FINALE

“We find love in unexpected places, trust me” Rita remarked after she and children had just finished watching a love movie.

"Oh wow, so that's how you met dad, in an unexpected place?” The sharp little boy who was named, Anthony blurted.

Rita laughed softly as she snuggled deeper into the couch cushions, her kids perched on either side of her. "Indeed it was, my darling angels. Your father and I met at the same place of work” She briefly told them.

The little boy furrowed his brow, still struggling to comprehend how his parents' love story began in such a mundane.

"Actually, we met before we met" Rita said, even making things more complicated for the children.

"Mom, I'm still having trouble picturing this," the little girl named Lily, who looked like her mom chipped in. "What kind of workplace was it? How do you mean you met him before you met him? What does that even mean?” She questioned.

"And how did you two even start talking?" Anthony added.

    RitaI didn't know when I fell asleep on the couch the previous night.As I slowly opened my sleepy eyes and my glance stopped exactly at the mini wall clock." Christ! " I exclaimed and jumped up immediately.10:25 am?How can it be 10:25am already? when I'm supposed to be at work by 9am unfailingly."Oh My God!"I stood up, confused on what to do first..Was it to run into the bathroom or to quickly make my breakfast?I rushed into the bathroom, pulled off my undies and littered them on the floor.Life of a lonely spinster, I'm careless with my undies and panties.No guy will visit is a key assurance.*Immediately I ran out of the bathroom hurriedly, I wore a simple outfit -a baggy blouse and a somewhat loose knee short after all, my job does not require an elegant or gorgeous dressing and it’s not like I’m having a date with a boyfriend.*I ran into Beauty and Cosmestic company. It’s a big company which deals with import and exchange of facial care products to younger industries.

    Rita's POVThere’s never ever a free day. There were many clients to attend to, and as usual it was tiring especially because Evelyn is not here to assit me.“Oh My God!!!” I stretched my hands wearily after attending to the last client.Now they have stopped trooping in and I really needed a short break before another person comes in.I sighed heavily and rested my head on the desk.Earlier, I just did a full glam make over for a young girl who must be barely twenty and she was about to have a court wedding photoshoot.Why is everyone getting married every day?Ugh!I cringed as I thought of my age which further made me to think of menopause. Gosh! I'm not getting there anytime soon. I shook my head like I could shake off the ugly thoughts too.I checked the digital clock on my phone home screen, it was high time to have lunch yet Evelyn and her boyfriend aren’t back. I shook my head, looking lightly miffed because we three are meant to go to the cafeteria together.I clicked on the Ki

    Rita's POVEvelyn uttered real sense and the serious discussion we had really hit me hard on the exact right spot. Plus, seeing her and Adams flirting, playing like the two love-birds which they newly were; pecking and kissing publicly, intertwined their fingers and interlocked arms, called themselves romantic names has made me wanna have a man to do all these things with. I need to experience what it feels like.I walked alone to the bus stop, sat and waited for the bus to arrive.It could have been Evelyn and I, going home together but nope, she chose relationship over friendship."Could you please move to the next seat?" A muscular voice said; " Please" He added and I adjusted to the other end before looking up to see who it was."You.." I pointed, trying to recall where I must have methim."The lady from Beauty and Cosmetic" The guy recongized me right away."Oh yeah you!!" It was the guy who came to the saloon and didn't know his way to the male section. That weird guy."You must

I can’t believe that I’m kinda eager to find a partner, all of a sudden. Let's see how it goes, how long it would last and if it'll make me happy atlas!I woke up very early that day, quickly engaged in some simple domestic chores which didn't take much of my time because I have the whole small house to myself.I searched for and jostled out a really nice outfit out of my wardrobe, with a matching pretty footwear. I'm fashion conscious but these days I've been less concerned about whatever I put on simply because I have this sort of mentality that there's no guy out there to wear a dress to kill for. But today I say Bye- bye to that mindset.I blsuhed secretly when I realised that my mode of dressing has captivated men's attention.Gosh! When and why did I start thinking about guys?

    Rita's POV"We were not matchmade, he was only introduced to me" I rolled my eyes."Whatever, it's the same thing in terms that it is mostlikely you end up with him” She said. “Rita got a guy?" Adam came over and interrupted us."Oh baby.." His girlfriend stood up and gave him a tight hug and he reciprocated by kissing her on the forehead."So is there anything I've missed?" He asked again and I gave Evelyn a-don't-you-dare-speak look. I know I'm exaggerating by being unnecessarily shy and embarrassed but enough of this humiliation. She dare not tell him yet that there's a guy I got hooked up with and I may eventually fall in love with him along the line.. Oh nah! what did I just think of?"Are you guys hiding things from me now? I thought we were best cliques, best friends?" He suspected when he noticed our voiceless communication."Well dear, it's ladies stuff..hmmm?" She said, romantically pinching her boyfriend's cheek."Hmmn accepted but little do you know that some people are e

I stared at the phone screen blurrily ~ It was Eveyn. "Evelyn!" I mumbled, trying to sit upright. “Good morning! did you get the notification too?” “What notification?” “Mrs Blakeston wants us to be at the office an hour before the usual arrival time” Evelyn announced. “Huh! Why is that?” I rubbed my eyes tiredly. “She said she has an important information to pass across and we must all be present” Evelyn replied. I yawned loudly again. “Oh good I called you, I know you wouldn’t have seen that nor woken up yet. Now go get ready, let’s hear what she has for us today after days of being absent” “I hope it’ll be a good news though. That woman has never said anything pleasing” I murmured. “So see you at work!” Evelyn disconnected the call. I just sat there on the bed, thinking about nothing in specific just t

    Epilogue 5:As Rita drifted off to sleep, a smile still lingering on her lips. Finn stood in front of the bassinet, gazing down at the two tiny bundles of joy. He reached out and gently ran his finger along the little boy’s cheeks, marveling at the softness of his skin, the delicate curve of his nose. He did the same for the little girl, admiring her dainty fingers and her rosebud lips; she looked like her mom while the baby boy looked like the father, Finn.He carried the little boy since he was awake and playful. He held their son in his arms and sat on the rocking chair next to Rita’s bed. He gazed down at the tiny baby, his heart bursting with love and wonder.All of Finn's previous doubts and fears about fatherhood had melted away, replaced by a fierce, all-consuming love for his children.

Finn was never this quiet in bed. Was something bothering him?“What's wrong with you Finn?” Rita asked.Finn sighed heavily after staring at her for a while. Without uttering a word, he leaned into her to claim her lips but she pulled away.“What's bothering you Finn?” She asked again, her voice came out soft, laced with concern.For a moment, he was quiet but then, he spoke."Nothing," Finn replied with a weak smile. "I'm just a bit nervous about becoming a father. I mean, what if I'm not good enough? What if I mess up?"Rita laughed softly. "You're already the best husband and friend anyone could ask for.

    Tears rolled down Rita’s eyes and she kept on replaying the memories with Zane, comparing it with that of Finn and the fact that they turned out to be the same person was now glaring. Even when she tried to push the thought aside, she just couldn't. Why did Finn play games with her? Did he truly love her? Same Finn was Jared too.She had sent her resignation letter to his email and he had called and called. He had also been here, knocking and knocking on the door but she wouldn't open the door for him.She read their conversation over again on Kikachat and scrolled through the gossip/gist feed, thinking she’ll just bump into some of her nude pictures since Charles had said he would release it soon. While she was at it, the application suddenly began to glitch and malfunction and then, it finally crashed. Kikachat was no more.***“I did it! I did it finally!!” Alex announced, screaming.“You did it?”“Yeah, not only did I wipe the pictures, I took down the application”“Oh My God!”

    “Finn is Zane”“What..what did you say? What? How can Zane be Finn? Can you even listen to yourself?” Rita shook her head continuously.“Finn himself will explain to you better”“You mean Charles is the nternet god, the popular founder of Kikachat?” Evelyn asked to confirm.“And Zane Is Finn?” I uttered unbelievably.“Remember I told you Zane and I are buddies at college, I recongised him the first day he stepped into his office. He told me what he was up to and wanted me to play along and that's why I was always concerned about your complicated relationship with Zane and with Finn because they are the same person…” Before Adam finished explaining, Rita stood up and dashed out of the restaurant quickly.****“Charles security is pretty tight” Alexander said as he battled with his laptop while Finn stood impatiently behind him.“Are you sure you don't need my help?
