Crazy ain't it Good day read.cash people. I have not been able to write for awhile now. I'm back now and more active. I will be writing a story today, just one I wrote today "Crazy ain't it". I glanced at my mobile phone again, “22:46" and my boyfriend isn't back yet. I called him about two hours ago and he said he was stuck in traffic. Since then I haven't been able to reach him cause his phone is switched off. I'm not scared cause Howell's likes keeping late nights. I've been dating Howells for over a year now and I must say, he's every good woman's dream man. We met at my 23rd birthday party. He was invited by my friend's fiance. He offered me a dance which was more or less a romantic interview. I found out that he was 29 and a computer programmer. We exchange contacts, started late night chats, evening strolls, shopping together, surprising each other with gifts, seeing the movies together went on a few dates which was on one of those occasions he asked me to be his girlfriend, and since then, he never made me regret dating him. You might be wondering how flawless our relationship is but on the contrary, our relationship is not left out from having flaws. My very own flaw is being very careless. That of Howells is keeping late nights. At first I thought he was hanging out with girls but no. It's either he's still in the office till 10pm or he's with the guys talking business, sports and whatever. I'm not comfortable with this though and he promised that he'll change which he's already doing gradually. I'm working on myself too. I try hard to avoid social media and the TV when I'm in the kitchen so as not to get my food burnt, arrange my books immediately after use, create a special place for my laptop and so on. I also set alarms which reminds me to go get my clothes from the laundry. Our parents are aware that we're dating. I've met his dad and I'm yet to meet his mum since she's a very busy woman who travels out of the country for business from time to time. Peeeeepp! Peeeeeeeeeepp!! The blaring of Howells' car horns woke me from my thoughts I was too eager to meet Howells that I was careless to notice that that was not the sound of Howells' car. We planned on going to see a movie together and he asked me to wait for him at his place and I've been waiting for him for about 2 hours now. I threw the gate open so Howells could drive in but the car was just there.The headlights where very bright that I did not notice that wasn't Howells' car. I moved closer to the driver's door so as to ask Howells to drive in. The supposed Howells was putting on a face cap with his gaze on the windscreen. I paused for a moment because my boyfriend disliked face caps a lot. “Hey," I called and the guy turned to me. It wasn't Howells! Before I could say jack, I felt someone grab me from behind while holding my mouth I tried to fight but another person blindfolded me, tied my hands behind me and also tied a cloth over my mouth. I was thrown into the vehicle while I heard the gate being closed with force. I struggled to freed myself while I was being driven to an unknown destination. Lots of things ran through my mind, my Dad, my siblings, Howells, my mum, where are these people taking me to? Who sent them? How did they know that Howells wasn't back? I cried while I struggled but these guys were confident of the rope around my hands, they did not even bulge. Finally, the car stopped. I was pulled out of the car, we walked a few distance before I heard a door being shut behind me. One of the guys called someone on phone informing the person that the mission is accomplished What mission?" I asked myself while I sobbed. I was pushed unto a couch where I sat praying that my life would be spared. Then I heard a door being opened while someone walking in and shut the door again. I felt a touch on my face, it seems the person who walked in was the one who sent them and he's now examining my face. “Nice job guys" the supposed boss said. Huh? Is anything wrong with my hearing? “ You'll receive your payment in the next hour" he added. That can't be Howells, maybe they just have a similar voice. “Remove the blindfolds and free her mouth" he stated again I was happy, at least I would confirm my fears. My mouth was being released while I let out a loud scream. “Would you shut up!" One of the guys commanded “Tie up her mouth again" another added. “No no please, I won't scream again. What do you guys want from me? Please don't kill me" I kept saying while the blindfolds were being loosened. “ I'm a wrong target please don't hurt..." my words hung in my mouth as my eyes fell on Howells. “Howells!" I screamed and this time my mouth was being tied up again while I stared at Howells who was grinning. “You know what my dear Sophia," Howells started as he walked closer to me. I felt tears run down my cheeks. “ I once loved you but I've met someone who is more attractive and wifely than you are. I'll be getting married to her next week and I don't want you to show up at the wedding to do something funny” he added while he sat on the couch next to me. My heart broke, I stood up to go give him a hard kick on the face
