Her Emancipator

Chapter 13 .... On My Own

*Audrey

I was really down after she left but I made up my mind to go and have a chit chat with my dad so he'll tell me how he got my mom back. When I was little he told me the worst thing you can do was to play a game with feelings because no matter what, one heart hurts the most and if karma decided to take action you'll be the one hurting the most.

So I took my bath, dressed up in casual and decided to go to a near café to get my breakfast. On my way downstairs, I took the elevator there I met a little girl about eight clutching her teddy bear and was crying.

I bent down and tried to ask her the reason behind her tears, she looked up at me with her teary glassy grey eyes so innocent and told me
" I tried today to tell a boy in my class I liked him but today just seemed not to go well for me. I honestly wanted to ask him to be my boyfriend. He said no and I was utterly embarrassed he told me he liked someone else" .

To say I was shocked would be an understatement cause what would a little girl like her want to do with a boyfriend. Just the the elevator dinged and we stepped out into the lobby. I took her to the lounge area in the lobby and sat her down at least let me do something good today.

The first thing I asked her for some reasons was " How old are you to start with?"

With her head kept down she replied " 10 but I'm in grade 5 so I
know what you're gonna say that I'm
too young but I'm a big girl too you know". I laughed and told her " You feel wiser because you're ten?" She nodded now smiling the I said again "But I'm way older so that means I'm wiser than you, do you agree?" She nodded again and I said" So listen carefully let me give you a word of advice because it will guide you a long way in life okay ......," I then remembered that I didn't even know her name " Wait what is your name?"

"Grace and yours sir?"
" Audrey or you can call me BB from now on meaning Big Brother".

She laughed and said " That sounds more like a girl's name but whatever you say BB" she giggled raising her hand in mock surrender, I chuckled and continued " Okay Grace I'll continue now so listen cause you're about to get schooled by your big brother. So as I was saying, wait before I bore you it's gonna be kind of long but trust me I hope this will help you anyways.

" Every kid nowadays is trying to grow too fast at the age of 5 they already already know how to put on makeup, before ten they are looking for a boyfriend in order to show they fit in, teenage age is the worst because this is when they explore even more maybe somewhere out there 13 year Olds own a sexy pair of lingerie but don't bother yourself about that little one"
" Stop right there BB" she said touching my arm " I may be ten but that doesn't mean that I don't know what's up. Of course I know what a lingerie is but I'm still trying to figure out sex. I've been hearing the way cooler kids in my class talk about it but mama won't let me ask her she thinks I'm too little and innocent to know but I don't want to be I want to know". I was shocked beyond words to be honest but I carried on not knowing what else to say.

" I will continue now because I don't know what to say to that. Nearing 18 most of them may have lost their virginity, first kisses, been overdosed on illegal drugs and the worst part is that most of the time they do this just to fit in. There is a song that says ' we all live in a world that we design ' so why not be yourself and design your own world, those with your way of thinking will naturally become your close friends and you'll see yourself happy instead of trying to destroy your life all in the name of fitting in. All I'm trying to say is that yea I know you only live once but do it doing the right things enjoy your age think of your priority, come to think of it you don't need a boyfriend all you need are just friends there are so many interesting things you can do out there that does not involve sex and partying if you live this life it might be enjoyably for the start but as time goes on you'll see that's not how to live and if you're not lucky by the time you recover you might be close to suicide, jail or death. Ok I know I went to far there but you know what I'm trying to say. So why not use this time and have fun the right way like swimming, sky diving, gymnastics and all other fun stuff. Before I forget it's all right to take risks but do it wisely so either way if it's a success or a failure you won't regret it. Just remember there is time for everything you might make mistakes along the way but have one thing in mind, set your own PRIORITIES. Don't let anyone do it for you and make sure it's a good one you'll see although you'll make mistakes you'll still be happy. Now I've said all these when you get home ask yourself if you really need a boyfriend to have a good time any you decide is your own choice".

When I looked at her she was smiling but before she could talk her mom came up and started ranting on how she's been looking for her. Her mom dragged her for them to leave without acknowledging my presence but before she left my sight she turned and mouthed thank you BB.

I was grinning like a Cheshire cat. I really hope I impacted on her life. I heard a sound and realised it came from my tummy I remembered that I hadn't taken breakfast so I entered to satisfy my hunger.

°°°°°°°°°°°°

After breakfast I checked the time surprisingly it was already noon. I drove myself to my dad's house which was at the end of the town. It was a 30 minutes drive. The security recognised me so they opened the gates for me to drive in. My parents lived in a story building which was moderate but the expanse of land was large with about 4 other buildings for different purposes here and there. My favourite place was the garden. It was so peaceful and it overlooked a pond which was kind of surrounded with grown trees.

I parked my car in the parking space and headed straight for the house. When I entered no maid was around, it was not surprising because my dad loved his space and only needed maids for cleaning and laundry and also to help my mother out in the kitchen.

I went to his study, I knew he would be there for he loved reading novels and my mother was not around she left for some work. When I reached the door I knocked before I entered. He looked up from his book right now be was reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho when he saw me he laughed and said " What problem have you come to settle this time; is it about the girl?"

My dad is a loving man but he just likes going straight to the point way too much " Yes dad and good afternoon to you. Please I need you to tell me the story of how you got mum back I believe now is the best time".

" Hahaha, take a sit son and listen to some words of wisdom. I never did anything wrong by trying to buy your mum to start with I just pushed her away too much because I didn't have enough money. She got angry when she found the why I pushed her away and you know women always exaggerating she said I was making her feel like a gold digger. She said when you realise my worth and you're ready to fight for me let me know before it's too late. I didn't go after her but money. It later turned out that I needed a companion because the weight was too much so I devices a plan to win her back. When you fail in the plan you have devices to win your girl back let me know and I'll tell you the full story son".

" But dad " I was angry like how could he stop there but then he added" Every woman is unique and it takes only her true other half to figure out the way to her heart. And son no way is the same so if you're really made for her you device your own plan I'll only offer you my advice but nothing more. Do you understand son?"

I knew I couldn't argue further I just nodded and left. Well I guess it time I first of all did the right thing.

°°°°°°°°°°

So I called Mr. Chesterfield up for a meeting and told him I wanted the deal off. Things went downhill when he didn't agree but finally he said he would send his lawyer to Mr me to give me series of documents to sign the deal off. I was uneasy because he just called off the deal like that without much fuss but I've learnt a long time ago not to push my luck so I took what I got and left for my apartment. By the time I got home it was already dark. I went through my emails and luckily for me she hasn't resigned yet so I guess I'll spend the weekend thinking of a way to get my girl back.....
