*My Muse*♥️☺
*_Chapter 16_*
*Natasha's POV👩🏽*
I was in church focusing on what the pastor was saying when I spotted June.
He looked really happy and calm for someone who just broke off his engagement.
I looked away and tried to focus on the word.
It was difficult coming to church today. I wasn't ready to face June and I wasn't ready to face the people in church. Especially those who looked up to us.
We were the 'goal-couple', and now we were just there.
April and my mum had to motivate me to go. They promised to sit by me and be by me incase people throw questions at me.
After the service. I got up quickly to leave but I couldn't because my mum and April failed me.😑
"Tasha, I have to meet with the kids. Just wait here and I'll be back", she said running off.
"Tasha, I'm going to speak to the pastor. I'll be right back and you have things to do too . Be bold and go for the youth meeting, if you see June act civil. If anyone throws a question at you, smile and answer them with a smart question. You're a psychologist, do something", she said, smiling at me and she left.
So much for they'll be by me.🙄
I sat there for a while and then I decided to go for the youth meeting. I can't let this hinder me from doing what I have to do.
When I walked into the room, everyone turned to look at me and they kept staring till I took my sit.
"You're welcome Tasha", June said, smiling at me.
He was the president of the youth group and I'm the vice-president. That's one of the reasons why I couldn't skip.
He spoke for a while and the secretary came forward to give the announcement.
I turned to see where June was sitting and he was sitting by Freda. Seeing them made me get hurt all over again.
June and I always sat together. I honestly couldn't concentrate but I tried to.
I was called forward by the secretary to say anything I had to say.
Honestly, I had nothing to say. I was so busy during the week crying that I didn't check up on people and follow up with what my executives were tasked to do.
I stood up and spoke from where I was sitting. I didn't go forward, so everyone had to turn to face me.
I didn't say much, I just encouraged them to keep it up with the good work, I told them to keep praying and having their quiet times and I reminded them of our evangelism this weekend.
When I was done, I took my seat and they applauded.
I couldn't stop myself from looking at June and Freda. She was just all over him and it was irritating me.
The meeting finally came to an end.
I got up quickly to leave and some ladies came to me.
"Hey Tash, hope you good?" One of them said to me.
"Yeah. I'm awesome. I hope you all are good too?" I said to them.
"Yeah, we are. We heard about you and June and we wanted to be sure that you're fine", one of them said.
"Well, has God ever left his people to be alone?" I asked them, following my mum's funny advice.
"No", one of them said.
"Yeah, so I've got God and I'm fine☺", I said smiling at them. They also smiled and left.
I quickly rushed to the door but June called out my name. I wanted to ignore and leave but I just couldn't do it.
I turned around and he started walking towards me.
"Tash, it's been a while. I hope you're good", he said, smiling.
"Yeah, I am. What about you?"
"I'm good too by God's grace", he said, smiling and I smiled back.
"So how's work?" He asked me and I responded.
He kept on asking all the hows and I kept on responding. When there was nothing more to say, he moved on to the delicate topic that I clearly didn't want to talk about.
"How are you holding up Tash?, he asked with a concerned look.
"I don't want to talk about it June", I said to him.
"Okay. I just wanted to be sure that you're alright", he said.
"Well, I am. I can see that you're alright too. You really bounced back quickly", I said, faking a grin.
"What are you talking about", he asked and looked in the direction of Freda.
"Oh. It's not what you think. We're just friends. I'm honestly not ready to get into any relationship right now".
"Well, it's your life now. I have no problem with what you do with it🤷🏽♀. I'll see you around June", I said to him and I walked away
*Oscar's POV*
I was on the phone with my big brother, the second born.
"You're getting married before me? No way", he said, laughing.
"Yeah bro. I am".
"Wow, I'm so happy for you and I'll be repping live, what's the date".
"In two weeks time. On the 18th", I said to him.
"Wow, so soon. Have you told mum and Noah yet?" He asked.
"Yeah, Noah will be coming and mum wants to see Mabel and I. She's finally coming around", I said to him.
"Wow, that's great. We thank God, but I hope that you really want this. No pressure of any sort", he asked.
I wanted to tell him everything but Mabel and I decided to be quiet about it. We didn't want anyone to know till after the wedding. My brother would be really disappointed if I told him about it too.
"Yeah bro. I'm ready. No pressure", I said to him.
"Okay, congratulations. I'll be there live",he said.
"Thank you Vincent, I'll talk to you later", I said and I hanged up.
I went to my room to make sure that Mabel was ready.
"You ready?" I asked her.
"Yeah", she said, smiling.
"Are you going to my mum's place wearing that?" I asked her. What she was wearing was a bit provoking.
"What's wrong with it?" She asked.
"Are you being serious. We're going to my mum's place. Do enjoy it when she complains about you? And you don't even wear things like this, so why now?" I asked her, getting frustrated.
"Oscar please stop yelling. I just wanted to wear something tight to cover the baby bump", she said to me.
"Baby what? Your baby is just a week or even less than that", I said to her.
"My baby? It's out baby, Oscar!!" She yelled.
"I'm sorry about that. Just change and let's go", I said and I left the room.
*******
We were at my mum's house eating.
She was actually acting civil and asking normal questions.
"Mum, your food taste so good. I need to learn from you", Mabel said and my mum smiled.
"Thank you. Do you want more?" My mum asked and she nodded.
"Mabel are you serious? This is the third plate you're requesting for" I said.
"What is it Oscar. You know I don't eat like that. It's because I'm pregnant", she said and she widened her eyes when she realised what she said.
