I wasn't sure of how to react to Stark's tears. But I knew I had to do something anyways, even though I wasn't sure what.
"Stark..." I called out to him, almost in a whisper.
He didn't answer and neither did he turn to look at my face.
He just kept sobbing silently.
I sat beside him on the bed and placed my right hand on his left hand.
"Stark... What's wrong?" I asked tenderly.
Stark immediately put his arms around me and cried even more.
"Thank you Andra." He said.
"Thank you so much." He said again.
"Why? Come on Stark, you know you don't have to thank me. We are friends after all." I said to him.
"But why are you crying? What happened to you? Did I do something wrong?" I kept asking him questions which he did not give answers to any.
He just kept crying silently with his arms around me.
I slowly hugged him back and patted his
Stark proceeded out of the bathroom after some minutes.He only had a towel round his waist and he walked towards me."..." Stark wanted to say something but no words came out of his lips."Well?! What do you have to say for yourself?!" I screamed at him.He looked at me and scratched his head nervously."I'm really really sorry Andra. I didn't do it on purpose. I had soap in my eyes and I was only desperate to wipe it off. That's all." He tried to explain."So you couldn't tell the difference between a human hand and a towel?!" I yelled."I'm sorry. Like I said, I was desperate to wipe it off. I didn't check if it was human hand or a towel. I'm so sorry." Stark apologized.I frowned at him and turned my face away from his."Well, I forgive you. But don't you dare try it again." I said."Thank you so much. I really appreciate." Stark replied.
I won't just stand here and let her enjoy herself like that.I walked up to Stark and pecked him on the cheek, right in front of Agatha.I even gave her a wink and smiled.I sat beside Stark and offered to feed him.I bet it hurt her to see me do stuff she could never do.Stark hesitated at first, saying that he wasn't a kid and is capable of feeding himself. After a little persuasion, he then.I fed him and spared Agatha some glances.She got up from the table and left our presence.I stopped feeding Stark and I burst into laughter."What's so funny?" He asked."Nothing. Let's just eat till our tummies are full. We've got a big day ahead of us." I replied."Okay, if you say so." He said."Crazy lady." He added."What did you just call me?" I asked."Nothing, let's just eat." Stark said."Yo
I arrived home very tired and seriously stressed out.What a waste of time Stark is.After taking my bath and relaxing on the bed, that was when I realized something was wrong.How come things looked different in this room than when I had left it?I sat up on bed and scanned the room thoroughly.And then I noticed the change.There was extra load in the room.It's quite obvious who it was that these luggages belonged to.Then my mind went to my wardrobe.Oh, she dare not have touched my clothes.I got up from bed and walked up to my wardrobe.My jaw dropped once I opened it.Oh my gosh! Not my outfits!This is just crossing the limits. Nobody messes with my clothes and gets away with it.She had squeezed all my dresses to a corner and hung hers neatly on hangers.I immediately
I listened as Stark's step mother walked up the stairs and Agatha was still crying in the bathroom.I unlocked the bathroom door went into the bathroom.I hit Agatha hard across her head and she fell down to the ground.Only unconscious not dead.Stark's step mother reached my room and she started knocking at the door.After waiting without getting a reply, she knocked again.What does this woman really want from me?"Agatha, are you in there?" Stark's step mother asked from the other side of the door.I stayed quiet and so did Agatha.Well, yeah. What was she supposed to say when she is unconscious?After some time, I heard the footsteps of Stark's step mother go down the stairs again.That was a close one.I wouldn't want her to see with her own eyes that I had just finished beating up her so called daughter in-law.
I turned around and Stark wasn't behind me anymore.He had already gone into the bathroom to take his bath.He must really be mad at me for locking him out last night. He isn't even talking to me at all.I should make it up to him. But how on earth would I do that? I don't even know what he likes or any other thing about him.Even if he didn't pick me up on time yesterday, he still came for me.I should have gone with him.What else would I have done? I was angry and extremely tired. I wasn't in the right mood at that time.He should have understood that. But then again, he apologized to me.I should have listened and forgiven him.I've just been too cruel to him.But why did he sleep behind the sofa instead of on top of it?I will have to ask him that.I sat on the bed and waited for Stark to come out of the bathro
39The next morning,I woke up to find myself in bed.I feel so cold. I think last night's sleep must have really gotten to me.How did I get in bed.I recall only sleeping outside.And my head... It's aching so much.I tried to get up but my body was too weak."What do you think you are trying to do? Don't even think of getting up from that bed. You are still very weak." Stark said as he walked into the room."How did I get here?" I asked him."Isn't the answer to your question quite obvious?" He replied with a question."You got me here?" I asked."Of course I did. It's not like my step mother or the new lady could do it." He said."Thank... Wait, what?" I replied."Did you just say new girl?" I asked."Well, yeah. My step mother got a new lady to be my wife. S
40Now I just feel like a terrible person. I never knew that Stark had gone through things like this.I'm just making life more difficult for him."I'm really sorry about that." I said."Don't worry about it. I've gotten over everything." Stark replied."No, not that. It's just... You have gone through so much and I've been such a bitch to you." I explained."It's alright Andra, I forgive you. What are friends for? I wouldn't be your friend if I wad to hold a grudge against you." Stark said."Thanks, you are the best." I said."Hm." Stark said."What?" I asked."You know, that's actually the nicest thing you have ever said to me." Stark said.I smacked him lightly on the head and giggled."Crazy guy." I called him."I'll always be crazy for you... As a friend of cour
41I was so happy to see the obvious shock on the faces of Diana and Stark's step mother once they saw me on Stark's back.I stuck my tongue out at Diana as Stark carried me towards my chair at the table.So that's the Diana? She isn't even as pretty as I thought she would be.With a name like that you would think she was an angel in the face, if not at heart."What rubbish! What do you hint you are doing Stark?! Why would you carry her on your back in that manner?" Stark's step mother said.Diana made a sad looking face in front of Stark's step mother and Stark himself."Just look at Diana. Look how sad she is now. Why did you carry another woman in front of her?" Stark's step mother asked."Yes mother, he is breaking my heart right now." Diana agreed."Oh, sorry Diana. Now look how she feels now. There there, you'll be fine. I'm sure it was only
