Seducing My Heartless Husband

” Mommy, am leaving.” Martina announced.

” You just got back, why are you leaving again?” Her mother asked puzzled.

” Eer.” Martina hesitated but that moment of hesitation brought countless theories to her mother’s head.

” Haha! I understand, go ahead and don’t forget to bring him back so that mommy can see him.” Her mother said happily sending a subtle wink to her daughter.

Martina was confused now.” Huh! What do you mean?” She asked but her mother interpreted everything differently.

” Oh come on, no need to be shy now. Hehehe go ahead.” Her mother said turning to continue what she was doing earlier.

Martina stood dumbfounded, wondering why her mother was behaving weirdly all of a sudden. Why was she speaking in parables? But she put that thought at the back of her mind. Nevermind, as Long as she’s happy. Martina thought.

She turned to go away but remembered something,” Guess who I met with mother?” She said successfully garnering the attention of her mother.

” And who could that be?” He mother asked, eager for some gossip. Was her daughter finally opening up about her secret crush from the airport?

” Mr Santos.. I mean Marina’s daddy.” She was excited but upon calling him Marina’s daddy, her voice trembled.

That piece of revelation brought excitement and fear on her mother’s face.

” He is your father as well.” Her mother hid her excitement and reprimanded her daughter.

” Yeah but he doesn’t know of my existence. He mistook me for my twin sister.” Martina stated blandly. She was good at hiding her true emotions.

” It’s only logical, you two girls look exactly the same. Anybody would mistake the two of you.” Her mother consoled her.

” He bought me my favourite vanilla yoghurt.” She said beaming happily. ” He was buying some grapes and it happened we took the same bunch, it was the only remaining one. I wanted to get them for you, am sorry.” Martina narrated.

” G.. grapes?” He mother asked stuttering while tears glistened in her eyes. She can still remember how in the past he never liked grapes. After spending time with her, he started liking whatever she liked. It seems that she was still in his heart.

” Yes.. are you alright Mom?” Concern was deeply laced in Martina’s voice. She could tell that there was a change of expression on her mother’s countenance the moment she mentioned her father buying grapes. Was there a special relationship

between grapes and her parents? She pondered.

” Yes dear, I am alright. You can leave, don’t be late for your date.” Her mother said changing the subject and trying to push her daughter away. She was getting emotional, she couldn’t let her daughter see her this way.

Martina could see that her mother was trying to push her away. But why? She didn’t understand. Since she had to accompany Terry for now, she could only leave. She decided to talk later about that matter with her Mom.

Just when she was starting to Walk away, her cellphone rung.

” That must be my friend, am leaving Mom. Don’t stay out for Long and take care of yourself.” Martina said and walked away hastily. Arriving at the gate, she saw Terry’s car parked there, she walked towards the car, knocked on the window and the door was immediately opened. She stepped in and the two left.

Martina’s Mom watched as her daughter left. She hurried to the house and after five minutes, she too Left the house in a hurry. She boarded a taxi.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

After riding for almost thirty minutes, the cab arrived at a house in the suburbs. It was a small apartment, sorrounded by a garden of flowers. From the look of things, the house had been well taken care of in the past decades.

After paying for the taxi, she walked to the house. Everything seemed the same. It had been so many years, yet everything remained untouched. She looked at the big Cypress tree they had planted together, a symbol of the existence of their Love. Now, it was big. The garden was still the same. The flowers were well taken care of, the hedge’s were neatly trimmed and the only peach tree they had nursed back to health after buying this small house was now blooming, giving the area a other worldly beauty.

She couldn’t control the tears that had pooled in her eyes. She let them flow down, Washing away her sorrows for the last two decades. The grievances she had suffered was something she wanted to bear and forget but just the sight of this place evoked deep feelings making her wanna Just cry out all of them.

This was the place he confessed his love to her. In the midst of a garden, covered with blooming flowers, he had asked her to give him a chance, a chance to always make her happy. She had accepted because that was the man her heart beat for. He was the man who had captured her soul, heart, body and mind.

With the wind blowing and the evening sun as their witness, they had made a promise to forever be together and grow old together. They had vowed to be each other’s happiness but alas! Life had different plans for them.

The same Year they were separated, never to see each other again. It had been More than two decades, but she could still feel what sfe felt for him back in the years. Time had passed, but her love for him kept increasing. She was so absorbed in her memories that she did not feel the presence of another person.
