Episode 1
"Morning beautiful, how was your night? I thought about you before i slept as usual and I woke up thinking of you, I love you so much Ava. I'm really blessed to have you in my life...
Make sure you observe your quiet time, and put me in your prayers, okay? I can't wait to see your beautiful face...ok..uhm...bye"
I press send to the voice note I just recorded for Ava, cliche I know but I just can't help it.
I start getting ready for school, I already observed my quiet time and I prayed mostly for Ava and our future together.
'Ava Ava Ava Ava Ava Ava Ava Ava'
That's what has been going through my mind ever since that day.
And I can't keep the silly smile off my face.
**************************************
"Morning Mum, morning Dad" I say with a smile and jump down from the stairs and head to the dining table to eat.
"Morning.. What's got you so happy these days?"
I just shrug but I keep on smiling.
I eat quickly so as to get to school on time.
School does not feel like a prison anymore.
I text Ava on my way to meet me at the bench.
I wait there impatiently looking around every time.
Few minutes later someone tap me.
Yeah, yeah, as usual but this tap is different cos it brings a wide smile on my face.
Honestly, I think my mouth will tear if I keep smiling like this.
"Hi Kevin"
She smiles.
Something jumps up in my body.
"Hi" I say with a whisper.
I clear my throat.
"Hi" I say properly.
She sits down beside me.
I want to hug her and hold her very close but I am too shy to do it.
We just sit down, both of us smiling like idiots not knowing what to say.
"Did..."
"We.."
We say together and we laugh.
"You go first" she says.
"Did you get my voice note?" I almost say in a whisper.
"Yeah" she replies with a shy smile and put her head down.
"So...uhm.. Did..did you like it?" I say a little bit nervous.
"Yes" she says with her head raised up.
"I loved it actually, thank you Kevin" she puts her hand on one of mine and I freeze.
She realizes and wants to remove her hand, but I hold her hand.
We start smiling again looking at each other's eyes.
"I think we started our first class already." Ava says.
I check the time and we are 30 minutes late.
Oh shoot.
"Let's go." I say
We run off together holding hands.
We will always be like this.
Us, against the world.
Or so I thought.

Episode 2
The time I spend with Ava apart from the time I spend with God is one of the best moments of my life.
Every time I see her I feel so blessed cos this wonderful girl is mine.
My life is perfect right now.
I'm happy.
I'm joyful.
Two months and I still feel so much for her.
I smile more and my parents noticed it.
"Kevin"
"Yeah Mum" I say looking up from my phone.
We are in the sitting room, just chilling after our meal.
"I've noticed something different about you"
"Really? What?"
"You seem happy and at peace"
"And is that a bad thing?"
No... I just want to know what's got you happy"
"Uhm.. it's God"
"Hmm" my mum says with a certain defined smile.
"Mum, what?" I say with a smile.
"I smell something fishy, Kevin. Who is she?"
I face palm.
"What makes you think it's a girl?"
"I'm your Mother son, I know what's up"
I laugh.
"Alright alright. There's this girl....."
I tell her about Ava and after all the long love story my Mum says
"I want to meet her, personally"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Why?"
"I have my reasons"
"Wow... I will tell her and get back to you."
"Alright"
She goes up to her room.
I'm so happy right now.
I can't wait to see and tell Ava.
Everything is perfect.
So I thought.
Penshalom

What are her reasons??
Next update: Tomorrow

Wonderful story keep it up dear

Episode 3
I woke up to go to school that morning which is on Monday more eager than ever to get to school.
I saw Ava in church on Sunday but I didn't get to tell her we didn't really talk much and even when I called her later at night she sounded really tired so I had to cut our conversation short, she was busy with the welfare unit in church but today I will.
**************************************
"Hey man" I greet one of my friends, Michael after my first class.
You remember him?
"Wow, Kevin, wow.. it's been a while, wow"
"What's with all the "Wows"?" I say rolling my eyes.
"I'm just surprised you talked to me.. I mean, you've stopped talking to us ever since you started that project...."
"Oh. My. God" He gets interrupted by one of my friends, Tayo.
"Hey, T"
"Kevin" He jumps on me in an attempt to hug me and I almost fall.
"I missed you bro"
I hug him and laugh.
"I missed you too T"
He releases me from the hug.
"What's been up with you, T?"
"Nothing much, it's been the same"
"So man, I hear you are dating Ava"
Michael says.
"Uhm, yeah" I say looking down.
"This is epic.... Kevin... are you being shy right now??"
"Shut up"
They both laugh and I just roll my eyes.
"This is really surprising tho, I mean you hated her existence itself" Tayo says
I just shrug.
"Anyway, there is a thin line between love and hate."
Yeah, I guess" I reply.
"And I also hear you've been to church"
"Yes"
"So you are now a 'born again'?"
"You say that like it's a bad thing"
"I just don't see the fun in it"
"Well, being a 'born again' is one of the best things that has happened to me and I really hope you become one too"
"Hmm" Michael says.
Tayo just keeps quiet.
"Well I gotta go, I want to see Ava"
"Alright then"
"See you guys around"
I run off to our spot.
**************************************
"Sorry I'm late" I say with a sheepish smile as I sit down beside Ava.
"It's okay.. I just got here like 5 minutes ago, I had to turn in an assignment. I missed you"
Those last three words makes my breath get caught in my throat. I could not say anything.
"Kevin, hey... Are you okay?" She waves her hand in my face.
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, just surprised"
"Why?"
"You saying words like that is really rare"
"Oh"
"Yeah, and I missed you more"
She smiles widely.
"Anyway I want to tell you something"
She urges me to continue.
"My Mum wants to meet you".
She looks at me shocked.
" WHAT?!!!!"

Episode 4
"Seriously, Ava, do you want to spoil my eardrums?" I ask her cos she screamed so loud.
She opens and close her mouth repeatedly.
That makes me laugh.
"Why...why...d....does..she want to meet me?"
"Is that a valid question?"
She nods her head.
"My Mum wants to meet the girl that changed my life"
"But I didn't change you, God did"
"God used you"
"He could have used anybody.."
I touch her lips to keep her mouth shut.
"He could have used anybody but he used you, stop making excuses, you are meeting my parents"
"I just have a bad feeling about it"
"You are just scared, my parents are cool people... they will like you"
She sighs.
"Please, please, pretty please say yes, please, please" I continue saying kissing her hands.
"You don't play fair"
I smile in return.
"When am I meeting them?"
"Yes" I exclaim shooting my hands up.
She laughs.
"This Saturday? 7pm? " I say
"Uhm...okay... I still feel somehow about this tho"
"It will be fine Ava... I love you, Ava.. I love you so much" I say with all my heart.
"I love you too Kevin"
"Let's go... I will walk you to class"
And off we go.
**************************************
'What do I wear??'
I start looking through my wardrobe, flinging out my clothes in the process.
I want to look extra handsome today for Ava and also today is a special day.
'What do I wear??'
I finally settle for a black long sleeve shirt which I'm still going to roll it's sleeve and a black jean.
I take my bath for the third time today.
I put gel on my hair.
A golden wristwatch on my hand.
Deodorant on my clothes.
And a red sneakers.
Do I look okay?
Will Ava like this??
'Oh, come of it Kevin, you look good.' I say to myself and go downstairs at 6:50pm.
I check the dinning and see everything is set.
"You look handsome son"
My Mum says and she looks beautiful in her golden dress.
"You look beautiful, Mum" I say.
Then the bell rings..
**************************************
"That must be her" My Dad says
"Yeah" I say and it comes out as a whisper.
I clear my throat.
"Yeah... Excuse me"
I open the door who I see blows me away..
Ava is wearing a red dress a little bit above the knees.
A cute golden sandal.
A black chain bag.
And her hair is styled beautifully.
She looks simple but elegant.
Thinking of it now, we sort of match in our dressing.
"Well, can I come in?" Ava says bringing me out of my reverie.
"Uh, yes.." I open the door wider and she steps in.
I close the door.
"You look beautiful"
"Thank you" Ava replies shyly.
"Let's go" I lead her to the dining where my Dad and Mum are seated already.
"Dad, Mum.. Meet my girl, Ava"
"Good evening Sir and Ma" Ava says.
"Yeah, sit down" My Mum says a little bit irritated.
Weird.
We both sit.
Nobody says anything at first, my Mum keeps assessing Ava which is making her uncomfortable. It is making me uncomfortable
She clears her throat and looks straight into Ava's eyes.
"So, you are the leech" my Mum says
"Uh, what?" Ava says, looking shocked
"You heard me, dear" my Mum says with a devilish smile on her face.
Ava still looking shocked.
My Dad with a passive look.
And me? I am speechless.
Penshalom

Did anyone predict this?
Till next time guys.

Leech: A person who clings to another for personal gain, especially without giving anything in return, and usually with the implication or effect of exhausting the other's resources.

Episode 5
To say the atmosphere is tense is an understatement but my Mum is not feeling it, I think.
"What is your name again?"
"A.... Ava"
"Listen here Ava, whatever it is you are planning on my son should stop now. I know your type, you are looking for where you will get money from and turn your lowlife around but not with my son... this will be the last time I will talk to you, whatever relationship you have with my son should stop now... Okay?"
Ava could not speak.
"Mum" I say
"What?"
I look at my Dad.
"I agree with your Mum Kevin. I mean, birds of the same feather flock together, you both are totally different people, it's not pleasant to hear that my only son is dating a girl from a family with no "Name"....."
"Dad..." I say in a whisper, I can't believe what I'm hearing.
I look at Ava, she has her head down, I wonder what she's feeling right now.
"Come on, let's eat" my Mum says.
I look at her surprised.
Eat?
I hear a chair move and I look towards the direction and see Ava stand up.
"I have to go"
"My dear, eat before going, God knows the next time you will eat a food like this"
Ava takes a deep breath and then start running out.
I run after her.
"Ava, Ava....."
She didn't wait and eventually she gets a cab leaving me standing out in the cold.
I storm back inside.
"What the hell was that?" I demand angrily.
"Are you talking to me like that? Is that what you are taught in church? Disrespecting your parents? All because of that shallow girl? I'm just trying to help you, Kevin" my Mum replies.
"Really? How? By insulting her?"
"I was just stating the truth"
"Kevin, we are just trying to secure your future.........." my Dad says
I didn't let him finish as I storm back to my room.
**************************************
"Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up Ava" I mutter to myself as I try calling her for the 20th time.
I've been calling and texting and I've been getting no replies.
I just want to talk to her, I just want to know she's okay.
I try calling again but it says the number is switched off.
I try 3 more times and I get the same thing.
I angrily throw my phone on the floor and sit on the bed.
Today is a total disaster, thanks to my mother.
Penshalom.

I'm sorry for posting this late, ive been really busy..NYSC accommodation ish, I just got settled in
Hope you guys didn't have a day as stressful as mine.
Goodnight gems

Episode 6
The following morning I bathe earlier cos I did not sleep all night.
I leave home early so I will get to church before the service starts, hopefully Ava gets there early.
I did not take my car, I have to walk to clear my head.
I've been trying Ava's number and it's still off.
My phone's screen broke last night but who cares.
I get to church and wait outside for Ava and luckily she comes in ten minutes after I did.
I rush to her.
"Ava"
She looks up and what I see breaks my heart.
**************************************
Her eyes does not have the usual happiness.
This is the first time I'm seeing Ava without a smile on her face.
"Kevin" she says in a whisper that I almost didn't hear it.
I pull her into a hug and she cries into my shoulder.
And I cannot help the ones in my eyes too, I let them fall.
"I'm sorry I ran out on you Kevin"
I pull back and look into her eyes.
"I should be the one apologizing, I'm sorry for pushing you into this mess, I'm sorry about my parents, I'm really sorry Ava"
She puts a hand on my cheek and I lean into it.
And then she smiles and that brings a smile on my face too.
"God got us Kevin"
I smile wider.
"God got us" I repeat.
"I have to go to the restroom to wash my face"
"Oh.. okay"
"I'll see you inside"
And then she walks off.
I go inside the church feeling happy and refreshed.
Thank you God.
**************************************
"And where have you been young man?" My Mum says as soon as I got inside.
I groan.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"Today is Sunday.. of course I went to church Mum"
"Don't you dare use that tone of voice with me"
I keep quiet.
"You left home as early as 6am and I know your service does not start until 9am.... Did you go and meet up with that excuse of a girl?"
That statement makes me see red.
"You can insult me all you want Mum but please don't insult Ava. I beg you"
"Can you see? The girl is turning you against me.. You are now talking back at me because of a common girl. You were never like this, you were a good boy..."
That statement makes me laugh.
"You don't know me Mum, that girl you are insulting, God used her to change me and I'm more happy with her more than I've ever been with either of you"
I leave her and head to my room, I didn't even bother looking back even when she calls my name repeatedly.
The sound of door to my room is my reply.
Penshalom

It's getting hot.. drop your comments.
Till tomorrow guys
#kisses

Nice one dear,more inspiration following this to the end

This is complicated but never let go of Ava if your love is real, it may not be smooth @ first but with time, am almost facing the same thing here

Episode 7
"No matter what happens Kevin, you do not disrespect your parents"
"She was insulting you, I had to say something and I don't even think I disrespected her"
I say with a shrug.
I just told Ava what happened on Sunday.
"Your parents are your parents, they gave birth to you, without them I would not have met you, they matter more than I do"
I shake my head furiously.
"You matter more"
"Okay okay, remember what the Bible says tho in Exodus 20:12, honor thy father and thy mother so that your days maybe long on earth."
I sigh.
"It's really hard when they keep annoying me"
"Promise you will be patient with them"
"Why are you so nice? .....I promise"
"Thanks love"
I smile like a fool.
Damn, I'm a goner.
**************************************
"I'm sorry about yesterday Mum"
She doesn't reply just keeps typing on her laptop.
I put my arms around her.
"Sweet Mum, I'm sorry, hun?"
She sighs.
"Alright, alright.. I've heard you"
"Okay, smile for me"
"Kevin"
"Come on" I start winking at her.
She bursts out laughing.
I actually feel some peace in my heart now that we are okay.
"You are such a charmer" she says patting my head.
"Let me leave you to your work." I start taking my leave.
"Wait Kevin"
I look back.
"We'll be having visitors this evening for dinner.. important visitors, so put on your best behavior and best dress.. Versace or something"
"Alright.. who are they?"
"You'll see but it's a nice surprise" She winks at me.
"Alright" I start leaving.
"8pm tonight" She shouts.
"Got it" I shout back.
I wonder who it is.
**************************************
"You look cute son" my Mum says with a wink.
"I'm not cute... I'm HOT"
She laughs.
"It really smells good in here" I say
"They are important visitors" my Mum says.
"Hmm"
"Here comes my King" my Mum says as my Dad ascends from the stairs.
He moves to Mum when he got down and they are actually leaning close.
"Eww..gross... not here please" I say, a little bit grossed out.
They both laugh.
"You look perfect Kevin" my Dad says.
"I know"
"Narcissist"
We all laugh.
"It's 8pm already" my Mum says eagerly.
Who are these people?
And the door bell rings...
"Here they come.. Matt please get the door" She calls the butler.
The door opens and two elderly people walk in.
A man and woman.
They both look familiar.
"You are welcome to our home, Frank" my Dad greets him with a hug and my Mum hugs the woman.
"This is Kevin" my Mum says
"Good evening Sir and Ma"
"Good evening"
After all pleasantries I start going the dining but my Mum's next words stop me.
"Where is she?"
"Oh, she's coming" the woman replies.
Where is who?
Who is coming?
Penshalom

Yeah loves, who is coming?
Why is Kevin's Mum so excited?
Drop ya comments.
Next update: Tomorrow
Yeah.. Happy new month, may the Lord perfect all your ways.

Hmm, it is well

Episode 8
The questions are still on my mind and I turn to ask my Mum.
"We are still expecting someone?"
"Yes" my Mum says excitedly.
Few seconds later, the door opens and I look up to see who it is.
My breath stops.
"Ashley" I say with a gasp.
"Hi Kevin" she replies with a sly smile.
"Why are you here?"
"Come on Kevin, don't be rude... Let's move to the dining everyone" my Mum says.
I pull her back.
"What's happening here Mum?"
"Patience son, patience". She pats my cheek and goes to the dining leaving me curious, eventually I follow her.
**************************************
We are all eating when Ashley's Dad broke the silence.
"Dave, we want you to know we already got Ashley's consent" Ashley's Dad says referring to my Dad by name.
Were they always close?
"That's nice, Frank"
"Wow... I'm so happy. Thank you dear." My Mum says smiling at Ashley
Weird conversation but I keep eating and then I feel eyes on me.
Ashley and her parents are all looking at me.
"Uhm, is something on my face?"
I ask looking around the table, my Mum and Dad are avoiding my eyes.
"We are just wondering what you feel about the engagement" Frank says.
"What engagement?" I ask confused.
I look over to my parents but they are still not looking at me.
"Yours and Ashley's engagement of course"
The cutlery on my hand fall on the floor.
"What?!"
"Dave, you've not told him?"
"Uh..uhm..we..we are just getting to it"
I get up from the dining and run outside, I suddenly could not breathe again.
"Kevin"
I turn around.
"You agreed to this?" I say almost immediately I see who it is angrily.
"Why won't I?"
"Why would you? You know I have a girlfriend"
She scoffs.
"Well now you have a fiance"
"YOU ARE NOT MY FIANCE AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ASHLEY"
She moves closer to me not a bit shaken by my angry words.
"It's better you wake up to reality Kevin, We. Are. Getting. Married. She says poking my chest at each word.
She turns around but not without smiling at me.
"By the way, your food is getting cold" she calls out and slams the door.
This is so messed up.
How did it get to this?
I'm so confused right now.
What do I do?
What do I tell Ava?
Penshalom

I like Ashley's confidence, sorry #teamAva.
Till next time guys.

Happy Sunday

Episode 9
I could not sleep last night.
I've not slept since Monday night and I've not been in school since then.
I switched off my phone too.
I've losing lots of sleep these days.
The dinner turned awkward and eventually they left but not before Ashley pecked my cheek.
Thinking about it still gives me the creep.
"You look horrible Kevin" my Mum says with a gasp as I get down from the stairs.
She's dressed up ready for work, I guess.
I didn't even answer her, I just go straight to the fridge and take out a bottle of water and start heading back to the game room.
I've locked myself in there since that fateful day.
"Kevin, I know you are angry but we are just securing your future."
"Securing my future, ha"
"Kevin"
"You are not securing my future, you are dictating my future for me"
"We are just helping you...."
"Did you even think about how I feel about all this?"
"Come and sit down Kevin" she pulls me to the sitting room.
"Kevin, you know this deal will help our business, it will make it stronger, you are our future, we have to find a way to secure your future for you..."
"So I should marry a woman I don't love cos of business?"
"Who cares about love?"
"I do... I already have someone I love and you know it Mum"
"That girl is nothing, she's not going to help you at all."
"Mum I love her, and she means everything to me."
"You can't..."
She gets interrupted by the door bell.
"Matt, get the door"
**************************************
"Umm, good morning ma"
I look up when I hear that voice and I don't know when I stand up.
"Ava"
"Kevin"
"What are you doing here? Have I not warned you never......"
"Mum" I call her name, warning her and she knows I'm not in the mood now.
"Thank your stars I'm almost late for a meeting. Girl, by the time I get back I want you gone"
She hisses and leave, slamming the door as she goes out.
"Ava... I..."
She moves closer and hugs me and I hug her tight.
I missed her.
"I love you Ava"
"I love you Kevin"
She pulls from the hug but I didn't let go, at least not yet.
She chuckles.
"If your Mum sees us like this, I will be in so much trouble than I am already"
I pull from the hug.
"You look horrible Kevin"
I laugh.
"Your body feels warmer than normal.. seems like you are running fever..." Ava says.
"Let's get out of here first"
I pull her to the game room.
**************************************
"Were you worried about me?" I ask Ava.
She shrugs.
"Admit it you were worried" I say playfully.
"Pfft" She waves me off.
"Admit it......."I could not finish the sentence cos I had to cough.
Ava feels my head.
"Kevin, you are burning up" Ava says in alarm.
"I will be fine" I say weakly.
"No, lie down"
I do as she says and she covers me with a duvet.
She rushes in the bathroom and brings out a bowl with a small towel, and places the wet towel on my head.
"Have you eaten?"
"No"
"You have to eat to take drugs. You have a cook right? Let me get something for you to eat" She dashes out.
About 30 minutes later, she comes back with a plate of rice and chicken, she feeds me, I could only eat little tho.
"I have to tell you something Ava"
"Take your drugs first"
"These drugs makes you sleep, I have to tell you before I take them....."
"Later Kevin, tell me later, for now, your health matters"
"But...."
"Hey" she says in an attempt to scold me.
I sigh, I take the drugs and in about 5 minutes I am feeling sleepy and weak, I lie on the bed.
"You will still be here, right?" I ask Ava weakly.
"I will always be here Kevin. Now sleep"
Few seconds later the drug completely take over and I sleep off.

Episode 10
"Wake up Kevin"
I hear a voice and a hand shaking me.
"Kevin..."
I open my eyes and look up.
I stare straight at her.
"What are you doing here? Where is Ava?"
"I came cos I heard you are sick and your Mum sent her home"
I groan and sit up on the bed.
I still feel the headache but it's mild.
"I can't believe you are still seeing her, that's called CHEATING you know"
"What time is it?"
"It's 9pm and you are not answering me"
"I'm sorry, did you ask a question?" I ask sarcastically.
She sighs.
"I don't want to see her around you anymore"
"What gives you the right to say that?"
"I'm your fiance..that gives me the right"
"You are not my fiance and you will never be"
"Tch Tch.. same old story Kevin... stay away from her Kevin or I will make life hell for her and it's not a threat, it's a warning, don't forget I got your Mum's support"
"Ashley..."
"Shhh.... Good night sweetie, see you in school tomorrow" she turns and leave the room.
How do I get out of this??
I lie back on my bed thinking of a way out.
**************************************
"You look better now"
"I don't look horrible again?"
She laughs.
"You look cute"
"Don't call me cute, girls are cute"
"What are you then?"
"I'm HOT"
"Shut up" she laughs again.
"You know, we just have a month left before we graduate?"
"Yeah"
"It just seems like yesterday when I started school about 4 years ago.. "
"Time flies... it's been long I saw you in church Kevin"
I smile sheepishly.
"Guilty as charged... I will start coming now"
"How is your relationship with God recently?"
"Uh... fine"
"Kevin...."
"Okay... not so good... it's just that I've been caught up in a lot of things... I will try and rectify it"
"Please do... your spiritual life is the most important thing.. it determines what happens in the physical"
"Yeah.. I will change"
"Alright... I'll see you later then.. I got some errands to run for my Mum"
"Okay.. I would have dropped you off but I got school work piling up and I have to meet up especially my final year project"
"It's okay.. bye dear.."
She waves at me and walk away.
How do I balance my spiritual life with all these going on around me?
It is well.
I sigh and walk off to the library.

Ava's POV (Surprised?)
Something just doesn't seem right and I don't know what it is.
I'm supposed to pray but I don't know what to pray about.
Something is just weird but what is it?
These thoughts fill my head as I walk down towards the library but something or should I say someone blocks my way.
Ashley, she's been trying to talk to me these days but I always avoid her, I don't want trouble.
I try moving around her but she blocks my way along with her two friends.
"Finally I get to talk to the mistress" she says with mockery and disdain.
"That looks expensive, he's paying you for extra time?" She says with disdain pointing to the bracelet Kevin gave me, it has our name engraved on it.
"What is it Ashley?"
She moves towards me menacingly and I step back but she moves towards me with every step I take.
"Listen to me attentively girl. STAY AWAY FROM KEVIN" She screams in my face.
She already attracted a lot of attention so people were around us, watching.
"Why should I?"
"Listen up everyone, this girl is not who you think she is, she's a pretender, she's dating my fiance"
"Fi... fi...fiance?"
"Yes, Kevin is my fiance, so leave him, else I will make your life a living hell"
"I don't believe it"
"Ashley, what do you think you are doing?"
I look towards that voice.
"Kevin, is it true?" I say with shaky voice, hoping it's not true.
**************************************
Kevin's POV
I was in the cafeteria, I wanted to buy something for Ava for lunch cos I know she skips lunch most times when a guy came and alerted everyone.
"Ashley's at it again"
Well, Ashley has always been a drama queen so I didn't bother.
Most people stood up and started running towards the library.
"With who?" A guy asked.
"Ava"
That got my attention.
"Ava..my Ava?" I asked the guy.
"Yes"
I sprinted to the library.
It was when I got there that I realized Ashley has spilled the beans and when Ava turned to me and asked the question, I knew that I am in trouble.
"Ava I can explain." I say trying to hold her hands.
"Don't touch me" she says
"Please...."
She didn't let me finish, she ran away.
I turn to Ashley.
"I hope you are happy now"
"Well of course I am"
I shake my head and run after Ava.
I find her in our spot, crying.
The sight breaks my heart.
"Ava please, I can explain"
"Really? I'm listening"
"You see..the...uhm...my..uhm..parents and hers wants us to get married for business purpose but I swear I've never consented to it"
She laughs but it's a sad laugh, if it's anything like that.
"You never consented? And you think it matters? Your parents want it, you have their blessing Kevin.. it does not matter if you don't.. And you did not bother telling me"
"I wanted to Ava, I really wanted to tell you but there was never a right time"
"Well today seems like the right time.. Ashley made sure I heard."
"Ava please.."
"Well I wish you a happy relationship and happy married life in advance" She says standing up.
Those words hit me hard, my heart start hammering hard in my chest.
"Ava it's you I want.. it's you I love.."
"I love you too Kevin but I think we need a break"
"Ava no no no.. Please no.." I say desperately.
"I'm sorry Kevin but I have to go" she says with tears streaming down her eyes and run off.
I just stand there, watching her leave as I hear the last piece of my heart, break.

Episode 12
Ava's POV
"Whoa you are home earlyyyyy......" my Mum was saying and her voice trails off as she sees my face.
I rush into my room and fall on the bed as I cry m heart out.
"Baby, what's wrong?" My Mum says as she enters my room.
I just cry more.
She hugs me.
"Shh, it's okay, it's okay" my Mum says patting my back.
After what feels like hours I finally stop and I pull from the hug.
"You want to talk about it?"
I nod my head in response.
"Well..." my Mum says after few minutes of silence.
"He has a fiance" I say and a tear drops from my eye and I wipe it off.
"Who has a fiance?" My Mum says looking confused.
"Kevin.."
"He does? How?" My Mum says looking shocked.
"His parents wants him engaged to Ashley, and she is also his ex"
"And they are now engaged?"
"Does it matter? Anyway, I broke it off with him."
"So soon?"
"What do you expect me to do Mum? His parents already have a girl in mind for him.. I'm nothing compared to her"
"Don't say that Ava"
"Well it's the truth. I have nothing to offer him"
"Stop belittling yourself.. you have a lot of potential in you Ava. You are beautiful, in and out, never think you are not"
I sigh.
"Ava, running away from problems is not going to solve it. It's better you face them"
"But..." I wanted to argue.
"Listen dear.. No relationship is perfect, every relationship goes through it's own storm, married or not. And you have a better chance of winning it because you are a child of God. Ava, you both love each other, I know he does cos your phone's screen been flashing with his name since.
This your storm Ava, you have to take charge, both of you.. Show the devil who is the boss here."
"But if it doesn't work.."
"Is there anything too hard for God to do?"
I shake my head.
"There you have your answer.."
"Mum.." I hug her.
"You are the best" I say with tears in my eyes and a smile on my lips.
"I know"
We both laugh.
"Now call him before he goes crazy"
She hands me the phone.
She winks at me before she leaves the room.
I take a deep breath and dial his number.
He picks up on the first ring.
*************************************
Kevin's POV
It took me time to realize what happened as I watched Ava run off.
"Did she just break up with me?" I asked myself.
"No no no..." I brought my phone out and start calling her as I run out of school.
She later called back after an hour and I pick it up immediately.
"Kevin listen..."
I interrupt her.
"This is so unfair Ava, you can't just break up with me.. It's not like I didn't want to tell you about the engagement, I just never found the right time and I never agreed to it anyway, we can't break up not after everything we've been through, we are just starting Ava, we can't end it, I'm never going to end it.. you understand?"
She chuckles.
"I'm sorry Kevin.. I'm sorry for making an irrational decision.. I'm sorry... we will fight this together Kevin"
I am stunned.
"Hey where are you?" I ask her.
"I'm home"
"I'm coming over"
