THE UNEARTHED AFRICAN BEAUTY.

CHAPTER SIX:THE SLEEPLESS NIGHT ONE.

SHEILLA'S POV.

That day at night,after having chatted with her best friend, Laura,and gone to bed, what happened during the day resurfaced in her mind. Sheilla's heart was in turmoil. She herself didn't know why but she couldn't forget about Hussein's handsome figure.Wait!!! That is it! Handsome figure. Sheilla was having charming thoughts for a guy for the fist time,and the guy was naturally Hussein. She recalled everything about Hussein's features. Starting from his dressing code to his well chiselled figure. There was nothing dissatisfying about him. In fact, she didn't feel repulsed when she remembered how he had held her in his strong hands. Furthermore,she instinctively wanted to be held again in those arms and lay her head against his chest for as long as she could last.

Yes,the simple minded village girl, Sheilla, had fallen head over hills in love with someone at first sight. Even though her intuition told her that it was impossible between them and that she should remain focused on her studies,she still couldn't let go of her strong feelings towards the man who was miles away from her in terms of financial capabilities and all. Don't ask me how she knew of this! Of course as you've realized,her good friend Laura had already told her about the big five of the school. Those were the true financial hegemonies of the Wilson University. They were namely, Hussein,Ahmed,Viola, Alvarez and Tyson. Those were the kids that ran the school. Of the five,it was said that Hussein was the most benevolent of all. He was known for his humble disposition and his generosity. In addition to that,he was rumored to have no girlfriend.For this reason, Sheilla had sliver of hope that she could have a chance. Also, according to reliable information, Hussein was just a twenty year old boy. So, considering the fact that she was eighteen,she thought she stood a chance since she was an adult according to the law of the Kenyan country. Thus,she was old enough to venture into a relationship. Then again,she didn't want to get into a relationship that would make her be in a disadvantageous position. She wanted to be in a long lasting relationship that could lead to marriage. She didn't dream of being some rich kid's plaything.

At the same time,she remembered of her parents admonition. They had warned her against splitting her attention to other things other than her studies. Even the board that gave her the scholarship also had told her against deciding to enter such situations prematurely. She had heard of many university students who got themselves in relationships that didn't workout. Most of them had even gotten pregnant and had to give birth to fatherless children and take care of them alone. Most of those that chose to abort their premature kids,died due to much bleeding. Around one percent of the girls got caring gentlemen that took them seriously till marriage. This proportion wasn't that encouraging. Sheilla was instantly in between a hard place and a rock. Furthermore,she didn't know whether she was the only one that was having feelings for him or if he was also in the same state.

Sheilla really thought of many scenarios. Both scary and charming.She had never been in a relationship but the feelings that she hard for Hussein were so strong that she felt like her body and soul were being mysteriously gravitated towards him! She just couldn't control herself! But it wasn't like she didn't like being in that state.

That night she tossed in bed without finding a solution to her problem. She had also thought of her dressing code that wasn't fashionable at all! She was worried that Hussein wouldn't like her type that wore conservative clothes like Catholic nuns. You know,most students in modern universities put on more revealing clothes than in the ancient times. Their beauty is always in the open for all to see. "Will he dislike me because of this point? Should I change the was I dress? But wouldn't that be against my parents' teachings? I think I should first sound him out and see which kind of woman he fancies." These and other thought-provoking things flashed in her mind.

At some point,she thought of telling her situation to her close friend Laura but she thought that Laura might laugh at her. She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of her friend. What was she to do? "Yes!I think I know exactly what I need to do!" She had a flash of enlightenment and emmediately took out her Nokia smartphone and quickly opened the Google search engine. She searched for was to make a man like her. The following were some of the tips she got;

3. Make him smile.

Sheilla read these and many more of them. She already felt like an expert knowledge- wise but action-wise, even a dummy was deemed better! She knew that google was right and at the same time,she knew that she couldn't even carry out the first advice! She had never sat down with Hussein to have a little chat leave alone having a healthy conversation! "What to do! What to do! What should I do? " In her moment of desperation,she instantaneously had another flash of inspiration!! "Yes! I'll ask Google search. Oh! Google,my dear friend,I love you to death! Please help out ,will you?" She typed,"How to make him know I have feelings for him without telling him on his face."
