CHAPTER 34

  Darrel Pov

  I like Edna a lot and can't even help it.

  I've been trying to convince myself that I'm not but my heart says a different thing.

  Anytime I see Edna it makes me realize that I'm only in denial.

  Edna is a very beautiful lady and every young man would be lucky to be with her.

  I'm so lucky to have Edna had my wife but I still haven't forgotten her for what she did to me before she got banished from the park"

  Anytime I remember what she made me go though during that period it makes me so mad at her.

  I tried my best but I still can't forgive her and I'm as much as I'm trying to forgive her. She always ends up doing things that'll make me even more mad at her.

  My mom complained about her a lot and I scolded her for that but she isn't willing to change.

  I married her because I didn't know about her identity earlier.

  If I did I would never have gotten married to her, I would have opposed the wedding.

  Now I'm stuck with her and I have no other option than to accept her as my wife.

  I would make sure she felt the exact pain she made me go through when she left my heart broken.

  She left my heart shattered and I haven't been able to love anyone genuinely.

  I don't even know what to do anymore because I care for her and I still have a soft spot for her even though she has hurt me.

  I had just left Edna's room and from the way she looked at me with those pretty eyes of hers was so charming.

  Edna has always had a pretty face that made it difficult for me to resist her.

  I could tell from the look from Edna's face that she was trying to avoid me.

  She was trying so much to avoid having eye contact with me.

  Edna is just so cut to watch.

  I was lost in thought for a moment. I kept on thinking about Edna.

  After a while I got back to my senses and realized that I had zoned out for a moment.

  "Oh my goodness Darrel, come back to your senses" I muttered to myself.

  "Why would I be thinking about someone who hurt me and didn't think about my feelings?" I thought to myself.

  I need to put myself together so that I won't let my emotions get the better of me.

  I needed to distract myself by getting something to do.

  I picked up my phone and decided to go through my messages.

  The first message that popped out on my phone was a message from one of my business partners.

  He was asking me how my honeymoon is going and how my wife is doing.

  My friend Pascal also got married a few weeks before I did and he just got back from his honeymoon with his wife.

  He initially suggested a good place for me and Edna to have our honeymoon but I told him not to bother because I had another place in mind.

  I opened the message and didn't know what exactly to reply to Pascal.

  I was just about to respond to him when my phone started to ring.

  And it was Pascal that was on the line.

  "Hello" I said immediately I picked this call.

  "Hello Darrel," he said.

  "How are you and your wife doing?" He asked me nicely.

  "We are both fine and you?" I replied.

  "That's good to hear, my wife and I are both fine"

  "Are you and your wife back from your honeymoon already?"

  "Yes we are"

  "So are back to work already? I'm asking because there's a contract I want us to go through together"

  "Not yet back I'll be back to work fully by next week"

  "Okay not a bad time though so when you are ready just inform so that we can discuss about the contract together"

  "Okay Darrel, you are talking so much about the company aren't you at your honeymoon with your wife?"

  I was quiet because he had already asked me before he called and I didn't reply.

  "Hello Darrel can you hear me?" He asked because he noticed I wasn't responding.

  "Darrel are you still on the line?"

  Network was good so I couldn't lie that it was network problem.

  "Yes I am" I replied.

  "So hope are you enjoying your honeymoon with your wife?"

  "I forgot to ask you what country did you later decided on your honeymoon?"

  Pascal has sent me a list of good places for honeymoon for me to decide the one I and Edna would prefer but I wasn't interested so I never went through the list he sent.

  "We haven't gone for my honeymoon yet" I told Pascal because I don't want to lie to him.

  "Oh why?" He asked me.

  "We had a little issue with my passport but it has been resolved now so we'll be going for our honeymoon soon tomorrow or next" I lied.

  "Okay, please do women don't like their honeymoon to be delayed" he said jokingly.

  "Yes I know"

  "I your wife there? Please can you give her the phone let me greet her?" Pascal asked nicely.

  "You know I haven't met your wife and I wasn't able to come for your wedding because I wasn't in the country" he added giving reasons why he wanted to say hi to my wife.

  "Oh… my wife… is slee…ping" I stuttered because I was trying to make up lie.

  "She sleeping?"

  "Yes she is"

  "You know the stress from last night and she hasn't had a good sleep for a while now"

  "I understand, just say hi to her for me when she wakes up"

  "Okay I will and you also tell your wife that I sent my greetings to her as well"

  "Yes I will, do have a great day"

  "You too" I said as I ended the call.

  I took a deep breath as soon as I ended the call.

  It seems like the honeymoon is so important to everyone except for me and Edna.

  Maybe Edna is interested but as refused to admit because I overheard her dad tell her about a good place for honeymoon but I wasn't interested so I didn't pay attention to them.

  I just have to keep lying to everyone that's calling to ask about how my honeymoon is going.

  I think I'll be left with no other choice than for Edna and I to go for our honeymoon.

  I wasn't ready to be in the same space with Edna alone.

  We aren't even staying in the same room. I had to arrange for a separate room for Edna.

  I think the honeymoon will be a better option for Edna and I to get used to being in the same space together.

  I already told her to come to my room. Maybe when she does I'll have to have a conversation with her.

  ****

  It was evening already and I didn't realized how the day went so fast because I was carried away with work.

  "Good evening sir, dinner is ready" A female voice from the door said nicely.

  I knew it was dinner time so that was one of the maids coming to remind me to come downstairs and have my dinner.

  I wrapped up what I was doing and went straight downstairs to have my dinner because I didn't want to keep everyone waiting.

  I got to the dining table and noticed that Edna hadn't come down yet.

  Dinner was served and I noticed that there was no table set for Edna.

  "Where is Edna? Isn't she coming down for dinner?" I asked with a curious look on my face.

  "She isn't coming down for dinner sir, so she said she would prefer to have her dinner in her room" the maid dishing the meal said.

  It wasn't a bad idea for her to choose to have dinner in her room because it will be awkward for us to eat at the same table.

  "Thank goodness she knows her place in this house and decided to eat alone" Becky said with a happy look on her face.

  "I can't even imagine eating on the same table with a stinking maid like her," Becky added.

  "I hope you are enjoying your dinner Darrell?" She asked me nicely.

  "Yes," I replied, nodding my head.

  "This is so delicious so enjoy you meal my dear" Becky said as she placed her hand on me with smiles on her face.

  The dinner was so delicious.

  I was done having breakfast and was ready to go back to my room

  "You are going to bed already?"

  "Yes mom" I replied with a smile on my face.

  "I thought we were going to have a littler chat together before you go to bed"

  "No mom we can have our little chat tomorrow"

  "Okay Darrel goodnight" I said to my mom.

  "Goodnight" I said to Becky and walked to my room.
