My new love

Our home was small for our big family, I remember we used to share a room with my other female cousins which was considered a taboo according to our African culture but we had no option, the room was small for us which made my father to consider looking for a new house where atleast everyone would find his own private room which is good for us the growing teenagers, but for me it wasn't a good idea that we relocate to the new home because that is when I had confessed my feelings to my crash who had given some positive response, happy was I not when papa said we had to move, the distance between the new home and the old was not near which meant that I was not going to start dating with my crush but thank God I had her phone number which meant I was to atleast communicate with her but strong bond was no assured. I was sad inside but I had to pretend that I was happy just as others were excited to relocate to the new home anyway that was life and I had to move on.It was hectic carrying our language to the big lorry that was to take our property to our new home The new home was indeed boring,I remember we arrived when rain was at it's full force ,the house was big and somehow lonely to me ,I was desperate for love. I needed love I wanted my crash around me even if it meant looking at her only but she was nowhere to be seen , I tried communicating via my phone but it made no meaning at all I just needed her around .I remember in my dream she came ,I spent quality time with her but it was just a dream, she was not around the dream even wastened my situation cause it built more nostalgia, I had lost my love till today I can't even trace her maybe she is dead or maybe she even doesn't remember me if she is alive how I wish my lost love was found ,I need her. A day came when I was entering our compound when I spotted a girl , she seemed to be good but no beautiful enough as my my lost lost love , love never pushed me into her but desperation did it, I approached her but she made me look stupid because she rejected me, " even her not even beautiful enough just turned me down." Was I not good enough for her ? Anyway I comforted myself that there was someone better than her who would be mine soon anyway she was not the apple of my eye. " have to be myself " I told my self, "who ever has gone has gone and whoever has rejected me has already done it, today I have to be the man I had always thought I had been ,no need to think of my lost love I now need my new love." My phone rang, it was my friend Antony who I had promised to accompany him to his cousin home where he was to pick some items trying to ritch me, a friend in need is a friend indeed so I had to keep my promise .After around fifty minutes we were at Watamu when the cousin to Antony lived.l can't explain it but I guess it was love at first sight, she was meant to be mine but I never tried to approach her because I had to look for a very strategic way to win her ,she looked good . "Welcome to our home. "she said happily, her voice sounded like my favorite music ,she looked like my future wife , she was the true definition of beauty I wanted her immediately but I remember my father always thought me about patience so I had go wait for the right moment "Antony, I guess I like your causin" I said ,"I knew it bro your calmness can tell, infact I will help you get her , take her number from my contact list ,I have saved her causin Shanny " Antony answered .That had been easy for me . Shanny had also fallen for me so getting her was very easy so she was my new love ,our bond was strong that even made me stop looking desperate for love ,she gave everything I was missing ,whenever she was not around fantasy about her took the better part of my pate ,what was love without my girlfriend Shanny? I was always proud of her that I even introduced her to my parents who was happy knowing her ,I sometimes saved cash to buy her gifts because that was all about love ,her wish was my comand ,even my friends teased me of being bewitched with her love but that was not important to me, When I got employed, I saved a lot to build a house so that I would bring her in after we married Shanny was ready to be my truly married wife and bore me kids ,anytime we meet we would discuss about our future and how bright it was , I was very faithful to my lovely girlfriend and I guess she too was because we spent almost the whole of our free time together, life was indeed sweet I wouldn't wait to be called dad when we would get our first baby, we sometimes urgued with Shanny on whom will our kids look like ,Shanny wanted all the kids to look like me because it would be a prove that she was always faithful and I wished my female children looked like her because she was beautiful We were destined to make a good family that everyone would admire my dreams were hers dreams that would change our lives because in the family that we both grew up in was not the best but we wished our kids had the best
