I looked around the restaurant to know where usman and Blair were sitting down because we had a business meeting today with our new partners.
I finally saw them then I moved towards the table
"sorry, I am late,i had to attend to something"i said, as I sat down on the empty chair.
After few minutes we finalized the deal and our partners were set to go.
"it's so nice doing business with your company"the man said standing up with the lady beside him. Usman also stood up to shake them before they left.
"I want to use the bathroom"blair said then she excused herself. I was now left sitting alone with usman.
He looked intensely at me then I immediately averted my gaze. I can really be so shy sometimes.
"zee, there has been something I have been meaning to tell you" he said and immediately my heart skipped a bit. There was so much going on in my head at that moment and the atmosphere suddenly felt tense and I felt nervous.
"I really do like you and it's not just any kind of like. I like you so much, I have always since the first time I met you. I want to make you mine, I want to get married to you" he said and then I didn't know what to say at first. I wasn't all that surprised though because I had felt he might have but I wasn't sure.
"I am sorry but my answer is "no" because you really can't like me in that way, I don't want you to get married to you or anyone" I said
"I really do admire you and I respect your decision but I am ready to wait for you if you need time to think about it. You don't need to give me an answer immediately" he said and I just had a blank stare on my face. I didn't know how to feel. I know it felt like it was sincere and all but I just couldn't put my self in a situation where I get hurt again. I was done with love.
"no you can't wait for me, I have a child I have to take care of and you know that" I said
"your mum told me about everything that happened to you, he was so stupid to do such to you and I can be a father to her too. I would love to"he said and I wondered what mum had told him and why in the world she had to tell him everything about my life and why was he making all kinds of promises. Wasn't that what Ahmed had also done.
"I really don't care and I really mean it when I say you can't like me, I really don't want anybody getting hurt. Not you and definitely not me"i said standing up from the chair I was sitting on because I wondered what was taking Blair so long to get back.
"I really meant everything I said to you. I would have said this a long time but I wasn't sure about how you felt about me but I just couldn't hold it in anymore"he said, then I picked my bag
"I am broken usman, I am like a shattered mirror, I can't be put together and I really wouldn't want you to get hurt"i said
"then just give me a chance to fix you"
"no usman, I am broken beyond repair"i said then left but I turned back again. "tell Blair I had to leave".
I got home and went straight into my room.
"no one can fix me"i screamed throwing my pillow to the wall.
"no one can"i cried clutching the bed spread in my hand.
"not even usman"i screamed amidst tears then I saw mother walk into the room.
"why not give him a chance"she said slowly walking towards me as she drew me closer to her side and I buried my head on her chest.
"he already broke me beyond repair mother!!"I cried "they are all the same actually,they sweet talk you then use you and leave you"
"give this one a chance,not everyone is like ahmed"she said but I just cried until I fell asleep slowly on her arm. I wasn't sure even Usman can fix me because it felt like I had been scarred for life.
