Val Diary Series

Episode 10

“Tessy just calm down, i believe everything happens for a purpose. Simply look towards the positive side of it” I murmured breathlessly, not knowing how to bring her out of the depression she was quickly slipping into.

“there is no way i can see things positively my dear. C’mon don’t try treating me like a baby” she breathed, raising her face to meet my gaze. I gently wiped her tears with my hand, silently praying for the emotional scene to end.

“Thank you” She muttered with great pain, her eyes still on me as if she was searching for something well hidden in my face. I blinked and looked away, a bit uncomfortable with her gaze.

“I just wish there is something i can do to help” i murmured with resignation, hugging her once again.

“Val i’m so grateful for the sudden show of care. I haven’t felt this loved in a long time. Maybe we should go out to catch some fresh air and fun. I haven’t eaten anything today and i’m so very hungry” she said softly, breaking free from my hold and trying her best to appear strong once again. I nodded and accepted.

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at a small restaurant at the heart of world bank estate. We had a quick meal before heading to her building site where she did a brief supervision before taking me to her new house….

“Finally we are home” she smiled sweetly as we walked into the sitting room. I looked around, nodding with satisfaction.
“so what do you have to say about the house?” she asked curiously while i smiled and shrugged.

“Your house is just superb, it’s small but well shaped and beautiful. I wish the house is mine, seriously” i answered. She laughed, shook her head and stared at me intently.
“thanks so much for giving me all your time today. You don’t know how happy you made me with it” she said seriously, drawing close to me in a romantic fashion. She held my shoulders, and brought her lips closer to mine as if she was about kissing me.

“i hope you have totally forgiven me over the little fights we had in the past?” she asked quietly. I nodded instantly, breathing deeply.

“what happened between us in the past is now a thing of the past. I’m equally sorry for taking you for a ride” i apologized seriously. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
“i hope when i finally lose my children, you will be there for me?” she asked curiously.
“of course, i will always be by your side” i promised.

“hold my heart and promise me you will be by my side” She demanded. I instantly swallowed hard, resting my eyes on her chest, and hesitating to go on with her request. She quickly drew back a little, grabbed my right hand and placed it on her chest, repeating her demand once again.
“promise me” she begged.
“i swear that i will always be by your side as a friend” i vowed softly. She breathed deeply and smiled at me with bright eyes filled with hope.

“Thank you Val. Thank you” she muttered passionately, brought her lips forward and pecked me….
