The divorce

chapter 24

She looked at me , an intense look and moved to the others and barked ,

Start !

Gulping , we started our punishment doing push ups , man !! I was crying when I was at the twentieth ,

I wish I had die , the others watched and were given opportunities of resting up whilst we were punished.

Diane was crying loudly but none of us uttered a single words , We didn't want  do this anymore .

She barked and yelled on us as we trained pretty hard on her satisfaction  ,  when she made sure we reached fifty each and every one of us ,

She let us go ,

I couldn't even stand up and I ended up laying on the rough floor leaving the tears leaking down my eyes,

Why is life so hard sometimes ,?becuase you chose to chase your dream , my subconscious reminded me .

Hey...let me help , I heard Casy saying to me and I gladly accepted after few minutes of trying to get up ,

We went directly to the hall , and ended up meeting the men .

The food wasn't ready ,I ended up sitting on the far back seats and watched as every one cooperated with each other forgetting all the pain and what we went through earlier ,

I was the only one  who didn't speak , I kept quiet and observed every body including my surroundings and stayed low-key ,

I am thankful that no one recognised me , Weeks ago I was in every social media tabloids  streaming  about my divorce .

I watched as some people from higher units walk in wearing charismatic uniforms , they looked smart and nice and i would like to have that .

A man from a far who was talking with the others noticed me , I didn't notice him coming to me until he sat beside me .

Hey .. he says and I nod feeling heavy to say anything ,

Hello .. I whispered back and gave him a nod ,

Why aren't you interacting with the others , ? He asked flabbergasted ,

Tired .. I croacked out and took a bottle of water and chugged it down my throat in one go .

You sure are tired , he remarked and I nod .

I am Conrad , and you , ? I looked at him face to face and boy ..

He had very beautiful brown eyes ,

Your eyes are beautiful I blurt out and he bursted into a fit of laughter earning attention from the others ,

That's what you noticed , ? He asked cheekily making me smirk ,

Mmhh  ..I replied .

It's going to be a week and you are the only one who doesn't interact with any of us , is there something wrong ?

What does he want, ?

He is not my therapist and I  ingnored him,

Nice to meet you , but I am not in the mood of talking . I am sorry, I don't want to be rude .

He looked at me  suspiciously," what are you looking at , ?" I ask him a little puzzled ,

I ..I know you from some where , he said a little loud .

My heart beat quickened knowing fully he had recognised me , I tell you millitary is something else , you won't get recognised with the steamy sun that burns your skin now and then .

Shut it !! I gritted out and gave him one of my stern looks ,

Don't you dare , I threatned him knowing fully that he has already recognised me  .

Don't worry , I won't tell unless ..

"Unless what , ?" I fought back ,

Unless you reject me to be your friend ,he says cheekily .

What is wrong with this guy , ? Fine ! I spit out , he smiled widely and said well we are friends now , no matter what kind of problems we are going to get .

Make sure you  check on me daily becuase I will do the same to you. Is this man for real, ?

Okay ..I replied and looked the other side of the room with a roll and annoyance  .

Lunch is ready , the chef announced .
