Throughout the one hour ride we had in his car there was an air of silence and of cause I presumed that to be part of his surprises too.

      When we arrived at his apartment, he got out of his car without uttering a word and walked towards his two bedroom flat and left me sitting in the car. I realised this was more than the ordinary, something had gone wrong . Alfred doesn't react this way unless something had happened. I got out of the car and walked towards him.

     "What happened Alfred? Stop acting like a child and talk to me".I said angrily.

 He turned to look at me and I saw a tear slided down his face. I was shocked and I wondered what I might I have done to make him sob.     

   He dragged me again into the house and pushed me towards a sofa, I screamed out of fear.

      "Why did you lie to me?" He asked, he leaned towards me as if  I was a criminal been interviewed by a detective. I stared at him terrified, I have never seen him in such a rage.

     "Answer my question Enny....why did you lie to me?" He shouted, he removed his belt and held it up ready to beat the hell out of me. 

      "Alfred...calm down, I..I..I don't know what you are talking about". I pleaded at the sight of the belt.

       "Who is George to you?...why did he proposed to you? Why did you lie to me?".He shouted again, he was already sweating and panting

. I looked around for a weapon to defend myself if I might eventually need one but there seemed to be none in sight.

     "George is just a friend to me...I wasn't expecting that proposal and he had never tell me he loved me. Please believe me Alfred..." I pleaded and this time I couldn't control the torrent flow of my salty tears streaming down my swollen eyes.

      My friends do narrate to me how it feels to be hit or slapped by their lovers and since I have never experienced one , I just laughed it off and found it barbaric for a man to do so. I didn't see it coming until I felt a slap landed on my beautiful face, I almost went dumb.   

    "You are a bloody liar...you little ingrate. After everything I have done for you, I gave you my love, affection, commitment,time,care and all you could do is just fool around with another man? This relationship is over. I'm done". He threw his belt away and turned away from me. Another man? When did George became another man because the last time I checked, George was his best friend. 

       I wept like a toddler and I had no one to console me. I wondered how he saw George when he proposed to me at the hotel because mum told me he had been in our house when I was away. 

     "I know every details of what happened at the hotel Enny. I'm not stalking you but you can't do anything in secret and think I won't find out" he said as if he read my mind. I stood up prepared to leave and as if he sensed that ,he proceed to lock the door.   

     "Why did you lock the door? Leave me alone and let me go..."I sobbed.     

     " I will let you go  but not this night. It's not safe for you to leave at this time. Don't worry I won't touch you. I had wanted to give you this but I know it's a waste now". He dropped a ring box on the table. I stared at it, so this was the surprise he had for me. He had wanted to propose to me too and maybe if I had read his message before George's I wouldn't have been in this situation. Hmmm...I had lost him because he will never trust me again, he thought I lied to him. What an irony!

       I couldn't remember what happened next after he said goodnight to me, all I know was that there was blackout and the next day I opened my eyes in the hospital. How I got to the hospital was another puzzle I sought to solve.
