LOVE TRAIN: THE HEART OF A WOMAN

Kelvin’s story

As Lydia drove away with Stella. I breathed deeply and dialled Lilian’s number.

“she just left with her friend. She’s gone” i informed her.

“hmmm that’s cool huh. Hope you are still coming over?” she asked,

“yea” i answered, hung up and walked into my apartment.

I was a bit relieved to see Stella leave but i equally was scared because a big girl like her was capable of anything. Moreover she left with no just cause to be with her friend, which was kind of suspicious.

“well i know i tried to make her happy” i said to myself. my mind flashing back to how it all started.

Stella truly turned my world around, bringing me out of poverty to a life of happiness and i appreciated everything but to be sincere i was very scared of making her my wife because she was just a lady with strong spirit. She was very fond of commanding respect and equally behaved sometimes as if i was her junior brother while in return i always behaved myself in her presence. Always conscious of everything whenever i was with her..

Yes I behaved like a woman whenever we were together while she behaved like a man always making all the decisions. But no matter her behaviour she was very generous and deeply in love with me and i owed her quite a lot which was why i proposed to her out of gratitude….

Lilian on the other hand was very friendly, playful and extremely pleasant to be with. She was my close friend, colleague and mate. We shared almost everything together that people soon began thinking that we were having a relationship which i would have loved but stella was in the way and it really wasn’t in me to cheat on a woman who changed my life, even though my feelings for her reduced by each passing day.

I remained committed to Stella. I had no choice than to continue loving her, which was why i felt so bad that she could decide to move over to her friend’s house and also get a new house without discussing it with me. It made me snap which i very much regretted…..

So watching her leave that fateful saturday left a huge mark on me but i had no choice than to push away my feelings, freshen up and head over to Lilian’s house to finish a project report which we were to submit on monday.

I had a very lucrative but demanding job that gave me no time to rest and enjoy the money i was making daily…
