(God’s gift to me)
And
Little daughter, Miracle Ayomide
(My greatest happiness from God)
Uhm . . . .
At last I’ve found it
Yes! I found another name for love
And it is . . . .
Oh . . . It really feels good!
Chapter One
It was raining heavily as Tony drove his Audi A6 through the flooded road now deserted and headed towards Dr. Kunle’s place. His mind was occupied with the thoughts of Meg his fiancée and for some reasons, which he could not explain; Tony had doubts about Meg and could not trust her in toto.
Tony felt drained and weak considering also the kind of nightmare he has been having recently. He knew that he needed a solution badly especially now that his mind was in turmoil due to what he heard being discussed by two ladies one Sunday evening as he went out for a walk.
Tears kept falling from his eyes as he drove his car through the heavy flood and recollected what happened that evening.
Rosy.
Tony heard the other lady call out.
Just imagine that young handsome man Tony suffering himself over a worthless girl like Meg. I really pity him
Tony stopped in his track and stood still.
Don’t mind him. He is a fool
the other lady said and continued
Will he say he doesn’t know that Meg is sleeping with Barrister Smith and what about the young guys she has been bringing home
replied the other lady.
Will you blame him? He came back from United States of America not too long ago and he is always in the office. I pray he finds out soon before he marries her otherwise his life will be ruined for good
That is their business. When I am looking for a man to grab, that bitch of a girl has a good guy like Tony and she is still not satisfied,
she said.
They don’t always appreciate good things until it is taken away from them
replied Rosy.
Tony could not bear it any further as the tears swelled up in his eyes. He turned to make sure none of them had seen him and quickly walked away.
His mind was already crowded with different thoughts and what he had just heard further heightened his suspicion about Meg.
The funniest part of it was that whenever Tony confronts her with these allegations, she looks at him straight in the eyes and flairs up.
Tony, you have started again. Can’t I have breathing space for a minute and by the way, do you have any prove
?
Meg, will you be serious for once
How do you want me to be or is it a way of telling me to go
? Asked Meg
Don’t speak like that Meg. You know I love you and want the best for both of us
replied Tony.
Then stop disturbing me,
Meg said leaving Tony alone in the bedroom.
Tony knew all was not well and the earlier he finds a solution to this problem, the better for him," he said.
This made him watch Meg closely but she always had a way of closing up on him.
Tony knew that someday whether right or wrong, things will come out in the open but how long that will take, he could not tell especially now that his wedding to Meg was just by the corner.
Chapter Two
Tony met Meg five years ago in the university where he was reading Petroleum Engineering and in his fourth year. He was a scholar and was on three different scholarships from big multinational oil firms.
Before now, women had never really interested him though he has had one or two relationship that never really worked out fine and this made him to avoid women like a plague.
Tony always tried to give his best to make the relationship work out but finds out late that he had actually been involved with the wrong person except for Alice who happens to be his dream of a decent lady and when he thought the found happiness would last them a life time, death played a menacing joke on him and snatched Alice away when he least expected and ever since he had remained alone.
Tony met Isabella, his first girlfriend in his second year during the welcome party and price-giving day of his faculty. He had won the overall best student award in his faculty for his excellent academic prowess as he had the best GPA of 4.98. This endeared him to the hearts of many females but Tony being the kind of person he is was actually not interested in having anything intimate to do with them.
When the party started and the dance was in full swing, Tony felt a hand on his shoulder and when he turned, he was staring into the eyes of one of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
Congratulations Tony. That was too much of you and I hope you will keep it up,
the girl in front of him said.
Eh! Thanks
Tony replied stammering a little as his eyes kept roving all over her body. She had eyes like the full moon and her breast were full and well shaped with a sumptuous body that will make any man urinate within a minute.
Tony was still roving his eyes through her body when she smiled and punched him slightly on the tummy
Are you undressing me with your eyes or is it your way of saying you love to dance?
She said looking at him in the eyes.
Oh… sorry
Tony stammered again. I was carried away,
he said.
Never mind, let’s go for a dance if you don’t mind
she replied.
Without thinking for a second, Tony jumped at the offer quickly for fear of her changing her mind. He held her close to himself and danced to the soft tune of Soya Spence Leaving on a jet plane
Won’t you tell me your name my first class prince
she asked
Please pardon me
he replied. You know when you’re dancing with a pretty lady like you, one easily forgets a lot of things
he replied
Are you flattering me
? She asked again.
My beauty, I mean everything I said and by the way I am Tony, the rest you know,
he said
I am Isabella
That is a beautiful name for a pretty girl like you
Tony, you have started again,
Isabella said jokingly while holding him tight.
Tony could feel his manhood begin to respond to the feel of her body close to him and this he was sure she was aware of and just then the voice of Soya Spence billowed out:
"Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me you wait for me
Hold me like you never
Really done"
Oh Isabella, hope you won’t say goodbye after this night because I really do want and will love to see you again
Is that so? Echoed Isabella!
What has a first class dude got to do with someone like me"? She asked
Stop being funny, I really mean it. I want to see you again
Tony said.
Just when Tony felt the pressure ease off her face and she was beginning to respond positively, the music stopped and the stage lights were switched on. With claps emanating from everywhere inside the hall, they all left the stage as the master of ceremony took the centre stage.
Tony walked Isabella to a seat hidden from the lights and sat beside her.
Isabella, you’re really a fantastic dancer and hope we will do this again together
?
Is that an invitation?
asked Isabella.
If you say so, and by the way, I think I am growing fond of you with each passing second
Oh… . oh…
Isabella laughed, Tony, you are a funny guy and I am almost wetting my pants
she replied.
Tony looked at her intensely. He knew instantly that he was in love with her and wanted her so badly.
Isabella, I mean everything I’ve said. I really want us to be close
Then prove it to me and I’ll be close to you
replied Isabella as she handed him a piece of paper and stood up.
Before Tony could look at it properly, Isabella had gone. He gazed round the hall hoping to catch a glimpse of her but she was nowhere to be found. He peeped once again at the note and it reads:
"If you really mean what you said,
Then check me up at RM 416, Block B
Queens hall. I’ll be waiting to see
If you’re serious"
Isabella.
Tony read the note over and over again that he could do no other thing that night as his thoughts centered on Isabella. In his heart, he knew there was no turning back Isabella must surely be mine
he said emphatically!
The party finally ended at about four in the morning and Tony strolled home with thoughts of Isabella on his mind.
Chapter Three
Days rolled into weeks without Tony checking on Isabella. He felt really guilty but could do nothing about it, as his lectures got more serious with a lot of assignments.
It was on Friday afternoon, Tony had just taken a difficult test and was looking really exhausted having not slept throughout the night. He strolled out of the class and bumped into Isabella who was looking at him straight in the eyes.
Tony didn’t really know what to do or how to begin realizing that he had not kept his promise.
Hello Isabella
, Tony managed to say still looking confused.
I know you are all the same. There is no problem, I quite understand
she replied.
‘Please Isabella, don’t get me wrong and don’t think that…"
What do I need to know again Tony?
Isabella asked cutting him short. You’ve actually proven to me that men are the same and I know now what you meant by wanting to see me again
she said.
Tony felt so ashamed and didn’t really know what to do. He looked up at her and nodded his head sorrowfully knowing how much he had actually disappointed her.
Please Isabella, I am sorry, believe me. It has really been hectic for me
he said trying to cover up.
Never mind Tony, I do understand and appreciate your hectic kind of life
she said with bitterness and began to walk away from him.
Tony ran after her and held her by the shoulder
Isabella
Tony called her name softly that she stopped and looked at him. Would you please listen to me and forgive?
"What is there to listen to? Thank God I was careful the first night, maybe by now I would have been a sucked and dumped orange.
How could you say such a thing when you know that I won’t hurt you purposely
Tony said looking at her.
But that is exactly what you have done
replied Isabella.
Then for once, will you forgive me and give me another chance to prove it to you that I want you for myself today, tomorrow and always?
Please Tony, tell that to the marines
she replied
Why not forgive and forget, then see how it turns out this time?
Tony said trying to convince her.
She turned her eyes once
