Regret

THOUGHTS BEFORE RED WINE

It was midnight already, and everyone was laying still in their beds after the quarrel. They may seem to look okay but their hearts felt like a market square. I then imagined what each person was thinking;

Collins: ‘If only I told him to still give me the money and later find a way of not paying, I don’t think things would have reached this point’ I thought Collins would say.’

Rupert: ‘So after all I have done for Collins and his family, this is how I get repaid, with insults? Someone I looked after his family while he was on official duty in Texas for 2 years. Why didn’t he tell people I still gave him $300 after he said he had gotten the loan from his friend? He even had the right to say I don’t care about his well being, hmmm this life.’

Felicia: ‘I hope Rupert doesn’t think too much of this event, this too shall pass dear Lord, I know and believe and pray it passes soon. Don’t let Rupert take this to heart. Hmmm I hope Collins doesn’t regret pointing those wrong fingers, and Rupert was almost getting his wife a job. Hmmm’

While I lay in bed thinking what they would be thinking, I received a text from my girlfriend ‘Something tells me you’re awake, I hope you don’t drown yourself on Red Wine tonight, sleep like a seed, I love you’. I deleted the message and reach for the fridge to drink my left over Red Wine.
