Her little secret

Chapter one: 

Her pain

There were sounds of running water from the bathroom.

Kamara sat up from  the bed with so much guilt, hatred and pain.

She picked up her dresses on the ground and put them on  one after the other.

He came out after taking a shower, in silence he wiped his body with his towel and sat down casually on his bed, with his horrified face, he gave a mocking laugh.There was a streak of cruelty in his eyes.

         " You can never be with him," he  exclaimed. 

Chill  poured into her heart, She froze.

         "No.. please, no." She shook her head madly, yet could not cry out loud as tears softly dropped on her dress.

Kamara turned her head and stared at the old man with her dark eyes. 

He was  wrapped in a bath towel, revealing his old folded ugly chest.

" Oh." Kamara suppressed the pain in her chest and tried to make herself seem natural. She managed to get up with her face covered in shame and guilt.

     " Please let us be,"  she said as she cried with her face down.

He looked at her in distaste.

   " You are a whore."

After forcing himself on her he went on accusing her of being a whore?

Kamara wiped her tears lying to herself,                           "This can't be true. It is a lie." she said.

He walked out and slammed the door, leaving her in the room. 

She wiped her tears.

Kamara made her way out, on arrival at her house she felt so much pain and all that could come to her head was to give up in life. 

    " I certainly would  fight to be with the man I love." she screamed out loud.

She changed her clothes and  took the bus to the hospital..

As soon as kamara entered her department, she overheard  her colleagues talking about  Dr. Jason son's engagement.

       " Kamara, do you know that Dr. Jason's son is  getting engaged?" He is such a handsome man who studied engineering in France!"   Dr. Mary said.

One of Kamara' s  colleagues  took out her phone enthusiastically, searching for the photos of Dr . Jason's son as it was earlier uploaded in their group chat, and showed them to kamara.

      " This is him, is he not handsome?"

Kamara put on a fake smile.

       " I don't know him." she replied.

        " Oh yeah, he is very handsome." She added.

Kamara averted her gaze and smiled.

She suppressed the ache in her chest  and looked away.

      " I forgot that you are a loner who doesn't pay attention to outside matters."  One of them said to her.

Her colleagues   kept talking.

Kamara raised her head  and looked in the direction of Dr. Mary.

Dr. Mary is her closest friend and colleague in the hospital .

Kamara was  surrounded by her colleagues as they discussed an outing they hope to attend at noon. 

She didn't show interest in the conversation and  immediately put on her white coat  and went on her rounds in the outpatient department. 

This was her way of excusing herself, unfortunately Dr. Mary followed her trying to find out what troubles her.

If only anyone knows what she is passing through, they would have dropped any form of conversation regarding Dr. Jason and his family.

Dr. Mary walked up to her , grabbing her hands she said to her..
