All Chapters of Mary's Dilemma : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Endrick and I have been friends since my college days. But as the case may be, we met strangely. I was looking for a job when I went inside the company. As I entered, the rays of light went into my eyes. Hence, I put my face up, and I saw a man standing next to me. I felt a flush hit my cheeks. Yes, sorryI said dumbly, actually not knowing that I had stepped on his foot because he was standing very close to me. He nodded, flashing me a warm smile. I took a deep breath and resisted the urge to turn around. I had the urge in my thoughts to tell me to speak to him. I pulled back, wondering if I could recognize the face I was seeing. I have probably met the particular physical being I'm seeing right now. Carefully, remembering that drilled into my head, even trying to recall all past events that had happened in my life. Nearly anxious, I turned to the right, and rapidly I opened my mouth.” “Do I know you before”I said. He was surprised by the question I asked. He kept quiet, and

Yes, I replied.What about your parents? He said.They are fine. I replied.Endrick also asked if I was living alone or with my parents and I replied no. I had just moved out just recently to find greener pastures and make a living, so I am currently alone. Oh!Sorry about that, he commented. It is nothing. I replied. I asked him about his marital status also, and he responded by saying he was single at the moment. Looks like we had got no partner I thought. After all the chatting, we left and he decided to drop me at my house, but I declined. He persuaded me, but I later accepted his request. He asked for my number, which I gave him. I also asked for his own and he did not hesitate to give me it. I bid him goodbye as he set off in his car. It looked like the relationship between me and Endrick had started clicking again. Who knows what our fate could be, I silently said to myself as I smiled. The next day, I woke up just to see that I missed Endrick's call on my phone. I was

Hi Endrick, the lady said.Hey, Juliet, what's up, how are you doing? Endrick replied as she put her hand around Endrick's neck and gave him a peck on his chick.My mood changed instantly, as I began to wonder, someone who just defended me, not long ago that I was over the moon, is now with another lady.Juliet and Endrick continued their discussion as they entered his office.I asked one of my colleagues Juliet Endrick and she said that is his girlfriend because she comes looking for him every time.I was shocked to hear and imagine what she just said, but I tried as much as possible to hide my facial expressions from being known to my coworkers. As I continue doing my job I begin to wonder what just happened before me and after what I just heard.It was as if my heart had been broken like a crate of eggs carried with levity hands.I wondered if what Endrick said was true when I asked him about his relationship status and he said he was still single at the moment, the joy that happ

I was completely shocked when I received the devastating news about my dad's health. My heart sank as I was informed that his condition had worsened, and I was overcome with a mix of numbness and exhaustion. My sister explained that my father was suffering from a severe kidney problem and urgently needed a kidney transplant, but was currently relying on dialysis. I couldn't help but question why this was happening and felt a sense of panic and helplessness. I immediately left work and rushed to the hospital to be with my family. When I arrived, the sight of my mom and sister, both physically and emotionally drained, left me feeling even more distressed. Seeing them in such a state, I couldn't hold back my tears – I felt lost and completely unsure of what to do. I visited the doctor to discuss my father's health. The doctor informed me that my dad urgently needs a kidney transplant in order to survive. The doctor also mentioned the staggering cost of his weekly dialysis treatment - a

He backed down, I wanted to take a less aggressive position, so as not to confuse him. Everyone's eyes were fixed on me. I entered the reception feeling embarrassed and full of guilt as if I had committed a crime. I hated what Endrick did, why would he create and drive unnecessary concern and attention to me? The closest colleague to me at work is Sandra. Sandra came to ask me what all that happened was all about. Ah, Endrick has finally led me to where I don't want, I said, and I paused. I don't know, I replied. Don't know what? She questioned. Oh my God. Okay, let me explain, I said to her. When I was coming to work this morning, waiting for the bus, Endrick saw me and he persuaded me to give me a ride to the company but I declined. You what! She exclaimed. You mean you declined the request of Endrick to give you a lift to the company. 'Wow’, she added. Mary, don't you know almost all the female workers working in this particular company always wish for such an opportunity, even
