chapter 1

Efua paced about in the little room which was dimly Lit up. She could still perceive the scent of damp soil which came in from the window of her room. She had opened it just after it had stopped raining and every where had become quiet. she could hear nothing but the crizzing sound of crickets outside the room. The weather had been so cold but she was sweating profusely. She still felt numb in her knees as shivers still ran through her spin.

she was so lost in her own world that she could not pay the slightest attention to the beeping of her second mobile phone. She had laid firm grip on her cell phone and at minutes intervals, she read the messages that Hilary had sent to her. It always made a hot cold sensation run through her whole body. Heaven knows that she had not expected him to text her or even have her number.

Efua would smile and other times she would frown and then a streak of tears would run down her cheeks and she would immediately wipe it off as if she did not want anyone to know that she was crying neglecting the reality that she was all alone.

"where have you been? It has been years. How are you doing?"

she texted but immediately deleted what she had typed. She was still contemplating if it was a good idea to reply to his message. She would give it a couple of days. She did not want to look desperate or too yielding. She thought that it was best to give herself some form of self respect. Or so she thought.

Efua stared at her phone for the last time before she summed up the courage to delete the message. she would not let it bother her. She would wait to see if He would send another message to her or in worse scenerio,call her. The thought of Hilary calling her still made her feel in a way that she could not explain. It made heat wrap her up in a firm embrace making her breath speed up but she managed to take in a deep breath and once she released the air which she had trapped within her, she dropped the phone on her little but comfortable bed which had been covered with a beautiful green bed spread.

"I love green" was the voice that she heard in her mind. Hilary had complemented the colour green so much that it just had to come to her mind now that she was thinking so much about him. It made her smile but suddenly, an unfamiliar sense of anger overwhelmed her that she dragged the bed spread off the bed and flinging it to the ground,she found her self breathing heavily. she could not understand what had come over her but it made her cry. She was too trapped in her emotions to care about her phone that had dropped to the ground with the sheet. She rushed to her bathroom and took a very fast shower trying as much as she could to distract her self from the thought of Hilary.
