The man of my dreams

Vera woke up that morning,she looked so worried and worked up."Vera!' She heard her mother's voice calling softly from the living room.She was left in the web of confusion.She shifted the drake as the sun rays penetrated through finding it way into the room.How could she sleep herself off upto that time. 'Yes mum' she answered with sleepy voice she stretched her and reached out for the clock that was standing on the table beside her bed.It was 9am. "Gosh!! how could i sleep like this". She murmured as she dragged herself to the bathroom to freshen up. "I will be there in a jiffy mum, just wanna have a shower" she echoed but her voice was loud enough for her mother to hear."Alright, please be snappy, your dad is waiting" her mum echoed back .She squeezed the toothpaste slowly out of the tube.The thought of Bryan clouded her mind.How lovely he looked His charming bright eyes His smiles .She kept having skits of the moment she had with him.Bryan is a good looking young man who should be probably between his late twenties or early thirties.She wasn't sure anyways but he looked young and smart.He is broad chested and his well built bicep complimeted his broad chest ,a good comfort to woman when she is sad and need relieve from the heat of the life. It was during her journey to Unilag. that she met him. "Hello, beautiful!" the unfamiliar voice rang in her ears as she dragged her box to the Luggage scan. "Hello!" she turned to see who is calling her."Your purse.You forgot it" He explained as he stretched the purse to her."Oohh thank you very much" She smiled as she collect it. "Iam really grateful" she added as the young man turned to leave. Coincidentally, Vera was surprised to see the young man sitting close to her in the plane."Hey handsome" She smiled broadly exposing her white and well arranged set of teeth.Her lovely dimples which shows up only when she is smiling surfaced.She felt a bit shy as that was not what she wanted saying , but she wasn't aware when that falls off from her lips. "Hey beautifu!" he responded Soo gently and sweetly with his bedroom voice.Gosshhh that sent signals to Vera nerves! It seems a sort of strange spirit possessed her.She couldn't just take off her gaze on him each time she steal to see him.She tried so hard to hide that so it wouldn't be obvious that she is already liking him.Nooo!! how could she like someone she just met.If not that she forgot her purse on the seat in the waiting room probably they wouldn't have met ,but why this sudden magnetism she is having towards him was the question she couldn't explain neither could she help it. "Oohhh! just wanted to say Thank you once more " say said taking her gaze off him. Bryan noticed her shyness. He smiled and said "You don't have to thank me over and over again. Is my pleasure that I was of help to you. "hughh"She sighed "that purse contained a lot of valuables I don't know what would have become of me if you aren't kind enough to return it to me" she was sincere. "That was an act of humanity that everyone is supposed to show." He explained. "But the world is in another dimension that act of humanity, sincerity, honesty and fear of God is now fast decaying that people don't value it anymore. This great virtue is now a very cost germ .But thank God there are still good Samaritans" She said. "Iam Bryan" he stretched out his hand for handshake. "Iam Vera" she introduced herself too. "Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelt,we are about to land" The flight attendant announced. They exchanged contacts. It has been two weeks since she heard from him.She was soo worried. "Hope nothing bad happen to him ,what could be the issue,or was his phone missing?" She poured questions without answers.She tried searching him on Social media, perhaps she may come across his picture But how is that possible,she didn't even asked of his social handles.The only hope she was having was that she Know his name is Bryan and she have his picture in her mind.She searched fruitlessly, Until she gave up hoping someday she will meet,she wasn't sure how but she believed the same fate that brought them together will surely bring them again. When she returned home for Vacation,her mum, took out for shopping and fortunately they met .She was amazed at they way her mum exchanged pleasantries with.It seems they knew each other. "Mum, do you know him?" She asked her mother curiously. "Yes he is my friend's son.You remember Mrs Cloe,at work?, the that came during your father's birthday?"She looked at her daughter as she open the car door. "Yes mum" "that is her son ,her Only son.He gentle, brilliant and and handsome" She complimented Vera Smiled.This compliment given by her mother really correspond to the kind gesture Bryan showed to her at the airport even though they were total strangers to each other.How he picked the purse and followed with it,how he helped her with some of her luggages.And even to the extent of Paying her bills when her bank app failed to cooperate.She was awed with sort of man Bryan could be.She want to know him more. "He is so humble.I like him"She commented. "Yes , momma"She answered in a tone and manner that she always display anytime, something interest her. "Seriously!" Her mother exclaimed. ".anddd you never mentioned that to me? C'mon, gurrll bring it on" her mother added in Jovial manner as she ignite the car engine.She always this Ways of making her daughter comfortable by coming down to her level, playing, speaking slangs, having mother_daughter conversations, infact she made sure she made Soo accesible and approachable and easy going that Vera don't have to be scare.She can be as open as she want to discuss anything with her mother. "Iam glad you like him.So tell me how did you guys met?"She broke as she discovered Vera was carried away by imagination. Vera told her mother everything that transpired that day leaving no stone unturned. "Iam surprised ,he couldn't really recall me fully,he didn't act as if we met " She concluded sadly. "No wonder,you played shy ,and I noticed the way he was looking at you.I think he likes you." The mother commented softly,as she looked at her daughter with love. "I'm sure he may be carried by somethings or probably clouded with alot of things,but IAM assuring you he still have you in mind okay?" She comforted her. "Why is dad waiting for me today?"she wandered as she brushed.She quickly freshen up and put on simple wear.She was about leaving her room when her mother swung the door wide. "are you still not done yet" "Iam done mum" They both rushed downstairs,had breakfast. "Dad , where are we going today? You iam on holidays iam supposed to resting mum have been disturbing me since yesterday. "Is not me oo,Your dad kept telling me to invite you to this his special friend He is doing his house warming,this evening and decided to throw small party to thank God for the success of completion of the house. I don't know why your dad is so eager for you to attend this celebration ooo" Her mum talked with concern as Vera,gulf the hot tea, taking a bite of toasted bread. Vera wasn't surprised with all that her mother was doing.It is a usually thing that anytime her mother want to persuade her to do something or want her to do some house chores she always take it upon to prepare her favorite.
