I later spoke with Anita, I told her about my break up with Richard and how difficult it has been for me.I also asked her about the earrings and how the information concerning my boss friend got to Richard after Jojo told her about it.Anita denied of ever getting such information from Jojo, Anita said she did not borrow any ear rings from her either.“Since you are not the one…then who else? Jojo told me that…Anita quickly interrupted me.“Forget about whatever Jojo said to you Becca, or you can still choose to believe her if you want. The last time I saw Jojo has being over two weeks, we had a quarreled over something and I stopped going to her place ever since and focused on my life. She did not say anything to me concerning your boss or his friend and she cannot even tell me because I detest her. I know you will believe her over me, is your choice, I won’t tell you what to do Becca. Jojo wears long ear rings, I don’t… except during a party or I’m attending an event. I work from
I asked Jojo what really happened between her and Anita but she beat around and did not tell me the exact problem.Anita has been with me for the past two weeks voluntarily. She has being very helpful and we stay together every weekend or go out if we have anywhere to go. I don’t have any reason to suspect Anita and I did not want to bridge my friendship with Jojo.I have other of my friends who comes around to visit. Ella comes and sometimes Rina stop by with her little daughter to say hello.I value all my friends and don’t want to hold on to anybody’s fault.I have already let go about Richard and how he got the information and also the ear ring. I am not depending on that again.I enjoy Anita’s company and Jojo shouldn’t dictate for me on who to be friendly with all because she was not in good term with Anita. I told Jojo that whenever Anita want to leave she is free to do that. Jojo said she will stop coming to my place because of Anita and I told her to do as she pleases.Ella
With Jojo’s constant visit to the office I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. I don’t want any trouble from my boss or anyone because of Jojo. My work place is not my house where she can come and go at any time. My boss may even sanction me concerning that because he has seen Jojo more than twice with me during lunch time and also closing time.Jojo was not having time for her sugar who kept calling her but she will not pick his call all because of Mr Ohio. She will even switch off her phone whenever her sugar starts calling.I felt bad for the guy, Jojo was playing him and it was not fair. He deserves better than what Jojo was doing to him.“Jojo, don’t you think that you are hurting your man? He loves you, he asked you to marry him and you agreed…he went ahead to engage you and you collected the ring, only to remove it and kept it inside your hand bag because you saw a bigger fish. This is really bad and is sad too. Jojo laughed out at my every word which she felt has no effect
My Dad called me that afternoon to inform me that Melinda was home.“Wow, really…that’s good!That was my reply thinking that will be the only news but my Dad had something more to say.“Yes Rebecca, is really a great news because your younger sister Melinda is engaged. Yes…she came home wearing an engagement ring, it was one of the biggest news I have waited so long for. I and your mother saw the ring and it is quite expensive and fit in perfectly well on her finger. She said she wanted to surprise us and that was why she did not break the exciting news to us over the phone. Melinda really surprised us with such news. She is still as beautiful, smart and outspoken as ever. I have not met her man yet. She said he will be flying down to see us by next weekend. The news of Melinda’s engagement came unexpected. As much as I wanted to lift up joyfully for my sister, I also know what the news will mean to me, how some people will begin to see me. My Dad will remind me of what he usually

The following weekend, I was at the jewelry shop to check out an engagement rings.I just paid for my house rent and bought foodstuffs for the house.I also got a few things for myself.I decided to stop at the jewelry shop to check out the engagement ring.I walked around the place, still feeling lost in thoughts. I feel really awkward buying an engagement ring for myself but I'm left with no choice. Melinda will not allow me to breathe in peace if she doesn't get a picture of the ring.I wanted to get something expensive just to impress them but by the time I saw the price tag on each ring, I felt discouraged.Regrets crept in and I wondered how I got myself into such.How did I get into this? There was no escaping route for me.I asked the customer care if it was negotiable and the young lady said the price was fixed and no room for negotiations.I have to wait for my next paycheck, I can not spend all the money I have just to purchase a ring and go bankrupt.I saw other cheaper o
He looked at my eyes with an attractive smile on his face, i watched as his hand traveled to my empty fingers with no ring. he wanted to say something but instead he checked his wrist watch, gasped out in shock." i have a flight to catch by 7pm today, i have to go now...Becca.My blushing face suddenly turned into a sadness. I wish i can be seeing him everyday. I wonder when i will see him again if he travels this time.I couldn't hold back myself from asking him where he was traveling to.He said his brother, Klint will be doing his wedding by weekend and he has to be there.Mr. Ohio said he will only be spending two weeks with his people before returning back. He also mentioned going with his cousin who was already waiting for him.I managed to smile."Alright, congratulations to your brother. All the best sir and hope to see you safely back...i mean to...i actually wanted to say " journey mercies...I was stuttering unexpectedly.He chuckled a little at how uneasy i suddenly be
It was not easy for me to cope with both my parents’ pressure and what I just recently discover from Jojo. It was not easy to live every day at a time despite I was trying to do exactly that. Living everyday was tough but I did not want to give people something more to chew, I want to leave them clueless on what is going on in my life.As usual, I continued my work and also pretend as if I know nothing about Jojo and Richard.Crawled into my shell and became hard nut to crack for anyone. I took people as they are and did not fantasize over friendship with any.If Jojo, who was close to me, she was one of my bosom friends I don’t joke with. If she can back-stab me and still come to laugh and dine with me then no friend is worth trusting.Sometimes, while in the house or at work I will just start thinking about the whole thing that has happened to me both in the past and present, whenever I thought of it I can’t help to stop the tears from flowing.I don’t supposed to hype myself for a
