CHAPTER 158:GOODNIGHT IVANA
So during supper Ivana didn't want to eat her supper alone. So he asked Milka to eat with her on the table, now that she was her personal maid. Since the day she got employed there, so she was entitled to some previllages
So they were eating in silence then Milka decide to break it with a question. "Ivana did you check the note that was attached to the flowers?"
"No,I haven't even checked them, they are still there on the bed. I guess I will check them when I go to sleep. Or did you read them?" Ivana asked in a calmed manner.
"No! How can I check a message that doesn't belong to me. I was just asking because Sir Paul left the house with a worried face. What did he drop bye anyway?" Milka asked nonchalantly.
"Hahaaa, do you really want to know why he was here? Just imagine to say to me that he was sorry. That's the main reason why he was here." She said the chuckled softly at the end.
Milka looked at her surprised, Ivana was done eating yams so she was enjoying her warm Milk while watching news.
"Did you forgive him?" Milka asked again.
Ivana placed the glass of milk on the table then spared her a glaze as she said."Speaking the truth, I really don't know if I have forgiven him or not. I just don't feel anything when he apologized,l am not angry at him, I am not at peace with him. That's the reason you found him here alone." She then scoffed as she picked the glass of milk and continued drinking.
"But Ivana don't you think you should give it a try again. Look sir Paul loves you,he took a bold step to come and apologise to you. I guess this is the second time and I know he have sent you numerous texts and calls that you have ignored." Milka adviced her.
"You are right Milka, but there is much about Paul and I that you don't know. Also marriage is not easy as we think, neither is it a bed of roses." She smiled proudly at her.
She finished taking her Milk and left for her bedroom after saying a thank you for supper and a goodnight to Milka.
When Ivana arrived in her room , the first thing that her eyes decided to spot was the gifts that were still on her bed.She wanted to move them aside in the bed and just sleep perhaps her bed was king-sized. Remembering what Milka had told her, she sat down and took the flowers.
The flowers had almost withered out but still had a refreshing smell. At the stalks of the flower a note was attached to it. Something like a letter, she removed it and placed it aside fast. Then picked the tedbear, it was read in colour so beautiful. The tedbear had a heart that had "I am sorry" written to it. Ivana smirked then placed the tedbear near the pillow.
She then pulled the shopping bag that had chocolate inside. On the top of the chocolates their was a note attached to them. It reads " As the dark as the chocolates are, that's how dark my love to you is. I love you wifey give me the last chance." She smiled after reading the note, placed it on her baby bump then said. " Your cheating father said that he loves me. Do you believe him?"
She then unwrapped the chocolates and started multching on them as she read the long written note that was attached on the flowers.
"Dear Wifey,I know you are still mad at me. It pains me hard to know that I am the reason behind your madness, anger and heartbreak. Slyvia us my ex-girlfriend, she was the one I thought that I will marry. But when Mum proposed you to me, I didn't want to go against her wish. Because I knew that she knows better than I do. When I saw you the first time during your graduation, I fell in love instantly. Although our love needed to be groomed, we were on the good lane when you agreed to consume our marriage. I had planned on going for our honeymoon but I really messed up when I took slyvia to our matrimonial bed. I committed adultery, wifey. But one thing I beg of you, will you continue putting on the ring I gave you!?. Please Wifey', last but not least, I will be leaving for Nigeria soon and you are free to accompany me. I am sorry once again Wifey."
After reading the later inform of a note, Ivana looked at the ring. The ring Paul had bought for her, when he proposed that they should date while in marriage. "Yes I will put on because I am carrying your baby. I don't want people thinking or asking if I got pregnant out of wedlock." She murmured to herself.
She stood up and took the note to the drawer, the same drawer that had divorce papers. Ivana looked at them before putting the note inside and closing them.
'I will be glad to travell with you to Nigeria though I don't know what you are going to do, but we already divorced.' Ivana sighed as he sat on the bed. Like someone who have remembered something important. She walked to the drawer and took the envelope that contained the divorce papers. She looked and the place Paul was supposed to sign. It was signed and his government names written down on it.
She sighed then murmured to herself, "I don't know why you are behaving like someone who didn't sign the divorce papers. And I know there is no way someone else could have signed them. You gave me what I had asked for, why follow me around?"
She entered the bed and covered herself with a duvet. Murmured to herself, "Goodnight Ivana." Then switched of the bedstand lamp and drifted to slumberland.
