She steamed her Car and drove away as Larry stood staring as she drove off. Melona later had to postpone her journey that even due to a little disappointment. When Larry texted her that evening she told him she was available and that she’s still around in the same hotel. They later agreed to meet at the bar to talk.
They spent about 2 hours talking about Their past lives and achievements blushing and smiling with each other.
Of Couse Melona said so many lies so as to cover up her present life situation little did she know that Larry already knew everything he had to play along just to make her feel comfortable. He was the only one who had witnessed what Melina had gone through and so he made sure not to be too judgmental when he will confront her.

They had accepted that evening they were going leave for Bamenda in the morning with Melona car since her driver had issues and Larry needed a Ride they parked up that morning and took off .
