DAVID
As expected, she wasn’t at all happy to see me. She welcomed me by shutting the door on my face.
What can I do to possibly make her hear me out? She looks so angry.
I’m doing this all because of Ana.
I Breathe hard and tapped continously on the door.
“Please Alicia, let me in and just hear me out okay. I promise I won’t take long”
I tapped again and again.
“Alicia please.” It came as a plea repeatedly from my lips.
“I’m sorry okay. I know I shouldn’t have done what I did. Even though you did wrong. I shouldn’t have gone to that extent.
But the truth is, I had reported the case to the boss while you were still locked up. Even before Ana got discharged from the hospital. I didn’t know it’ll result to this I swear.
So please, can you just let me in and hear me out… I won’t take much of your time”
I said Alot trying to plead her into seeing reasons.
I tapped again and again. Yet no answer.
ALICIA
I don’t want to face him. Not now. I don’t feel okay. I am so angry at myself. I don’t even think I can stand him.
I stood by the door listening to bits of what he was saying as tears trickled down from my eyes.
I don’t even know how to blame this guy. I don’t …
I’m just confused.
It’s my fault anyway. All this happened because of me. I caused everything for myself.
If I hadn’t gotten so obsessed with a man , all this wouldn’t have been this way. Maybe I’d still be Happy with Oscar.. instead of Nora.
Now see where my obsession has left me. With nothing!
Nothing at all to hold on to.
I’m the loser at the end of it all.
I stood firm at the door pouring out tears till I could no longer hear David’s faint voice.
I peered my ear hard against the door but still,…
Is he gone??
My heart skipped in suspense.
What if he has something important to say to me?
I should just give him a listening ear. Rather than break round circles.
With that, I slowly opened the door.
“Hey”
I called out to him almost in a whisper.
He was already on his way to his car.
Though my voice was low, he was able to hear me call him.
He turned swiftly towards me.
I gave a slight nod. He then smiled a little and walked back to the doors entrance … Where I let him in.

MIKE
I sat tiredly on the couch as I fixed my gaze on the wide TV screen which was playing before me.
I wasn’t really myself. I haven’t been myself at all. And the reason is obvious.
“Mike… Mike…” Dan called out my name as he walked briskly over to where I sat. I raised my head up to him and saw a tensed mood.
“What?” I drawled out with a sigh… Which showed he was disturbing my little quiet.
He threw a white neatly wrapped paper on me. Nobody needed to tell me what it is.
He has seen it.
I picked the sheet from my body placed it on the sofa and then buried my face between my palms.
“When are you planning on telling me bro??” He arched in a questioning way.
I exhaled sharply.
“I was confused okay. I was gonna tell you … ” I tried to explain.
“Did you decline or accept??” I stared speechlessly at him.
Did I decline??? It’s a good offer. A transfer letter from the hospital to the headquarter outside town.
How can I decline such.?
” I accepted bro. It’s a great change in my life” I admitted truthfully.. even if my mind rallied with so many thoughts.
He took a seat beside me and nodded in agreement.
“Yeah.. I agree with you. It’s a good offer. But to be sincere I’m gonna miss you” he pouted, making him look more like a chicken.
” come off it Man” I hit him playfully on his shoulder making him laugh a little
‘i m really happy for you”…he added.
“Thanks Man ”
“So when do you intend to leave?”
“Next week or maybe weekend or something. But It’ll be very soon. I know” I added with a small smile.
“I hope you’re good”
“Yeah” I nodded.
For a truth, I’M far from good.
I haven’t heard from Ana for weeks now and I’m not myself. She didn’t honour the date.. she didn’t call to tell me her reasons.. she just cut off link. Maybe it’s best I let go.
Maybe she’s not really the one meant for me. But I love her so much. So much.
I just can’t force things, can I?
Maybe leaving town will be for a good purpose after all.
Maybe she wasn’t meant to be mine ?

ALICIA
“I know you’ve forgiven me.. and I’m no more angry with anyone.
But I don’t need your help with anything.
Let me pick my broken pieces myself.
I don’t blame anyone for anything. I blame myself rather. So please David, don’t make up for anything.
Just do me a favor and stay away from me. The more I see you, the more I hate myself for loving you”
I stated clearly,.. forcing my self not to lose the tears which threatened to fall.
I’ve listened to his plea and I know he’s genuine.
But I don’t want any form of help from him. I don’t want anything that’ll attached him to me henceforth.
“Please Alicia… Let me make up for my wrong..”
“No David. You did no wrong … My word still stands. I don’t want any help from people I want to avoid.
I want things my way… I want to be Faraway from this place. I wanna go somewhere far…
To start afresh.. and be myself…
Thanks I need no one’s help to do that. There’s nothing left for me here in Texas.
I need a new place to call a home…” I sadly spoke out to him.. this time, letting the tears break freely from my eyes.
“Just go please…” I added trying to catch my teary breathe.
“Just go” I couldn’t stare straight to his face.
I just want him to go. To leave my presence or I might break more than this.
“Okay.” He said under his breath as he slowly got up and walked out.
Making me drown more in my tears.
