The President Broken Angel

One week and couple of days later. Jhonia was home when she received a call! She picked the phone off the table from between her sofas. The call ended before she answered. She then turned down the television, and sat up properly inside the extended couch.

“Is Nearce using a strange number to call me?” Jhonia asked herself ner phone rings again and this time she grabbed it and quickly answered it. “Hello!”

“Good afternoon Ms. Smith, we were hoping you could give us the review you promised. But please tell us why you return the UI Jacket? You liked it when you brought it, please tell why you have it returned even though we replaced it… We”

He continued to speak as Jhonia remembered the UI jacket and who she gave away after throwing it out.

“I’ll send my review right away, and thank you for the replacement.” Jhonia said because she knew clearly that it was Daeviann who returned it. She smiled after ending the call!

“Ever since the news a lot of people have been treated well, I was even called by a few reporters to have an interview with them, all of sudden I’m a celebrity.” Jhonia said to herself! Suddenly, she stood up and went to her room. After some time she returned from her room dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a pink arms length sleeve shirt, pink sneakers. She picked her phone and went out walking the hallway when she met Orean.

“Hey Ms. Jhonia, Mrs. Pinnock said you might need me because of the whole becoming a celebrity thing.” Orean said with a smile. Jhonia nodded as they began walking to and back to the elevator.

“I’m not the celebrity, they just hunted me because I was the one who unknowingly impressed her and she signed with Sky which was a success and I’m proud of myself. … I just wish my mom and dad were here to be proud of me too.” Jhonia said as she stepped on and waited for the doors to close! After the doors closed… The elevator went down, they went out to the car, she strapped her seatbelts. Orean drove off from Emlinns and on their way to the Pinnock’s. After time passes, Jhonia arrives at the house. Nearce was not there and that made her brace herself for when he came.

“I’m so happy and proud but Nearce might not be happy about this… I still disagree with you working but you seem happy and you’re doing great in a matter of two weeks, so as I said, I’m happy and proud that it’s what a mother should be and trust me… I’m… I cried so much that day when I saw these people talking about you making me so happy.” Mrs. Pinnock said then hugged her tight then released her a bit and rubbed her back. After a minute she completely released Jhonia. They spent time together till noon, they had lunch and talked about stuff, mostly things about Jhonia after lunch they were seated on the couch watching the television.

“Do you plan to come back to him?” Mrs. Pinnock asked Jhonia, who hesitated to answer her, she rubbed her palms down and up her legs.

“At first, I thought since I was his wife by contract and not by love and got married… A part of me loved him a lot even after all that he put me through that was until that day, when he came home and didn’t speak to us and I thought he overheard us, but I was wrong. I saw a message on his phone… “I have fun today baby. See you again, tomorrow.” I knew then that he is not changing but has decided to change them frequently this way, he won’t get caught or be seen in public because changing them continually they won’t get attached like the first one. I have decided to give up on him completely then, sorry.” Jhonia said to her, she began explaining to her why she had completely given up on Nearce. Her eyes rushed with tears as her throat felt dry immediately she got up!

“I’m going to get water.” She said walking to the kitchen Mrs. Pinnock sat in silence, as she had decided too, to let it go. She knew he would go back to cheating; she just didn’t know he would go back to do so, yet so early. Jhonia poured water into a glass returning to the living room, when she met Nearce standing there staring at her. Nearce mind rushed back to that day!

“JHONIA!!!!!! My wife! My own wife!!!!” Nearce yelled in his office after Azerjie left as it was put on the news, that Jhonia (his wife) took Azerjie from him, and is working for Sky!

He looked up at her in the present time, he turned to her completely. “Why?” Nearce asked and Jhonia drunk from the glass looking over the glass rim at him.

“Why would you work there? Of all the companies in the goddamn city, Wh”

“I don’t owe that to you Mr. Pinnock now, do I? No, I don’t. I do not, I no longer answer to you, my job is my job. My life is, my life, mine and not yours! You don’t get to tell me where to go and when to go. You took the rights from yourself long ago. All I ever wanted was you to love me, love me, love me. But it was so hard for you! Now you are asking me why? I was here being your good image giver of a wife. You needed me to use as your deal maker. The good image of a married man. I was here waiting for you and your love, yet you could only give it to someone else but not me. Now you have worked up, all that nerve and ego of yours, you have now over the week and few days to ask me why? Why? Does it hurt? You don’t even know how to lie to yourself before you try to lie to me, someone who pays attention to everything. From the start to the end you were just using me, your image ‘maker’ that’s all I was and ever will be to you, when all I wanted from you was your love, but you couldn’t love me… That’s all I wanted Mr. Nearce Pinnock contracted wife or not? All i wanted was for you to love me but even that was too much to give to someone like me, who is not only parents”

“Don’t you dare. That was not your fault! No it is not! Where did you go wrong in this? I have checked and I have not found it, from cooking to cleaning for him, a good goddam woman and wife you, you were more than perfect even when I said you shouldn’t, you did… And that’s on him because he let you go and not the other way around. Even now from work to home, if not, people might think you don’t exist because of your silent-ness, and likes for being alone all the time. So don’t you dare say you are parents’ less and poor because he will never forget to remind you that you are less of these but not anymore, you’re working and now you have me. Okay?” Mrs. Pinnock cut off Jhonia. Who was telling Nearce who she was and is, yet will always be to him. But she could not hold back that when Mr. Pinnock stepped in and got into their conversations. Her voice trembles from the pain that her son causes Jhonia, who was nothing but beyond perfect for him, but her eyes state clearly of her love and happiness for Jhonia. She will no longer let her son ruin what is left of her.

“I think I should head back home… I will see you soon, mom.” Jhonia turned around and stepped towards the table, putting the glass down. She held her head down for a second before looking up at Nearce who stood speechless from both Jhonia and his mother’s words. She then says before taking her stuff and tells Mrs. Pinnock will see her soon. “This right here was a woman who only wanted you to love her, then… But today? She’s just a contract wife to you. Like in the beginning so continue to tell your mistresses so.” Jhonia said, adding to his with a hand to her chest, she told him he can keep on with telling his mistresses that she’s a wife by contract. She stepped away from him, and left.

“I will no longer stand by you when I begged you to not cheat– In fact. I begged you to not do unto her like your father did to me, now she’s gone not because she hates you but because she’s fed up! And that’s what happens when a woman is completely fed up. Good night, son.” Mrs. Pinnock said to him after Jhonia left. Nearce was still standing there even after his mother had arrived in her room, he had heard the slam of the door shut.
