THE ENGAGEMENT
Amelia arrived at the palace, which was filled up with a lot people. Not just ordinary people. I mean big men. She greeted them and smiled at everyone. Henderson also walked down. Everyone was happy to see him. They began the ceremony. They exchanged rings. The soft music began to play. Amelia watched as Henderson and the bride to be dance to it, they clapped as they finished dancing.
Amelia took a glass of wine, from the waiter. Henderson eyes caught her. Her dress was made of gold. Her jewelry was made of gold. Her high heel is made of gold. And her hearts too. But he wonder how a woman with a good heart, turn this way.
“But i don’t know what’s happening to her” He thought. He walked up to her. She welcomed him with a smile.
“You look good in suit” She said, with a smile. As if she hasn’t seen him on suits.
“You look gorgeous. Total amazing. I love your everything” He said, smiling.
“Thanks.It’s your day, don’t forget.” She said, smiling.
“It’s supposed to be ours. Our wedding.” He muttered, she looked at him and smiled.
“It’s doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters now is that. You getting engagement today. And soon she will be yours” She said. “Can we talk?” He muttered
“Of course. That’s what we are doing right” She replied and waved at someone, she know.
“Not here. Somewhere else” He replied, staring at her.
“Alright” She muttered they walked to a quiet place. She looked at him and smiled. “So what do you want to talk about? I don’t have much time”
“I want to talk about us. Your sudden changes towards me”
“It’s nothing to talk about. You are getting married soon” She said, He quickly shut her up with a kiss. She pushed him and gave him a slap o his cheek.
“Don’t ever do such. Or else I will call the cops and tell them that you’re trying to molest me. Like you always do. Remember what today is. Don’t make it look like a bad day for you. She said.
“Amelia what’s the meaning of this? Why are you doing this to me. Am hurt you don’t seems to care about it.”
“You’re not hurt Henderson. Stop being fake. You should be happy because you’re getting engaged. She loves you”
“You think she loves me. I’m not happy because she is not the one i want. Tell me why you are doing this”
“I don’t have anything to tell you. If she is not the one, you want. Then look for someone else.”
“You should be happy. You took my virginity and now you have someone who has being dying to have you. Am sure she is happy. Look at her.”
“Amelia i still love you. Stop this nonsense”
“Nonsense. You think it’s nonsense. Henderson it is not. Thankfully i got my kingdom. I have people to care for and if you don’t mind i will like to take my leave” She said, her lips curve with smiles. She turned to leave but he stopped her by holding her hand, she looked at him and smiled.
“Let me go”
“Amelia this is not right. Stop all this. I love you. You that. I’ve told Maya to talk you”
“We don’t have anything in common. The baby that was supposed to bring us together is gone. The bond died, the moment I lost my baby. I have to leave”
“You are making me feel bad, but you don’t seems to care about it. I know that I’d hurt you the first day you came to this palace. When I realized my mistakes I asked forgiveness. You told me that you’ve forgiven me. Why this now”
“We have no connection Henderson. Don’t you get it” She half yelled at him.
“Now i know. But trust me Amelia you will regret it. You’ll definitely regret this” He said with his eyes filled with tears.
“You will i promise you” He said with tears. She walked away and went to her, the driver opened the door. He saw Jerry. He could not call him. It’s been a while he heard from him.
“Don’t pick his calls” She muttered. He nods his head. They drove out of the palace. They arrived at her palace. He opened the door for her she came down and walked to her room. She removed her dress and walked naked to the bathroom. She turned on the shower, the cold water touched her soft skin, some minutes later she walked covered in bathe suit. She sat on the couch and poured the whiskey in the glass and sip from it. Her door opened wide. It was her best friend Maya.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Maya yelled.
“Meaning of what?” She responds back to her.
“You should learn how to knock on the door”
“Seriously you are something else. You’re hurting this man. Can’t you see it? He loves you.”
“Maybe you should get me a spec so that i can see very clearly. Please talk about something”
“He is dying silently”
“He can’t die.I mean he is getting married soon. We have to celebrate this. Have you seen where someone’s ex is so excited, that her ex is getting married.” Amelia said and brought a glass, she poured the drink herself. Maya couldn’t say anything. She doesn’t know what’s happening to her.
“You don’t want to celebrate” Amelia said, staring at her.
“No problem” She muttered and gulp down the content. Maya wasn’t happy that something like this is happening.
“You said that you can’t let anyone takes what’s yours. Now you can see very clearly that someone is taking him away from you. You couldn’t do anything about it”
“When you are done yelling at me. Please leave. I own you no explanation on how i want to leave my life” She half yelled at Maya. Maya knows that she is drunk. She grabbed the bottle of whiskey and walked away with it. Amelia took another bottle of whiskey, she opened it and began to gulp the content from the bottle itself. She drank more than her satisfaction. She finished the whole drink from the bottle. She fell on the bed. She wanted to sleep but she couldn’t get it, by drinking. She stagger to the bathroom and removed the bathe suit, she wasn’t filling comfortable anymore. She managed to turn the shower, the water touched her skin again. She walked out of the bathroom nàked and fell on the bed. She slept off.
Maya kept the bottle its place and went to her. “At least she might have cool her head and i hope she will listen to me” She muttered to herself. She was about to open the door, she then remembered that she was mad at her, because she didn’t knock. She knocked but she didn’t any response from her. She repeated it again no response. She has no other choice than to open the door herself. She opened the door, her eyes went to the bed. She was laying nàked, she quickly walked in and closed the door. She managed to make her lay on the duvet. She sighed softly.
“No….please don’t do it. Don’t hurt him” She mumbled, Maya looked closely to her, if she can understand what’s wrong and who she is talking about.
“Who is she talking about? Who are trying to hurt?” She thought. She repeated the same statement, but it has a slight difference.
“No please don’t hurt them. Don’t hurt them” She mumbled. Maya touched her neck, to know if she is okay.
After sleeping for so long she opened her eyes. It was blurry she couldn’t see clearly, she used the back of her hand to rub her eyes. She could see clearly. Maya head was on the bed. She touched her arm, she quickly woke up and smiled at her, she returned the smile.
“Richard is back from school. He was looking for you”
“What did you tell him?” She asked, in case she wants to go see. She will know what to say.
“You are drunk”
“What? Com’on Maya. You shouldn’t have. He is still a kid”
“Just kidding. I told him that you are sleeping. He wanted to come see if truly you were, i have to cook up something
“Something like
“Being tired after work. You need rest”
“Thank you. Am so hungry right now. What’s the time”
“It’s 7pm. Dinner should be ready”
“So fast. The time is really fast”
“That’s the reason why you finished a bottle of whiskey. You lay on the bed sleeping nàked” She yelled at her.
“Chill Maya. You’re being mean”
“Being mean
“Fine am sorry for getting drunk and sleeping naked. Please help me with my clothes” She stammered, she is still drunk.
“Here” She muttered and gave the shirt and short.
“Lemme help you”..
“Oh nah. I can do it myself” She muttered and got down from the bed. She stagger backwards and landed her butt on the bed. Maya rolled her eyes and helped her with clothes.
“Thank goodness I’ve someone like you” She said and blow her a kiss. Maya chuckled softly on her childish behavior all because of whiskey.
“Maya please am so hungry right now”
“Alright i will go get the food. Remember you can’t leave your room like this you’re totally messed up with alcohol” Maya said, she was already closing her eyes slowly.
“Amelia…” She called and touched her arm. “I’m not sleeping please be fast about it” She muttered, Maya rushed out of the room to get the food. She got the food and return to her room. She is sleeping again. She gave a sigh. She kept the food on the table and pulled the chair. She went to her bed and stared at her face, she was already deep asleep. She covered her properly. The air conditioner is doing a great job. She began to eat the food since she is sleeping, when she wakes up she will have to prepare something else for her. Because this night she is going nowhere.
“I should have asked her who are those guys. That she was talking to while sleeping” She thought.
“Who are they?” She thought. “When we thought that our problems are over another one a raise. Now that Julian is getting married to King Henderson and she is not bothered about it” Maya thought. Maya finished eating and went to the kitchen to keep the plates on her way she met a maid and handed her the tray, she returned to the room.
“Maya…..am hungry” She mumbled, smiling at her. She rolled her eyes. “Amelia i have told you so many times do not take alcohol, it’s not good for you, take a look at yourself” Maya said, she began to look at herself.
“There’s nothing wrong with me Maya…..please get me food” She mumbled and sit up. “Okay I will call the maid. Make sure you don’t fall asleep..because am not going to eat this second meal” Maya said. She nods her head like a child and smiles at her. She was about to place the phone on her ear when she fell on the bed again. Maya shook her head and throw the phone on the bed. Maya slept off in her room until the next morning, she was supposed to go to work but she can’t because her friend was drunk and she hasn’t woke up yet.
Maya dragged her legs to the guest room, she quickly took her bathe and wore the dress she saw in the wardrobe. She came back to her room, she was seated on the bed, staring at her phone with her sleepy eyes.
“Maya! Good morning” Amelia greeted.
“There’s nothing good about this morning. you got yourself drunk” Maya scold her.
“Am sorry Miss world” Amelia said, staring at her. “Alright” Maya said. “I’m so hungry…..” Amelia said.
“Your Majesty breakfast is ready” The maid said, bowing her head and waiting for her answers and permission before she leaves.
“Please tell her that i can’t come down for breakfast” Amelia muttered. “Please bring our food here” Maya replied with a smile. “You can leave” Maya added she left.
“Did you get drunk because of him. King Henderson”
“I have no business with that young man. I can’t get drunk because of a man who stands while urinating” Amelia said.
“Seriously then it’s because of a woman who squirt while urinating” Maya snapped. “No…please Maya. Am not mad at anyone. Am living my life babe can’t you see”
“See? What am I seeing? There’s nothing good or worth seeing..”
“Maya please…..the maids are here at least be calm. You have no right to yell at me. You’re acting like my mom” Amelia said and left for the washroom to brush and wash her face, she walked out Maya was waiting for her to come before she resume eating. They began eating.
“Hope i didn’t say anything stupid last night”
“Of course you did. I don’t understand anything you were saying” Maya said, confused.
“Please let’s eat…what do you expect from a drunk person” Amelia said. Maya stopped eating, Amelia glanced at her and asked. “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t believe you just let this happen. A man who truly love you, you left him like that. He’s suffering and dying silently and here you’re. You don’t seem bothered about him. What if he takes his life? What if he hurts himself in any way?”
“Maya, please just let me eat in peace okay. You and I know that, a king can’t take his life. Who is gonna leave his subjects for? Who? Oh com’on slip that thought out of your memory. Okay.”
“You returned the ring.” Maya mumbled. Amelia sighed softly and stuck her hair behind her ear. “Yes, I did. Because I have someone else on my mind.” She muttered.
“Who?” Maya asked. “Don’t worry, you gonna see him soon. He will back in Naples, next week.” She muttered and smiled.
