CHAPTER 133:TRUE LOVE.

Milka continued massaging her hair as she applied olive oil on it. She looked at Ivana, and like someone who had doubts with what she had just heard. So she was contemplating on asking Ivana if true love still exist. If yes then she was disappointed with what Paul did. 

Despite the fact that Ivana had made her to feel free around her, Milka still had fear in her. She couldn't ask Ivana questions that are closely related to her marriage. 

Ivana's eyes were closed when Milka massaged her scalp. She was so relaxed, but the silence between them made her open her eyes. She looked at Milka and she knew that Milka had a doubting issue. So she opted to free her by asking, "What are you thinking?"

"You think true love still exist?" She asked with fear but she needed an answer for that. Ivana was the only person she was comfortable asking, now that atleast she have tasted marriage.

"Yes true love still exist, you just have to be patient with yourself and the person you will be dating,"Ivana said Ivana said with a smile knowing that she was in true love one upon a time. The time and moments she was scared of thinking and remembering.

Milka paused in massaging her and squirted her eyes as she scratched her forehead slightly.

"I don't think if true love still exist Ivana, Judging from what happened between you and Sir Paul. You know Ivana you were my celebrated power couple, but now after what just happened I guess I will die single." Milka poured out her heart.

Ivana moved from her laps and sat upright on the couch, she turned and looked at Milka. "You cant decide for your fate basing on my marriage,Milka no one is perfect, just know that true love still exist" Ivana said.

Ivana wished that she could tell Milka about her First and true love when she was in campus. With her love between her and Samuel, Milka would have agreed with her that true love is still available.

She was not ready for anybody to judge her that she still wished to have Samuel in her life. If only she could be able to reverse time. She will be in Samuel's arms right now. 'I wish I had fought for our love Sam, just as you wanted' She smiled alone not knowing that Milka was sitting infront of her.

"Why are you smiling?" Milka asked.

"Who?me? I am not smiling I just remembered something back then in school." She lied to her.

"I saw that smile I think it was a good memory." She said with a smile. "I wish I was in your position Ivana, I will be having good memories like you. You are lucky your in group of school's unlike me who went to a local school that lacked social amenities."

Ivana fidgeted in the couch as she positioned herself ready to listen to Milka's school story.

"I was raised in a children home, actually I don't remember my exact age because I don't even know the exact date I was born. I always estimate my age by comparing myself with girls who are the same size like me. 

Life in children home was not that easy, if you wanted to join a good highschool after your Primary education, you had to find yourself a sponsor or well-wishers to fund for your education. So us girls it was had to find a sponsor because most of them had a fear of a girl might disappoint them by getting pregnant and dropping out of school. So the children's home patron whom by then used to be a teacher at a local school used to admit all the girls who were not lucky to get sponsorship in that school.

She was a teacher at that school that's why it was easy for her. Our school fees was being deducted from her salary."

"What's the name of that patron?" Ivana asked her when she paused.

"She is a retired nun and teacher now she is called Nun Teresa, but we used to call her Mama Teresa because of her motherly character."

"Sometimes we used to be send back home, okay not home but children home because if the school fees. Sometimes we could do laundry from the neighborhood so that we can raise school fees."

Milka looked at Ivana and realized that she was almost shedding tears as her eyes were watery. "No, Ivana don't cry because I will think that you are pitying me. Actually this is the fast time I am sharing my story, so please don't cry. Remember you are pregnant and your mood will affect the baby"

"How can I control my tears when your story is touching, I don't think Ican do that. But I don't know, lately I have become a cry baby."

"I think it's because of pregnancy, I know you are the strongest person I have ever seen."

"Milka I want to know what made you think of becoming a maid?" Ivana was so anxious to know what happened next she wanted the full story.

"Promise me that you won't shed any tear, I don't want to be responsible for the gloomy face of your kid when you give birth" Milka said jokingly.

"Those are just myths Milka" she chuckled.

What do you want for lunch?" Milka asked, trying to change the story.

"I want fresh vegetables fried, Ugali and fresh juice. Don't tell me it's alot remember I am eating for two" Ivana said then chuckled softly.

"Yes Ma'am for two what if for three?, I am just joking. Anyway Ivana I think I will have to go to the grocery for veggies because we have none left"

"No, I think we will pick th from the shamba, I told you I want fresh, everything fresh. I will accompany you, I just don't want to lazy around. Perhaps let me walk around when I am still in my first trimester because in the second and third I bet you will be pushing me around on the wheelchair.
