Ray was sitting on the bench. He was feeling nervous and had so many questions
“How is she?”

“She is okay no internal injury,” said the doctor

“Are you sure doctor?”
“Yes. She is even awake. You can go and see her.”

Ray followed the doctor. He walked behind him and was led in a room. The doctor opened the door and let him inside.
“If you need anything I will be in my house,” he said before closing the door.
Ray made a step close to the bed. He sat on the bed and looked at Amy.

“What happened between you and Diana?”
He paid attention to the eye contact Amy maintained. He knew she was a good liar. She had lied to him several times. Amy needed to play the game rightly. She faked tears.

“I was just coming from the bathroom. She asked me who I was and when I told her that. I was your girlfriend. She got mad at me and threw me down the stairs,” she lied.
It didn’t make sense to Ray so he kept quiet for a while. He knew Amy was not telling him the truth. She and Diana knew each other.
“You need to tell me everything or else! You threw yourself down those stairs. I know you did it so that I could hate Diana. You didn’t really have a choice so you threw yourself down the stairs.”

Amy jumped in and corrected.

“I don’t want her to be with you. I wanted to get rid of her,” she said not thinking.
After realising that she had told the truth. She thought of another plan.
“I am laying charges of assault. She pushed me down those stairs.”

“You won’t dare. You crazy,” said Ray getting up. “If you come after Diana again. I swear Amy….. You will hate me!” he said walking to the door.

He stopped, turned and faced her.
“I don’t want to see you at my house,” he said and slammed the door in her face.
“Dammit Diana!” shouted Amy when Ray had closed the door. “This is far from over. Let the war begin.”

Ray got in his car and made a phone call to his brother before starting it.
“Bro!”

“Ray. I am at work what is it?”
“Bro help me out. I need to see my lady. Can I have address to her house? Please bro I will buy you some sweets.”

“Man! I am not Kiara who loves sweets. We still need to talk about Diana. I know you guys are pretending but if it so happens that you have true feelings for her. I beg you to take good care of her. She has been through a lot in her life,” advised Raphael.

“I will bro. Now the address. The counselling save for later. Mr Marriage Counsellor”
“Okay cool. Write it down.”

Ray wrote down the address. He started his car and drove off at Diana’s house.

“Miss!” called out Rose.
“Huh!”

“I can see you have a lot in your mind. For hours now I had been talking to myself. Let me leave you to rest,” said Rose getting up.
“Thank you Rose.I am sorry. I kinda wasted your time.”

“No need to. Guess I will see you tomorrow when you feeling better,” said Rose.

“Yes!” responded Diana walking her to the door. “Take care,” she said before closing her door.

She sat on her sofa. She wanted to see Ray and tell him the truth. Yes, they were not dating but she felt that he needed to explain to him what really happened.

She got lost inside her own thought. She didn’t pay attention on what was happening around her. She felt cut off from the world.

She felt trapped. A knock on the door disrupted her thoughts. She was not expecting anyone. Who could it be? She thought to herself. She walked to the door and opened the door.

He was standing at the door. His hands in his pocket. Her heart started pounding really fast.
“Can I come inside?”

“Yah sure,” she said and closed the door when he got inside.

He made himself comfortable on the sofa. She was shaking like a leaf and he noticed it. Different from Amy who used to hide her nerves.

“I want to ap….”

“Why did you push her down the stairs?!” he shouted at her pretending to be angry. He wanted to scare her and she was.

“I did not push her. She pushed herself. I mean she threw herself down those stairs,” she said with a innocent look on her face. “Why didn’t you tell me that you had a fiancee? To even think that I would fall for a guy like you.”

“What! She is not my fiancee D. We broke up months ago.”

“Oh please Ray. I am not a twelve year old that you can lie to. Enough of the lies. I may have not pushed her. I know I am not guilty but the guilt one here is you,” she paused.

“No, Diana. Listen,” he looked at her.

She was beautiful but not that only. He had devoped some feelings for her. She had too, but there was Amy between them. He was afraid to confess what he felt about her. She was afraid to be in love with him. Amy was a threat. They kept quiet for a while.
“I think it will be best if you leave my house. I don’t want to see you again,” she said with tears.

She didn’t mean it but she was trying to protect him. He didn’t want to leave. He didn’t want to let her go. She was his soulmate and he felt it. He walked out of the house.
