The Brown Rose

" What if I say I want to know you more, would you allow me?" His playful expression became a bit serious then playful again. " What do you mean by that? Why should you know me more?" Confusion was evident on her face. " I meant exactly that. I want to know you better, know more than your name, how does that sound?" He asked and looked down at her from above. " There is nothing to know about me. Am just a simple girl with a boring life, well that is what most of my friends tells me. Am anti-social so yeah, absolutely nothing exciting about my life." She looked up and met his focused gaze. ***** A short story of two individuals, ......... introducing: * Isis Dada Dester; a young radio presenter.

Dada

Days flew by hastily in GreyView city, and the evening wind was a bit cold. The skies outside had quickly darkened, and this was the perfect weather to snuggle and cuddle at home but it wasn't the same for her.

*** Galaxy FM studios. ***

" 'Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginnin'

Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you

I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh-oh' "

" Wooww wow!! That's a beau by a légende, a song by John Legend from his fourth album, 'Love in the Future'. This is a massive song that topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2014 with about 4.67 million copies sold at that time.

Well, when I heard it for the first time, I was in high school, and as a teenager it was at that time when I was beginning to fully comprehend the issues of romance.

It just so happened that this one particular male student from my neighboring school opted to sing it during the regional educational championships, and I fell in love with it instantly. But, who did he sing it for? Only he knows. Haha...

Anyway guys, let's try embracing both the perfections and imperfections of our other halves but mind you, all these really have to be worth the embrace. And coming towards the end of the show, the following two songs will wrap up our session. I hope you guys did enjoy, and next up we have 'Diamonds' by Rihanna which is to be followed by 'Whitney Houston, I will always you'.

This is " Cupid's Nest" on Galaxy FM, a place where you can relax and enjoy soothing music and much more while connecting with your loved ones. And, let love fill your home's tonight, this is your girl Dada and it's a goodnight from me."

A soft soothing feminine voice filled the small studio space. Its owner sitting on the host seat turned off the microphone and took off the headphones clamping her ears.

" My body aches so badly. And, the worst part is that I couldn't even sleep at all last night. I feel so sorry for my poor self, Lisa."

A young lady named Lisa walked towards Dada and sat on the former's seat. As if hit by something, she jerked up her head and stared at Dada.

An uneasy feeling enveloped Dada's heart due to the stare,

" What? Why are you looking at me in that way?"

A sly smile braced Lisa's lips and she let out a giggle,

" Nothing, nothing at all, but I was wondering if 'The Mighty Silvio kept you awake the whole night, hehe."

" What a great mind you have right there, and of course not. Nothing happened, okay. I was attempting to sort out my life to which I failed." Dada spoke as she stood up to stretch her stiff muscles.

Gently, she rubbed her lower back while yawning lazily. Quickly she packed up her belongings and shoved them into her big black back pack.

" I understand what you are saying. I too spent sleepless nights when I was pregnant with Rosa that I became a human panda and instead of gaining weight I ended up losing more than I gained. At one point, I even became frustrated that I thought of disappearing into thin air for a while. Not only that, the unfortunate thing is that Mike got deployed at that same time so I had to call my mom over for a couple of days."

" Can you even hear yourself, how can you compare the two when am not even pregnant. Besides, am going on an adventure, get to explore the countryside and maybe bring back a souvenir for you." A bright smile blossomed on Dada's heart shaped face.

Lisa looked on at the smiling Dada in amusement. She titled her head and rested it on her right palm.

" You made a good decision my dear Des. Introverts like you indeed need to go out there, explore and see how extroverts like me survive. Really, am happy that you finally are going to leave your cocoon behind and see the world."

With a smile spread on her face, Dada strengthened up to leave. " It's great isn't? Plus it's a two weeks leave, therefore am gonna try to make it up to myself for all these hard work."

Waving her hand at Lisa, Dada began walking towards the door with her bag resting on her back. " I will be taking my leave first. I have to rush home."

" What's the rush? Don't you wanna grab a bite before you leave." Lisa paused her speech before continuing again while she pointed at Dada's belly.

"Am sure you are hungry. There is this uncle next to the studio and his food is delicious. The crew is planning to order something to eat from there."

Dada shook her head at Lisa while she continued marching towards the door, " Nah, I don't think I will be able to join you guys, I really have to leave. See you when you see me, bye- byee."

" Byee." Chorused Lisa as she stood up to leave too.
