Story: The President

I dunno what’s in the diary, but her reaction just got me feeling so nervous and scared on what she might have discovered.

Me: Why would you go through her diary? It’s so not right na, you’re invading her priv…

Mirabel: **cuts in** If I hadn’t gone through it, I wouldn’t have discovered this secret you both are hiding

Me: That diary must be containing her private life, please respect it and go keep it for her; I don’t want to know what’s in it please…

Mirabel: Do you even know what I’m talking about here? I’m talking about a lady professing her love for my man that’s supposed to be her friend. What do you know about this victor?

Me: Her diary should be her 100% privacy; I didn’t even know she has a diary till now. So… whatever it is you see in it is her privacy please Mirabel, stop all this doubts for it’s not helping matters at all. How can this help our marriage that’s coming next month? Please don’t give the devil a chance to destroy us

Mirabel: It would’ve been mare doubts if I had no prove, Fred warned me about something like this, and look what’s happening? From flirty chats to professing of love in a diary, that you’re the only man she loves, is that also just a friend thing? So you’re even the reason why she can’t have a boyfriend? No wonder! I thought it was about her being a good girl and a saint, not knowing she has my man at heart; Victor are you having an affair with her?


Me: Of course not!


Mirabel: You’re lying,,, there’s no explanation for this anymore! Fred was right all along


Me: Mirabel… I have nothing to do with her; I never had any intimacy with her even before I got to know you


Mirabel: You both are deceitful!


Me: How can be saying something like this? We’ve been together for four years and I’ve never for once proven to be unworthy in any way, how can I be having an affair with Promise, for what?

Mirabel: **silence**

Me: Could it be for $ex of which you and I agreed to abstain from because we know it’s not right for the unmarried? Or is it for love? Why then will I be getting married to you? It’s not making any sense can’t you see?


Mirabel: Don’t even imply that I’m insinuating nonsense when I the prove in my hand

Me: What prove? How can that diary be a prove that I’m cheating on you? It’s someone’s privacy for goodness sake. It could be her thought or something that she wouldn’t want anyone to pry and it could be very embarrassing to her if she finds out about this

Mirabel: Embarrassing? She should be ashamed of herself for professing such rubbish for you

Me: Mirabel what’s going on with you? I mean… this is not you, why the sudden temper?

(We heard Promise’ voice from the living room asking where is everyone)


Mirabel: She’s here **walking out of the room**

Me: Where are you going to? Mirabel don’t… (She slammed the door behind her)

Chai! What’s all this for goodness sake? Why is Mirabel changing all of a sudden? This is nothing but the hand work of the devil, the destroyer. Just when everything was going well, now Mirabel of all people is the one causing headache and nagging around on everything….. God have Mercy. I dunno why Promise could be so careless to forget something like that in the kitchen. I’m already losing the trusts Mirabel have for me, I don’t think she’ll be comfortable with me again, she’ll be suspecting my every move. So this how innocent people get accused wrongly? I really hope that we push through with the wedding and pursue our dreams instead of arguing and fighting unnecessarily with words.

Just then I ran after Mirabel to the living room where she’s already confronting Promise.

Mirabel: Promise what is all this you wrote in this your diary?

Promise: Why are you in possession of my diary?

Mirabel: You haven’t answered my question, what is the meaning of this love confession for
Victor who you know is my fiancé

Promise: Mirabel that diary contains my personal and private life with my thoughts which I don’t intend to share with anybody


Mirabel: Oh really?

Me: Mirabel please you have to stop this, she has no evil intention towards our relationship


Mirabel: Of course! The saint who is in love with my man will never have any evil intentions
Mirabel just start to annoy me for the first time since we started our relationship, this is not the Mirabel that I know, what has happened to her? Or is this her true colours? Definitely not! She’s been humble from the start, she’s shown me nothing but love, she’s always been there for me, she’s always ready to do anything for me, she’s ready to submit to me. This is all Fred’s fault! He was the one that started all these perils. I regretted hooking him up with Promise, he brought nothing but trouble which is now affecting my relationship with Mirabel.


Promise: **tears soaking in her eyes**

Me: Mirabel…


Mirabel: You know what? I’m stopping the wedding

Me: No Mirabel, you can’t do that please…

Mirabel: Yes I can and I will!
She said that then furiously rushed to the room. Then I started perceiving something smelling, the food is burning in the kitchen!! Somebody should just wake me up from this nightmare!!!
