chapter two
CHAPTER TWO
Toward evening of that same day,Eric brought the book to me and left without saying anything concerning our incident with Elvin, even though i tried bringing it up in conversation but it seems he is not interested.
I kept on imagining if a guy can actually be like this while he loves a lady and find it this difficult to tell her. But still my mind had been telling me also that maybe he had found another girl else where and had nothing to do with me anymore.
I was so confused and know not what to do next, should i go and apologize to Elvin? or should i confess my feelings to Eric.
But i can't do that, Eric will take me as a cheap girl.
I was still thinking of what to do, just then i notice a shadow of someone coming besides me i pretended immediately as if i was reading the book am holding in my hand. It was my mom, she was about to go out,make sure you sweep everywhere before i return she instructed, i will mama, i replied as she exit the door. I swept the house immediately as she instructed because i wanted to visit a friend at the evening time.
Elvin sent me a message that he will want to discuss something with me so, i planned to go see him at the venue. I sighted Elvin smiling from a far and wonder what might be the course,is it that i dress wrongly? I keep on wondering.
I pretended as if nothing happened as i came closer, hey, he greeted, hello, i replied back.
You sent for me i asked,yes i did he replied back, I
I know why he sent for me already, but i asked in pretences.
You know, i always like you and would wish to have you as my woman, ever since you turned down my feelings for you, i had no been my self i love you. I heard you, i will think about it and get back to you. I ended the conversation there because i sighted Eric coming from a far i don't want him to see us together.
Elvin left through different way, while I follow another way,in other not to meet with Eric.
Now it's not the first time Elvin will tell me he loves me, it had happened several times before now I don't him feel I rejected him, but the issue here is I still love Eric and he also love me but we both don't have the courage to face each other and confess our love to each other. I remembered those words I read on news feed the other times, it says "don't love who love but love who loves you" I hold on to those words and finalize within myself that I will accept Elvin's proposal.
Elvin came to my house the following day and mate mama while I went to fetch water from the nearby borehole, I had voices discussing at the setting room while I was about to enter the house, though I never hear a single word from there discussion.
It shocked me when I notice it was Elvin, what might bring him to my house even to have discussion with my Mum to an extend that she was grinning showing all her dentation, but I never mind to ask them of what they are discussing about, I quest it's about me.
Welcome my beautiful daughter mum said,while Elvin was busy looking at me in admiration.
I got confused and nervous, I could not even answer her, I went straight to drop the water without looking back, I even slipped but thank God I didn't fall down, I don't even know whether Elvin was still looking at me or not.
I stay in without coming out to meet them because I know mama will ask me whether I love Elvin in his presence, mum called out Deborah... Deborah, your husband is going oh, who told you he is my husband? I asked while coming out of my room. I was surprised my mum who never want to hear me talk about boys is here today telling me my husband is going oh, Elvin was already waiting at the gate, Elvin what are you doing in my house and who told you am your wife? I asked.
He apologised and said, I just ask of you and your mother asked to seat and wait for you. Actually i came to hear from you about what we discussed yesterday. I smile which signal my acceptance for him.
I told him I have some male friends who we are not into relationship, so he shouldn't get jealous if he see them with me.
