She couldn't get hold of Theo, and it was making her worry. "Hi, Tita. I don't know why we keep missing each other's calls. I just want to let you know that the launch of the new clothing line got delayed, so I have to stay later. I'm really sorry." Tina paused, "Anyway, I could use your help right now. I have some questions. Something happened. Can you call me as soon as you can?"

"What about Sule?" "Who is that?" "The mechanic you came with to take my car?" "Oh that guy...he is alright...in fact he is doing very well...but you won't be seeing him for a while" I started to reply but had to be silent as strange eyes started the car and the asthmatic wheezing of the engine drowned my thoughts for a moment. But as he put the car in gear I asked, "where is he?" “That's classified" he slowed down then brought a cigarette from his breast pocket which he lit before driving on again.

“And what time is it now?” “Nine.” “Why, pray tell, are you an hour late?” “Like I said on my voicemail, a pipe burst and flooded my apartment.” “But no one’s injured? You were able to get here without any problems?” “Yes, and yes.” “So, why exactly did you decide to waste my time by making me wait?” “I thought that if I called first—”

He was sitting at the edge of the bed, an open laptop on his lap and his cell phone to his ear. “My question is, why did you wait until now to tell me?” He shouted. “I don't care about time difference! Something goes wrong, you phone me immediately.” I sat up on the bed and tied up my hair. “And it's simple, the delivering truck breaks down, send another one to take the goods and deliver. Why must we wait for the same one to get fixed as if we only have one? Now I have to get through a bloody two pages long email of BMW complaining that their delivery is late.”

But it turns out to be something different. I spent most of my time trying to figure out what had happened. Notwithstanding, I can as well, get all the answers to my questions. I decided. "You have been quiet ever since. Have you run out of words?" He asked. I cleared my throat."Not really!" I replied. "Then why are you delaying to reply to my statement?". He asked. "Well Actually, I wasn't really delaying but was having a lot of thoughts in my mind." I replied. The guard shook his head. “I see!" He exclaimed.

It’s not respectful, but it is common. Another explanation could be poor time management or a lack of consideration. For some, other priorities work, friends, distractions take over, and they fail to recognize how their silence affects someone else. In this case, it’s less about intention and more about carelessness. Still, the impact on you is the same: you were left waiting without clarity. There’s also the possibility that something genuinely unexpected came up an emergency, a sudden obligation, or even a personal issue that made it difficult for him to respond.

To be used as a pawn against me. I watch on in trepidation, waiting for something to happen. I remain unmoving, terrified of a future where Tomás doesn't wake up. "¿Que esta pasando? ¿Por qué tarda tanto?" What's going on? Why's it taking so long? I ask, no longer able to remain calm. I thought once the doctor had turned off the machines, Tomás would wake up. So why hasn't he?

********* I am sorry for the delay in my upload, I am having health issues which I hope I will soon get over, so please bear with me in the meantime. Let me know your opinion and get the feeling I am getting through to someone with my book. Thanks

Chapter 37 Tessa Ford ~•~ The flight was delayed! No, it wasn’t delayed. My flight wasn’t delayed, but didn’t let me board the plane. At the same time, they refused to give me any logical explanation as to why I was being held back. I was ranting but nobody was listening to me. I just couldn’t understand what the problem was and why it was only with me. They just asked me to calm down and would give me an explanation soon. I didn’t have time!

Tanya was slightly disappointed. “Is that so? But… he said that he’s always busy. However, he would always reply to my messages in around ten minutes no matter how late I messaged him. If he doesn’t care for me, certainly he wouldn’t be replying to my messages. He’s always like that. Maybe he’s just slow in getting close to people. Don’t demotivate me. I just want to meet him and treat him to a meal since I’m quite curious about him.”
