MEMOIRS OF A SCORNED LOVE PART 1
It was 6 a.m., the chirpings of the birds woke her up and Trish
was glad that what she woke up from was only a bad dream and not reality, she
was covered in sweat even though the air conditioner was still on and working.
There he was, lying beside her, still deeply asleep, she stared at him in
admiration, he was still as handsome as he was when they first met, his snores
have now become music in her ears, she lets out a weak laugh as she remembers
their first night together and how she used a pillow to cover her ears from his
loud snores. “How and when did he change
so much? “, “what can I do to bring back the Jake I fell in love with?” she
asked rhetorically. “Wake up girl! Get
out of bed and go get the day started, you don’t want Jake to wake up to meet
you in bed at this time” she told herself as she sprang up and out of the bed
into the bathroom.

She looked forward
with enthusiasm to her day at work as she pulls into the parking lot of the
company where she worked as a sales executive. Here, she gets a smile back
without making an extra effort to impress anyone, her colleagues have become
her second family. Just watching everyone go about their daily activities was
unusually fascinating to her, this was one of the very few places she could
relax and completely be herself, Life didn't seem so fair but she was thankful
still.
The hours went by so fast Trish did not realize so much time
has passed already, she glanced at her watch and screamed in dread “6:45pm
already?” why did the day end so soon she thought, She would give anything to
extend the work hours so she won’t have to get home early. “Ah Ah, it’s not that
bad Trish” she shrugged as she packed her bag, shut down her computer and
walked to the car park. The very pleasant head of company security smiled as he
uttered a “good night Ma” just as she drove out of the premises. She prayed
silently, “Dear God, please don’t let this evening be another disaster”.
