The story of Saric (A Tale of love and Suspense - Page 34/53

“Why didn’t you just tell her the truth” “What for Daniel, besides she is happily married with a son so telling her the truth wasn’t going to be the best” Saric stated. “Okay fine, don’t you think they will hate you and especially Vanessa is going to see you as an ungrateful and a greedy guy” he further added. “It better she thought that besides I don’t want her feeling guilty. Anyways have you gotten in touch with them,” he asked after a brief pause. “Yes and they will be expecting us tomorrow. But …” “But nothing Daniel, come on no more please,” he pleads. Daniel nods. The following day, Daniel and Saric arrives at their business meeting, everybody was waiting for them. They got out of the car and he stood and saw the bold inscription of the company’s name AJW groups of companies (headquarters). He smiled and they walked in. they were sent to the conference room. When he stepped in, everybody’s eye were on them, Vanessa couldn’t believe what she just saw, she controlled herself and the meeting began, Saric and Daniel have invested in AJW groups of companies and this meeting was an introduction meeting, they talked for a while then the meeting came to a close. Vanessa wanted desperately to stay away from him and when the meeting ended she was very happy, she excused herself and went into her office. Saric wanted to talk to her and hold her in his arms and be with her but now she is somebody else wife, it was better to stay away from someone’s wife. Vanessa got to her office and phones her friends; she met them at their usual spot. Vanessa was restless when her friends got there. They were scared because she sounded worried on the phone. “What is it Vanessa? You are scaring us already, please tell us.” Tracy pleaded. “Did you know Saric has returned to the country? I mean how, when and why come here now?” she asked the questions in successions. “Please Vanessa you need to calm down; I didn’t know he still has an effect on you that much?” Derby asked a little worried, “Yes he still has an effect on me, I hate him for everything he has done to me, and after everything he still has no shame to come back.” She couldn’t stop talking, she was very furious and her friends let her say everything so she can get rid of all the pain she has built inside her. They sat with her for a while until they left for home. When Vanessa got home, she went straight to bed. She didn’t want anybody to see how miserable she felt. She told everybody who cares to listen in fact she even told herself that all she felt for him was hate, but who is she lying to, she is still madly in love with him. “How can I get all this love I feel for him out of my system, I should hate him not wanting to see him, after all he dump me and left me all alone? I have married to a wonderful man, why can’t I just fall in love with him.” She cried herself to bed. Kenneth has travelled for a 2 weeks conference in South Africa so she didn’t bother to hide her tears like she did anytime she remembers Saric and the wonderful moments. She has to pretend to be happy and pretend to love him, what a pain, “May be it my punishment for not loving my husband, the pain is too much.” She cried and cried until she release she slept in her dress without changing her clothes or taking shower either.
