Silvia POV: 

My mum was reaching out a wedding invitation to a woman I recognized as her friend when Celine and I walked in...

At the sight of that oxygen fled from my lungs ....

The smile Celine and I had been sharing about my stupidity earlier all turn into sprinkles of heavy terror..

My hands and legs were unbelievably shaking as I stare down at the invitation card .....

I felt  Celine grab my arm, my mum was speaking but the sinister and inflection of their tone were totally inaudible to my ears ...

I try convincing myself this whole stuff was a nightmare, I thought I could move on with this but am I really strong enough to,,,

This kind of pain of getting dumped and dragged through the mud by the man I love got the whole world spinning around me ...

Guess I had given my heart too young to know better ....too young and naive not to realise when Nate had started lieing to me...

All I ever did was believe and dance to every promises he made , am just too stupid, very stupid ...

 

Whatever was happening around me became so blurry, I knew I couldn't stop the tears from rushing down my eye,  I couldn't keep it,

Oh God how Hard I try ,,....

Do I really deserve this humiliation?? Do my family really deserve this disgrace Nate had inflict upon them do they...??

Where ever he is I just wish he die a begger,

The moment I found myself on the sofa with a pillow supporting my head ,,,

I knew Celine already told my mum everything as I met with with her supporting gaze and that of Celine who was sitting not far from her,,,

My mum was staring down at me as this odd feeling rushed down my throat ,

I was surprised all I saw in her eyes was just concern,

No fear ,no fright, no tears or this worried look on comments people might make about her daughter fiancee dumping her just two weeks to her wedding ...

If I were nothing as strong as my mum and dad then who did I take after....

My mum is a kinda woman with virtue and this type of inner spark...she is a perfect guidian, vigilant and scrupulous...

A woman who reads mind faster than a computer ,,, she always predicts and it comes out exactly as she said...

If she wasn't my mum , I would have viewed her as a wierdo or maybe a fortune teller, 

Right from the start it was like she knew   nothing was gonna come out between me and Nate ...

She had directly told me he isn't the one ,,,

Like he isn't the one am suppose to be with.....the saying that I haven't met him yet or something ...

"He isn't your future husband Silvia"

But guess anything for my happiness she's ready to accept them........,,.,...,now with this look on her face ...

I realise she knew all along this was coming, she knew it and had warned me for it but guess I was too blinded by love to listen ....

If he wasn't my future husband then who is he,,, 

Where the hell is he when a man had done this to me ...

Where the hell is he when some disgusting pig had rapped me 

Surely we can never meet cause am done ............, totally done for love, 

Because true love itself is a treacherous feelings littered with carefulness ...and if its gone it always cast its share along with it. ...

Now that my heart had been ripped apart ....

Now that love has totally torn my heart apart ...I doubt we would ever meet , cause all i feel now for men was irritation and disdain.

. They irritates me completely

..everything about their existence is disgusting ...

I sniffled and swiped a hand beneath my nose ...I gritted my teeth against the urge to cry ...

.lord have mercy , if I started to cry all over again ...if I let this dam crack of tears starts to flow once more then it would only proves how weak am I ...

I just wish my mum hadn't seen me like this or I hadn't fall so weak in front of a guest like that ...

"Mum"

My face sobered instantly while I struggled to speak ..but the fear that my eyes would gave out on me made swallow my saliva ....

The remaining words was lost, jammed somewhere in my throat with this bitter taste of terror ...

I battered with my eye to convey my distress instead ...

"Silvia am so sorry dear" my mum said softly ...

"But that invitation card you saw a while ago wasn't yours and Nathans"

I stared at her suprisingly, if it wasn't then whose is it, I was blinking rapidly now ...

"Mum the prints , what about the prints ..."

"I went behind your back to stop the printing Silvia "

"What!!!!why would you do that mum"

"Or" I gasped at a sudden realisation..

"Mum you knew there won't be any wedding . you said it cause you knew it all along."

She thinned her lips and nodded...

What kind of human being is my mum, is she a witch or something ...she sees these things and stayed strictly to it till the end ...

"I never told any of my family or friends you were getting married , so if you are worried about what people would say, you don't have to Darling, all we have to worry about now is you"...

My jaw tensed as I watched her lips as if she just said something not heard from this world..

I snugged against the chill making its way into my chest while I cluttered with rapid breath. ..

" you were rapped" she continued 

"Yes mum"  I was squeezing my face to tears now but the smile I saw at the corner of her lips made me frown..

At that moment something pieces together in my head , it sounded like a screw or something ...

Did she just smile , did she just....

If it wasn't for the striking resemblance I would have said this woman wasn't my mum .,,,I was rapped and all she could do was smile   ....she should be crying for Christ sake ...

She opened my blouse slowly and bowed her head for a moment ...she sighed and stare up at me ..

"Celine "

"Yes ma'am " Celine answered.

"Silvia isn't going to the hospital"

"What !!!!"" Celine and I both shouted at the same time .. 

"But you said hospitals are cursed Silvia , why do you wana go now 

" but how do you know I said  that mum "

"When you were little you wrote it on almost every walls and corners of the house,, or have you forgotten  "

She stood and went ahead to carry a keg that contains some yellow herbs ,,,

And there I met with Celine eyes who raised her brows towards my mum and back at me ...

"Your mum is wierd Silvia" she said softly ...

She wouldn't be the one to tell me this,, deep down I knew she is indeed really weird and it's like starting to get me really sacred

"Yes she is" I frowned at her 

When my mum walked towards me with the yellow herbs I instantly knew that wasn't mearnt to flush the stomach ....

"Mum that's not the right herb"

"Yes it isn't dearest, this is mainly used to strengthen the womb , since you will carrying a child soon " she said shaking the keg so as to mix the herb in it together ...

At the sound of that,, Celine and I stood up at the same time and rushed to sort comfort in each others arms,

Celine and i stared back at my mum as if we just saw horror ..

I was panting hard this time when I asked  the question ...

"How many of them rapped me mum"

"Not them darling, just one " she raised a finger and shook on the keg once more ..

At the sound of that Celine and I shouted together 

"What!!!!!!! How did she know that!!!!"

Celine was the first to race out ..

We were now seen running round the sitting room as if something horror was pursuing us ....

"Celine wait for me " I shouted ...

Celine ran to the kitchen and back as we jammed head together..

This whole time mum was infact smiling at our charade 

"You need to use this herb Silvia , there is nothing you can use that will flush that stomach of yours , the baby is already in there hiding at a corner "

At the sound of that Celine and I shouted once more ..we raced out this time , to the backyard, ...into the training room and back to the sitting room...

We were panting hard as we both shouted once more ...

" Am dreaming Celine  ,please wake me up"

"Silvia nooo I can't "

"Why!!!!"

" because my head is spinning  . ..

Mum on the other hand was sitting at the sofa ...she was getting herself busy with her quilts ,, while she watch and smile at our display ...

Celine stood up again and raced out .

"Wait for me Celine" I raced along with her .

Today was the day I was totally convinced my mum has this kind of gift  ..

A gift that pridicts almost everything around her, she reads the weather like some sort of scientist... She knew the type of person you were before you tell her ...

She had even knew my dad was gonna die of some sudden illness then...she had cry so much cause trully  it happens exactly as she had said..in poetic term , she is some one I would refers to as the bliss of the immortals ...

I just wish I knew how she does all these things ..

Running out of breath , we came to an abrupt stop back in the sitting room ....Celine and I both eyed my mum sharply 

"Mum how do you know all this, it doesn't make sense , I mean......"  I was panting so hard while I hold Celine arm for support

" I know darling because I know ,, so you don't have to get scared okay " she was smiling the whole time 

Celine suddenly raced towards my mum ,she knelt all gasping and panting while she asked the question

"Mum the guy is he big, you know broad, cute , tell us mum"

My mum stare back at Celine and smile 

"Mmmmm he is just beyond what words can tell " 

I got shocked when Celine raced towards me , she grabbed my two hands and started jumping up like some six year old kid would ...she dropped my hands and raced back to my mum ...

"Mum again, tell us where we can find him"

"Darling humans only see apparition of things mmmmm, only God knows that, I don't "

Celine was laughing like a cat , oH how much I hate her when she laughed like that

At the moment we heard the door bell, before I could get it

Celine stood up and hurriedly raced towards it 

God I wonder what she ate this morning ...

And there , three of my friends were seen sexily dressed as they came in shouting ...

"SURPRISE" they raised up different colors of sexy bikinis after exchanging greetings with my mum who was laughing all along 

"Whats this rubbish for " I frowned at them 

They came forward to hug me about the news of Nathan ...I could see from their eyes they were indeed really sorry ...

"We always knew that guy was a Frick , a total fool " they all ranted as they send Nathan different kinds of curses..

"So babes " joy changed the topic while she raced two bikinis higher ...

Joy was the youngest of us all ,, a lot taller and slimmer who has this dream of being an hot model someday....

Gosh all of my friends were nothing like me ..

I was the most foolish , naive and the least social 

" guess what guys we are celebrating this new year at the athletic pool "

Diana was shaking her hips happily suddenly Celine jumped on her with all louder scream ..

Diana was a girl with more bigger dream who has this interest of dating the son of a billionaire, she is classy and way too wild for her age ...

"Atlentic pool all the way " anabell shouted

The eldest among us ...at twenty four, she kinda has this obsession on ballet dancing, she cares a lot about her body than any thing in the whole wide world ..a lot s*xier and preety ..

Guess who is gonna be there girls ...Diana said shakingly 

"Who" Celine who was as eager as a tiger asked curiously

"LUCAS TYSON "

"WOAHHHHHHHHHH"

I had to cover my ears at their scream..

This girls are going crazy , totally crazy I can't believe this 

I was jilted by my fiancee and all they could talk about was some Lucas Tyson ....

"Why the scream girls, is he a celebrity or what "

"More than a cebrity" Diana shouted happily 

"He is the son of a billionaire, the richest and the most handsome in the whole of south Africa "

"So what"

I needed to get out of here , this girls are making me go crazy...

I raced towards my room only to hear Celine voice as she call out to me happily 

"You are going with us silvia whether you like it or not "

I had to shut the door of my room as their screams pierces through my ears 

They all raced for my door before I could put a lock on it 

"Leave me Alone ....leave me alone "

Those are the words I heard myself scream until they all landed on my bed ...

Rejoicing with the fact that they are gonna be meeting some Lucas Tyson  ..whatever
