Chapter Nine

" I have observed you blushing regularly since this week, I wonder if you share with your mother the secret" I turned from the window side that I was standing, "not yet mum, not yet, I said turning away from her, "Have you found a man" Becca, I know she could read me and also using that name whenever she asking a sensitive question, I covered my face with my palm, "who is he" she came to stand with me touching my shoulder, "his name is Sam, a very nice guy Ma and I would introduce you to him when the times comes, he is so nice mum"  "I hope he is, I don't want you getting hurt, you know you have a very big plan for your future, be careful, Becca" I nodded, I know she was worried and I don't want to ever hurt her, "how is Dad faring" I asked, she sat at the edge of my bed, " I hope he gets well soon"  " he will "  "Am going to prepare dinner why don't you join me" she stood and left, she was really bother about dad and he hasn't taken proper medication, I was also worried about him, he has to use the money of my fees to pay, I can't watch him suffer anymore, I went downstairs to help Mum with dinner.

"what is bothering you" Sam asked brushing a strand of hair from my face, we were sitting at the mountain, it was the best place we now come to relax, "I have come to realize how much I love you so if you feel the same way as I do you, would you share all your worries with me" he said bending down to peck me, " "i love you" he whispered in my ear, my heart was filled with deepest kinds of emotions, I stared deep in his eyes, eyes that I felt so welcome in, I didn't know when it happened but I now realized that i love him more than I can ever imagine, "I love you too" he turned and gave me a kiss, "Then tell me what is bothering you"  "My dad is suffering from heart attack and am very worried about him"  he brushed away the tears that rolled down my eyes before hugging me, "he's going to be alright just have faith" I smiled into his arm resting my head or his chest and listening to his heartbeat......I stayed there for a long time not thinking about anytime just feeling the warmth of someone who care, I pray I won't disappoint mum or anybody, I hope he would be the perfect man for me.He drove me home, "Don't you want to invite me inside, he smiled,  " I turned looking at a place I call home, "not now, it not yet the right time" I smiled. He held my hand till his warmth enveloped me.

I thought that I have fallen in love with a good man not knowing what I was going into.
