Chapter||31

The whole chapter is a flashback

June 28th 2017

Kamiya lounged in the restaurant that Kairo had planned for their anniversary for damn near 3 hours, she sipped her red wine trying to keep her composure and stop herself from crying.

She rang his phone for the 11th time today and as the last 10 times, he didn't answer and let it go to voicemail. This had become a routine for the past few months in their relationship. He would explain they should go to a nice, fancy restaurant and Kam would get all dressed up and excited since, this is what she longed for in their relationship in a long time, just to be let down when he didn't come and pick her up from her house.

Kamiya couldn't believe she let it get this far, to the point of where she was used to coming last in Kairo's life.

As she sat waiting for him for only 20 more minutes she started to reminisce on when everything was perfect and going so good for them, which was at the start of their relationship.

She remembered that day like it was yesterday, the twinkle in his eyes when he said he loved her was now replaced with a blank stare, Tears started to run and blur her vision as She got out of her seat and exited out of the restaurant.

Her hands shaking as She tried to grab her keys from Gucci bag. Kamiya tried to keep her composure as She wondered what could have possibly happened for him to forget about their anniversary but she had a clue on what it could be.

So many thoughts were going through her minded as she was driving to his house.

Did he forget?

Is he cheating on me?

Are there other women?

This wouldn't have been the first time he cheated on her anyway, but yet somehow her she was back at square one.

The ringing of Kamiya's phone bought her back to reality as She looked at the caller ID then answered it.

"Hey mom," She greeted Kairo's mother, Saniya as soon as she accepted the call.

"Hey, Kam didn't think you would pick up since it's y'all anniversary,"

Kamiya's heart ached as she confessed that because how does his own mother remember but he doesn't remember.

"Ummm actually he didn't come, I think he just forgot," She mumbled and tried to blink to stop herself from crying

"Wait what, What do you mean he didn't come and that he forgot," She let out a bit upset with her sons' antics. She couldn't believe he was doing all of this to Kamiya when she didn't grow him up to be like that.

"Uhh, yeah I tried to get a hold of him while I was waiting for him but he didn't answer"

"I don't know what's wrong with that damn boy, Darling I'm soo sorry" she attempted to apologise knowing how her sons' relationship was since Kamiya had come to her multiple times with speculations.

"No it's okay mama, I'm over it" Kamiya fabricated.

"I know you're not, but let's change the subject".

"Thank you"

"So does that mean you're coming to get Liyah,"

"I might but first I'm going to go see what's up with him".

"Oh okay, I love you and be safe," She said.

"Love you too mama and I will, Byee," I said as the call ended.

As Kamiya pulled up in the driveway she through all his cars to see if any were missing but she couldn't, meaning that he was home which made her even madder than she already was.

She exited out the car with her bag on her shoulder and dig through them while she walked up the long driveway to look for the key that Kairo had given her.

As she unlocked the door her eyes scanned the area to see if she saw anything out of the ordinary, in which she didn't. But as she travelled up the stairs in the corner of her eye a single black heel caught it, she blinked a few times to figure out if she saw right and when she realised it was a heel, a heel she had never seen.

The worst came to mind.

It was like as soon as she saw the heel moans could be heard throughout the house and confusion was spread across her face as she continued to creep up the stairs with tears beginning to build up in her eye as the moans grew louder and louder.

"Yessss daddyyyy," Kamiya beard the unknown girl moan.

"Right thereee,"

"You like that baby," That was it for Kamiya, she knew it was Kairo's voice, I mean how couldn't she, that was the voice she had been hearing for damn near every day.

The noise was coming from his room and She was beyond frightened to see what was happening behind those doors, even though Kam know what was taking place, she just didn't want it to be real.

She creaked the door open to find Kairo deep in a females guts doing stuff he should only be doing to her.

Tears cascaded down her face as her heart sank to the bottom of her chest. She covered her mouth to stop the sobs from being heard as she tried to get a vision on who the female was.

She finally got to see her face and a gasp left her mouth as realisation set in on who that girl was, she was who he told Kamiya not worry about.

One day when they were out shopping at the mall, they ran into her and she was all friendly with him and he claimed that she was just a friend and she had nothing to worry about her because 'she was a friend from back in the day'.

That was a lie

Right about now Kamiya couldn't even keep her sobs in and She soon let out a heartfelt scream.

Kairo turned around frantically and as he saw Kam's face and noticed it was her he looked as though he had seen a ghost.

He hurried and got up to try and walk towards her apologising but she quickly turned on her heel and ran as fast as She could to her car, trying to get as far away from his as possible.

She finally got into my car just as he reached but she luckily locked the door just in time.

"Baby listen it was a mistake"

"I didn't mean it"

"It just happened"

"I'm sorry"

He tried to plead his case but she knew he was only saying these things because he got caught.

She put my car in reverse and backed out his driveway as he stood there looking like a lost puppy. She tried not to think about it too much as I made my way to pick up Aaliyah from his mothers' house.

I should've seen this coming.

I saw all the signs.

I knew he was cheating, I just didn't want to believe it.

25 minutes past as she finally arrived at Saniya's house. She checked me in the mirror to see if it looked like She was crying, thankfully it didn't, exiting out the car before knocking on the door waiting for Saniya to open it.

"Hey mama", I greeted her with a hug.

"Hey, darling,"

"I just came by to get Liyah"

"Oh yeah sure baby, Liyah" she shouted fo Aaliyah who was in her play area that Omar and Saniya had set up for her.

"Your mama here,"

Soon tiny feet could be heard which was shortly followed by Aaliyah appearing through the side running towards me.

"Mummyyyyyy" she shouted as she hugged her legs.

"Hey baby, you had fun with granny"

"YeP" she replied while popping the P.

"Well I'm glad you did, now go get your bag, so we can go"

"Okay," she said as she ran back off

"So what excuse did my dumb child say now"

"Oh he said he just forgot"

"Hmmm," she hummed giving me a look as if she knew Kamiya was lying.

"All done mummy" Aaliyah said as she came running back and stood beside me.

————

As Aaliyah was sleep Kamiya took this time to admire her daughter on how much she looks like her unfaithful father.

I'm leaving him for good now.

You can't deal with the emotional pain he brings you.

Nobody knows what you go through.

The things he said to me, I start to believe them.

I've had enough I need to get as far away as possible from his toxic self and this town.

The voices in Kamiya spoke to her as she sat there feeling nothing but heartbreak.

She carefully placed Aaliyah on the sofa as she went upstairs to pack their bags.

As Kamiya was packing everything into the car tears wouldn't stop flowing down my face as she reminisced on everything he had put her through in the little amount of time they had known each other on this earth.

I can't believe I stayed.

I gave this man my everything and he basically threw it all in my face. He's the man I love. He taught me everything I know. But now I have to do it all alone.

She finished packing all the important stuff and got Aaliyah situated in the car, she reversed out of her driveway and started driving. She didn't know where she was going but she knows that she wanted to be far away from here as possible, maybe not forever but for a little while to clear her mind.

Her phone was ringing constantly by no other than Kairo himself, he could call but not come to her house and try and apologise more.
