Mummy I got you a new husband

RYAN’S POV

“Was I mistaken?” I enquired as I reflected on the night of the party; I could not seem to grasp the reality that Karl’s stated wife was not Sophie, despite everyone else saying otherwise. Her familiarity was something I could get off my mind so easily.

I tossed and turned in my bed that morning, reflecting on all that had happened and the fact that I had truly seen Sophie. When I reached home the night before, I expected to see Tana, but as usual, she was out late and had not returned home from her company’s work, or so she claimed.

I picked up my phone to call her. I dialed her number repeatedly, but the call went unanswered. I got into bed to rest and could not sleep as I could not get the thoughts off my mind.

Now it was morning, and as I was lost in my thoughts, my phone beeped, I turned to check who it was and it was Karl, my boss.

“You should go ahead with the meeting, I will join you soon.” That was Karl message to me that morning, He was supposed to meeting with some clients, but he had asked I go ahead of him. I knew just immediately, I had to get off bed to go to work. I tried Tana’s number again but it didn’t go through. ” I guess she would be home when I get back.” I said to myself, as I got off bed to get ready.

” But why was she with Karl.” I asked myself as I had a bath, I hurried up in the shower, my thoughts still puzzling about Sophie, when she came to me wishing I met the real Sophie, I was more convinced it was her, it felt like her. As I peered into her eyes when I shook her, I could see the pain in her eyes and that all she was trying to do were a charade of the real truth.

I had tried to get the contact of her Aunt to ask about Sophie, but could not seem to reach anyone who could get her number so I could call her. No matter what every one said, a part of my just wanted her to be Sophie, I guess that was the reason, I could not be easily convinced.

I got ready and left with my car concluding I would have to get to the bottom of the issue eventually. I was driving headed for the meeting, when u decided to get some coffee to start my day.

” A cup of coffee please” I said as to the sales person when I got into the caferteria. That would be $5, she said. ” Keep the change.” I mouthed to her after handing her the money. ” Thanks for this.” She smiled broadly as she handed me the coffee.

Just was I was about to held out, the chattering of a child who had come with her mother to get some coffee caught my attention.

” Mummy we should hurry!!” I heard a little girl say to her mother as she tapped her, she was a beautiful little girl and seemed really brilliant.

I looked at her with much admiration as I giggled, and turned to look at her mother who was trying to reassure her, they would leave soon.

I stared at her closely as they were at another line and being attended to by other sales person and realized it was Sophie.

” We should go Davis, so you will not be late for school.” I heard her say, but when I looked at the boy she was talking to, I realized it was Karl, my boss’s son. I knew that Karl did not have a daughter, but who was the little girl with the said Claire who happened to be Karl’s wife.

“Sophie!!” I exclaimed, but she did not seem to hear me as she was already out the door when I called out for her.

” Sophie.” I rushed out calling out for her but she had gone into her car and drove off. ” If she was Claire, how did she get a daughter?” I questioned myself as I hurried into my car, I follow her hoping for some clarity when I finally got to her.

” She is definitely Sophie.” I said as I trailed behind her, my heart pounded with a mix of fear and curiosity. It was as if an invisible force propelled me to continue following her every move and I was oblivious to the traffic light ahead.

Lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice when the signal turned red, abruptly halting me in my tracks. The blaring sound of sirens filled the air as police cars surrounded me. Handcuffed and bewildered, I was escorted to the nearby police station.

Inside the dimly lit police station, I sat on a cold metal chair, my mind racing with questions. “How did I end up here?” as an officer approached, I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of relief and anxiety. “But would they understand my intentions or label me as just another criminal?” I asked myself.

As the officer drew closer, I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself. I knew that explaining my actions would be difficult, but I had to try. “Officer,” I began, my voice trembling slightly, “I know it may seem strange, but I missed the traffic sign because I had to follow someone I believed had my daughter.”

” Your daughter? ” The officer’s asked. “No, I just think she is my daughter.”I said as I tried to explain the situation to the officer who expression had now softened slightly as he listened intently.

Encouraged by his response, I continued, recounting the inexplicable sense of familiarity and connection that seemed to emanate from the mysterious woman and her daughter.

Sir, I understand that it may sound unbelievable, but there was an indescribable pull towards her, I just wanted to find out if she was my daughter.” I explained earnestly.

Another police officer came up to interrogate me, asking why I had been following the woman. “I’m sorry, officer,” I pleaded, “but she’s someone important to me. I just need some answers.”

The officer laughed heartily as I explained, ” I could charge you for stalking since you confess to the crime yourself, but I would let you go with a warning.” Seeming skeptical, he eventually decided to let me go with a stern warning.

“You see, officer,” I said, my voice steady now, trying to make him see reasons with me.” I am not interested in anything you have to say, Alright. Never break a traffic rule and say you had to follow someone. No one cares.” He said finally.

As I sat in the cramped police station, my mind raced with thoughts of Sophie. ” How did she end up being Karl’s wife? And who was that little girl? “My frustration grew as I realized that getting answers would have to wait.

” You can go.”the officer said to me and laughed at my story as I left the station. Determined to uncover the truth, I decided I was not going to stop my investigations on Sophie till I confirmed that it was not her. I hurried up to the meeting as I was already running late and Karl had been calling. I was not sure Karl was going to take my excuse, so I hurried hoping I didn’t arrive to late for the meeting.
