He saw the way they both held their hands and flirted with each other as they made their way home from the restaurant. They both didn't have a care in the world about any other person but themselves, he understood and had felt what he witnessed between them and it angered him more because it was the atmosphere of pure joy and love-struck aura that possessed her features and she flaunted it shamelessly.This was not the first time he had watched them, in fact since the first day he saw both of them together entering the Mall hand in hand it had become his obsession.

But it didn't deter her from shouting out of excitement whenever the situation presented itself."Congrats babe," Deborah said. "I'm really happy for you.""Show us your ring," Mia told Maya and she stretched her hands towards them and they took turns to look at the diamond-encrusted ring.

Maya stayed at the hospital for a week to get adequate treatment, a therapist had also been assigned to her to help her deal with what happened and share her pains. When her doctors felt she was okay to face the world she was released from the hospital. Maya's mother called Craig and he helped her bring her home from the hospital. She had nightmares for some days after coming home that she was scheduled for another therapy and with time the nightmares stopped.Physically Maya looked okay, but her spirit had been crushed by the ugly event. She used to be very lively and cheerful but now all she does since they came back home was to sit morosely at a dark corner and cry silently, her emotions pent up within her."What do you want for breakfast, honey." Maya's mum asked her, before going over to where her daughter was sitting staring into space. Since the incident happened two weeks ago Maya had refused to talk to anyone and only spoke when spoken to, she had literally shut the world out.
