*My Muse*❤☺
*_Chapter 13_*
*_Natasha's POV_*
It's been a week now and no word on June.
I hope he's not done something crazy. Did I do this to him? Oh God Please protect him. I was pacing back and forth in my room.
I called his parents and friends again. Still no word.
I became really tensed. I couldn't even eat. I was really scared and worried.
I decided to pray again. I've been fasting and praying on his head for three days now. I just hope he's fine.
After praying, I took my phone and went through my messages and mails to see if he sent anything but there was nothing.
I came across Oscar's mail. He sent it three days ago but I didn't feel like talking to anyone till I see June.
I've also been ignoring April. I just didn't want her comments on this. I just want my June back.
*Oscar's POV*
"Oscar you've still not touched your food", Mabel said to me and I snapped out of my thoughts.
I've been really worried concerning Natasha. She's still not replied my mail yet and I can't tell if she's fine or not.
I wanted to go to the hospital but I didn't want to pry too much, so I'll just wait till the day of my appointment with her.
"I was just thinking of certain things",I said to Mabel.
"Mmm, okay", she said as usual, not asking further questions.
"Please eat your food, we have to get ready and go see your mum", she said.
"What?" I asked.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten. It's our anniversary today babe and you promised to take me to your mum this time for me to prove to her that I'm worthy of being with you. This might even be the best time to let her know that we're engaged", she said, smiling.
"I don't think it's a good idea. Let me go alone today and explain things to her and then I can take you to her another time".
"Mmm, okay. You've forgotten that today is our anniversary right?" She asked me.
"I did remember and I got you something", I said and I went to my room.
Yeah, I did remember our anniversary. I was the one who asked her out, so I do remember. Today made it a complete three years of our relationship.
I took out the wrapped gift from my wardrobe and walked back to the dinning room.
I placed it in her hands and she unwrapped it quickly. She was really excited.
Her excitement vanished when she revealed the gift and I got confused.
"Anything wrong?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"Thank you Oscar", she said giving me a side hug.
"You don't like the gift?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"I do. It's just that.....", she tried saying but I cut in.
"You expected more? C'mon Mabel I customized that bracelet for you", I said to her.
"Yeah, I know and I love it. I also got you something", she said and she gave me a box. I took it out and I smiled on seeing it.
It was a pair of shoe.
I already had something similar to this and she didn't know obviously, but I appreciated it. It's the thought that counts.
"Thank you so much, Mabel", I said hugging her and she smiled. This time it was real.
I took my seat and finished up with my food.
Today I was going to see my mum and talk to her about Mabel. I just hope that she understands me this time.
After visiting her, I'll have to take Mabel out because it's our anniversary.
************
"Mum, you would have to accept her because we're engaged", I said to my mum and get eyes widened.
"Yes mum. We'll be getting married soon", I said to her and her faced changed from an angry look to a sad look.
"Oscar why can't you just marry a good Christian girl".
"Mum, she's a Christian".
"When was the last time she went to church, prayed, read the bible or do something which emulates Christ".
"I don't know. She doesn't have to do it in the open for me to see. At least she dressed decently and she's a good girl. She has a good heart and she goes to church too. Mum she's changing. Just give her time".
"There years isn't enough for her?"
"Why do you dislike her so much?"
"I don't. I really like her because she's a good girl. But I don't want her for you. You can't be a strong Christian and marry someone who's not. Didn't you read what Paul said in the bible concerning this?"
"I know but I believe that she just needs time", I said defending her.
"Okay, a word to the wise is enough".
"Mum, don't worry. I'll be fine".
"Okay. Have you eaten? " she asked.
"Yeah, I have", I said, smiling at the fact that she dropped the topic and didn't throw tantrums.
We kept on talking and my sister walked in.
On seeing me, she ran and jumped on me, hugging me.
Sonia was 19 years but she still acted as a kid around me and she was still a kid to me too.
"Hey baby girl, how are you"?I asked her.
"I'm fine. How are you too?"
"I'm fine. How's school?" I asked her.
"It's fine. We've already started out exams".
"Really? So soon. And why are you home? aren't you supposed to be in your hostel?"
"Mum refused to bring good to me, so I came home for it myself", she said, glaring at my mum.
"Mum?!" I exclaimed.
"What? I missed her and I wanted her to come home🤷🏽♀", my mum said and we all laughed.
"How's Mabel?" My sister asked.
"She's fine", I said, smiling.
"Happy Anniversary though", she said, grinning.
"How did you know?"
"On instagram duh. Mabel has posted your pictures all over. And yeah congratulations on your engagement. Saw that one too and you didn't even bother to tell us. Or mum did you know?" She said, looking at my mum.
"No, I just found out oo", my mum said.
"I'm sorry Sonia. We were planning to visit you in school and let you know".
"Mmm, I see".
We all kept on talking and after a while, I left.
*Natasha's POV👩🏽*
I was in my room, trying to get some sleep when I heard the door bell rang, I quickly rushed down the stairs and when I opened it, I saw June standing there.
"June!!!" I exclaimed.
I hugged him really tight and stepped out from the way for him to come in.
"Where have you been?"
"We need to talk Tash", he said.
"Yeah, but right now, I need you to rest and i'll get something for you to eat", I said pulling him to the sitting room
"I'm fine Tash, we just need to talk right now", he said sounding frustrated.
"Okay",I said sitting and he sat opposite me.
"Tasha, I think we have to call off the engagement",he said.
