No shame in defeat (o2a)

[Kayn]

*Kayn pulled his arm away, it seemed he had to stand stern.*

“Sumya, that’s not my problem. If you care about your husband and your family, then maybe you shouldn’t try to hop in the sack with someone else. Maybe take some time off and work on keeping your family together. You obviously have issues that need to be resolved, and I’m sorry but emotional baggage like that isn’t allowed on the Kayn train.”

*Kayn then thought to himself ‘Why me?’ as he waited for Sumya’s reply.*

[sumya]

Sumya was sad, you could tell she was

Kayn... I just... I've always had a crush since I saw you. But I guess you are right, you think I shouldn't divorce? I mean.. I don't blame my husband, I've hurt him...

Kayn please don't be like that with me. I just want to be cool with you. You are such a nice guy, people would have normally went to bed with me right now. But you... you have some integrity. *sniff*

Sumya smiles at Kayn.

Thanks for everything Kayn, you avoided me doing a big mistake, I should fight to fix my marriage.... I know understand why everyone likes you so much... But what should I do? My husband is furious at me, in retaliation he just went to bed with one of my best friends in Ghana....

[Kayn]

“Probably the best idea would be to take some time off and spend it with your husband and kids and try and work things out. Get some marriage counseling or something too, it seems the two of you have some issues that need to be worked out with the help of a professional. That’s my advice, so you can take it or leave it, it’s up to you.”

*It seems that Kayn was starting to get through to Sumya, but the decision was obviously her’s to make.*

Sumya smiles as she takes her cellphone out and calls her husband

Kwame. I got the papers, but I think we should give our marriage one more try...

No Kwame this isn't all about what I think, I know that you don't want to sign those papers. Have you ever stopped to think what will happen with our children? With me being on the road almost all year and you being in Ghana.

Look I am furious just like you are Kwame. You went to bed with Kereeditse! You took your vengeance right, I went to bed with that guy Ash Dixon, but I was drunk! You did that cold-blooded!

Kwame come here in NY with me, please, spend a few days with me, after that we can decide if we are going to sign the divorce papers, bring our kids aswell. It doesn't matter if they have school! Their parents happiness is way more important.

Sumya then hangs up

I convinced him Kayn! Maybe I can save my marriage! And all thanks to you! Kayn I know you can't stand me, but you just made me a happy woman
