*My Muse*❤☺
*_Chapter 12_*
*Oscar's POV🧑🏽*
I was on my way home when my mum called and asked me to get something for her.
Whenever I go shopping, I always get things for my mum too.
My two older brothers are out of the country. It's just me and my little sister in the country with her currently. So I'm always the one doing stuff for her.
This time, she forgot something and I had to go back to get it.
When I arrived, I someone almost ran into my car and I had hit the brake really hard.
The lady stood there without moving an inch, so I thought I had hit her.
I got out quickly to attend to her and I realised that it was Natasha.
"Nat are you okay?" I said, holding her shoulders and looking around to be sure that everything was fine and there was no single bruise, but she had tears on her face.
"Nat are you okay?" I asked worried.
"Please get me out of here", she said. I quickly took her to the passenger side of my car and helped her get in. I also got in and drove out.
"Where do you want to go?" I asked her.
"Is there any garden close by?" She asked, wiping her tears.
"Yeah, there's one. You want to go there?" I asked and she nodded. So I took her there.
We had to pay a gate fee, due to the state she was in, I just paid it without her knowing and we walked in.
She walked towards the benches and sat there.
I didn't know what to do or if I could sit by her. I just watched her as she looked into the thin air and then she broke into tears again.
I had no choice than to walk up to her.
"Can I sit?" I asked her and she ignored me and kept on crying.
I sat by her and took my handkerchief out. I gave it to her to wipe her tears but she just kept on crying and this time it became really loud.
Everyone started staring, but I didn't feel uncomfortable. If this is how she wants to pour out her pain, I'll leave her to do it.
She got up and started pacing.
"I've been there for him, I've tolerated him, I've let go of every single thing he did to me, I've done silly things for him,I've cut out a lot of people from my life for him, I've done a lot, but he keeps hurting me. He doesn't listen to me, he's always doing what he thinks is best. And now just a simple thing I asked him to do and he's being defensive about it. I'm tired. I can't do anything about it too because I love him so much. If I break up this engagement, I don't know where to start from or how to mend my heart. Oh God, why's this happening to me?" She yelled and kept on crying.
The security men were walking towards us but I went and stopped them. I tipped them off to leave her alone.
I went back to her and I don't know why, but I just hugged her and comforted her.
I didn't say anything, I just ran my hands on her hair and comforted her. After a while she kept quiet and I released my grip off her and we went back to the benches.
We were quiet for a while before she spoke up.
"I'm really sorry for worrying you, Oscar. I know you see me to be crazy right now. I'm supposed to be your psychologist and here I am acting like a patient", she said, looking away.
"All I see right now is a lady who's sad and needs someone to talk to. I know you're a psychologist, but you're human. Even doctors who treat people receive treatment from other people because they're human. Pastors too listen to other people's sermons and word because they know they're not perfect . I can go on and on. You're human Nat. Don't be ashamed to seek help or act the way a sad and hurt woman should act", I said to her and she smiled.
"Thank you Oscar. You're a nice person", she said.
"Anytime. So what will you do about your fiance?" I asked her.
"I don't know. I'll just keep praying because I've done everything I can. But he's just getting worse".
"Hmm?? Everything?? Have you tried leaving him before? I mean not permanently. Just lash out and tell him if he's not going to change then you can't be with him. If he's truly the one for you, he'll come back to his senses and come get you. It doesn't always work but it did work on me. One time Mabel pulled that on me and I really went crazy. I had to get her back and work on my flaws", I said.
"Mmm, true. I know about that trick but I'm just scared that it's not going to work. He might just leave me for good", she said, entangling her fingers. I could tell that she was really troubled.
"You don't have to be. If he leaves you, you'll just have to accept it and move on. It's going to hurt but you can't just settle for less because you're scared. Just hope in God and he'll do what's best for you",I said and she nodded.
"Thank you so much Oscar. I'm really grateful that we had this talk", she said, smiling.
"Anytime Nat", I said smiling too.
"So how are things with you and Mabel?" She asked.
"No, we're not doing that. It's all about you now. Resolve your crises first and then we can resolve mine".
"C'mon Oscar. I'm your psychologist. Remember?" She said, laughing and I couldn't help but notice that she was really beautiful.
"Well, you got yourself a patient/psychologist too", I said and she kept on laughing but we were interrupted when someone cleared their throat.
It was her friend, April.
"April, I'm so sorry for running off like that and leaving my stuff with you", Natasha said, getting up.
"Don't worry, I already paid for them. They're in my car waiting for you to get them", April said, smiling at her friend.
"Please permit me to steal my friend away", she said, grinning.
"Oh feel free. She's fine now", I said to her.
"Thank you so much, Oscar. I really appreciate it", Natasha said.
"You're welcome",I said to her.
"Alright then, I'll see you at our next appointment", she said.
"Yeah, our next appointment😉", I said winking at her and she was confused at first but later she realised what I meant and laughed.
"Bye Oscar", Natasha said, waving.
"Bye Nat. April bye", I said waving at her and she waved back.
When they left, I decided to sit and think about my life too.
I thought of Mabel and everything we've been through. This whole engagement thing started freaking me out the day she said yes at the hospital.
I was wondering why she said yes. Was it becuase I was hurt or because she was scared that Monica was going to take me away from her ?
I love her but she takes me for granted sometimes. She's been really nice lately though. I just have to watch and see how things go. I'm not fixing any date yet till I see that these changes are permanent.
I finally got up and went to my car. I got in and drove off.
*Natasha's POV*
It's been three days since the incident at the grocery shop occured and I've not heard from June.
No one knew of his whereabouts. Not even his parents or Freda.
Yeah, I asked her but she also didn't know and it got me really worried.
Where could he be?
