I got back home, went inside my room, I dropped the flower at the table and rushed out to help my mother in the kitchen.
โMy daughter I have been observing you for some days now, you look some different, your face is always blushing all the time and you keep on smiling to yourself starring at nothing sometimes you will be lost in your thoughts, I want to know the secrets behind this your suddenly change, are you in love my daughter? Because is only love that can makes someone to blushes all the time.
She asked and I keep on smiling at her.
โSee what am saying, your are smiling and the love is written all over your face, tell me who is the lucky man that has stolen my daughterโs heart?
What will I tell her, I canโt possibly tell her that the man am in love with is a mad man.
โCโmon talk to me! Are you shy or what? I want to know the manโ
โMother am in love with this man, he is so caring, humble and gentle to be with, he is exactly the definition of what I call an idea man, he has the quality I need in a manโ
I said with so much happiness.
โI will like to meet this man that has stolen my daughterโs heart and find out the different between him and the suitors you have rejectedโ
โMother the difference there is love, he loves me and I love him too, once you meet him you will confirm it by yourselfโ
โOkay! So whatโs his name, where is him from, what did him do for a living?
She asked being anxious to know.
โHaba mother! Too many questions at the same timeโ
I shouted.
โAm just being curious or canโt I know anything about him?
It will sound stupid if I tell her that I donโt know his name nor where is from, I know the type of mother I have always been suspicious of anything.
โMother when I invite him over you can get your answers from himโ
โOkay oooo! So when is he coming?
โMother very soon you will meet himโ
โOkay ooo! Go and check if the food is done so we can dish it outโ
I went to the kitchen to check the food, my mother is always adamant to know everything before I invite him over I need to make him to look perfect, I canโt introduce him to my parents like that.
โIs the food done?
She shouted.
โAm coming!
We dished out the food waiting for father to come back and within some minutes he came back with the seer man.
i donโt know my father was being serious when he spoken about the seer man so he actually believed the rumors that am possessed.
I was called out to see the seer man.
โIsiakaraka(meaning strong head) this is my daughter I told you aboutโ
He said.
He cleared this throat and said,โCome forward my childโ
I came forward,โshow me your palmsโ
I was secard, my body was even shaking,ย what if he is a fake seer and he meant lie to my father that am possessed child, I belong to the marine world and what could be the outcome if it happensโ
โShow me your palms my childโ
He repeated it.
I looked at my mother who gave me go ahead sign.
I showed him my palms, he look it and closed his eyes looking up communicating with his gods.
He opened his eyes and looked at me smiling.
โWhy is he smiling, could it be that he found something bad at me? I thought.
โMy child you are a blessed childโhe said.
Immediately he said that my heart that was pounding with fear now calmed down.
โChief, nothing is wrong with your child, she is not possessed nor have a spiritual husband, she is a blessed child with a bright future and a destiny to fulfillโ
He said and stood up to leave.
I was so happy that my father now know that am not possessed, the seer man said I have a destiny to fulfill, what could it be?
โThank you so much Isiakaraka, let me see you offโ
Father said and see him off.
โMother I told you that am not possessed but you doubted me now you see the seer has confirmed itโ
I said so happy.
โYou know I can never doubt you my child because I know the child I gave birth to rather your father doubted you and even said nasty things about me saying I donโt know where I got you from but thank God the seer has cleared out his thoughtโ
She said.
โYou see father, I told you that nothing is wrong with me but you doubted me and believed what other said about me instead of your own childโ
I said as soon as my father came back from seeing the seer off.
He sat down and said,โcome over here my childโ
I went and sat beside him.
โYou know you are my only child and I want the best for, I consulting the seer dose not mean that I donโt know my daughter anymore I just want to know my daughter more and how bright her future isโ
He said giving me a hug.
โOkay father and thank you for believing in your daughterโ
I said.
โMy husband did you know that our daughter has seen her mr perfect?
Mother said.
โMother!
I shouted somehow shyly.
โWhat! Cant I be happy again over my daughterโs happiness?
โSo Angela after rejecting all the man that came to asked for your hand in marriage you have finally seen the one that matches your taste as a husbabd?
He asked.
I was just smiling shyly.
โSo when are you inviting the lucky man over?
He asked.
โDaddy very soon you will meet himโ
I replied.
My parents really want to meet him soon I guess I have to start my work on him fast before they will find out that he is a mad man.
โMy husband we prepared your favorite food Egusi soup with mangala fish so we were waiting for you to arrive so we can eatโ
Mother said.
โThatโs the mention of that soup i have started swallowing my spit let start going before all the spit in my mouth we finishedโ
He sounded.
We laughed as we went to have our dinner.
My father doesnโt joke with that soup, if you offended you him and you need his forgiveness just prepare that soup for him you are already forgiven.
We had our dinner and gone to bed, sat at my bed thinking on how to start changing my man and my eyes went straight to my precious flower.
I took it and perceive it, it smells so lovely.
I placed the flower on my chest as I lay down, I remembered what the seer said about fulfilling destiny.
โCould the destiny be the mad manโ
I thought and closed my eyes and I wished to have a romantic dream with my love.
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I was in this beautiful garden surrounding with beautiful flowers all kinds of flowers with their good cent, it feels like I was in the paradise.
I was walking around perceiving the cent of the flowers and someone came at my back and covered my eyes.
I smiled and said, โI know is my prince charmingโ
โHow did you know is me?
He asked.
โI can feel my prince charmingโs touchingโ
I smiled.
He realized his hand from my eyes I was so shocked and dumbfounded of what I saw.
โOh my world! He looks so handsome, very cute, his pointed nose, pink lips suited his brown curved face, he dressed so good I couldnโt believe he is the same mad man I fall in love withโ
โMy love wonโt you take the gift I got for you?
He asked cutting me off from my thought.
I took the flower and smell it.
โIt smells goodโ
โYou look beautiful my loveโ
โThank you loveโ
I said smiling and admiring him.
โI have something for youโhe said.
โWhat is it love?
โI have a love poem for youโ
He smiled reviewing his gap teeth, have I ever mentioned he have a gap teeth?
He has this amazing gap teeth that makes his handsome face more cute.
โI canโt wait to hear itโI said smiling.

He said wiping out my tears.

I said.
โI love you so much, the love I have for you is beyond peopleโs imagination, my life will be meaningless without you in itโ
He said.
โI want you to sing for meโ
โAnything for my loveโ
He started singing with his amazing voice that can captures any girlโs heart.
He singing as we played along with the song, chasing me around the garden trying to catch me.
โI catch youโ
He shouted and carried me up.
He looked into my eyes and said, โI love you deeply and words are not enough to express how much I love you, I promise to love you forevermore, I want the birds in the sky to feel the love, I love you so much Angelaโhe shouted and kissed me at my forehead.
โI love you so muchโi said smiling.
โI love you moreโ
โIs a lie, we both love each other moreโI said.
We were starring at each other romantically, we wanted to kiss but someone interrupted.
I felt someoneโs touch, I opened my eyes it was my mother.
โWake up it is already eight oโclockโ
She said tapping me at my back.
โOh no mother! Why did you came, you suppose to allow us kissโ
I said trying to go back to my dream.
โDid you say something?
โNothing motherโ
I said rolling at the bed, yawning and straighting my body.
โOkay am waiting for you outside oooโ
She said and walked out.
Mother shouldnโt have come, we are just about to kiss our first kiss and she interrupted now I canโt go back to my dream again.
This dream is the best romatic dream ever, he looks so handsome like a charming prince I wish I will see him like that today.
I got up and met my mother in the kitchen, I did my house chores and later in the day Rose came to visit.
โGood evening Mama!
She greeted, I was watching them from the window.
โEvening my daughter, how is your mother?
โShe is fineโ
โShe is among those that spread the rumors about Angela being possessed thatโs why she stopped visiting but if you get home help me to tell her that Isiakaraka the seer said nothing is wrong with my daughterโ
She said snitching her dress.
โMama you know I never doubt my friend for one bitโ
โOkay my daughter I know you too wellโ
โMama where is Angela?
โI think she meant be in her roomโ
She walked out to meet me but called back.
โEhhhhhheeeee! Rose comeโ
She came, โAs Angela closed friend you meant know the person she is in love with, who is the man, did I know him? She asked.
Oh my God, am finished I hope she will not tell herโI thought.
โMother I canโt tell you the personโ
โWhy?
โBecause am I not in the right position to do so, you have to find out from Angelaโ
โBut she donโt want to tell me, she said I should wait that I will see him soonโ
โI guess you have to wait Mamaโ
She said and came inside.
โThank you Rose for not telling her the truthโ
I said and hugged her.
โYou have to tell her before she will find out from other people, you know such news do spread around like a diseaseโ
โI know but I need to change my man before introducing him to my parentsโ
โTalk more of changing him, he is the reason why am I hereโ
โWhat happen, did anything happen to him?
I asked being anxious to know.
โAngela your so call lover is at that big gutter that is always filled up with dirty water near the market road swimmingโ
โOh my God! How could he?
โHe is not a mad man what else did you expect from him is not this dirty, I even wonder how you plan to change because a mad man is always a mad manโ
โI need to go and stop him right nowโ
I said and rushed out immediately.
โMother am comingโ
โI hope thereโs no problem?
โNot at all motherโ
Rose answered.
We got there, children has gathered watching and calling him a mad man, he splashing the water on them.
I chased them out.
โWhat Is the meaning of this you are doing my love?
I shouted angrily.
โAm swimming my love, come and join me, the water is so cool you will like itโ
He sounded.
โYour love is inviting you to have a swim with him, go nahโ
Rose laughed out.
โNo Rose this is not a laughing matter at all, I donโt like what you are doing you are embrassing me in front of my friend, come out from that gutterโ
I shouted.
โI canโt come out the water is sweet and coolโhe said and keep on swimming.
โSee what I got for you, a fish you will use it and prepare me that delicious food you always prepare for meโ
He said threw the smelling dead fish out.
โYour lover is a fisherman, he just catches a fish for youโ
Rose mocked and laughed.
โWhat sort of nonsense is this? If you did not come out this minute I will leave youโ
I shouted being so mean.
โNo my love!ย donโt leave me, if you leave me I will die oooooโ
I said and rushed out from the gutter.
โWow! This is true a love story, he listens to his love and he donโt want her to leave himโ
Rose laughed out.
โYou just ruined my dayโI shouted and walked out.
โAm sorry my love, I will not do it againโ
He said following me.
โDonโt follow me, get backโ
I shouted and he obeyed immediately.
โAm sorry my love, please forgive meโ
He said and turned back.
I walked out so angrily.
โWhy are you being angry with him when you know he is a mad man so all these are meant to happen or when you are loving a mad man donโt you know what you will face?
She sounded.
โI know but I did not expect this such from himโ
โCโmon Angela what were expecting from a mad man if not that act he just did there?
โI just tired Rose, we were see tomorrowโ
I said and we departed to our various houses as usual
