Amirah POV
I stood pompously at the side of the road as it rained. The rain was actually becoming torrential and the fact is I did not like it that way .
At first , the sky had become more overcast and the colds scudded by like smoky cotton balls and thunders roaring which in a blink of an eye followed by downpours .
I was at this moment really stranded here . I stood pompously at the side of the road as it continued to rain . it was indeed a torrential kind of which would even bring floods. That was actually not anything that I even thought about .
I had so much going on in my mind . if it continued to pour the way it e was already doing for the next twenty minutes then that meant that I was actually was going to get ruined once and for all.
Those twenty minutes could mean losing my job and that could by my mom not getting her cancer treatment . I would rather offer my kidney other than my mom not getting her cancer treatment . She is the only family that I have .
“What should I do to get to work in such rain?” I asked no one else the question but it turned right back at me . I contemplated about moving in the rain but that could make every one to preserve me as a complete lunatic since it could mean getting to the company late...then I saw a car.
“Won’t you ask me the damn question ?” Ray asked me after I had sat in his car for about five minutes. This question drove so much memories and thoughts into my head. I could not have gotten into his car in the first place . I had actually thought that I could be strong but that was actually like it was never going to happen at all . May be it is something in my thoughts but not something that I can do physically.
But then it was the only way out that I had at the moment . I knew how best I was supposed to play this game . It could be the only way that could help me get out of this . But the question that he had asked me was still echoing in my head but I looked ahead at the rain that was falling peacefully not knowing what situation that it had placed me .
“Won’t you answer me ?” he went again . “Your mind seem to be millions of miles away.” He added. I could feel his stare onto me but I did not have the courage to look up at him . I rather remained looking ahead. I kept grimacing at my fingers for perhaps getting some strengthen . I did not know if I was actually angry with him or rather hated him with a passion .
For hundred of times now , I had practiced and promised myself that I was not going to show any kind of emotions once I met him again but then here I was in just less than ten minutes in his presence but already acting like a nervous wreck. That was never supposed to be part of the reactions that I make .
This was never supposed to be me acting this way before me . I hoped the rehearsals that I had done for that long time could work but here they were not even helping me for a single second .
“Wow! I can see you are still the timid silly girl .” I did not know if that statement was a compliment or an insult. He is a kind of person who is so hard to predict . You would actually thing that he is meaning one thing and yet he is thinking about another thing .
“But that is how you have been all along .”my subconscious shot the nail right in my heart.
All this time, I was only reminiscing about one thing –if it was actually possible for me to move amidst the rain to my work place but I knew that I could actually act like a complete psych but I still wanted to get out of here . I badly needed to get out of this car .
I was slowly beginning to suffocate .It was actually not the usual suffocating where some one is being killed but inside I was in this kind of suffocating that was most dangerous. One that could only be solved by me getting out of here forever . Me getting away from him forever.
I heaved a sigh of dismay and regret for having entered into his car . Why did I have to make a mistake that I had promised myself over and over that I would not fall into the trap any more set by him .
I tried to focus ahead at the rain that was falling peacefully on the street as the cars drove mostly in the same direction like they were a presidential convey . My prayer was to get to the building and get rid of the man who has actually been the only one who has seen my nakedness. Something that I regret as he did not deserve anything like that.
“So you will not say anything , is it a boycott that is aimed at me?” He said coldly . The usual coldness of his course .
I opened my mouth once again wondering what to tell him but once again as it had been in the past I was betrayed by my mouth that would not say anything .
To my luck , when I looked in the opposite direction I was right at the building “Mapeera Towers” one of the most luxurious buildings in the city . My dream was actually nearing .I was soon going to get away from this jerk ass of a man . I just hoped that my manager would not fire me for getting there late . She has always been a nonsense person of course .
That comforted me and I did not care about the cold hearted man beside me . I raised my hand to open the door but that is actually when I recalled that all the locks were automatic , I stopped the action but did not look at him once .
“Wow! so you want to do like you did all those times –running away .” he provoked me . He has of course not changed even a bit . He is still the arrogant sexy rich boy but I did not care about any of that .I was not staying in his filthy car any longer and that was for sure .
“I have to get out of this f*****g car!” I yelled at him to my own dismay . It was actually not my intention but I could not help it as I recalled everything that had happened.
“Wow! so you can even curse now . You are really a bad girl.” He went on to provoke me as he got closer to me raising his hand to put it on my thigh . That was never going to happen . I could be the cheapest w***e to let me sleep with me after what he did to me .
“I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE !”I yelled at him in a voice that I could hardly recognize as mine . This made him flash me a very shocked expression . Maybe he did not expect me to act that way . That gave me some inner piece that I was actually able to make him look that way .
However, he composed himself and was at it again, “I was never going to touch you …at least not a cheap girl like you .’’ He surely i had the ‘best’ words to hit me right in my heart .
“You see, I just wanted to tell you the real reason I broke you with you .”
“It was never about the reason you think , it was actually about you .” what did he mean . I did not want anything with him any more . I just wanted to get out of his car .
I just hoped he actually did not want to do the whole lot of his usual self that actually never left me the same at all.
