Chapter 21
Alex
It's been a few days since Robert the guy who helped me carried my shopping the last time wants to invite me out, I don't really understand what he wants from me but finally I decide to accept his invitation today evening, he invites me to my favorite restaurant I don't know how he found out or if it's just a coincidence
I am the first person to be surprised to accept an invitation from someone I don't know, someone whose first name I only know but deep down inside I have the impression that he doesn't means no harm and that I can feel safe with him
His familiar air also arouses my curiosity, I'm going to go to his meeting, we'll see what he wants from me, I don't do anything at home, I'm very bored, this outing will allow me to take my mind off things
When I finish taking my shower, I look for a pretty sexy little black dress, accompanied by barefoot high heels, for my hair I decide to put them together in a bun, tonight I want to look pretty for myself, put on make-up to please myself, I want to feel beautiful for at least one evening, I've been neglecting myself for too long today I want to feel like a woman and beautiful
When I finish getting ready, it was already 8 p.m., I go to tell my mother that I'm going out, she doesn't fail to utter a long curse accompanied by a few insults that I don't even calculate, when I get off my taxi was already there
I bought myself a car but mom confiscated it, to avoid problems I prefer to continue with the taxi, otherwise this woman risks showing me who put the water in coco
When I arrive at the restaurant he was already there he took a table and was waiting for me, when I get to his level, he gets up and pulls the chair out for me so that I can sit down before taking a seat in front of me without missed giving me a kiss on each of my cheeks
Robert: Good evening!
Me: good evening!
Robert: Are you taking a drink truck? I took the liberty of placing the order for us
Me a little embarrassed: the water will be fine, no problem
They bring me my water and we stay a few minutes without speaking before he decides to break this long silence.
Robert: you must be wondering why I insisted so much on spending an evening with you, I hope you don't mind me talking to you
Me smiling: no, I don't mind, I must admit that it worked for me a little and I was very Hesitant to accept this dinner
Robert: You don't have to worry, I noticed your wedding ring and I know you're married, I am too and father of two children
He pauses before continuing: I haven't told you the whole truth about me, and our meeting was not a coincidence, I've been trying to get in touch with you for a while
Intriguing me: I don't know what to say the...
Robert: Don't be afraid I mean you no harm quite the contrary
Me: I felt like I was being watched and followed for a while but I thought I was getting paranoid, what do you want?
Robert passing his hand over his face: before I start you must promise me that you will listen to what I have to say to you from beginning to end
Me intrigued: no but you scare me, speak...
Robert: promise me first
Me getting impatient: ok I promise
Robert: it's been several months since I discovered your existence, my father before his death admitted to us that he had another child who lived in France, something that no one ever knew, he knew how to hide it from us until the end, I started looking for this sister that I never knew, it was very complicated since her address that my father had was no longer his new address, a few weeks ago , I finally found it
Scared me: and what has it got to do with me?
Robert: this sister that I have been looking for all this time, this sister that we have always wanted to have, and that life has given me now is you Alex, I am your brother Robert JOHNSON
Me in shock: No, but what are you talking to me about? I never had a brother me if not I would have known, the little memory I have of my father there was no brother or any other family in the equation, you are probably deceived person
Robert: yes, it's you Alex daughter JOHNSON and mother AJAVON
Me standing up: I tell you that you have the wrong person I am not the person you are looking for
Robert holding me by the arm: please sit down
After a few minutes of doubt I end up taking my place even if I'm in shock, troubled and can't accept what he's telling me I still sit down to listen to what he has to tell me
Robert taking my hand in his: my father before dying, confessed to my brother and me that we had a sister of whom we do not know the existence, it is a sister that he had a few years after us but he had to choose between losing us and graduating you so he chose to keep his wife and children, only my mother and yours knew about the story
Me controlling my shaking way: so he decided to abandon me, I always wondered if I had done something wrong, if I had behaved badly so that my daddy suddenly left and left me with mom, never to hear from him again, he disowned me overnight why he decided to change his mind now?
Robert: I can't pretend to understand what you've been through all these years but today I found you and I would like us to become a family and on top of that it fulfilled the last wish of my dad
Me: he decides overnight to impose on me a family that I don't know for what purpose? what makes you think that I want to know the family he chose by abandoning me
Robert: I know our father behaved badly but he is still our father and we must respect his last wishes
Me in a harsh tone: what does he want? to attend his funeral?
Robert: no he wanted to be cremated what we did, our father was a diamond dealer, he decided that the parts of his businesses and all his property should be divided into three parts for his three children
Me with a nervous laugh: what the hell do I give a fuck about his money? I didn't get his love, he thinks to compensate all these years of absence with money? you think you can buy me? i don't want anything from him you can keep it all
The lane behind in a calm but authoritative tone: what are you doing here?
Alexander
I was at the office when the man I put in to watch Alex contact me to tell me that it's like she's put on her 31 and has just taken a taxi, I ask him to follow her and verdict she was at the restaurant with another man, when I learn of her my blood takes a turn
I leave everything I do and I go to this restaurant, she dared to bring it to her favorite restaurant and I who thought it was a place of ours, I was wrong, which ends up blowing me up of rage it is to see this guy take my wife's hands in front of everyone, they looked each other in the eye like two lovers, even me who is her husband I did not have the right to her
My wife with another? no but am I dreaming or what?
Me inducting for the second time: what are you doing here? in this restaurant with a man
The man in front of her: who is that? you know him ?
stammering Alex: uh...that's...that's my husband
Me: as you can see she's my wife, and I'm not going to let her continue this dinner with you, are you getting up on your own or am I taking you by force?
She knows I'm crazy enough to do it
Man: she won't go anywhere under duress
No but I'm dreaming who does he think he is to interfere between my wife and me?
Alex: robert forget it, i'll contact you another day
She follows me to the car in silence, I take the direction of the house, when we arrive, I make her get out of the car by the arm towards our room
Me: how dare you?
Alex with an indifference that drives me mad: what are you talking about?
Me: How dare you dress like that and go to dinner at our restaurant with someone else, you forget you're a married woman right?
Alex: stop all this cinema, what's your problem? I do what I want and I have no explanation to give you, don't you understand that I don't want this wedding anymore? leave me alone, I'm going home
I don't know where this anger leaves inside me but I explode, I jump on her before sticking her to the wall
Me: what do you want? what is he more than me? can he make love to you better than me?
Smiling Alex: If You Knew
Me sticking even more to the one like we're gonna become one person: can you feel me? you feel me don't you? I intend to let you know what a man is tonight, little insolent...
