A One Way Path

"Who was the man I saw you with earlier today", Gary asked her as he stared at her in a suspicious manner. "Oh Jamie, he is a colleague...such a nice man", she replied and smiled.

"Did she just smile?" He asked as he thought to himself..."why did she smile, does she like him? Is something going on between two of them"?...the thoughts kept coming which started to bother him.

"Are you cheating on me? Do you like him? You don't love me anymore? Tell me!", he yelled demanding to know what was going on with anger in his voice. "This isn't the first time you know, I saw you together some days back going to have lunch together. Yesterday, he drove you home after work and today....what the hell is going on Mitch!", he had began to loose his temper.

"I can't believe you are saying all these....you think I would cheat on you, you don't trust me? He is my colleague for Heavens sake", she replied feeling so shocked by the outburst.

"You must think I am a fool right? Is it because I have lost my job and I can't care for you the way you want anymore? Is that it?", he started to move close to her...then grabbed her arms tightly. "Is that it? You lying bitch...so I am not enough for you anymore", he continued on as he hurt her.

"Let go of me, let me go you are hurting me Gary", she began to plead feeling so scared....just then he pushed her to the ground where she hit her head on the table accidentally and cried out in pain.

Like a reset button, Gary realised what he had done...."Babe, I am sorry I don't know what...are you alright?", he immediately tried to help her up but it was late.

"Don't you dare touch me, don't you dare", she tried sitting up after which she stood. "I can't do this anymore...I can't continue living like this", she said and left. Apparently, it wasn't the first time he had hit her because of his insecurities but this time she has had enough.

"Babe...babe...babe, I am sorry I have just been frustrated lately...the no job thing, you taking care of me...I have no excuse please I am sorry", he pleaded.

"You keep saying that every time you hit me...I also get tired too, I get frustrated, I get stressed, I am human too Gary. No, I can't do this anymore, you might end up killing me next time and I don't want to take that chance. I have tried my best and I hope it works out well for you", she said and left.

"Mitch please, don't go...babe", he knelt down begging, she was not going to listen this time.

Few days later he got a mail which contained a letter of appointment and another letter attached to it from Mitch.

Letter Reads...

Hi Gary, attached to this letter is a letter of appointment for a job I have been trying to get you for a while now. I wasn't sure you were going to get it that was why I was constantly on Jamie's neck to make sure it pulls through which was why you always saw us together.

I never cheated on you but only wanted what was best for you and I didn't tell you because I wanted it to work out first so as not to get your hopes high just in case. Well, you got the job now and I am glad it worked out well. Make good use of the opportunity and good luck moving on in life.

----- Mitch



As he read the letter, he felt ashamed of himself...he regretted what he did more and began to slap himself. He then vowed to work on himself so as never to make such mistake again.

In life, we are quick to judge others which end up costing us people who really care about us. We let how emotions or temper get the best of us...which most times blindfolds our eyes from seeing the good in people. Sometimes it could be as a result of stress from work, frustration from what life throws at you and other things included ....forgetting that others also have their own fair share of life games.

It may not be easy but we should try to patient with people around us...control your emotions, don't be so quick to judge and keep a positive mind always.
