The thoughts of how to clear my name from the blogs lingered in my head, my heart were beating so fast, my palm were shaky and sweaty, my heart so heavy like it was going to burst, I held my head supportively, it was really aching and at the same time I was dizzy . What could I possibly do? Building the page took lots of strength and I can't watch it go that way; getting trolls online is another thing I can't face, most people are damaged and always looking for whom to vent their frustration on without minding the emotional effect on the individual. I sat down feeling so sad, my roommate kept on talking, and I felt like strangling her to death. She lacks empathy and can never understand another person's fate, her boyfriend always complains about her level of care and inconsideration and she will never change, being selfish is her motor. My phone rang, I hesitated to check the caller, right now I don't care about the call and the caller; no call can save me from the mess, it's either work demand or quarrel from the working place and I'm not emotionally stable for that. The phone kept on disturbing my ear, the caller had refused to stop calling that I had no choice but to check the caller. Surprisingly, it was Karl, I really don't understand the sudden change of character towards me, his nice gestures is already scaring me. I felt like he has other motives, he can't go from beefing me to a sudden friend, including defending me openly, maybe he wants to gain my trust but I won't give it easily, life has taught me much lessons. My inner mind insisted not to pick the call, but I have no choice than to return the favor too. "Hey Clara," he said sounding so melodious. It feels good hearing a voice of a once loved one after a long time. I paused for a while and replied his greeting. We talked for a very long time, he consoled me for the phase I'm passing through, which I appreciated. Karl kept talking like an elder brother, I felt so surprised seeing him act so grown and mature, his voice, choice of words, words of encouragement were top-notch. At this point, I realized how much I have missed him, we have been in same working place but just like a total stranger. After he asked me out, which led to our breakup, we only say greetings to each other and nothing more. Most times I try to picture why people behave that way, I believe a friend can't suddenly turn an enemy if the friendship has been genuine, I really love Karl but I don't find him attractive nor want to be a lover, he is so handsome, well built, tall, fair with a nice fashion sense, so I really know is not about the look, maybe he felt so disappointed with my rejection, but still love shouldn't be by force or out of pity,is a thing of the heart and should be by choice. Old wine remains the best, I thanked him for making me feel so better and we ended the call biding each other good night. It was a very big relief to my soul, seeing a person who encourages you at your odd mood is a blessing. He promised to come up with a plan or maybe plans to get me out of the mess. After some minutes, sleep defeated me, something I never knew would come that easily that night.The night itself seem to be troubled, I woke up several times, the room were so hot that I had to open the windows risking us to unknown danger, our area is really a tough one but with cheap houses. I moved from one end of the bed to the other side, the power supply was never restored till it became morning. I woke up to the crows of cock, it's stressful living in a trench but I'm already use to it, I wasn't this way but life happened, I have no choice than to push further. I really pray and hope my future children won't pass through same phase. I stretched my hand reaching to my little bed clock and it was already late. This week really came with lots of problem but I will surely be okay, I assured myself. I hurriedly went to the bathroom to freshen up. I got into the bathroom and got carried away. The bathroom is a small beautiful girly bathing space, it really look so nice because of the decorations. I walked towards the mirror, staring at my image from my head to the toe. I can't remember the last time I had such time to admire myself. I stared at my skin , touching it like it isn't mine, honestly Jessica's anger and actions are valid, it's not easy looking so beautiful and adorable even when life is tossing you about, I gave out a wide smile just like a little kid who discovered a new beautiful play toy, revealing my best set of dentition. I'm off to work, my roommate's voice brought me out of my world of admiration. 'We would meet later princess Clara,' I said to the beautiful image and hurriedly took my bath. Today is that day to prove that I'm not in any competition with anyone and no inferior one can pull me down, I really need to show a little part of my hidden self, I love drawing and painting, so color combination is really what I love doing. I took down my box of beautiful dresses. I really love buying beautiful dresses but prefers putting on the simple ones, though always simple but classy. I wore the floral purple gown, long but classy, the texture of the clothes on my body feels so cool and comfortable, the fitting was so perfect like it was a customized dress. I took my black fancy heel and wore it, my hair was well styled by me. Pushing out my makeup drawer, I did the perfect decoration on my face, giving I'm a barbie princess vibe with my perfect fitting earrings. I stood up watching and I admiring myself, I wish I will be me even in my next world, excluding the horrible fate that befell me. I will talk about it later but that is the only part of me I wish it never happened. I took out my nice scented perfume and applied all over, I stepped out looking like a princess, the stares I got was so much but I know I worth those stares, I'm already late but at this point, I'm determined to take any risk because I need to prove a point; once a queen always a queen. I walked majestically not minding their stares, getting to the junction to pick a cab, the loaders kept on shouting and admiring my beauty, their choice of words were so funny yet so sweet, which made me happier. After a few minutes of waiting, I got a cab and i was successfully taken to the coffee shop where I work" the Zen coffee shop is the best. The setting and decoration of the coffee shop is so captivating, I will choose here too if I'm one of the wealthy personnels.
