Those Truth That Were Lies - S01 E11

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 11

Life hits you at every opportunity it gets, you never grow past it but then you can learn to bounce back every single time because there are no excuses for failure even if you have to try over and over again, you owe that much to yourself. That much I have learnt and swore never to let life bother me.

I swayed my hips as i walked down to my office

‘Good morning ma’am ‘ Julia greeted.

‘Morning Julia. ‘ I replied as I turned the doorknob of my office to let myself in.

She picked up her notepad and followed behind me.

I threw my bag on the desk and took my seat while Julia stood in front of my desk to give me a brief of my schedule for the day.

‘ Those came in this morning ma’am. ‘ She pointed as she dropped my coffee on the table.

‘ I figured. ‘ I replied nonchalantly.

Of course I know who it came from and that was certainly nothing to take a second look at.

‘ Okay. ‘ She shrugged and went on to give a brief of my schedule after that, she turned to leave.

‘ Julia. ‘ I called

She turned almost immediately

‘ Yes ma’am ‘

‘ Take those away. ‘

She raised her brows.

‘ By take away, you mean I should…? ‘ She stressed like she needed me to complete the statement.

‘ Do you now eat flowers? ‘

‘ No.. No ma. ‘ She stammered

‘ So…?’

‘ I’m sorry. ‘ She picked up the flowers from my table and headed out.

On a second thought, I called her intercom

‘Please bring them back. ‘

I couldn’t help but stare at the flowers anytime I turned. Whatever games Anthony is playing, by now, I think he should know better than send me flowers.

I went on with my work for the day, when it was lunch time, I took the flowers and moved out to his office. I tapped softly on the door and he answered from inside. I walked in with a bright smile on my face. I was done getting angry, I was done frowning and making him feel like he’s really getting to me. Hell yes, I’m better than that person he thinks I am and I have to set him straight.

He smiled the moment he saw me. I pulled out a seat and sat down right opposite him.

‘ April. ‘ He called.

‘ Seems you’re in a good mood today. ‘ he added.

‘ Of course I am or is there any reason why I shouldn’t be ?’ I dropped the flowers on his desk.

‘ You dropped these. ‘ I continued. ‘ I don’t really need them. I just came to return them. ‘

I stood up and made for the door.

‘ April. ‘ He called

‘ Please don’t ever send flowers to my office again, you’re beginning to make this whole place uncomfortable for me. ‘

‘ Can you hear me out please? ‘ He said gently.

‘ I need your help. ‘ He added.

‘ Ow! Is that so? But I’m not willing to help. If that’s all, have a nice day. ‘ I went on to leave.

‘ April, please don’t be like this. Do you really hate me this much? ‘

Hate? Seriously? It was heart breaking and belittling to hear that from him.

‘ Let’s be straight here Anthony, I don’t hate you but I don’t like you either and whatever it is, I don’t intend helping you at all so please save your breathe cause it won’t change anything. ‘

‘ Even if my life depends on it? ‘ He stood up.

‘ Have you ever cared about anyone’s life? ‘

‘ What happened to you April? You were never like this, you had the purest of heart but right now…. ‘

‘ Don’t you dare stand there and say all those sentimental bullshits to me cause it changes absolutely nothing. You’re not human so don’t you dare talk about humanity to me. ‘ I retorted angrily.

He sank right back into his seat.

‘ I’m sorry April and I’m gonna keep saying that until… ‘

I cut him short

‘ Until you feel it’s no longer necessary? Well I don’t care Anthony. Just stop it all, it’s very exhausting, I’m tired already.’

I could feel the rage in me as he stared closely. I could feel my heart tearing in thousand pieces. He has hurt me in every possible way and still can’t grant the only thing I wish for; peace away from his shadow.

‘ I’m a changed man. ‘ He said and I laughed hysterically.

It wasn’t like its any of my business but seeing everything that has been happening lately, I know Anthony was far from change but I couldn’t care less.

‘ That would do you a lot of good. ‘

I replied and stormed out of his office.
