I am going to get divorced and live with Josie, I will start a new life and some other people might still want to get married to me, I will first go meet Clement, yes I agree I was in love with Clement before I fell in love with a fool called Kelvin.

I pack my bags, then drop them on the bed.

I will come take my bags after I am sure they want to take me back, I will first go meet Clement and ask if he wants to get married to me, I know I might not love him like before, but my child will have a father.

"Babe!" Kelvin's stupid voice causes me to room my eyes and sigh. He stops walking at my front then gives me an angry look. 

"What is wrong now?" I ask not interested to know.

"You foolish girl didn't iron my cloth even after I insisted." He tells me looking even more angry.

I stand up then stay at his front. 

"What do I look like to you?" I ask and he gives me a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"Do I look like a maid that you'll be telling to iron your cloths and bla bla bla." I fold my hands together resting them on my chest.

"But you are my wife." He tells me looking very angry.

"But you don't treat me like." I immediately tell him as he rolls his eyes.

"Well I never forced you to be my wife, you insisted and you can just easily get divorced." He lowers his brows.

"You are such an imbecile." I insult him then walk away in anger.

********

I ring the doorbell to Clements house as the door opens and I see a woman wearing a black gown reaching her feet and seems to be pregnant.

She might be the new maid Clement has always wished to have, he has finally gotten a maid.

"Hi I'm Babe, I am looking for Clement." I introduce myself and why I'm here as she smiles.

"He's in the living room, come in." 

I enter inside and see Clement sitting on a single chair watching the news as he looks at me.

"Babe, wow it's been a long time." He smiles as I sit on the couch and drop my pink mini bag on the couch close to me.

"Um Clement, hi, how have you been?" I smile trying to start a conversation.

"I'm good, how have you been with your love Kelvin, and I'm so sorry for not coming to your wedding I was so busy." He says in one sentence.

"But I thought I saw you there."

"Nope I was busy." He smiles as the girl who's pregnant walks away. "So what brings you here?" He asks as I beat him a little.

"Oh so I can't come meet you again." I give him a baby angry look as we both laugh.

"Oh please pardon my manners, what would you like to eat?" He asks.

"Nothing." I sigh, and change my happy look to a sad look. "I actually came here for a reason."

"What?" He asks also not smiling.

"Well, Kelvin is,"

*********

"I never knew that was how your story line was like." Clement sighs. "I am so sorry for you."

"I know that's why I came here."

"For what?" He asks.

I get nervous on what to say.

I can't just tell him I want us to get married, I can't tell him we can start a new life together.

"What are you thinking about?" He snaps me out of my thought.

"Well, nothing." I shake my head.

"Well if you are thinking of us getting married." He whispers my thought out.

"Wha What?" I ask really nervous.

"I am so sorry but I am already married." He sighs. A drop of tear comes out of my eyes.

"Rainbow." He whispers.

"Who's Rainbow?" I ask crying already.

"The woman who opened the door." He reminds me.

"That means." I say in a low tone.

"Yes she's pregnant." He finishes my sentence.

"I," I pause.

"And not to lie, I actually was in love with you, but when you said you were going to marry Kelvin, I had to let go of you, true love means when the other is happy..."

"But I'm not happy with Kelvin." I interrupt him a little loud.

"I am so sorry." He stands up. "I'll go get you something to eat." He walks out of sight as I begin to sob.

I am ruined, Clement is married, well at least some other people might still want to get married to me.

I Stan up then run out of his house.

Clemy's p.o.v

——————–

I come in with a tray and a glass plate full with spaghetti on top of it.

"And here's your," I pause after noticing she's not here, I drop the plate on the table.

"Baby what happened?" Rainbow comes in and I sigh.

"Nothing, just one of my old friends." I tell her.

"So what'd she say?" She asks sounding so eager to know.

"Well it's a long story." 

"I want to know the long story." She walks up to me holding my two hands. "Or you wanna keep a secret from your wife?" She smiles a little which is obviously fake.

"Well, it all started,"

*********

Babe's p.o.v

—————–

Wow this place has really gone old, and crowdy.

I stop at Anna's house, then ring the doorbell.

I look at my toes waiting for someone to open, but no one opens the door, I ring the doorbell again, and from the next house the door opens, and a slim woman wearing a black olden days long skirt, and a white shirt as she faces me, with her black hair packed in a pony tail, she looks fifty.

"My dear come in." She tells me in an old tone. "You are Josephine's sister right?" She asks and I nod.

"Yes ma'am." I enter inside with her and she closes the door.

I observe the house, painted red, the switch's red, the chairs black, just two couches.

"Have your seat." She moves to the first couch as I walk to the couch and sit on it.

"So ma'am." I try to ask her. "I um, am looking for my sister Josie." I tell her and she smiles.

"Okay I'll tell you about her after you eat something." She walks out of sight.

I look at a picture at my left and see a woman's picture and a man holding her hands and she smiles.

The woman comes back holding a tray which has at his left a glass plate with eight cookies on it and a glass of water, she drops it on a pink table I'm sure I didn't notice .

"You should first eat few cookies then drink water before I tell you." She tells me, she sits on the other couch and I get a little confused.

Why does she want me to know first?.

I take a cookie and cut half if it, I grind it in my mouth, then swallow it.

"You enjoying it right?" She asks as I nod, and it is delicious, taking like chocolate with some delicious ice cream.

"It's delicious." I throw the other half in my mouth, I grind it till it becomes tiny particles and easy to swallow and I swallow it.

"I'm glad you like it." She chuckles.

"Ma'am."

"Bing, call me Bing." She interrupts me, I nod, then take another of her delicious cookie.

"Bing, um I came so you can tell me about my sister." I tell her and she laughs, which I don't get anything funny.

"You should first eat like three of the cookies." She sits very well.

"But." I pause then sigh, eating half of the second cookie.

Why is this woman doing this? Just to tell me about my sister, has she travelled to Dubai? Or Canada? Or where is she?.

I throw the other half and grind it in my mouth, then swallow it.

Now just one last cookie.

I smile, then take another cookie and immediately throw everything in my mouth, really big and making it difficult to chew finish.

"Gwa bwey brey whre mro sristy is." I say with so much food in my mouth and saying it wrong.

"You should first finish the one in your mouth." She gives me a weird look.

I finish everything.

"Now tell me where my sister is." I sigh and she laughs.

"So that was what you were trying to say." She laughs again causing me to roll my eyes.

"Please tell me." I get annoyed.

"First drink water." She smiles, I quickly gulp half of the water in, I take another cookie.

"Tell me." I beg her, then her happy face fades.

"Well, after you got married." She itches her head.

"Yes?" I get more curious to know.

"Then she um like." She pauses then continues. 

"What?" I ask.

"Committed suicide." She tells me, I open my mouth, standing up, and the cookie falls from my hand, and a drop of tear comes out of my eyes.

"You're joking right?" I ask laughing with tears coming freely from my eyes.

"I'm so sorry for your loss." She stands up holding my hand but I immediately remove her hands from mine.

"My sister's dead?" I continue crying.

"She committed suicide at the big fountain." She tells me.

The big fountain is a fifty feet big statue, forty feet tall, they say you can't reach the up, else you bribe the person who's to take care of it, Mr Booger, they call him that cause he stinks, that's where she committed suicide

I turn to the direction of the door and run out immediately.

*********

"Mr Booger." I tap him, noticing his ugly scent and his bushy big beards reaching his shoulder.

"Hello, who're you?" He asks bad scent coming from  his mouth.

"I would like to go to the top of this big fountain." I tell him trying to hold my tears.

"I'm so sorry but you can't go." He shakes his head, I reach in my mini bag and bring out any amount that comes in my hands, then remove it.

I stretch my hand as he looks at the money, and collects it counting it.

"Three thousand dollars?" He stretches his hand. "I don't want." He gives me an angry face.

I open my bag, and take ten extra thousand dollars and give it to him.

"Will you accept this?" I try really well to stop the cry from coming.

"Yes." He collects the money from my hand and whispers into my ears. "Don't let anyone know I let you in." He moves away as I walk to the ladder and climb it carefully, I stop at the head of the big fountain.

My sister committed suicide here, so that means I have to do the same, and what is my life for? My sister's dead, the man I loved betrayed me, the man I loved before this one is married already so what is my life used for, I think the next thing is this, committing suicide.

A drop of tear comes out if my eyes as I stand up.

I attempt to fall, but get stopped by a hand.

I turn to look.
