Doris, I am sorry, I can no longer continue this relationship, my heart belongs to someone else.
Anthony! you mean you are leaving me for my friend grace?
Doris! Doris! her mother kept calling her but Doris was day dreaming about the heart aching beak up that just took place today between her four years boyfriend and her.
She just can't believe that all this while her boyfriend has been sleeping with her bestfriend behind her back until today when she caught them in the room she shared with her bestfriend having sex.
Not only did see catch them but her boyfriend told her bluntly that he was tired of her and would want them to end their relationship right there and now and while tears were flowing down her eyes like streams, her bestfriend Grace was just lying on the bed and looking at her like nothing just happened or like she wasn't caught doing anything bad.
All these years, she had shared with her so-called bestfriend about the attitude of her boyfriend thinking she was her bestfriend, all this while she had been listening to advice from her friend not knowing they were advice from a jealous and hating friend.
Grace couldn't just understand why all the handsome and wealthy guys she ever dreamed of having as a boyfriend always end up liking Doris and approaching her with the intention of marrying her but since Doris was as a innocent as the dove, she just couldn't accept them because she had a standard but none were ready to follow her standard until she met Anthony who was ready to do anything to have her as his wife.
Then what happened, Doris asked herself as she stared blankly into Anthony's eye like she was finding answers to her questions but their was no answer forthcoming. Grace was getting annoyed as the just couldn't understand the sudden silence between Doris and Anthony.
So she broke the silence, Doris, don't you understand English, Anthony just said he is no longer interested in you and he has someone else which is me, so go away and leave us alone to enjoy our life, she said with so much hatred.
Doris just couldn't say anything rather she turned to Anthony who was already getting uncomfortable with the way Doris was behaving he expected her to start throwing tantrums or perhaps pick up a fight with her bestfriend what he didn't expect was this sudden cold stare from Doris and the silent tears that kept falling down her chin like rain drops.
Anthony, Doris called, you mean you are leaving me for my friend grace? She asked.
Anthony couldn't reply her questions so she got into the house, picked up her bags, stuck in some clothe because she knew she wouldn't be coming back any time soon turned back and looked at the two people she once cherished with her heart and called her friends before leaving the building.
She hopped into her SUV car and drove off. With tears, she called her mother to find out if she was at home, without waste of time, her mom picked up the phone and told her she was in.
Doris drove to her mother's home which was in the outskirt of the city but before she got there, her mom was already waiting for her at the gate with open arms, Doris ran out of her car into her mother's embrace with tears destroying what's left of her make-up.
Mrs. Celine, who was Doris mother was a widow and had single handedly trained Doris, she knew immediately her daughter called her to ask her if she was in that something was not right so immediately she dropped her call, she brewed coffee in wait for her daughter and went outside to wait for her.
For more than five minute, mother and daughter stood like that, while Doris poured out heart by crying in her mother's arm, Mrs. Celine understood the unspoken words in her daughter's tears. She waited for her to cry to her satisfaction before she walked her daughter into the house.
And ever since then, Doris has been in a daze trying to figure out when the relationship between her best friend and her boyfriend who she was supposed to be getting married to in two months from now started.
Her mother have been trying since she walked her daughter into the kitchen to give her some coffee which she knew was her favourite to talk to her about everything that happened to her and has put her in such a state but Doris has not been able to put herself together to tell her mother what happened and how it happened.
Moreover, she knew her mother would also scold her because from the beginning of her University days, when Doris brought grace to their house to introduce her as her best friend, Mrs. Celine never liked Grace and had warned her daughter severally to stay away from Grace but all her effort to separate the two girls had been unfutile because Doris really loved Grace and took her like the sister she never had.
She just couldn't help but to accept Grace into her family and home but she always talked to her daughter and always made known her dislike for Grace but things turned bad after their University days when Doris got a job which was far from her own home, so she decided to share an apartment with Grace.
Mrs. Celine just couldn't do anything than accept the proposal and only prayed to God to protect her daughter from wicked and desperate girls like Grace.
Doris didn't know where to start from as she sipped her coffee and looked into the thin air, she actually had no option than to start blaming herself for not listening to her mother's advice but then, the deed was done. She just had to open up to her mother and tell her mother what happened that fateful day.
Doris didn't know what to do or wher to start from, she just couldn't belive her eyes, she wished all that was happenign to her were just dreams and would love to be woken from this bad dream.
She knew Grace to be a wild, and desperate person but what she didn't know was that Grace would go to the extent of sleeping with her own man. I guess she never saw this coming.
She put herself together and told her mother what she saw and what Anthony and Grace said to her in the shared apartment that her and Grace rented. Her mother just didn't know what to do as she cried knowing fully well the hurt and pain the daughter must be going through after encountering such thing.
Now, she is heartbroken, she just didn't know how to pick the peices of her life and start over again like nothing had happened. Would she be able to love again? will she be able to trust again? Will she be able to still be that innocent, cheerful and full of life Doris her colleagues and everyone knew her to be after this incident?

WATCH OUT FOR THE SECOND PART ON HE BROKE MY HEART!
Thank you for finding time to read my blog and see you on my next story
How painful. I do hope that grace's action won't make Doris change from the good and cheerful girl she was. Some friends can betray and this isn't always fair.
