Treachery Affair

Two weeks on

Jayden is standing at the balcony of his room, staring into space and lost in thoughts. He has been trying to figure out what’s triggering Harley’s attitude, but the more he tries to, the more difficult it seems to point out. She’s getting worse by the day, and it’s driving him to the extreme of craziness. Even if he had done anything wrong to her, confronting him would’ve been the best thing to do, why would she think of giving him the silenft treatment and making him feel bad? It’s hurting him already, and he’s just trying to control himself.

“Jay… Can we talk?” That’s Harley’s voice. She had just walked inside his room and gone to the balcony to find him since he wasn’t in his room. She has a sad look on her face, the look that shows that she’s hiding something from Jay, and she’s not just ready to talk about what’s bothering her.

“Harley…” He pauses, turning around to face her. His heart wrenches at the look on her face, he’s disturbed seeing her so sad, but knowing that he can’t get anything from her no matter how he tries to convince her to talk, he decides not to push it. He tries to touch her, but she steps away from him, hanging his hand in the air, and he sighs briefly.

“What’s going on, Harley? Why do I suddenly disgusts you? You’ve been avoiding me and won’t even talk to me again, what’s going on?” He finally asks frustratingly. He has been trying to keep up with this, but it’s not funny anymore. It’s hurting him already that his woman is giving him such treatment.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I hate you, Jayden! You snatched my family away from me, how are you not supposed to disgust me?” She so much wants to scream those words at his face and make him realize what he did, but he tries so hard to control herself. That’s not the best thing to do.

“Can you talk to me, please? This silent treatment is killing me already, do you want me to die before you realize that? Just tell me what’s bothering you, tell me where I’ve wronged you, and I promise to do whatever it’ll take me to get you to forgive me. You’re pregnant, babe… You shouldn’t be staying angry, just speak up and let’s sort this out. I don’t want you to be sad…” He tries to touch her hand, but she steps away from him again, and he sighs.

“I need a break…” She finally speaks up, and he narrow his eyes.

“What do you mean?” He asks confusingly, hoping that it’s not what he’s thinking, because he won’t let that happen. Leaving his house is as good as going back to Samir, and there’s no way he’ll allow her go anywhere, not to talk of going with his unborn child.

“I need break from you, Jay. I don’t want to see you for now, your presence disgusts me and makes me sick, I don’t want to see you!” He watches tears rolls down her cheeks, and he slowly clenches his fists. His words touches the dept of his heart and stirs up anger in him, but getting mad at her is the last thing on his mind.

“Why?” Is all he can say. He doesn’t want to push himself to talk much, knowing that he may get angry.

“Do you want to know why? Because I hate you, Jay! I can’t stand you! You disgust me, that’s why I want to leave. I can’t do this anymore!” She breaks down in tears.

“Why? Can you at least tell me what I did? You’re keeping me in the dark and hurting yourself, why are you doing this?” He finally pulls her into his arms, hugging her tightly even if she keeps trying to get off his grasp.

“Don’t move, you might hurt the baby,” he whispers, kissing her hair and stroking it. He doesn’t know why she’s doing this, but trying to know now, is not the best thing to do. She just needs to be comforted, and that’s what he’s trying to do now.

“Let go of me! I hate you!” She cries bitterly, and he sighs.

“I’m sorry, OK?” He whispers to her, even if he have no idea why she’s mad at him…

Richmond Hill

After getting a report from the doctor concerning my mom’s health, I finally drive to the nearest mall, to get what Nelson had requested for.

The drive to the mall isn’t stressful, since it’s close to the hospital. Stepping into the beautiful mall, I head straight to the section where the chocolates are kept. Running my eyes through the different brand of chocolates, I sigh frustratingly. I have no idea the one he loves eating, and now that he just recovered from illness, I’m sure his taste must’ve changed and he may want something else now.

Bringing out my phone from my pocket, I scroll through it and once I get to Clara’s number, I hit the dial button and wait patiently for her to pick up and after what seem like forever, she finally answers the call.

“Hey! Can you please help me ask Nelson the chocolate he would love to take? I’m at the mall and I have no idea what to buy. There are many of them here and I have no idea about the one he’ll like to have,” I explain to her.

“Nelson is asleep already. Just buy anyone you think he’ll like. I don’t want to wake him up,” she ends the call afterwards, and I sigh briefly. Gosh! How am I supposed to go about this now? I can’t possibly buy anyone I see , right? What if he ends up telling me that he doesn’t like it?

“Excuse me, please…” A feminine voice speaks up behind me. Tilting my head to look at her, my mouth drops open in shock at the sight that welcomes me…
