1270 Words
After the proposal drama of the day, one of Ella's workers that Mr Binta had been paying to monitor Ella's movements, quickly called Mr Binta and told him about the proposal engagement in the company, and he became furious, waiting for Ella to return.
Before Ella returned, Mr. Binta was already waiting for her arrival. At the sight of Ella, he started ranting.
“Who was the young man I heard propose to you today, and why didn't you tell me about it before now?” Mr. Binta questioned.
“ Dad, I know you won't consent to be his love interest to me. I couldn't find the courage to tell you about it. Besides, he is planning to come and make it official to you. Dad, we love each other very much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
You are my father, and it's not ideal that I remain with you forever. Please understand my feelings for once”. Ella pleaded.
“ What? What did I hear you say? Did you just say you loved him? Never!, you will never marry him, and I don't want to see him in my house”. Mr. Binta insisted.
Ella went inside and started crying. She cried the whole night. Refused to attend to anything in the house.
Very early in the morning the next day, she called Bryan and broke the bad news to him. Bryan was not surprised to hear that. He already expected it , and he had to devise a means to strike him and take back what is rightfully his.
He decided to visit Mr. Binta to make his intentions known to him. Three days later, he visited his Dr. Friend, whom he has narrated his ordeal to. They were prepared to face his reactions.
They were welcomed by Ella at their arrival and his wife, Mrs. Grace Binta was at home that Saturday. She welcomed them because Ella had told her about them.
“Welcome Mr. Bryan and friend, please feel at home”, as she went in to bring some juice and wine for them. She told Ella to go and inform her father about their guests.
Mr. Binta came out, though he was angry, but he didn't show it because his wife was at home. He never wanted his wife to know about his evil treatment. He greeted the guests and sat to hear what they had to say.
“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Binta. I have planned this visit for a while now, and I believe today is the ideal day. My name is Bryan Cowel, and here is my friend Dr. Lucero.
I have come to pluck a beautiful flower that I saw in your house. I have come to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage. Please grant me your consent. I love you Ella very much”. Bryan declared.
“Your journey is a good one, you have not made any mistakes in doing that. Every mature man needs a woman to be complete. Have you met with her before and has she accepted to marry you? Binta asked.
“ Yes sir, she has accepted to marry me and I want to find out from you the necessary things I should do to have her as my wife”. Bryan answered.
“Okay, I can't actually promise to give her out for marriage now, Ella is not ripped for marriage and she needs more time to prepare for it.
Thank you for coming to indicate your interest. Ella will not marry you” Mr. Binta said.
“Honey, can we hear from Ella to know what she wants? If she agrees before us to make him her husband, then we should give them our consent ``. Said Mrs. Grace and she called Ella to come, that her attention was needed.
“ Don't call Ella, there is no need for that. She sometimes needs to prepare for marriage” Mr. Binta commanded.
He turned to his guests and thanked them for coming. He left them and returned to his room.
Bryan smiled. “Well, you have spoken your mind, Mr. Binta, but I am not giving up on Ella, she is my life”.
Ella felt disappointed at her father's treatment, but she was not surprised. She knew he wouldn't accept. The only way out is to remain supportive of each other.
Bryan left with his friend. He left to execute his plan B, in achieving his dreams.
As he went home, he called his father and gave him the latest update about his marriage plans with Ella.
“ Greetings Dad, Dad, I respect you alot and that is why I can't do anything without your knowledge. I proposed to Ella, and she agreed to marry me."I went to meet her father yesterday to tell him my intentions. Bryan said
“ Son, I still insist that you will marry Kate. You had better make a redress to continue your marriage preparations”.Mr. Cowel said.
Bryan left and was unable to coordinate anything throughout the day. He decided to reach out to Ella for another meeting.
He called Ella, “Hello Ella, how are you today? Would you mind meeting me at the same hotel we met last? There are critical issues we need to discuss. Let's meet tomorrow, same time, same venue, I love you Ella, please do take care of yourself”. Bryan expressed.
Before Ella could reach the hotel the next day, Bryan was already waiting. He came down at her arrival and they held hands as they walked into their room.
She felt like she was transported back to the moment when Bryan first proposed to her. The memories came flooding back, and she couldn't help but wonder what could have been.
She didn't know what to expect, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that this was her chance to rekindle what they once had.
He looked more handsome than ever, and Ella's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met.
Bryan smiled, and Ella's heart melted. He took her in, and his eyes never left hers, Ella felt like she was home.
"I'm always yours," Bryan said, his voice filled with emotion. I will never give up on us. I realize now that I have to fight harder for you."
Ella's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to Bryan's words. She had been waiting for so long to hear him say those words.
"I still love you, Ella," Bryan said, his voice trembling with emotion. "I want to spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Please promise to remain strong for me"
Ella's heart overflowed with emotion as she looked at Bryan. She knew that she couldn't imagine spending the rest of her life without him.
"Yes," Ella said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll be strong for us."
Bryan's face lit up with joy as he swept Ella into his arms. They shared a passionate kiss, the world around them melting away.
As they pulled away from each other, Bryan smiled. "I promise you, Ella, I'll do everything in my power to make you happy."
Ella smiled, feeling like she was finally home. "I love you, Bryan," she said.
"I love you too, Ella," Bryan replied. Forever and always."
They successfully met at the same hotel and consumed their feelings to extract the climax of their s****l
Ecstasy.
In three weeks' time, Ella fell sick and went to the hospital for diagnosis.
