Good news after Pain

Loving him wasn’t a mistake.

In less than an hour, the house was organized to host a big party again. Everybody waited in parts to see what was to happen. Some people take Christmas like an angel sent for happiness but look it carries the extremely full joy of Christmas and Easter. As the food was served on the table of a hungry herdsman who couldn't even kneel to wash his hands properly or remove the specks of dirt on the skin, this was the best example to explain the happiness of a dish one has yawned for since they met each other. Before the banana could be cut out of the bunch, the saliva was already rolling from the places of high concentration, down through the smoothened curvy, beefy, fleshy surface covering the well-organized femur. While the spring well was already over flooded just waiting for the water pipe which was still enough to drink all the water. The borehole was dripping with high breathing rate like a tired dog only waiting to be called for a meal. The ozone layer overcame its shield and the earth was extremely heated and the plants that turned evergreen of the condition released out their water to the dot while the roots were busy sinking deep searching for underground nutrients for their growth. After all the tickling satisfaction, the snake escaped out of the pot covered with a layer of watery white porridge and still demanding for more with a strategic movement of up and down like a lizard that has fallen from a height in recognition for its braveness. That was the joy of paradise from hell.

“Thanks so much, I will never leave you, me too”, Bolly and Benny conversed.

It was November 20^th, 2017 when he proposed to me. With the poetic voice of love just like angels singing in heaven. A haven was organised for dinner and after he proposed to me with a ring made especially for a princess like me. After the proposal, traditionally, we supposed to get married officially after one year but my case was different.

Remembering the night he enjoyed the best in me thinking he meant his words makes me crazy and never to fall in the pit of love again. Bolly was all I had until he said it is over between us. I imagined the world without him and my only submission was to kill myself.

Seeing him go for another woman after proposing to me, caged me in thoughts of less human and less woman. I had all description of whom I have become in the name of marriage and if there was another world to live in, I would have opted for it. Friends and families inveigled me for sticking to a man who doesn’t love me.

He went on with life with another lady in the nearby village because she was a banker and I was just an attendant in Bokaka Hotel.

Since Bolly do come to the same hotel with his newfound lover, I couldn't wait to resign from my job. The manager was disturbed for my sudden change but she had nothing to do since I had made up my mind to relinquish my position.

Two days at home without a job and the sorrow of disappointment of love was still torturing me; I had to leave home in search of a new job. Fortunately, I met the worker who told me that there was a vacancy he saw along Koko Avenue at Bossy Restaurant. Immediately, I went and it was a success because I resumed work automatically and I was happy once again.

One evening as she was going home after work, she met the same worker who directed her to Bossy Restaurant and she was happy to behold him again.

What is your name, please? Benny asked.

My name’s Jembo.

She continued, I have longed to see you again coincidentally here we are. I must say a very big thank you because you made my life better. I got the job the same day you told me to go there. Kindly, give me your contacts.

Sure, it is +2567070896743.

Thank you very much. I stay at VB estate. What about you?

Oh, can't we have dinner together then I shall tell you my place of abode? Jembo requested jokingly.

That’s awesome. I am grateful for the offer. But where exactly shall it be?

Leave that to me but I believe you will like it afterwards.

It was a great evening for Jembo and Benny. They got to know each other more as this never ended on just having dinner together.

Six months down the lane, they got along more intimately. One Saturday evening, Jembo took Benny for a weekend at Governor's cottage near the fish market in Nigoro. As they were driving to the venue, Benny was reminiscing of how Bolly fooled her and she began to feel insecure about what this journey will turn out to be. However, she never uttered any word but Jembo realised it and said;

You looked worried. I hope all is well?

Yeah, I am just lost in my world.

World! Kindly let me into your world, my dear. You never know I will as well enjoy it together with you.

That’s lovely but there is no need unveiling the parcel that must be unwrapped at it due season. So, do not worry the whole weekend is yours; you will know everything about me.

Interesting, I shall wait for that moment to come and maybe then our conjugal bliss would have taken another dimension. Whatever it is sweetie, just be calm my chest is enough to rest your head always. Do not fear anything for we have come to be.

With a smile she replied, I love you so much.

About an hour ago, they had arrived at their destination and they rested. While they were at supper, the word resounded again.

Will you be the mother of my children?

What do you mean? She replied.

Surely, you mean the world to me and I have realised how incomplete I am without you. Kindly, make me whole; please, don't say no.

Immediately, he brought a ring and placed it before her but Benny couldn't withstand the shock and she busted in tears. Jembo was confused about what's making her cry but she said, I am not ready for marriage after what I have been through. She narrated her past life with Bolly and Jembo assured her that love has resurrected again. He added, marry me and everything will be over. With a kiss, she accepted his proposal and that night was another paradise for them.
