Sham stood next to the company's gate, her phone on her ear with the help of her left hand. She was holding a mug of coffee she had just purchased from the coffee shop across the road. Her attention was fixed on the phone. "Mum it's okay, I'm fine..I just need a little more time to think about my life and how I'm going to fix it, it takes time to heal from all this drama you know." Sham said.

"Darling just take it easy..I promise I won't pressure you anymore, just go with your pace, it's your life and after all you are the one to make a decision on how to live it, I promise I won't interfere and any decisions you make I'll go by it." Sham smiled on hearing that. Her mother was one no joke, strict woman and the fact that she had easen up on the idea of Sham getting a husband made Sham feel much more comfortable than she had ever felt before. All she wanted was a child, with someone better than Amal, someone who won't deceive her like what Amal did. "Okay Mom I love you, you are the best I need to go to work now." She said as she gulped her coffee. "Talk to you later sweetheart bye I love you." She said then a beep followed. She hunged up. Sham stood out for a while meditating on what she really wanted and she knew Amal was in her mind in wierd way. She kept thinking about him and when she picked up her phone all she saw was Amal's voice messages. She always wanted to call him at least but she couldn't. She sighed amd sipped her coffee, when her eyes caught the worst she had ever imagined. Amal's car stopped next to the gate and Amal walked out and opened the door where Jecinta walked out smiling. She then hugged him and pecked him on his cheek. A cold sweat slid through Sham's armpit and she felt a cold slash through her heart. He was just like them, like the others she had dated. She looked away, it was the worst she could ever imagine from him. She then held her head and tears dropped. She didn't know why she was hurt by that, why it made her feel like hitting him. She just couldn't understand why she felt the ache and the urge to just shout on his face how an imbecile he is and how he betrayed her like the rest. Thoughts filled her mind and she was about to burst out to tears when she felt a hand holding her. "Sham..." Amal's voice echoed through her ears. A big lump filled her throat once. She wiped the little tears that had escaped her eyes and turned to him. "I can explain please.."

"Explain what Amal, the fact that now you have Jecinta instead of me, I am your...." She paused and swallowed hard. Amal stared at her, his eyes widening. "My?" He asked he wanted to hear and know what she took her for. "Forget it, we can never be together." She said turning and heading to the gate but Amal held her hand, tight but gentle. "You love me and it hurts you to see me with someone else right." He asked. She turned and looked at him and tears flowed. "You did this to make me jealous."

"No, never it's not what you think, we need to talk. May be we meet for lunch, I'll pick you up, it will be great you'll see." He let go of her hand.

"Never Amal, Jecinta is here and after all I'm not jealous and I hate you." She said then walked away wiping her tears, it was the worst feeling she had ever felt before
