The reason I'm excited at my up coming birthday is not because I'm turning a year older.

It was mainly because Richard was going to ask me to finally marry him.

I have looked forward to such news and time and finally I can't hold back my joy because it is finally coming to past.

I have being in and out of relationships in the past until I met Richard and fell in love with him.

He lights up my world and brings smile to my face.

What more can I ask, with Richard by my side I feel like a conqueror.

At first I thought he was not serious, I thought he has no serious plans for our relationship, I was scared deep down whenever I thought of that but not again.

He has proven to be everything in one.

My parents doesn't talks to me  about getting married like before.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the engagement ring and the hope that my wedding is around the corner.

Melinda, my younger sister called me to congratulate me ahead of time.

"Finally, after the long wait you are going to be engaged and then marriage follows. Becca, I'm happy for you. I was already getting worried about you finding the right life partner. Unlike me, I don't find it hard to get exactly who I want. Presently I'm with this handsome, well to do guy. His name is Cole. His father is a business mogul. If you see him, he is so fresh, his skin is like glass. We met at an event that my friend invited me to and ever since then we started dating. I can't wait to round up with my studies here so that I can come home and introduce him to Mom and Dad. They will love him. Any way happy 28th birthday in advance and congratulations that Richard is finally proposing to you.

Melinda may sound good to her own ears but to me she was adding insult to the whole "congratulation".

I didn't want to be offended, I try not to be offended no matter how she sounded.

Since she is trying to be a Savage, I was good at it.

I decided to laugh it off and fired back with my own spiced up reply.

"Thanks Melinda, I wish you are here to witness it all but is okay. I will send pictures to you and you should also tell your pretty boyfriend, who's skin glows like glass and can be easily broken... make him to start thinking in the right direction. You are just two years younger than me, so you are old enough to start a home too. Do you remember my friend Rina? She is married now. You are a year older than her. Time is ticking for both of us, not just for me.... I'm about to get engaged so you are next in line Melinda. Anyway, be good sis, take good care of yourself as always. 

She replied but not with the same bright tone she was using earlier on me.

I smile within me as the call ended.

That night I try to reach Richard on phone but his line was busy and whoever he was talking with must be very important because I got tired of trying to reach him and decided to wait for him to call me.

I noticed for some days, his line has become so busy that I hardly reach him.

After staying awake and waiting for over an hour and he didn't call I decided to called him back.

He was no more on the phone, he picked on the second ring, he was sounding as if he was already sleeping.

I was mad at him that he finished talking with whoever he was on phone with and did not call me, instead he slept off 

Richard started apologising for not calling.

He said he was on phone with one of the office managers, who was explaining some important office things to him.

He was tired after the call and slepte off, forgetting to call.

We talked that night until he complained that he really needs to go to bed.

He told me goodnight and as usual that he loves me.

I replied that I loved him more.

I can stay awake all night talking with him.

Talking about our future, how many children we will have and so many other things.

I enjoyed talking about the future with him even though sometimes he sound like the conversation was boring him but I enjoy it anyway.

Few days later, I stopped by at JoJo's place to pass out time.

She raised the trending topic about me and Richard.

"Becca, you are really happy about this your birthday and the supposed surprise engagement from Richie. Why do you seem so sure that he will propose to you? If he wants to surprised you with a ring you don't supposed to know anything about it until the main day comes but since you are already aware of it all... that means is no more a surprise engagement plus your birthday party. But did Richie mention to you that he was going to engage you on your birthday?

I laughed off her  questions before replying her.

"His attitude says it all JoJo. He doesn't need to tell me before I know what he is planning. Richard is my man and I know him in and out. Even though I'm aware he will propose but let's all pretend that we don't know so that we won't spoil the surprise. 

JoJo agreed to the idea before saying.

"But Richie is quiet cute, and he knows how to make a woman feel loved. Just a look in his eyes alone and a lady will melt inside. I don't really like when a man is a sweet talker but Richie does it in a very romantic way unlike some other men that will irritates me with their mere words.  Well, I'm happy for you babe... Richie is a perfect gentle man for me.

    Monday came and work starts, I continued my usual routine acting like nothing happened but deep down I feel empty and pained.Richard called to apologise again he even took me out, buy me gifts as he try to make up for everything.I later visited him over at his place and noticed a lady's make up kit and ear rings in his room dresser.That was strange and I guess he did not notice it before then.The ear rings looks familiar but I can't remember who I saw it with.I was sure I have seen something like that on a Lady but couldn't figure it out.I quickly asked Richard about it and he was speechless at first before saying is probably one of his male friend and his girlfriend that visited and passed a night. he said is probably his friend's girl that forgot it.He collected the items and said he will inform the guy about it.I quickly waved it off and did not give it a thought.Most ladies wear look alike of things, I probably saw a passer-by wearing it and it began to ring a bell when i

    I came in and saw him waving over a table.I doubled up my steps and almost kicked down a chair that was on my way. I was too much in a hurry to get to him and receive the great news.I was almost out of breath when I got to the table.He was not looking so bright, he curve his mouth into a smile as I sat opposite him, so excited.There was a bottle of wine and two cups.He was gradually sipping his own and later poured some for me in the second glass cup.He asked me if I care for anything to eat, I could have said yes on a normal day because is my favorite eatry and their food tastes so good.But i was filled up with excitement and told him that I'm okay with the wine.I Just wanted him to quickly get it all done.I placed my two hands on the table so that he can see that I'm fully ready.He cleared his throat, look straight at my beaming face filled with smile and said."Becca, I love you and you know that... we have being together for three years now.

    "Becca, listen to me. Is not my good wish that we should go our seperate ways. I never wanted to hurt or break your heart this way but my happiness matters. Three years is nothing... don't make it seem like a big deal. I know some friends that dated for five to ten years before going their separate ways. So, three years is just like yesterday, move on with your life and stop holding onto that because nothing will make me consider you Becca. Recently you have become too desperate, going around telling everyone that we are getting engaged... that I was going to propose to you when I never for once thought of such. It was all your idea and you thought you can make me settle for less, never. I'm sorry Becca but this is the end of the road for us. Richard stood, took his glass of wine, he gently hit my untouched drink with his cup and said "cheers Becca to another new begining for us...it was nice knowing you. Goodbye and enjoy the rest of your life because I'm going to do the same"He l

    The strange Lady took me home that night. As we stopped in front of my gate, I was reluctant to get down.

    He never responded to the kiss but as I kept on with it, he began to respond.I didn’t want it to be just another round of kiss this time. So I decided to help him do the needful that night by trying to take action of every part of his body that I need to touch just to arouse him. I went straight to his pyjamas trouser. He suddenly stopped me and pull back my hands. “Sto…stop it Becca.

    “whaaaat! Are you serious right now by asking me such question? We are not having this conversation Becca. What has come over you...? He barked at me angrily while getting up to his feet. But I wasn’t ready to let go, we must tackle this and get to the root of it. I think I have kept quiet enough and is time to really know what was going on.“Answer the question Ohio. Don’t try to dodge from it because I’m fully ready to find out the truth. I deserve to know and if there’s anything you are hiding then spill it out and stop all this childish game. Tell me and make me understand, is better said out than all this confusing attitude that you kept pulling. “Becca, you are seriously asking me if I’m impotent or have issue with my manhood? And you expect me to answer you straight up? I’m trying to understanding the angle all this is coming from but I can’t help but feel insulted.“I never meant it as an insult.

    “Relax Becca, I will soon be leaving. I did not come for trouble…I came for peace. The cops do not have to know please. I wanted to inform you that I finally caught Silas.

The cops found out that two other women had laid a complain concerning him before. He is locked up now but I couldn’t recover all that he took from me.

He wanted me to trust him and he also showed me evidence of countries he has traveled to and his fleet of cars and houses that he owned in different countries.

    I quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and hide at the back of the door, waiting for his partner to come up suddenly so that I can smash his head with it.

Open this door or we will force it open and it will be worst for you….They knew that I was awake after I turned off all the light.They were commanding me to open the door or the worst will happen to me if they force it open. Fear gripped me, I was confuse on what to do. I can’t open the door and watch them hurt me. I can hear them trying to unlock my door with something.
