THE last birthday
It was a few days to my son's 6th birthday and the last minute plannings were almost done except for one thing and that was entertainment. Everyone knows that for kids, the best entertainment is a clown. My cousin connected me to an expensive clown by the name Cherry-bom, but it was no biggie after all money wasn't a problem to someone of my status.I did a few talks with cherry over the phone and he seemed to be more than sobber.
On the awaited day everything was set by nine and parents were dropping off their kids. Just looking at my boy made my eyes tear . I was sure I would be there to watch him grow but fate had decided otherwise.Cherry-bom arrived at around 11:30 am and without wasting time we started the party 🎉.
The kids were energetic running around almost knocking some asults down. After the cake cutting, it was time for Cherry to perform and the kids were more than excited.Me and a few estate women went to chat on the usual women's business.
At 5'pm the kids were picked up by their parents and that marked the end of the party. " Mommy can I go over to Jack's place for a sleepover, I promise I'll be good." " Okay baby make sure to Carry your pyjamas" and with that hr ran into the house and came rushing out with a bag and hopped into the Watson's car.
Everyone was gone except for Cherry.He was facing the wall. "Hey Cherry not enough money I can add more." He turned to face me and his eyes were as red as tomatoes from crying." It's nothing ma'am it's just that......" Then he broke down again his shoulders shaking. Since I was a kind soul I welcomed him into the house for a little bit , to get him to calm down. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE.
I got in first. Just when I was about to head to the kitchen for a glass of water to offer the guest ,I had the clicking of the knob meaning the door was locked from the inside. With a confused expression I turned to Cherry who was now wearing a huge demonic smile. " E.. enough party tricks Cherry , O.. open the door please." I said with a quiacking voice.
He removed the mask."Do you remember me". My blood ran cold and my face went pale. Infront of me was the high school dork that was obsessed with me to the point where he one day snuck into my room at midnight and I ensured he was arrested. "You know I loved more than anyone. I would even take a bullet for you but you never saw that did you. You put me behind bars. You thought they were gonna hold me forever! you're not as smart as I thought. You know what hurts me most, you went ahead to even get married and have a child with a person that is not me."
He took out a gun from his pocket."Cherry.... please don't do this it was a misunderstanding.... please we can talk...... let's just talk... please." I begged with all I could." Oh, you thought I was gonna shoot you. I'm not that merciless." He aimed it at my wedding picture and shot the bullet right into my husband's head.My heart was beating at an abnormal rate. "I was stupid to think that a dork like me could end up with a babe like you. It pains me to ..."He made quick strides towards me and before I could react I felt a sharp pain running from my stomach to my spine and when I looked down I saw a knife in my stomach."...say goodbye in this manner but if I can't have you, then no one will." He twisted the knife and inserted another one into my chest.
I looked into his eyes and I saw vengeance, pain and hate grinning at me. I felt as if I was weightless and life was leaving my body slowly then my eyes closed
