One Hundred and Sixteen

Gift was having the time of her life.

Desmond had kept begging her to marry him even to the point of involving her parents but she said she was not ready yet.

Desmond was contemplating getting married to someone else but he was still madly in love with Gift and didn't know what kind of marriage he would have loving another while being married to another. He felt it was going to be a miserable life. So he told himself to remain patient, Gift was going to come to her senses once she realised that she was not growing any younger. But he also wondered how long he would have to wait for her.

Gift had been invited my Chinonso to come visit him in Abuja.

She made all the preparations. Afterall, Chinonso had sent the money for her trip and any other necessities.

She planned on travelling to Abuja the next day. But she had to be with Desmond that night. Afterall, it had been the both of them since Nonso left for Abuja. She had started to think That Chinonso had forgotten about her.
