Edith

I did not know his promise to stay away from me was not after I left his house but from the very next day. It has been ten days since the incident happened and I did not see him from then. We were literally two people living under the same roof but actually only one because when I stayed in the house, he wasn't present. I did not know where he lodged for there had been several nights passed since then. When I call him, he doesn't pick my calls. Getting frustrated one day I called him through my friend's phone. He picked and when I wanted to speak to him he simply avoided me stating he was busy.

With the days passing I am getting frustrated living in this house alone. I had no idea when he came home and left. It felt like a burden on me....like I was depriving him of his own place.

Today I am determined to speak to him by hook or by crook. I took a leave from university calling sick and stayed home waiting for him. At ten passed eleven there was click on the door knob.
