LOVE'S DEARTH
I cried uncontrollaby, though it started like a sob, my heart knew no reason for comfort, the pangs of death looked real beyond imagination of any vision i have ever had, how could this be i wondered ..........
It was a sunny yet gloomy day filled with the fun activities that goes with the season. He was preparing, working so hard to make ends meet, he had gone out of his place of abode as early as 5a.m as he usually does having the best time of his life in his prime as any youth would.
He had been a tale of love shattered , in better palance, a broken altar. Giving all for love but always short changed on the return. Now he comes in contact with an equilibrum in affection, her name was Cherry, a beauty to behold, disciplined, modest and above all, a devout to her religious beliefs. Did i hear you say impossible? So he thought at first. It was just too much of a virtue to be possessed by a single individual, amidst the wealth her family had and even at 24 she was still chaste ( a virgin) .
Damian had come in contact with her while he was grudgingly carrying out an office assignment. Who would have known what fate had in store for him on that day? That was the day of his rebirth.........
She was the third of a family of five, and at 22 years of age had already become a master degree holder. The favourite daughter of the MD/CEO of her father's enterprise. He bumped into her on the stairway and spilled coffee on her blouse, in his state of confusion, he could barely utter a word as he was star struck looking into her eyes as her beauty overwhelmed him and out of error took her phone in place of his and did not realise it until he got back to his office.
You could imagine the frustration on his face for someone who had earlier not wanted to run the errand and to make matters worse he could not unlock the phone due to some security settings, so he picked his office phone dialed his number, it rang and a cool lady like voice echoed on the other end ... Hello ! He kept mute and the voice resounded again Hello !! This time he mustered courage and reaponded in his husky voice Hello! And as he made to speak , she said " please are you the guy who took my phone in place of yours?" And he said " unfortunately I am "
She smiled and said " how can I get it back? I have some mails i need to send. I could come to you I don't mind. Where are you at the moment?" He gave her the address and within minutes she had arrived at the building. As she made her way to his office, virtually everyone who saw her took a second glance including the women because she was pretty and had a wonderful carriage.
Damian on the other hand was cute but a bit shy. He kept looking out from the entrance to his office every now and then. On getting to the 3rd floor of the building, she enquired from a lady where she could locate the office of Mr. Damian Adami and she was given the direction. Trust office people and their gist , within minutes word had gone round that the fair beauty was a friend of Damian's .
He met with her and they exchanged pleasantries as he ushered her into his office and offered her something to drink, she made herself feel at home which also helped him relax for she noticed how tensed he was , having a degree in Sociology and another in Psychology, it didn't take her long to notice it.
Now having made acquaintance of each other, the duo found out they had a good chemistry, they exchanged contacts and that was the beginning of their love.. Something out of the blues.
Damian was the second of a family of three whose father had died at age 5 and their upbring was a sole effort of their mother. He narrated his life's ordeal to her even at 28years of age he had been through a whole lot. Including some circumstances that could have led him to lead life on the negative but God's grace had kept him coupled with his mother's prayers. He had at one point had encounter with certain men of the underworld that had him lead a life of withdrawal and shyness from social activities. Originally he was a go getter.
As the relationship grew his original nature began to unfold, they loved each other, words can not qualify the love. You would always notice the sparkles in his eyes whenever she was around. He had taken her to his mother who approved of her before she knew her parents were business moguls. Her father also approved of him for he was a lovable person.
The families got together, fixed a date and their wedding was talk of the town for close to a year. Months later they welcomed a set of twins, a boy and a girl, the love within the family grew even stronger. At this point, Damian had become so wealthy because he had partnered with his in-laws on a project that turned out to be a huge success and it established him. On the eve of the 7th year anniversary of the birth of the twins, calamity struck when robbers had invaded the mansion of the Adamis , emptied the treasury within the house and as they made to leave tried to kill Damian but Cherry took the bullet but she gave up the ghost on the way to the hospital....
