🤷 Tears Of A Helpless Woman Chapter TWENTY FOUR:
“Yes madam how can I help you?” The gate man asked as I pulled over. He was new and It was my first time seeing him.
“Halo.. I would like to see the Martin’s” I said.
“Oh sorry madam they moved out” the man said.
“Moved out? When and how?.. Any details about their whereabouts?” I asked.
“No unfortunately mum I have absolutely no idea” he said.
I wasn’t sure if the house belonged to the Martins, so I asked to see the people occupying the house. I truly hoped it belonged to the Martin’s then they would definitely know and assist me
After knocking, a fine looking lady stepped out and she introduced herself as Monica.
“My name is Mwansa, I am looking for Mr and Mrs Martin’s but I hear they moved out. Would you know their whereabouts?” I asked.
“Let me call my sister, she is the owner of the house”. The lady said.
A woman came out shortly holding a baby.
” how are you dear? I’m told you want to know about the Martins. She said.
“Yes madam” I replied.
“Unfortunately mum the Martins travelled to the United states. They sold us this house” the woman said.
“How long ago was that?” I asked.
“Almost a year ago, about 11months” she said.
I knew Atusaye must have remained because I saw him about 4months earlier. But where was he?” I thought.
When I drove home I was devastated. How come Atusaye did not mention that the Martins had shifted when I saw him?. It really didn’t make sense.
Unfortunately I had lost his number, but why didn’t he ever call me when I had also given him my number. Many thoughts crossed my mind but I refused to make any more conclusions like in the past. I didn’t want to think he had moved on. He had to be there waiting for me somewhere.
I didn’t know where he would go in his free time or who he was found with.
################
It had been a week and two days since I visited the Martins former home. The devastation I had was too much especially knowing that there’s nothing I could do. I searched for him on Facebook and Instagram to no avail. My heart felt pained. I had been pending the book launch for a while until I finally decided to do it. There was nothing I was waiting for.
I hoped the book launch would accord me the chance to see him, maybe he would hear about it and decide to show up.
I had planned really well for the launch and I made sure a lot off publicity was done.
The day of the book launch was amazing with a number of stores showing interest in stocking my book, I managed to schedule a lot of meetings and also got the chance to speak to a lot of people. Media companies showed keen interest in turning the novel in to a movie.
Everything seemed promising except the one thing I wanted the most, Atusaye.
################
It had been a lonely one month without seeing Atusaye, I managed to sign a good contract to create a film out of my novel and I got working on that. It kept me busy as i was ever on set. The director felt there was no better person than myself to play the main character.
With so much achievement I still longed for my Atu day in and day out. Nothing and no one could replace him. At least even if i would never be with him all I needed was closure for me to move on.
##############
One day as I was leaving the movie set to go home, I saw Stella. I hooted and gave her signs to come to the car park where I was going to park.
“Stella how are you?” I asked
Stella was intimated by my appearance but she equally didn’t look bad.
“I’m fine boyi I can see a lot has gone right with you, I’m driving too. I just parked somewhere so I could move around” she said.
“Oh we thank God for that”. I said
“The Martin’s.. How are they?” I asked while pretending like I did not know a thing
“You’re not aware?. They left for the States. Joy equally joined them but Clara is married” she said.
“Oh that’s nice…” I responded.
I was waiting for her to mention Atusaye because if I went ahead and asked she wouldn’t help me.
“By the way Atusaye and I have been going strong, put us in your prayers I’m sure will soon tie the knot”. She said.
” wow really?.. Awwww am so happy for you” I said as I hugged her.
That was a clear sign of hypocrisy, I would never be happy to hear such news. But I knew she was lying, it was funny how even after so long Stella viewed me as a threat when it came to Atusaye
“A lot of good things have happened to me too, I’m actually engaged and will be wedding this month end” I lied.
“Really??? Wow…” She said in excitement.
“Give me your number. You guys should come for lunch at my house.” I said.
Quickly a thought crossed my mind and I hoped this plan would work as I bit my tongue
“Boyi you’ve actually done well ala my battery has drained I need to make a call” I said.
“Oh no problem sure you can” she said as she handed me the phone.
I pretended to be typing a number when I quickly did a search and I found Atusaye’s number. My mind was quick at mastering and it quickly picked the number. I got my handbag and removed a note pad where I wrote the number and shortly wrote down my number.
“Its not going through but here mama you can call me on this line” I said as I handed her the small piece of paper that had my number.
“Thanks love will be in touch” she said before walking away.
I quickly got my phone and dialed Atusaye’s number, it wasn’t long before the call was picked up.
“Atusaye on the line who am I speaking to?” The voice said.
“Its…..me…..
mwansa” I stammered.
“Mwansa… Where are you?” He asked me.
“Are you married?” I asked blankly.
“Mwansa where are you?” He asked again.
“Am at central park in town” I replied.
“Am 10minutes away… Wait for me right now am coming. He said.
I didn’t know whether it was good or bad but I waited patiently and I saw his range Rover pull over.
” I quickly ran to his car as he walked out. His eyes looking very emotional
“A friend told me, is it true?” He asked me.
“Mwansa is it true you did not get married”
Tears quickly ran down my face as as I looked at him helplessly.
“If you have someone already its fine I will understand” I said as I cried.
“Oh look at you.. My heart has and will always have one woman. I love you Mwansa and I have failed to move on.”
Atusaye hugged me really tight as tears fell down my cheeks.
“I never stopped believing Mwansa, I never did. I knew if its meant to be it would be” he said as he held me tight.
I cried so bad and now Atusaye also started shedding tears.
“My love finally.. Mwansa my love finally” he said calmly as he rubbed my back
See not even California, Paris, Vegas or Italy can stop real love.
