Love First Love

The city was great and awesome but I can't be alone forever. I need someone, I mean someone beyond my imagination and understanding. I have to honour my mom. I remember to have promised her that I will come back with a great and good news One day. Thanks to my uncle for introducing me to another faith. Every Sunday we could go and sit down in a certain building where people could worship and pray, dance and sing. I am not really familiar with the city's pin drop but I still need to be very familiar with it. The streets were so confusing. If not serious you can be moving round and round and round in circles of the same street. I want to give you an offer to my company Richard. How far have you gone with your education? I looked at him with a shameful face. Why are you so silent? "he wanted to know" I dropped off when I was in grade 7. oooh!!! The sound came from his children. I will still make your life great. Something happened to me when I was staying with your family so I must honour what I vowed to him. He was a good man with a good family. I nodded my head in agreement with what he said. I didn't want to know what he vowed to my father.

Everyone went to their respective rooms. I too. I didn't sleep rather gazing at the moon rising from the east side of the Manson. It's right shining over the swimming pool. What a great scene. The stars were very beautiful and well arranged in the sky. This made me to remember life in the village. Tomorrow is Sunday and I a'm invited to attend a conference at the familie's church for the first time. I'm not worried because all the clothes are now available.

I hagged her, she hagged back. It was very tight. I could feel her breasts touching my chest. Her beautiful clothes were all amazing. I could smell her amazing perfume. Sweetheart I really love you. I said it while holding her body squeezing it so tight closer to me. Only to discover it was a dream. I didn't expect it to be a dream. I hated myself. I wanted to be loved. There's a time to embrace love. I was ready to attend the Sunday service at my uncle's usual church. It is not good for a man to be alone he said. A man must find someone to be together I mean to live together!!....The preacher man stated. Get married to someone who will love and cherish you in bad and good times. I was amazed at how this preacher man said. All was about me. It's about time...I protested. I don't know how my parents will feel to see me getting married without their consent. We cannot have a traditional marriage since I am far from the village. I had enough resources including money but I can't just wake up and get married. I will but not now. I must get prepared to pay all what marriage requires.

The church was full again, the choir master raised up his hand towards his fellow team. I looked and watched. An amazing image looked at me I looked back. she was in the front line singing hymns of praise to God Almighty. I tried to ignore but it was hard. I looked down but the song changed my mind. Tears all over my body. The song was so amazing and touching to my soul. I don't know how to control myself. maybe because she is a beautiful lady singing? No one could respond to such a question. The congregation stood up joining the choir in singing I did. Those sitting down were considered as not serious. I could feel her closeness. A'm I wrong to feel like that? I continued singing as if nothing is happening within me. The preaching was powerful. I gathered my courage to meet with this amazing soul. I don't know how to make it happen but it will happen.

week's and week's passed by....I still had different ways to meet with this music girl. One day the church youth chair announced that all youths are to meet at the church in the afternoon. I rejoiced. Dancing and singing giving thanks to God with joy. Are you attending today's youth meeting? yes!!!! I responded without challenges. wow!! He left us eating. We packed our car behind the church premises. He didn't attend since he had another appointment with his workmates as a boss. I searched for the image I wanted to see but it was no where to be found. I patiently waited for her but she didn't made it. I started feeling out of place. I even forgot that I am on God's house. I was bored.

He came to pick us at exactly 5 pm. How was the youth meeting? I looked worried. Richard are you ok? I thought that lady will be there but she didn't make it. He laughed at me. I thought he will understand. "Sometimes it's good to accept it and move forward my son".....all is in your hands he said. I didn't sleep well that night. All I could dream was to meet with this amazing girl. A girl of my dream. I prayed for the days to run so fast. Sunday was slowly approaching. I hated it.

It was another great Sunday. I was really excited to see Aish singing. This time the choir changed it's position. Some few metres from where I sat. I didn't had some struggles in viewing where she was. I prayed. She gazed at me I gazed back. Some strange actions happened to my side. I think she has a certain power beyond my imagination. "it's time to welcome visitors!! "the pastor announced" I stood up and introduced myself.

Richard!!! a female voice was in the air. who is this one now? I don't want to be embarrassed. I looked back. A very beautiful image running towards my direction. Aisha!! she hagged me. I could feel her heart pumping so fast. 'what is it now Aisha? we need to talk she said. I closed my eyes and opened them again and again. "I really like you Richard" me.....? ooh no... Richard please I love you. I want you to be my first love. I didn't believe what she was focusing on. The chat was interrupted by uncle. "we have to go Richard. We are having a meeting this afternoon, "she whispered into my ears. Her whisper was like music of violin. The church hall was full of people the youth and middle aged. I looked around to see as to where she was but none. I wondered as to whether she meant it or not. LOVE FIRST LOVE. Though she was no where to be seen I could feel her presence. I tried to look around again and again. Boy girl relationship topic moved me. we gained a lot from the meeting. As the meeting was over, everyone was told to help carrying out chairs to the store room. I carried mine. All over sudden I bumped into something strange. Her things scattered all over the place. writing materials and whatever was in her handbag. I offered to help collecting all her item's. As I was trying to get a small book on the floor we met. Her blue eyes was my wish. We followed one another. As we were closer to the outside gate I noticed something. My uncles car wasn't there. Where is he? 'she wanted to know'.....I don't know but I can walk. "I will escort you since I stay alone" wow it was my first time in the news that she stays alone.

We walked in the street following the street to my uncles place. We had great stories along the way. Something sad happened. The gate's were closed and no one seemed to be at the gate. I knocked and shouted but none responded. I didn't had a cellphone I could have called uncle. Let's wait a little bit. Maybe they have gone out to a vocation. Maybe we left them in the city. I ignored all what she said. she had a great suggestion. We left the gate to where she wanted I to be. The skies indicated that it might be raining soon. The dark clouds made me to be terrified. All the street was dark already. One could only see street lights at a distance. The wind started blowing so hard. She changed her step's. I followed. within 30 minutes we reached at her place. It was a big beautiful house. I didn't feel the cold weather again. Welcome Richard! please be at peace. This is my house. I'm working with one of our country's communication company. She narrated everything. I paid antention to her story while taking tea with snacks. It started raining outside. I was happy because no one got soaked with the rain's.

This was my second time to sleep in girlfriend's house. I didn't had enough thoughts of how to propose to her. I looked at her amazing body and was satisfied with her. She could smell nicely even when she's not close to me. I watched her taking a bath. Everything was perfect. It was my turn to take a shower. she escorted me to the bathroom. Can you help me cleaning my back? It took some seconds for her to respond. yesss..,.... I'm willing. she grabbed the sponge and soaked it properly. it's scratch made me to feel comfortable. All over sudden she stopped. Where did you get these scars? She wanted to know more but I wasn't interested in telling her of what happened. In the middle of January last year I was drunk and it caused some violence in the bar. I remember to have sold some matoke from my village farm. 50 tambala was just enough to have two ladies by then. I sat at the bar corner taking the most expensive bottle of wine. Surrounded by beautiful pretty girls who were also being admired by some other prominent men in that year. I challenged them, they challenged back. I charged to attack them but it was too late. The pain's on my back waked me up. Where were you my son? She squeezed my back with a cloth soaked in warm water. It eased the pain's. I explained everything to her as to what happened. Papa stormed into my shamba very angry. He gave me two strong slaps. I cried out loud with anger. This made me to hate him the more. I understand Aisha whispered.

The bathing moment was awesome. I could feel that I am loved. Love first Love. No one can describe love. It's tail's cannot be seen by people but really effective. The bed was really nice and comfortable. I could feel her romantic presence. Her contours could be visible in my eyes. I could see her blue eyes in my imagination. When should we get married? I looked at her with more details. I suggest next two months. She laughed. I understand but next two months it's a little bit far. I know this is my first time to sleep here but it requires great preparations. What preparations are you talking about? The image of my uncle came up. Remember your uncle cannot refuse since you are Old enough to have a wife. I agreed to marry her next 4 weeks ahead. Was it wrong to marry her at a hasty stage? What will my uncle say about it? Fear entered my eyes. Her veverent embrace made me feel better than before. She deleted all my bad memories. It was already in the morning when she waked me up. I was reluctant to wake up but because it wasn't my house I did not hesitate. Tea was set before me. We enjoyed chatting. I didn't want to leave the house. Her presence made me to forget all my relatives. The time to say goodbye came so fast. she escorted me to my uncle's house. Some people are rich but not known. I was surprised to see her driving. The car was full of hymms. I could feel the presence of God within. The gate was still shut. I knocked at the gate. It was easy this time. The gateman welcomed me with great excitement and the sun was shining beautifully and there was no any sign of yesterday's rain's. I walked straight to my room. As I was closer to my doorway I heard a sound of a man coming from the other side. We exchanged some greetings. This is what I wanted. A man must explore Love. I hope she will make a good wife "he whispered" Everyone was happy with me. Their faces could be seen shining in Joy and happiness. I believe this is what they wanted.
