Chapter 18: There Comes A time For GoodBye

Listening to the sound of the rain that didn't stop falling all the morning, this was just one of those quiet days at work, which can be relevant sometimes, no stress, no worries, just a peaceful feeling, my life is changing, a new chapter has begun.

I woke up in my new bedroom, feeling like a new born baby or some sort of princess, just nimble, took my breakfast with Martha, as always she was kind and funny. For so long, I took my breakfasts alone, but I no longer have to, and will.

My life suddenly gets better when everything had fallen apart, when I thought I can no longer smile, that tears are my new friends and companions, when I thought the days that are coming will be hard because I will have to establish a new life, to build a new home all alone, Allah have send me Martha to make things easier,brighter. Everything is better with a company and two is better than one.

It's true that there are still many things that are not solved yet, and I know I will face new challenges in the future, yet I know for sure that Allah will always help me, that Allah won't abandon me, never did .

I know that I can always count on Martha, she's very supportive lady, she helped me much and I can never forget what she did to me, when I need a someone to hold me, she was there, she was there to catch me. And finally to my surprise, I never thought or imagined that he, the cold beast will ever help me without asking for anything in return, I guess you can never know a person, know who he truly is, we all see that image, we all build the image we want of a person, we don't take time to know if we're true in our judgement or not, we don't think that this person is perhaps more than that or has his own story, we don't really look to find out what is going on inside that person, we just rush to critics .

-Ahmmm, she caught, someone is really lost in her thoughts.

I frowned in surprise to see Clara standing in front of me, when our eyes met, we smiled in complicity then she said:

-It's lunch time, C'mon, there is so much of things you have to tell me, too much to catch up with. She stopped talking and stood watching me getting ready slowly

-C'mon Missy, we don't have all day. She hinted.

-Missy ? I asked, surprised cause I still haven't told her a thing.

-Yeah, you think I didn't notice the disappearance of your wedding ring, she stated then added : I guess Mr.Watson was right from the beginning when he called you Miss, he always saw that you do want to be a Missy again, she laughed first, then I followed her, we both laugh so hard for a while until I noticed that some co-workers were staring at us, so I took my handbag and we left still giggling..

****************

-Wow !! She exclaimed. Many things have happened and I have no clue about it, why didn't you just call me ?

-I don't know, I guess I just didn't want to bother you, I didn't feel like talking neither and I wasn't much thinking straight.

-Clearly you weren't, since you called your boss at night to help you, It's so unprofessional of you Missy, she joked.

-You're not much helping me Clara, besides what were my other options ?

-Seriously, I don't know what I would have done if I were in your position, she sighed, then continued : you seem to be hanging out very well , how are you doing ?

-It's all absurd to me right now, it's like I'm still in some sort of denial, I think back of everything that have happened and sometimes I find it hard to believe it.
