LOVE IS CLEANING MY HEART.

My name is Doreen,I happened to be the only child of my parent.Born into a rich and wealthy family,I had the privilege of attending the most most prestigious institution in the City of Akropong in the Eastern Region . My father was a wealthy business man with high connection and influence. I had my way with everything I did and was never challenged in my life until I met a handsome hair y gentleman called Harry ,who stood up to me and confronted me for my awkward behaviour towards a lady who crossed my path. Infact,I was very furious at him and decided to teach him a lesson of his life. I lifted my hand to give him a slap and he hurriedly held my hand and looked into my eyes with confidence. I vowed to look for him and deal with him next time. But I was taken aback at his confidence and boldness and therefore wanted to know him more. Who is this gentleman that had the gust to challenged me . His confidence and boldness alone melted my heart. It was then that I realized I was messing with the wrong guy. My driver immediately intervened and we left the scene. I vowed to look for him and teach him where power lies. But his thoughts filled my mind and I couldn't do anything without thinking about him. CHAPTER 2 Tuesdays are my busiest day,I woke up very early trying to gather myself for the task ahead. I took my bath and wore a glamorous elegant dress to attract viewers and onlookers. I decided to go online for today's headlines,only to be disturbed by my Daddy's call. He wanted me to join him exclusively at a business meeting with some of his business associates. I called my house help and driver to put things in order for me to have a smooth day. I arrived at my Dad's office early as usual and was warmly welcomed by his secretary. In no mean time,my Dad arrived with his personal assistant and we headed to the board room for the all important meeting. My Dad ask his personal assistant to brief me on what the agenda was and how we were going present our proposals and business plan to our client. Then came the time for the arrival of our guests,the team was lead by a middle age man ,one lady and a gentleman. To my surprise,the gentleman happens to be the handsome hairy young man whom I had some confrontation with the other day. Infact ,when I saw him I wanted the Earth to swallow me up. I couldn't bare the sight of seeing him again. He looked well polished,well- ironed dress and wore a nice perfume which captured the whole room with fragrant excitement. I had to pretend that I had not noticed him or recognized him at all. The meeting went on as planned and in the end , both parties agreed to the business plan and proposals. CHAPTER 3. My Dad was so impressed with how detailed and brilliant their contributions and suggestions were. When the meeting finally came to an end ,we saw them of and we exchanged business cards. Little did I know that was going to be the tormentor of my life. The gentleman starting calling to check up on me . On the first day I ignored his call ,he later texted me that he wanted to take me out for lunch,which I refused. He kept on sending gifts , flowers and messengers to my office to check up on me ,which I rejected countless of times. He got frustrated with my behaviour that, one day I was in my office and he showed up. He greeted politely and I gave him a seat. I pretended I didn't know what brought him to my office, and asked him why I have this surprised visit. He gave me a sexy glance which almost took me off my feet to hug him,but I maintain my posture to flex my muscles a little bit. He asked why I was avoiding his calls and rejecting his gifts. Infact,I had no answers to his questions but gave him some frenzy excuses that I was really busy ,bla BLA kind of explanation. On the contrary ,he made me laughed by cracking jokes and telling me wonderful stories. Infact,I really enjoyed his company and he promised to take me out on a date , which I hurriedly agree. For me,I wanted to know more of him and to help me take a decision. CHAPTER 4 Love is a beautiful thing,which cannot be explained with just words. The feeling is unbelievable and extremely intriguing, you only have to express it with actions. Even though I had fallen in love with Harry,I was playing the hard to get game. Later,in the afternoon,I had a call from Harry wanting to go out on a date with me . In as much as I would have loved to be with him on that date,I thought of taking things a little bit further,since I wouldn't like him to have me on a silver platter. I agreed to the invitation but didn't show up either. He waited for hours at the restaurant but there was no sign of me. The next day,I was driving through town with my assistant and we met handsome Harry. CHAPTER 5 As soon as I saw his Vehicle,I swiftly negotiated a curve and dodge him, thinking that I had out smart him ,not knowing he was following us . I kept on speeding until a Police Vehicle with some Officers asked us to pulled over. I was in serious trouble ,What was I going to them about the over speeding ? ,I quickly gathered my thoughts and lied that I have had an emergency and that my assistant was seriously sick and I had to take her to the hospital. They advised me to be careful and even offered to give me an exhcort . I declined and told them that am almost there. Mean while, Handsome Harry pulled over and wanted to intervened and the Police asked him to step aside for them to do their job. After this drama, we left and pretended to drive into the Hospital premises. We waited for some minutes and drove off to the house. When we arrived at home, handsome Harry had already parked his vehicle waiting for us. I quickly came out and furiously confronted him about why he was stocking me,as if, I don't remember what I had put him through the following the yesterday. He humbly apologized and left quietly without saying another word. I felt ashamed for my actions , because I thought he was going to exchange words with me. But this never happened. It was there,that I learnt to be patient no matter the situation. CHAPTER 6 One Sunny Sunday,I went to the beach to have some fun. I really enjoyed the swimming and the guys skating with their skateboard. It was a memorable soul searching I have ever done. Reflecting on my life and what I stood for ,I realized I had been so selfish, arrogant spoiled brat. I needed to tone down on my insensitive to situations and to care for others and let ego down a little. I decided that ,I had had enough of the luxurious life style and wanted something different to bring me on track. Therefore,I decided to disguise myself and visit some slums areas in some of the towns to have a feel of some of the daily struggles people go through before they can afford a meal. What I found out shocked me and changed my perspective of life completely. I never knew the other side of life were struggles,pain, starvation, torture,abuse and fighting for survival. After the visit to those slums,I decided to help those people out by building basic amenities for them,and to make their lives a better one. I built a drainage system, a water reservoir, a modern public toilet facility and gave them some funds to inject into their businesses and to set up businesses. The community really appreciated my efforts and showed me wonderful love,it was then that I realized,I had wasted many years of my life for being self-centered and Selfish. I told myself , I would have to embrace the new me, which was challenging and inspiring. CHAPTER 7. After the philanthropy experience,I decided to pay Mister Handsome Harry a surprise visit and to make up for the tormentor I had been. I woke up early to plan my schedules for the day and made sure he was my priority at lunch time. My driver drove me straight to his office and lol and behold,there he was, sitting comfortably in his chair. Indeed he seems surprised to have seen me. He welcomed me and asked his secretary to serve me with some juice .I told him ,I was there to take him out for lunch. Infact,he was taking aback about my sudden show of affection. He hurriedly stood up and we went to a five Star restaurant. They gave us the best service I could ever imagine. He begun by asking me questions about my hobbies and interests in sports.I told him ,I was not the fun of sports but am into fashion and tourist attraction sites. We talked extensively and brought our lunch to end .He wanted to paid the bill, but I had that taken care already by my driver. He was very pleased with our interactions and conversation that he forgot to pick his phone,I was the one who reminded of it. He told me he wanted to even the odds by taking me to a dinner some day. He saw me off and I left with my driver to continue the day's activities. His thought filled my mind throughout the day. I wish , I could hear him talk over and over again. I went to the office filling fulfilled and vibrant to continue whatever was left on my desk with much enthusiasm. CHAPTER 8 It is another beautiful morning,I have decided to pay a working visit to deprived towns to ascertain for myself their needs and how we can do our possible best to solve them. The kind of pain and suffering people are going through, you have no idea. I engaged several people about their situations and the stories I heard broke me . Not that they are lazy or not serious in life,they do their possible best but it is not enough to keep the boat afloat. Therefore,We decided to give them some start up capital to help them stand on their feet. They were very happy and pleased with this uncommon favour and deliverance from poverty. Infact ,it was as if a rod of beams been lifted for their heads and necks. It was such a memorable experience, their faces even tell how grateful they were. They even confessed they had never seen any thing like this in their lives. Our hearts were ful of praise for their appreciation. Again ,we decided to solicit for help and support for them ,so that all needs could be met. We advertised for help for these deprived villages and towns and the out come were massive. Lots of donations were received. It really helped and motivated us to do more for them. When next time you see poverty and hardship,tell them they are not welcomed into your life. Many companies and organizations came along to join the course to eradicate poverty from our communities. It is heart fulfilling to meet wonderful people who are willing to support and channel their resources into non-profit making ventures or activities. They told me it was also their social co-operate responsibilities to lift the burdens of our villages and town. I was highly impressed with their commitments and wonderful supports for these people. I took the opportunity to thank them for their remarkable efforts. CHAPTER 9 The day looks bright and sunny,and I decided to visit my grandma to discuss with her about my worries and fears in life. I had missed her stories and pampering a lot,and wanted to feel her love and care again. She was very excited to see me ,and gave me the warmest welcome I could have in a grandma. She quickly rushed to the kitchen to put something on for us to enjoy. I told her to relax for me to cook for her ,but she declined and told me to sit by her side. She had her old ways of doing things. Even though,She had these modern stove and gas cylinder,she always chose the traditional way of cooking. She always said that ,the food taste delicious when prepared with charcoal or wood,and I can also testify to that. Within some minutes,the food was ready for consumption. It had been months that I had enjoyed such a home made delicacy. I forget about being cooperate lady and enjoyed my delicious meal.
