She has gone away 😞

It started as a joke. Then went on as a talk, slightly maturing from a talk to a habit. For the slightest of chances, it had managed to consume my entire body and energy. I fell deeply into it. My thoughts were all about love, and my entire heartbeat sang rhythmically with a unison voice. 

Being a hot afternoon, I sat outside my well-opulent mansion that displayed the excellent scrutiny of elegance in everything, from the furniture to the cleanliness of the place. The happiness, the impeccable nature of the house, the peace in my heart, and maybe the presence of the sun shining brightly in the clear blue sky all pointed to one person, Lucy. 

Lucy was the woman of my life, at least by then, but I don't know if I should regret what happened that evening. So sitting there, I reminisced about how I met her and threw the first jokes at her. It was a tough fight to get her, but I managed.

Lucy had gone to work as usual, but she had not returned. She had overstayed at work which was unusual for her. Could it be overtime? No. Her ego and the hard work we had done to secure the riches we owned could not allow her to overstay. Where has she gone then? 

An owl then came hooting before me thrice. It didn't attack when I tried to, and my pet, a cat named Lulu came and tried to scare it away. It succeeded, then came before me and looked at me with its wide eyes. 

There then came an oppressive silence. No birds were singing, my cat Lulu went and slept just outside the door. The swimming pool outside my house no longer looked attractive anymore. My heart began racing faster. The soothing and caressing wind was no more. It was replaced by a sudden cold wind. Cold wind in the sun! I couldn't understand what was going on.

When I could no longer wait for Lucy, and also being overwhelmed with cold, I dialed her number and called her. She received it quickly, and she did not talk. 

“Hello Darling! I've missed you. Please hurry up and come home, it's so cold here.” There was silence as I waited for an answer. “Hello, are you there?” 

“Your Darling is coming!” A deep male voice said and immediately hang up the phone. I was shocked. I started shivering vigorously with my teeth clenched hoarse. Lucy was cheating on me? No. I struggled to believe it, convincing myself that it was a dream or a prank. 

Minutes passed, a blue car pulled into the compound. I immediately rose up to meet my two twin daughters, who I thought that their driver had brought them from school with a new car. However, a tall dark man dressed in a blue business suit emerged from the driver's side carrying some papers in hand. He gave them to me and got in the car and left. The tension to open the papers to uncover what was written there built within me. 

Slowly I opened the envelope and unfolded the paper that was there. Only then did I see the car disappearing out of the gate and another luxurious Range Rover car stormed in. It came quickly to a halt just before me. A man well dressed in a black suit came out of the driver's side and came towards me. 

“How are you and who are you?” I asked, shocked. I had not read the contents of the paper given initially. 

“I have no time for greetings.” He said roughly. “Do you know Lucy, the woman whom you claim that you're her husband?” I was silent. One eye went to the paper I held in my hand as the other looked at the strange man. Suddenly, I dropped the paper with rage as if it was burning in my fingers. My gaze turned to the man demanding for answers. 

“What is…” I shouted before he interrupted.

“Stop! I'm not the one for blame, before I do what I have to do, you already have the information. I've just come here to confirm that Lucy is not yours anymore.” With that he left me, got in his car and drove. As he turned the car away, the window beside the driver's slid down and Lucy's face appeared. Her hand then waved at me goodbye. The other window also came down and my twin daughters' faces appeared. They looked confused and they managed to look at me only when the car was nearly out of the gate. 

Well, shit happened, and I lost my wife with a couple of lines on paper. Nothing made sense to me there, maybe explain to me. There was something written with capital letters, ‘DNA’. At least that's what I can remember. 

Well, let me freshen up and read the message again to you 🥲🥲.
