Tremendous Victory

last update Last Updated: 2024-07-10 06:03:24
The new week met me excited about trying my newly acquired talents on Simon, I walked into my floor with a radiant smile on my face, quite early to be exact.

It was the first time I got up before Ajax during the week. Normally, either Ajax or my alarm clock was responsible for waking me up and the way they did was astonishingly similar.

With a loud shriek.

This time I woke Ajax the same way, about 30 minutes earlier and he was none to happy about that.

I itched to battle, granite face for granite face with Simon,

‘Oh, the look on his face, I can't wait to see it’, I giggled out loud and look around the hall to make sure no one was looking at me strangely.

Thankfully they were not, everyone was currently preoccupied with settling in for the morning, plus the hall was scantier than usual.

The fact that the hall was bare of Miss Debra was another source of excitement.

The absence of the condescending looks she always gave me when I rushed in one or two minutes late was a welcome

    ‘So how did it go', Adam asks immediately I take my seat next to him. ‘I would call it…’, I breath in deeply giving a dramatic pause. ‘A tremendous victory’, I end with a laugh and a little performers bow to the side. He burst out laughing to the annoyance of the coworkers around us, one throws a glare my way and I stare her down, She averts her eyes after a while glare shifting to a look o discomfort, ‘Ha, even the great Simon Valero had a hard time in a staring match against me so who are you?’ I laugh at her flustered look. ‘You see what I did there right’, I turn to Adam and point at the unfortunate coworker with my chin. Adam nods, ‘even Si., Mr. Valero could not bear staring me down talk less of her', Adam laughs again. ‘I guess Bella's lessons paid off' In his excitement Adam did not notice my almost use of Simon’s name and I hoped it stayed that way. We both turn back to work the rest of the day passing by uneventful. While I went to pick Ajax during lunc

    ‘Coast is clear', I glanced around squinting, my face glued to the clear glass window of the white and black taxi. The glass fogged up from my breath, Adam's raucous laughter distracting me from face identifying everyone on the street. ‘You know you’re beginning to look crazy right’, he wheezes in between bouts of laughter. I look between Adam’s laughing face and the drivers irritable one. Through the rearview mirror, I saw the taxi driver’s brow furry in a frown and his nostrils constrict and dilate with impatience. He opens his mouth to speak, tired of me wasting time. ‘Okay we can leave now', I pull open the door and hurry out Adam on my heels. Adam continues laughing to the annoyance of startled school children walking by. ‘Stop it, you’re being embarrassing’, I hit him to stop his annoying laughter. He only increases it, doubling over and clutching his stomach. ‘Fine! I’m leaving’, I purse my lips in annoyance and turn to go. ‘Wait, wait, okay I’ll stop', he hurries afte

    Chapter 30 Empty street stares at me as I round the bend, the street was only dotted with the occasional school child. ‘Whew, thank goodness', I sigh in relief. I walk towards a waiting Ajax, ‘he's not there'. ‘But, he..’, ‘He's not there Ajax, I’ve checked’, I grab and pull a pouting Ajax. ‘Imagine, seeing Adam here, it would be hard to explain what he was doing here without it pointing to something bad', I think while transferring Ajax. ‘I don’t think I would be able to take it if he had ulterior motives for befriending me', relief courses through me again and again. Checking my watch as I walk back into my department floor, I see that I’m 3 minutes late. I hoped no one took notice as i turn back to my computer, ‘I wouldn’t want Simon to start asking questions again'. My peace is continuously disturbed by an annoying gaze and I remember why I hurried out to pick up Ajax before. ‘Psst’, I nudge Adam. ‘Do you mind dealing with that', I point at Miss Janet that was stating

    The TV remote could have cracked from how hard I clutched it. Immediately I got the call from Adam, the alarm in his voice spurred me out of be faster than I could blink.I pressed down on the red button waiting for the TV to turn on, it took a while blinking to life after a few seconds of me holding my breath.It’s probably due to the fact that it had not been used for a long time but that thought took the back seat in my mind as I flipped through the channels away from cartoons and animation.Clutching the remote like it was my lifeline, my mind thinks back to the different times when a single news was enough to get me to uproot my life from one place and run to another.Just the news about one journalist or YouTuber getting wind about the whereabouts of Simon's ex- wife was enough to get me packing.It always ended up with them finding about my street, my exact house number, the places I worked but I would have been long gone by then.A few weeks of staying in hiding in whatever n

    ‘It will be best if Miss Tina goes', my eyes turn to the person who utters those words and I fix the person with a burning stare. Although I was sure everyone was thinking that way but the person was really unfortunate to actually voice it out. Annoyance and anger burn in me hardening my gaze, Taking a step back from my piercing gaze, said person averts his eyes. I turn my eyes back to the rest of the crowd who silently agreed with his statement. Betrayal fills me and I’m close to flaring up at them. ‘Why do I even feel betrayed', this question crosses my mind as I look at their pitiful looks and averted eyes. ‘Not that they actually cared about me', I remember the same coworkers who said unbelievable things about me and spared no time in throwing me under the bus. My anger leaves, and I’m left feeling deflated. Resignation dawns on me as I discover that there’s was no way out of this. They had not said anything yet but the looks on their faces solidifies the fact that they wo

    The crack of something hitting the door echoes in my ears, whatever it was smashed to the ground and a annoying thought strays into my mind.‘Would I have been the unfortunate door? getting hit in the head just because if his anger had I not scrambled from his sight as fast as possible',Relief sagging my shoulders, I rest on the said door and exhale a breathe I didn’t know I was holding in.‘To think I was eager to see him show weakness, emotion or anything to show he was not an actual block of ice and cold stares', I drag in a breath again,The look on his face was murderous, fury rolled off him in waves and the few seconds I spent in his presence was enough for me to see the hard set of his jaw and hear the repetitive sound of his teeth grind.To put it simply, his weakness wasn’t pretty, and apart from cold looks and icy stares the only other emotion he showed was anger, in various degrees.Thinking about it, I could count on my fingers the number of times I had seen him smile, T

My mood plummets to the woody floor boards of my hotel room when I listen to the morning news while preparing for work. Putting a call through to the legal team of SM I wait as the line rings, once, twice wearing my thinning patience. The line clicks after 3 more rings and I look around remembering it was 7 in the morning and no one would be at the office yet. I search through my phone for the name of one significantly annoying person, in SM that I couldn’t get rid of even if I wanted to. Sighing, I bring it to my ear preparing to wait the number of times it usually took him to pick up. Surprisingly, it get picked up immediately, like he was waiting for my call. ‘Can you explain the nonsense that I’m watching right now’, my voice echoes around the small hotel room as I stare at the headlines written boldly on the screen. ‘Mr.

    The next morning as I stare at my beloved white ceiling, I notice something as changed,Firstly, I couldn’t find that square shaped faded spot on my ceiling, or the sparse streaks of pure white among my ceiling, I look to the side to see the tendrils of dawn that I was once accustomed to, to see it as full blown streaks of sunlight spilling across my bedroom floor.It was a welcome change, the fact that I slept better, I didn’t wake up just few hours after sleeping only to stare, frustrated,It was a happy change I noticed, one that had me smiling as I got ready, never mind the side- eyed looks that Ajax was giving me.Apply makeup on, I notice the bags under my eyes were fading and I no longer needed to apply a thick layer of powder to hide it.It was wonderful, healing my heart, letting go of built up hatred that had lasted six years long.‘Mum, what has you smiling like that’, Ajax finally stops with suspicious looking, opting to confront me directly.‘Don’t tell me you got a husb
