AYA

‘A dilemma’

It's been two days since Aya had an encounter with her family. They called to let her know their stand in her love life, and that has left her in a bad mood for the past two days. What they said had been eating her up, but she couldn't tell anyone about it, not even her boyfriend Micah.

Aya is a 22-year-old young adult, schooling and working as a part-timer in a restaurant. She grew up with her aunt’s family as her parents separated when she was only six years old. Growing up, Aya craved to be in a family where both parents were present to give her the love every child needed as she wasn't getting that from her aunt’s family. Therefore she vowed to create that family for her future kids.

Aya has always been an independent girl due to the training she had growing up. So at the early age of 20, she moved out of her aunt’s house to hustle and take care of herself. She landed a job at the ‘Eat and Dine’ restaurant as a waitress and that's where she met her boyfriend Micah.

On her first day at work, she was being inducted and that is when she was introduced to Micah, as soon as she set eyes on him, she was in awe at how good-looking he was then he smiled and that left her staring. ‘Hello I'm Micah’ she heard a voice whisper and that brought her back from her staring stance. She smiled back and responded with her name, ‘ I'm Aya ‘ nice to meet you. Throughout the day, Aya’s thoughts were clouded with Micah. His smile, face and composure.

Micah works as a supervisor at the ‘Eat and Dine restaurant. He is young, handsome and works hard. He has been the crush of most of the girls at the restaurant but none has been able to win him over.

As time went by, Aya was able to win over Micah as she was equally beautiful with a kind soul and hardworking. Their relationship was blooming and they made plans to get married once Aya was done with school. But now, Aya is in a dilemma. She is torn between her parents wishes and her dream.
