A new week had begun, it was known to Kate already that Jane was fired.
while she was waiting for her promotion letter, she decided to interrogate Aunt Kerry because she knew too well it was Aunt Kerry's doing that Jane was fired.
Impressive! Aunt kerry replied, what a mind you have developed she continued, so this the next thing in your steps to become a supervisor? she asked, heaven knows I'm not the kind of person you think I am, I don't just hate people like you think, I have so many bads that you don't even know but compared with those you know, I'm not bad.
I'll be packing out of this place tomorrow, I'll be assuming a new position at the headquarters and you will become the supervisor here if your letter ever arrived, so keep waiting, and while you wait, don't forget to clean up the supervisor's house since you may be the one to live in, and you might have a question or sorry some questions she said to kate who with heavy eyelids couldn't say a word as everything started becoming clear to her, she went out of her office shamefully.
Peter on the other hand, who is still missing Jane's secret companionship with him returned home from work and was welcomed by a letter from Jane, wow! Jane! he said happily and opened it to read.
He didn't even bother to check the address to notice a change, he skipped the address part and started reading.
"Hi, its been a while, I would reach you but I lost my hand held and couldn't retrieve the line, I know you must have missed me but I'm sorry.
I just used this medium to get to you so you can get to me as well, till I hear from you, bye."
Peter was so exited, at last I'll pour out my mind and someone will have a drink, where shall I begin? he asked himself, I shall ink everything I want her to know and though it wont be in a piece but two or three letters should do, i'll do that using the same medium and channel as hers, he picked his pen, got a full scarp and wrote a letter to the address he knew, he attached Jane's photo to it and sent it through the same express as the one it came from but unknowingly a different destination.
Meanwhile, kate was impatiently waiting for a promotion letter which will take forever to arrive.
At the closing hour the next day, a letter arrived for Jane, kate opened the door to answer the several knocks that woke her from her sleep, hello how may I help you? she asked, I'm paul from the telegraph posts express, please are you Jane? he asked as he show her the picture attached to the letter confirming that they share a stunning semblance, I have a letter to you from Peter Handerson he landed.
On hearing the name Peter Handerson she paused, and several thoughts came to her mind at the same time: Jane had already gone to meet his boyfriend after she was fired and I'm one hundred percent sure they couldn't communicate because she left her phone unknowingly and the line has been bared, she returned from her thought and collected the letter, oh! thank you I'm the one, i'll get back to him as soon as possible.
she sat on her sofa and opened the letter which read thus:
"Hi, I'm very happy that you sent the letter, I've been looking for a way to reach you, to pour out my mind as I have promised, to let you know who Peter and kerry really are and to let you know where you and kate stand in the scene.
As you see, there is a difference between love and infatuation, but they look alike, you almost can't tell which unless the result tells.
I'm not a nephew to kerry as you know, I'm her husband, she's legally married to me, we had to fabricate a story for you guys.
I had to bend to her wish because I love her and vice, the truth about me wanting to date you then was that I really didn't love you nor did I love kate that I actually dated but I needed a sex mate for a reason I'll tell you in my next letter.
Kerry is really not a natural that you called her but she had to do what she thought was right even though it seems wrong, I understand how you might feel about kate your beloved friend who was cheated, but i can't tell the reason until I see or hear your reply to be sure that our communication is as smooth as I want because my wife must not know about this confession, till I hear from you, bye"
Keta could not hold back her tears as everything now becomes clear to her, I wish I had listened to Jane, actually I listened, only that I didn't make use of her words, I thought she was jealous and wanted to have Peter in my stead, I was so foolish, so Peter had woo Jane but she refused, maybe she had seen the whole thing before it began, but she should have told me, actually she would but I never gave her the chance, whenever she try to tell me, it leads to misunderstanding between us, but why didn't Jane ever agreed to date Peter? she hadn't a boyfriend back then yet she denied peter, so that was why anut kerry hated her because she couldn't use her, I'm doomed.
All these she thought within herself through the night, she wept and wept as she couldn't sleep, she decided to know the end of his story, she wanted to know how it all began and the steps she took, she picked her pen and wrote to him so he could think the letter got to the right person, though it got to the right address, she really appreciated him in her reply to give him the urge to write more, she sent it using the same express his letter came from.
The next morning she went to her office knowing that no letter is coming for her, she wouldn't be a supervisor after all, plus a November mockery she'll receive from people around her about her relationship with Peter and Kerry, even if they weren't discussing about her, the shame within her will make it seem so, everyone would see her as a slut for the same reason, she would stop going to church for the same reason, perhaps she would change her denomination, now Jane is gone and she wouldn't have anyone to talk to for the same reason, if she tries anything funny, she could loose her job as Kerry could command that from the headquarters for the same reason.
