Feeling the gentle touch once more, it was very comforting, but she could not stop the tears.
Glancing at her side to see if any one was paying attention to her crying or the elderly gentleman but the three other persons were resting there head back and there eyes were close.
Feeling the heavy burden bundling up inside, 'Lord, Alex must have thought I was heartless and uncaring as he keep begging me to open the door.
I am sorry about that, but it was the only way I knew how to deal with the problem at that moment.
Lord even You must be thinking I am a coward, but I had no strength to say good bye to him, and I was not ready to tell him Champ is his son, it wasn't a risk I was willing to take.'
When the train stop the elderly gentleman smile as though he knew everything I was thinking.
All he said was, "God, is the God of the impossibilities, so trust Him, He is experiencing your hurt right now, so don't throw in the towel as yet?
Do you know love have a tendency of causing this type of pain to the heart?"
Looking at him as he hurried away, 'Is it that he understand my pain, but how is that possible, and why it is that no one had notice him there?'
Looking at him go , when he turns around and wave at her then hurried along on his way.
Thinking, 'I wonder what Alex must be going through, or thinking right now? I know he won't expect me to cook knowing my foot is sick.' Seeing it was nine forty-five, Diandra took a taxi to her cottage.

It been almost three hours since he went into his office after he demanded that Melissa call the house and speak with her.
Melissa thought, 'She is not afraid of his grumpiness, but she knows something is definitely not okay between them because of his behavior.
Entering his office Melissa knows that the answer he wanted was not what she has. He has been on edge since he enters the office this morning and yesterday he was so grumpy.
Everyone in the office are on their peas and ques, all finding work to do afraid to even look at him.
Taking a deep breath before saying, "Boss I tried many times calling but the landline keeps ringing and she isn't answering.
Do you want me to go and visit her? Maybe she might open up to me, seeing we are friends now."
"Never mind Melissa, she has already made up her mind, and nothing you or I can do will change that stubborn ways of hers, I must also apologies for my behavior yesterday?"
Hearing her say, "I understand Sir, but she must be hurting just like you?"
"Maybe, I don't know what to believe anymore."
"But Sir, there must be a good reason for her not answering the phone, just supposed she is unwell, have her foot heal up properly?"
Waiting for his response but instead he just lift his hand and wave to me as though I was dismiss and he needs to think.
Slowly Melissa left the office, as yesterday unfold before her, he had locked himself inside the office and it seems as though he is going to do the same today.
He seems so lost in his thoughts and his eyes are red and swollen as though he never stop crying or haven't sleep the entire night.'
Pondering in her heart as she sits quietly at her desk, 'Is he ashamed to visit the locations because of what is happening?
'Oh Lord, this is what she was avoiding, that was why she was crying, now they are hurting each other, but I know they also love each other.'
Whispering a prayer, "Oh Lord, please intervene and help them, they are hurting each other, when love is supposed to make the heart happy."

Sitting in a chair near the window looking up at the sky pondering within his heart, "You know what Lord, I will really like to know why she was so angry?
It is not like I did something that could bring about that much rage? If only she would open the door then we could reason out the problem.
I am still baffled trying to understand way she has been behaving in this manner. I know now my attitude and behavior was not helping.
In fact I believe it had worsen the problem, putting more fear in her heart than when we met after the four years.
All that ranting and raving must have scared her to death, how could I be such an obstinate fool, never for one moment have I stop to consider how she must have been feeling being afraid of me.
Oh dear Lord, is she unwell as Melissa said? Father, have she eaten and how is she attending to her feet? It is still paining a lot or has it dry up completely.
I must call the doctor to get the report, when she didn't answers her phone, I had no choice but to send a taxi to take her to the doctor office.
Lord, not seeing her or hearing her is becoming very difficult, I has grown so close to her and these two night we were apart was very trying,
I was unable to rest well. Oh Lord please touch her heart so she will open the door, Lord I miss her so much.'
Dialing her number, but it went straight into voicemail, "Please answer your phone, I need to know you are alright.'
Returning to his desk once more pressing the intercom, "Yes Boss."
"Will you get Gomez to come in, we have to go on the job site."
"Boss, he went off duty this morning."
"Melissa, how is that possible?"
"Boss, check the roster on your desk, you will see for yourself."
"Melissa, according to the rustier on my desk Gomez will be off Tuesday?"
"You are right boss, that is why he is off duty."
"Are you saying that today is Tuesday, Melissa?"
"I know Sir, the days are going so quickly before you know it April will finish."
