Tom was shocked to saw Cindy and he had a lot of questioned to asked Peter as Peter finally approached him.
"Peter, did you truly brought that pretty yellow lady here?. Wow! seems you have already fallen in love with her" Tom teased as Peter approached him, but Peter wasn't smiling to Tom.
Tom didn't knew if Cindy already told Peter all the trash talked he spoked about Peter behind his back, and Peter wasn't happy nor in a good mood to explained to Tom about anything too either.
Peter was sad, disappointed as he knew even his parent in the village expected the best of him, but here he was suffering in the city as he refused to went back home to his village, to face his parent
Peter's phone had spoilt and he knew if he fixed it, or got a new phone, his family wouldn't allowed him to rest, and he went back to sat on where he normally slept every night as he saw the rest of the homeless people staring to him, but he wasn't happy.
They were expecting to seeing him smiling and beaming that he got a pretty rich lady, but he felt useless and like a servant to her, even though he knew Cindy genuinely liked him, unlike the rest of the other women he had seen and came across with, that were only lusting after him.
Peter cussed inwardly as he sat to the floor mat, frustratedly and Tom pretentiously walked back to meet Peter to found out what happened.
"Peter.." Tom slowly called.
"Just leave me alone Tom.. Am in no good mood right now" Peter replied, as he stared away from Tom and Tom decided to let Peter be.
Tom shook his head and left Peter alone, while Peter felt to cried.
He was a man, but he didn't believed in spirituality as been the cause of his problem.
Peter was sad and still not able to cry nor let it all out in tears, As a tear drop started dripping down from his wet sad eyes while he faced the wall, not wanting to stared to the rest of the people staring to him.
He was heartbroken and he felt bad knowing him and Cindy wouldn't dated, as Cindy ran away from him, seeing how truly he was poor to the core.
***
Cindy arrived home and remembering that her mother had told her that she would be going out, Cindy still sat in her car as she drove in and parked.
She couldn't believed what her eyes saw, as tears was still freely rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
She loved Peter genuinely, but seeing he was poor as a church rat, she felt sadder than she could explained and her heart torn and broke into pieces.
"First time am falling in love with a guy, and he doesn't even amount to anything, Gush!" Cindy hit her forehead on her steering, as she had switched off her car engine and she shook her head sadly and cried to her steering.
Cindy finally sniffed and sat up properly and she thought to washed off her teary eyes with their outside tap, as she didn't needed her mother to questioned her on where she went too.
Stepping down from her black car, Cindy immediately rushed up to the wall tap, by their compound fence, and she leaned over and switched it on as she bent to washed up her teary face.
Luckily she didn't had any makeup on her face, and so she washed her face quickly to brighten up her face and relax her teary eyes and she sighed and decided to took a walked behind their backyard, before she would went inside to face her mother, so her face would've eventually calmed and brightened up a bit.
Cindy decided to thought about the few sweet moments she shared with Peter. The moment she had bumped into him, and he hugged her strangely, when she had ran backwards afraid of the black man that she was requesting of him.
Cindy smiled as she thought of how his broad chiseled chest and arms had hugged her small frame as she wasn't even up to his shoulder. And she sighed and just then, she heard her mother called out to her name, "Cindy, Cindy, where are you?!."
Cindy quickly comport herself, and she turned back as she walked back to the frontage of their mansion, walking away from the garden at the backside, that she had strolled off too.
Mrs Bola was gradually losing her patience as she stepped out to meet with Cindy so that she could rushed out in searched for the yellow handsome man that made her felt wet.
All the prominent staffs that she had at her husband's company. None of them had made her center dripped wet like how the yellow handsome man whom she had admired at the market place, made her felt.
She knew the yellow man was poor, so she thought to credit him heavily with money, even though is just for a night stand with her.
"Cindy! Where did you went too?!. Is almost late. And am hurrying out now and I won't stay out longer. If anyone comes home to ask of me tell them that am not home and to give me a call instead" Mrs Bola instructed as she quickly walked over to her car, still dresses in her red gown.
"Okay mom" Cindy replied and she saw her mother didn't even had the time to stared up to her face, as her mother entered into her car, and drove out from their garage, in her Lexus Jeep and ignited on the Jeep engine as she drove out of their compound.
Cindy sighed and finally walked back into their mansion, entering into the living room and she stared to Esther, whom was busy watching the television in the living room.
"Good evening, Aunt, No, I mean Cindy.. Welcome home" Esther greeted and Cindy's brows knotted at her but didn't replied, as Cindy rather walked to the stairs and climbed on it, as she went upstairs to her room.
Reaching her room door, Cindy sighed and frustratedly pushed her bedroom door opened, and walked in, and dropped her purse back to her bed, feeling like a hen that was pour warm water on itself, but she was rather soaked and drowned in her sadness.
She sat and finally laid down on her bed, thinking about Peter again.
"What am I going to do now to help him?. I shouldn't had ran away from him?. Am sure he will be feeling bad right now because of my actions. Hmph, but I still like him though. Maybe I should get him a new house to take him out from the slump first.
No, Peter cannot continue to be sleeping there and besides, if I don't help him, another lady will" Cindy laid on her bed thinking and she finally decided to bought a new house for Peter.
Satisfied with her numerous thought, Cindy smiled and decided to contact a new house agent to help her to got a new furnished house for Peter. And she said,
"Besides I love him. Tomorrow I will contact the house agency to help me find a befitting house for the two of us. I will purchase it in his name, but I hope he doesn't cheat on me while am away and at work. Am sure that way he will love me the more and stay loyal to only me. Gush!, He's so handsome."
Cindy kept smiling and blushing to herself as she thought about Peter while laying on her back and facing the ceiling.
"I just cannot wait to hug him tomorrow and apologise to him. I know I owe him a serious apology for my rude behavior in running out from him, but am sure he will understand me and know I didn't do it on purpose.. He's my boyfriend now and he cannot continue to sleep there.. under bridge.. No way!."
Cindy finally stood up from her bed and she walked to her wardrobe to took out her nightgown as the night had fallen gradually with the evening sky showering darkness around.
Cindy smiled a little pleased with the thought of buying a new house for Peter and keeping it away from her mother and father as obviously she wouldn't married Jeremy.
Cindy sighed wondering where her mother went too, as she remembered her mother didn't even told her where she was rushing out too, as she was also sad when she arrived home and she didn't wanted to stared to her mother's face directly.
Cindy stripped and finally walked to her bathroom to bathed, feeling a little relax with her final decision on gifting Peter a new house.
