Men are the same

Sandra came back from selling her fish and her mind trotted to Alex. “Why is he not calling?, he promised me, he promise to take me to his house this weekend and now his phone is switched off?, hahaha” she laughed not out of fun but because she thought Alex is fooling her.

She wipe out the tears that roll down her cheeks. “Alex is joking with me, but I don’t blame him, is this foolish heart of mine that won’t stop beating for him.” She starts hitting her chest and crying silently in her room, she has fallen flat in love with Alex but maybe, just maybe Alex didn’t love her as much as she loved him.

“But what is wrong with me?, why are all of them treating me this way?, first it was Brian now is Alex, but Brian didn’t hurt me the way Alex do, I just  can’t stop loving him” Sandra cry bitterly.

She stays indoor for the whole day refusing to eat. But Sandra didn’t come from a family where they pet kids, so no one notice if she has eaten or not, in fact her little brother bright will give anything for Sandra to reject  food so he will consume it with speed.

Her mother only ask after her when she needed her to do something for her, or go to the market to help her sell fish. Her father didn’t  even have the time because of he is always at his security job, his family hardly see him at home, so Sandra has the full liberty to cry a river without interruption.

She got up and decide to pay Alex a visit the next day “I need to know what is going on, he has to tell me if he loves me or not, I need to put an end to this” she murmured on her way to Alex house.

Getting there she saw an old man with white long moustache that almost touches his kneels standing at the entrance holding a walking aid because he was very old to stand straight, he lean against his walking stick and made as if to fall but Sandra rushed to help him.

“You stay here?” Sandra ask the old man, because she thought it might be Alex’s grandfather, although she knew little about Alex because they’ve  not really known each other for that long. But she still thinks that this man is Alex grandfather. “And where is he going to shaking like this?”

“Yes my child, I stay her but am alone now”

“Oh.. You want me to help you inside?”

“There will be no need my child, I have to go too”

“Why?, are you going somewhere!” she turned to look but didn’t  see anyone or a car, so who is going to help him? Definitely he looks too old to move around alone.

“Where is Alex? He should be helping you walk around”

“Alex no longer lives here” the old man said.

“Yeah, I thought as much, I knew it, he was just playing with my emotions, and besides he is married, yeah, that’s the right thing to do, run away from Sandra I guess, he’s not in love with me”. she murmured and the tears stood in her eyes again.
