Chapter Two (I got to know him)

"Please try again Ma" he urged him. I followed suit. The case still same. I quickly hopped out of the car to save the poor man from suffering this with me. I saw the fruitlessness of his efforts if he continued further. At least he tried by showing his concern.

"Thank you Sir. You have really tried for me. But I wouldn't like you to waste your work time with me. I will manage" I told him.

He looked smilingly at me before giving his response to that "But I am not complaining. You said you have an important place to be at, so allow me to help you" he insisted.

My heart melted when I saw the kindness all written over his face. I haven't seen a man this kindly spoken and generous with his actions. He left to work to help me.

He wasn't even counting the wages he was going lose from his motor cycling business. He didn't care look the fact that even if I stay here for hours that I will still make earn my salary unlike him who earn dependably depend on daily efforts.

I stood speechlessly beside myself watching him zestfully pool his brains around all the engines of the car. He raised his eyes and gently obliged me to redo the restarting. I hopped back into the car and did exactly like I was instructed. The engines showed some signs.

"Try it again" He said. His eyes still bent into the bonnet. He never stopped trying his exertions. I tried restarting the car again, it showed a little more concern till it finally came back to life. I was dazed with happiness. I ran out of the car to show my gratefulness to him.

"Thank You sir" I thanked him. "Thank you for helping me get through this problem" He smiled so broadly at me without necessarily jumping into accepting my thankfulness.

He calmly brought down the cover of the engines till it came to its closure. He looked at me and said "It alright Ma. I am glad you can now be at your schedule on time" He told me.

I felt the need to appreciate him even further "Give me a minute" I told him. I rushed into the car to get my purse. At least, he deserved some kind of payment. The money that should have being thrown to the mechanic, let him have it. I came back to him with some notes of currencies on my hands.

"Please Manage this Sir. I know this is not enough to pay for your services. Please accept it from me" I was handling the money to him. He seemed unbeaten to take them from him.

"Thank you Ma but I don't need the money. You don't have to pay me for helping you. I guess human beings were created for each other. To be at each other's need. Thanks a lot, but I can't take them from you!" He stated. I was stoned with surprise. I couldn't believe it. Most men in his social class will straightly collect them from you and even beg to do more jobs like this for you. But this Man, He rejected them from me. What dazed me what his smiles among his difficult needs as a motor cyclist. I looked at his motor cycle. They seemed like one with lots of faults.

"Okay take it. At least, if not for anything, you used it to repair your motor cycle whenever it develops fault" I had persisted. He stared at me for a little while, I thought he was changing his mind to collect the money but he surprised me the more when he went back to his Cycle and rode off. But before he left, he reminded me his words.

"We don't always have to get paid for helping each other. We are created for each other" That was the last he said before riding off. I was staggered. This was my first time seeing a different personality of a man on the phase of the earth. No one will ever believe that a poor road side cyclist would reject a huge sum of money from me. Well, according to him, we must not always get paid for helping each other. I learnt it from him. He saved my day and he saved the meeting. All thanks to him.

After that moment of our encounter. I never stopped thinking about him. I began to feel the need to get my eyes on his kind self again. It felt like he made away with my heart. It felt like he webbed my heart with the softness of his tone whenever he speaks. He wasn't powerfully rich to match my class but he was able to steal my heart away with this unique attitude as a man.

I told my best friend, Lizzy Williams about him and my sudden affection for him. She gave me her full support. According to her, he can make me happy then why not I go for him.

Day come another day, it turned my daily routine in anticipatorily waiting for him to come around at the same place we had met. But he didn't show up. Not for a day did I see him again.

When I saw the empty holes my feelings were driving me to, I decided to entirely dissuade my feelings towards him.

I searched for him almost in all the holes of this city but didn't get to see him or anyone in his replica.

The worst was that I didn't even know his name. He never told me and I never got the chance to ask him.

When I almost though I lost him, he came back into show again when he coincidently helped me the second time with my misplaced smartphone and my Bank Teller card. What marveled me was the way he responsibly returned them to me without making funny use of them.

I loved the energies he exuded. I felt something deeper for him and he also felt such as well. He confessed that to me. I knew it was destiny trying to bring us together.

Warmly, I entered into a serious relationship with him. A relationship affair I thought would lead to marriage.

Just like father said, when you marry early and to the right person, you will enjoy. So, I saw that as an amazing opportunity to finally pen down my dreamt achievement.
