Richard drove speedily to the nearest bar, he bought two bottle of wine which has very much alchohol in it and head home, he would drink himself to stupour today and forget the heart breaking incident that just occured,
The pain he was feeling in his mind that moment was nothing to compare with,
He had just found his fiancee having sex with his best friend.
"oh God what is this?" he said breathing hard,
He was still finding it hard to believe it,
Richard and clara had been in a relationship for three years now, he had loved her intensely with all his heart, he gave her all she asked for, he already had the mindset of settling down with her finanlly,
Clara had called him on phone that day that she would be travelling to see her mother in the village,
Richard who was having a little doubt on what she said decided to go to her house to be sure she was truly travelling,
He parked his car a little distance away from the main building then walked in by foot,
As he entered he saw his best friend Mike car parked inside the compound, his heart beat faster in fear,
He tiptoed in quietly, everywhere was silent except for a tiny voice coming from the inner room, he walked nearer quietly, then suddenly he heard a loud moan from the room, the voice was the same with his girlfriend,
Not long after the room filled up with the sound of moans and groan,
He opened the door silently and behold his fiancee and his best friend having a hot sex in a doggy position, they couldn't notice his presence as they were both lost in pleasure,
He stared at them for some minute before clapping his palm bringing them back to reality they both turned in shock and shame, Pain and anguish was all he felt that moment, if anyone should tell him that his best friend Mark was having affair with his girlfriend he would have beaten up that person for trying to spoil their friendship. but here is him, his most trusted friend,
He had personally introduced him to Clara recently telling him he was prepairing to begin marriage process with her. look at him doing this to him.
He couldn't utter any word to them but one thing was for sure 'it is over between him and Clara, as for Mike they are now great enemy.
He drove out of the bar heading home as the heavy rain hit his car, he was driving speed with all those thought in his mind,
Just then he sighted a lady crossing the road with a tray with the heavy rain beating her badly
He really felt pity for the lady and decided to pick her up
"hey lady"he called whining down his glass
The lady turned and stared at him shivering due to the cold she was feeling,
As their eyes both met he felt something more intense, which he could not understand, the lady standing before him has a sad expression like someone with a hard burden,
"Come into the car, you will fall sick if this rain hit you for a long time" he said
Sandra who was already feeling so much cold hopped into the car without much hesistation. she would have decline the offer if it was on a normal day, the cold she was feeling had gone deep into her body and she knew if she waste more minute in the rain it would cause her a serious illness
Richard seeing how intense the cold she was feeling offered her the sweater he was putting on.
"Put this on " he said giving her the shirt,
"thanks"she muttered with a calm smile as she wore the cloth quickly
"so where are you heading to?"he asked
"home"she answered
"okay,you would be directing me the way to follow i hope you can do that"he asked "ye--s, keep driving stra--ight" she said shivering
"Okay" he answered
***
They arrived at sandra's house in on distant time, Sandra begged him to park the car outside the to avoid her step mother from seeing her with a guy which she knew he she finds out she will be in a very big problem, night was already fast approaching,
"thank you very much for your help"Sandra said
"it is a pleasure, but why did you prefer walking in the rain you could have taken a cab" Richard asked with a concern expression
"you would not understand, even if you would, i can't tell you okay thank you once more, see you next time" she said and made to leave but Richard held her palm and drew her back to the car
"please where can we see again, or should i visit you here"he asked while sandra stared at him with a surprise look, "why do you want us to see again" she asked
"i want up to discuss something" Richard answered
"hmm, i want you to do me a favour, would you?" she asked
"Yes, why not" he answered
"Pretend and behave as if we have never met, please forget about me... go on with your life okay"she said
"What do you mean?" he asked
"I don't want to disturb any man life, please for the good of the both of up stay away from me" she said
"Please i really...." Richard tried explaining further but sandra had already barged out of the car,
