๐โค๐๐IN LOVE WITH THE MAD MAN๐จโ๐ ๐ด๐
PROLOGUE
She found herself loving a mad man rejecting all her suitors because of the unconditional love she has for the mad man.
Thereโs something mystery about the mad man, how will he unveil the mystery?
How will she withstand her love for him?
โOh no! Not again! Not this dream again! I shouted as i waked from sleep..
- I
โWhy did i keep on have this dream, what could be the significance of my dream? How can i have a romantic dream with a mad man? Who could be the strange mad man that i always dream of? I rubbed my face and bend my head wondering the reason why I keep on having a romatic dream with a mad man.
It has been months since i started having this strange dreams, I can recall very well the first day i dreamt about the mad man.
I met this strange mad man looking so dirty, smelling so bad, his clothes were torn apart, his hair and beard over grown like a forest, dirty cans and bottles tied around his waist, a pairs of slippers on his neck, eating a rotten food probably gotten from the disposal refuses he was sitting on, it seem to me that he has been mad for years due to his looks.
I pity him the moment I set my eyes on him and immediately he saw me, he straight up his hand asking for help.
โPlease my love help me, I know you will come, I have been waiting for youโhe stood up coming closer to me.
Unlike me, i stood still without running, me that hate mad people with passion but incase of this strange mad man I felt for him and I wonder why he addressed me his love.
โPlease help me! Donโt live me my love I have been waiting for youโhe said weeping so bitterly.
He came closer to me straighting his hand.
I donโt think if I have ever seen a mad person crying bitterly, I really felt remorseful for him.
โWho are you? Why are you crying? I asked as I held his hand without minding that he meant bit me.
โI donโt know who am I, please my love help me and donโt live meโhe cried out.
โStop crying! I wiped out his tear.
โPlease my love help meโhe said.
โWho are you and why did you call me your love? I asked.
โBecause you are my love, and your heart beat need your helpโhe sounded.

โWhat happen to you and why should I help you? I asked still holding his hand.
โAm Iโฆโฆโฆ. He didnโt complete his statement because I waked up with a heavy shout by mother.
Todayโs dream was something else, I dreamt about him playing together, feeding him, laughing with him like a mad person with him, people were looking at us thinking that am also mad too, some mock at us saying the mad man has found his lover.
I wonder why i felt so comfortable and peaceful around him, he is so gentle and harmless and i felt this butterflies in my stomach, he is so loveable to be around with.
Sometimes I found myself thinking about him and I wonder the type of feeling i have for him, could it be pity or love? Probably it canโt be love, how can I be in love with a mad man?
I have searched for him around the community, the market where the mad people normally stayed to know if he exited but all to no avail.
My mother shout cut me off from my thinking.
โYes mother! I said frightening and stood up immediately.
โI have been calling for ages Angela, what are you thinking? She shouted.
โNothing mother!
โI hope you remember what today is?
โToday! asking todayโs day? I donโt even know what today is.
โDonโt be stupid! Have you forgotten that your suitor is coming today with his people so you better go and tidy up the houseโ
Almost forget that my suppose suitor is coming today.
โI donโt want what happened the other day to repeat itself again so if it do you will have to face your fatherโs angerโshe said and walked out.
I donโt know how I will make my parents to understand that am not ready for any marriage now,suitors keeps coming both handsome and ugly, wealthy and poor.
I keep on chasing them away by escaping or using any trick to secard them.

I tidy up the house, waiting for my so call suitor.
Around 2pm the supposed man came with his kinsmen, they were welcomed.
After the normally introduction as usual, I was called out to greet them.
The man looks so ugly, since I have been meeting suitors I have never seen someone so ugly like chimpanzee.
โMy daughter this handsome man came with his people to ask for your hand in marriage so we want to know if we can proceed the marriage or notโmy father said.
โGreetings my elders, please I will like to have a little moment with my husband to beโI said.
โThereโs no problem, you can go aheadโone of the elder said.
I took him to the backyard thinking on how to secard him out.
โSo mr man if I may ask, what do you do for a living?
โAm into exporterโhe said smiling.
โSo what did you export?
โI export goods like slippers, shoes, clothes and other materialsโhe said.
โOh I see! So why did you want to marry me beside you have not seen me before?
โI love you so much and you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen before, if you marry me I promise to make you happy for the rest of your lifeโhe sounded.
โIf I may ask, did you ask questions before coming?
โI donโt need to ask questions because I have known you already, you are humble, kindhearted indeed a wife materialโhe said with so much confidence.
โMy dear, you need to ask questions before coming to ask someoneโs hand in marriage because you donโt know what meant wait for youโI said and I can see the confusion written all over his face.
โWhat did you mean? He asked confusedly.
โCome let me show you somethingโhe followed me and I took him to my grandmotherโs grave.
โAm not who you think am I, this is my grave, I have been in this grave for the past two years so if know what is good for you run for dear life or you will be a dead personโI shouted serious with so much boldness in me rollting my eyes making it scary.

โWhere is that good for nothing daughter of mine that want to send me early to my grave, Angela! Angela!ย My father shouted with so much anger.
I ran out from the backyard.
He ran inside and brought out cutlass.

โFather am sorry, please forgive meโI pleaded running and dodging at the back of my mother.
โIf I did not kill this girl today call me a foolโhe shouted.
I have never seen my father so angry like this before.
โPlease my husband donโt kill her, you know she is our only child, please drop the cutlassโmy mother pleaded.
โIt is better for me to be childless than having one that keeps on disgracing me and want to kill me before my timeโhe shouted and keeps chasing me.
โFather am sorry, please forgive meโI shouted and ran away.

โWhat happen, why did your father want to kill you? She asked.
โWhat did you think it could be if not marriage issues again? I sat at the ground.

โYes I did but this one is worstโ
โWhat did you do?
โI secard him pretending to be ghostโ
โHaba Angela! How could you do such a thing?
โSee Rose, i donโt want to marry himโ
โAngela why did you keep on rejecting your suitors, people are talking that you are possessed, you belong to the marine world and have a spiritual husband thatโs why keeps onย rejecting all your suitorsโshe sounded.
I stood up and laughed and laughed.
โAngela is not a laughing matter, people are talking, they are saying all sort of rubbishโ
โRose leave them, let them talk, if people did not talk about that means you doesnโt existโ
โAngela I want you to tell me the truth as your friend and like a sister to you, why did you reject all your suitors? She asked.
I placed my hand on her shoulder, โSee Rose, I donโt love any of them, they donโt match to my taste, they donโt have the quality I need in a manโI said.
โWhat type of quality did you want that you have not seen in any of the men?
โI need a man that is caring, attractive, self control, honest, humble and nevertheless a man that will love me and adores me like the strange man in my dreamsโ
Oh my God! I just spilt it about the strange man I hope she doesnโt hear it.
โStrange Man! What strange man and dream are you talking about? She asked curiously.
โStrange man! No thereโs no strange man or dreamโI pretended.
โI heard it clearly Angela so donโt lie to me, we are friend we suppose not be keeping secrets rather we suppose to support and trust each other so tell me about the strange man and dreamโshe said being so serious to know.
How will I change the topic I canโt tell her about my dreams.
โCโmon tell me, am waitingโ
โIs nothing Rose, no strange man nor dreamโI said.
โI know you are lying to me but it is okay you will definitely tell me about it one dayโshe said.
Thank God she did not be too adamant to know beside why did I mention the strange man.
โSo are you going back to the house?
โNoooooo! Did you want my father to kill me, I will only go when is temper is calm and not now it is too hotโ
โOkay, thatโs means we have to go my houseโ
โI hope your mother is not at home?
โNope! She went out for a meeting, so lets goโ
Thank God her mother is not at home because am not ready to receive her insults, she has wronged me several times to stay away from her daughter that am a bad luck thatโs why I keep rejecting my suitors that she donโt want such a bad luck around her daughter.
