HENRY

" Henry are you cheating on me ? Pearl asked looking pissed .....

I ignored her and walked to the bedroom ,she ran after me

" Don't you dare ignore me Henry ! Don't you dare ! She yelled and I sighed ....

" I'm not cheating on you and you know that " I replied trying not to raise my voice .

I don't need this nagging ,not now .

" I don't know anything anymore Henry ,I don't ! Why did that slut slap you ? And why was she saying it was over ? She yelled again

" Kheera is not a slut and you need to stop yelling " I half yelled back at her ....

" So her name is kheera? She asked and I shrugged

All of a sudden she bursted into tears .

Omg not again !

" Now you're defending her ,she's your mistress right ? You like her more than me right? She cried .....

Is this what I'm going to live with for the rest of my life ?

Hell no!

After we get married and I get her parents to sign the deal I'm getting a divorce !

Why will I leave kheera for such a cry baby ? I'll explain things to kheera and I know she'll take me back .

I moved closer to her and I circled her with my arms ,she pushed me away at first but calmed down since I didn't stop trying to hug her .....

'' I didn't mean to say that to you , I'm sorry , I'm sorry ,I love you " I replied turning her face to face mine and I kissed her.

I'll keep up with this for a while .

KHEERA

I woke up feeling embarrassed ....

What the heck happened last night?

What was I thinking?

Why did I suddenly turn to a jelly when Raymond hugged me ?

The most embarrassing part was when he fell on me and I closed my eyes expecting him to kiss me and he stood up hurriedly

What was I thinking?

I must be really crazy !

My phone rang and I immediately hurried to where I placed it .

Mum!

I'm going to listen to a lot of nagging this morning ,I can't deal with it .

I ignored the call and went to my social media page, I saw a message from Henry ...

I paused for a while before I clicked on it .

'' I'm sorry about what happened yesterday

I know I must have ruined your birthday , I'm really sorry about that .

A lot of things are going on and I know you won't understand

But you should know I love you khee ".

I hissed and threw my phone on the bed .

Does he have personality issues or something?

One minute he's in love with one pearl and another he's in love with me ,he's crazy !

But he said some things are going on , should I ask about it?

No! He's not my boyfriend anymore!

I picked my phone and cleared the love emojis I put in front of the boldly written MINE and changed his name to just Henry!

Should I delete his number ?

Should I block him ?

you can go to hell for all I care !

I threw my phone on the bed again and walked to my dressing mirror when I saw the necklace he bought for me last year on my birthday ...

I picked it up carefully , remembering the events that took place that day .

It was a romantic dinner date ,he bought me flowers and all sorts of gifts then placed the necklace gently on my neck .

'' I love you now and forever khee " were the words he said that night .....

Those memories brought tears to my eyes ....

How can someone just change overnight?

Well he didn't change all of a sudden ,I saw the signs ,I refused to acknowledge it .....

Why should I keep the things he bought for me when he's no more in my life ? .

I packed the necklace ,the clothes he bought for me ,his shirt ..... I paused inhaling his perfume that came from the shirt , I started crying again ....

I packed everything and took a lighter from the kitchen to burn it , I was about opening the door when someone knocked .

"Who is it ? I asked pissed at whoever is there

" Raymond" the person replied

" Ray ? I called

'' yes " he replied

As if struck by lightning I quickly hid the clothes and jewelries I was about to burn .

" Can I come in ? He asked

" Wait ! " I yelled

'' are you busy ? Should I come back later ? I just came to check if you were fine " he replied ...

'' Just give me five minutes " I replied ,ran to my wardrobe ,picked out new sets of clothings , quickly wore a short gown ,tied my hair into two buns ,wiped the tears off my face and rushed to the door ......

" Hey " I greeted smiling nervously

Why am I suddenly nervous around Ray?

'' can I come in ? He asked still at the door .

I quickly opened the door wide

" Of course you can " I replied letting him in ...

My apartment is a small room with my kitchen and bathroom in the same room so everything is kinda packed ,since I was going to move in with Henry when we get married I thought living here was fine .

Damn that Henry! I can't believe my whole world revolved around him .

The only space available to sit is on my bed and that was when I realized my underwear was lying helplessly on the bed ,I almost screamed .

I ran as if I was being chased to the bed ,I picked it up carefully with my hand at my back and threw it under my pillow .

'' you don't need to be embarrassed about these things ,I see a lot of these things in Tracy's house " he said smiling .

I rolled my eyes at him .

I am not Tracy.

'' of course " I replied forcing a smile with gritted teeth .

'' please have your seat " I continued pointing my hand to the bed .

" What should I offer you? I asked

He nodded his head gently '' don't bother I'm fine " he replied.

He sat carefully and that was when I was able to take a good look at him ,he looked nice in the white round neck he wore over a blue jean .

Why am I just noticing how cute he looks?

'' Do I look bad ? He asked bringing me out of my thoughts and embarrassing me again ,I can't believe I allowed him catch me checking him out .

" Of course not . Uhm how's your business doing? I asked smiling ,I needed to change the line of the conversation .

And that reminded me that my work leave would be ending next week .

Oh good lord !

" Business is fine ....I made a new wine with new combinations ,will you like to try it out sometime? He asked and I smiled .

He makes wine and he's good at what he does .

'' of course I'd love that " I replied still smiling .

'' so ....uhm ....how are you ? He asked with this tender voice filled with concern .

Is he worried about me ?

'' I uhm. I'm fine ." I replied

" Are you sure about that ? He said staring straight into my eyes and at that moment my brain started malfunctioning .

Kheera this is your bestfriend's younger brother for God sakes!

He's a brother to you !

''You are not related by blood " a voice in my head replied .

God!

Calm down kheera it was a mistake ,it's was just our lips touching by mistake " I replied trying to make her feel comfortable .She looked annoyed at what I said seeing the way she frowned ."

    RAYMONDI stared at her for a while ....so that's why she has been upset?I was only trying to make her comfortable . Why did she say her heart fluttered ? Does she like me ? What am I supposed to do now ? I don't want to say anything that will make her more upset so I just smiled at her with no word while we waited for Tracy . The rest of the evening went like that , kheera and I ignoring each other and Tracy being the life of the party . Two days later...............KHEERA " Kheera dear how's Henry doing? It's been a while since we last heard from him " Mum asked with both her attention and Dad's on me . I sighed gently . Even when it's almost a month that we broke up , people still have a way of bringing that jerk back into my life . " Is something wrong ? Dad asked ,he obviously found my silence awkward , whenever they ask of him I was always eager to tell them about him but I just don't know what to say to them . " Mum .... Dad.....

    RAYMOND She stared at me for what seemed like forever , what was I expecting? That she'd hug me and say she feels same way? " It's fine if you don't feel same way kheera ,I just decided to let you know what I feel for you ,at least to get the burden off my chest " I continued and she gave me a pitiful look that's really making me lose my cool. " I'm sorry Ray .... I'm sorry if I led you on , but you are like a brother to me " she replied and I scoffed in disbelief . So what was all that she did ? Was she just toying with my feelings? Am I just a plaything to her ? " So it's about the age difference kheera , really? "I asked not able to contain how hurt I was feeling . " I'm sorry Raymond ,but you are like a younger brother to me ,I don't think we can be anything more than that ". I stood still ,I couldn't believe my ears .am I that irrelevant to her ? Telling me she doesn't feel the same way wouldn't hurt like this . She doesn't dispute the fact that she likes me but she

    RAYMONDI woke up with a banging headache .I stood up slowly from the bed and grabbed my head with one hand since the headache was growing worse .I walked to my kitchen to pick a water or anything to reduce this migraine.I saw a note on the fridge handle ,I picked it up to read." Don't take a cold water it won't solve anything ,I already made some soup for hangover ,take it and warm it in the microwave ." I chuckled lightly .Tracy ! I didn't even know when she left yesterday .......I was about to throw the note away when I saw something scribbled on underneath what she wrote ." You'll have to explain why you kept mentioning my best friend's name in your sleep when we see !"I sighed .When did I do all that ? Thinking about it brought what happened yesterday back to my mind .It's about time you stop thinking about her Raymond!

They told me stories about how I had been declared dead and been in the bed for over a year before Raymond decided they bury me and all the things that has happened to them . " Stop crying or I'll cry too " David whispered gently and I chuckled lightly. " I thought men don't cry " " He's not a man " Raymond chipped in smiling cheerfully . "Oh how I miss you little brother , I miss you all ". " We missed you to death Tracy ..." DAVID Raymond and kheera left me and Tracy alone to talk .I noticed she got a bit moody when they walked out.

Enough with the stories doc ....tell me what's going on ?" He asked more impatiently and I nodded ." Your sister just responded to treatment , we got a signal from her brain "." You what ?"

It's expected and she's his sister "" He won't let us bury her David .....he won't let her rest because he believes a miracle is going to happen "." Kheera it's only normal he reacts that way , we both got to know her after she has grown ....they've been together since childhood and she has been more of a parent to him than a sibling so letting go to him is definitely not an option "."

I turned to look at Ella who looks frustrated and dissapointed at the same time .I know she hates dumping her cookings , it's like hurting her ego but I just can't bring myself to lift a spoon ." Are you going to take forever to mourn her ?" She asked and I sighed. This is definitely not about mourning her , I miss her like crazy , and I can't just accept the fact that I'll never get to see her again ." Talk to me David ....mum and dad are also worried sick about you especially mum ...."" I'm fine "" Are you ?" " Ella I'm fine and I'll love to be alone ....do I get to have that peace ?" . " Peace ?

She's gone Ray ...she's gone ..." Kheera said amidst tears .David just sat lifelessly on the floor ." She's not dead , she can't be dead ! She cannot die !" I yelled back at her as I feel my insides crumbling .The doctor walked out of the ward looking disheleved. I rushed to him ." How's my sister ? She's fine right ? She just went through a form of attack right?" " Calm down Mr Raymond ...."" Don't tell me to calm down ! Don't you dare !" I yelled and the doctor sighed slowly." She's brain dead Raymond .... she'll never wake up which means she's ......"" It means she's still alive right ?" " Yes ...we can say that because her other organs are fine and can be donated ....""

You are not dying anytime so......" " Let's stop lying to ourselves kheera , let's be realistic at least for the sake of these our private probably last ....talk " .I let out a small laugh .Was this how mother felt back then ?

Tracy ?" Raymond called surprised and the two of them that were fast asleep jolted up awake .I feel so sorry troubling them like this and making them care too much for me. " The ....the wedding .... I'm sorry ...I ....ruined the wedding ...".My throat hurts and It felels like I haven't talked for years ." Forget the wedding ...how are you feeling ?" David asked worry written all over his face. " How... long have I been asleep?" I asked my voice a little bit clearer although it still hurts ."

She had gone through too much stress and that was the reason behind the sudden collapse .... we'll have to get her admitted here and she won't be leaving anytime soon ......". " How is she? I mean right now ? How is she doing ?" I asked ignoring his explanations ." She's stable and she's under control .. she's asleep so you might have to wait a while before going in to see her " . He replied and walked away .I walked lazily to the window of her ward and I stared at how lifeless she looked on the bed .I let out a small laugh at how beautiful she still looks despite her condition ." She looks so beautiful doesn't she ?" I turned to see kheera standing beside me ." Yes she does " " Sh

It's not your 15th birthday darling ....who wears a peach colour dress on their wedding ?" I yelled and she glared at me ." Tracy !
