IN LOVE WITH MY STEP [Episode 5]

Episode
5 – Alone in thought

 Farad’s in thought.

I
have falling in love for the first time and now it’s all going to end. This is
totally different from the love stories I’ve read and heard( even totally
different from the love movies have watched). Is there any love book I haven’t
read?

I
sat on my bed and meditate have lost appetite since the day I heard the
shocking news. I didn’t allow anyone in my room, not even my love Priscilla.
They were really concerned about me. So I assured them I’d be fine, that I just
wanted to be alone( I have to man up).

The
house keeper served me my food in my room. I ate and continued thinking…O my
gracious Lord why me? Why Zara? Why? Why? Why? I asked almost in thought.

If
only I could change time and ask Zara the necessary question earlier, maybe
things could have been better. But the best time to run back to is the day dad
told us about his relationship with Miss. Zakiyah. I could have opposed and by
now I and Zara would have been in a serious relationship(I know am been
egocentric buh then…) and I know it’s going to be forever because this is
true love.

I
thought of the first day we (Zara) met. Her smile, her dress sense I admire
all(am going insane). I really can’t help myself right now. I feel heartbroken
knowing she loves me and I know this is not mere infatuation. We are soon going
to be siblings. ‘My step sister’ it doesn’t sound well I’m in love with my step
sister. 

How
will she (Zara) feel right now? I wondered. I guess she would be depressed like
I am. Or she would be celebrating with her mom so her mom won’t suspect she has
feelings for her future Step brother OMG!. I never expected all these to happen
not what I dreamt off.

I
got up and searched for more novels that can solve this problem I’m having but
none of it was inclined at this point. I have read most of the Novels on my
shelf the only ones I haven’t read was just a normal story. I glance through
them one after the other and still can’t find anything relating to my present
life no one is helping at all.

I
think it’s time to face the reality and stop living a life of Novels. If this
is the case then I’ll have to put down my story and then let fate write it for
me till the end. At least who ever come across same fate will know the step to
take. I pick up my dairy and started writing.

After
a while I stopped and put on my mp3 to listen to some hiphop songs that helped
vibe me up.

I
opened my room door and took the plates to the kitchen. I took three glass cup
from the kitchen and went straight to the fridge and brought out a chilled
juice. I walked down to the garden where my sisters were chilling and we all
had the juice together(they were suprise and happy to see me chilling with
them). They were very happy to see am better now.

Now
that things are complicated what will you do bro? – Priscilla asked. I really
don’t know my dear. Maybe Naomi will have a good answer to that question since
she’s in a relationship.

Naomi:
Nah! Don’t even go there. Maybe you should ask ‘Fred’ is the guy here and
you’re not a girl. – I laughed to her jokes. Funny I had to vibe up and man up.

It
just few weeks to dad wedding any Miracle can happen. Fate!!! Please do
something good!
