Very soon, am still on it. Thanks for following.

Wow! Thats the end of chapter one. To be continued soon. Thanks for reading and please drop your comments and suggestions.

All of a sudden i didn't even care about how shabby or untidy she used to look, I just wanna spend the rest of life with her. I never knew this was how love is, how it could make enemies to be best of friends. That's how powerful love is! I thought. I entered into the lecture room with my eyes and my heart searching for her and finally I saw her sitting at he back seat alone, it wasn't a suprise to me though. I walked up to her ignoring my friends about what they could say or think about me, this was love in action the funny inner voice said to me. I asked if i could keep her company and she obliged but i could read from her eyes that she was worried about what a boy like me could ever want with her? Yea!, a boy like me, one of the most influential guys in my department stooping so low to a girl of her calibre but it wouldn't matter to me anymore.

With time we grew from friends to close friends and finally lovers. I won't be sincere to you if i say there were no challenges, i started losing my friends because they couldn't hang out with me and my girlfriend at the same time. The insult i got from them was also a tip of the iceberg but all of that doesn't move me a bit. She was all that matters to me.

Then in our final year she fainted one day, she was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed of lung cancer. It was too late because the cancer has eaten most of her intestines and it was at the late stage. She later died a month later, it was as if the ground should open and swallow me, i just couldn't believe it. I started asking God different questions from why? To how could you? When it seems things have started working right for me, when it seems have found my missing rib death came and robbed me. I ended up blaming the devil instead but that wouldn't bring my love back, my all in all, my jewel, my hapiness.....I only wished i had come to know her earlier before we started being friends.........now five years later but her memory stil new as if it were yesterday.

On my way home she was my thought even in my dream she played the lead role. I tried to eliminate the evil thought i thought i was having but little did i know i was just starting. I drank a little bit of alcohol thinking all would go back to normal when i eventually come back to my senses but I was only decieving myself. She was all that matters to me from that day onward, then this anxiety of seeing her again kept on crepting in my heart, I couldn't wait to see her again. Flashes of all the wonderful love movies and books i have read started coming into my thinking. Starting from romeo and juliet, titanic, shrek and princess fiona and so on, but i dont wanna be the knight in shinning armour who always die at the end of the movie. I wanna be with her forever till death do us part.

She was the girl every other guy wouldn't think of hanging out with, she was shabby, unkept and unsocialize. I was coming from the chemistry lab when someone bumped into me, I looked up to see who it was and behold it was her! Without her waiting for me to say anything she said sorry. I couldn't do or say anything but to stare at her face, the anger i felt when she bumped into me turned to peace of mind just like a hot iron dipped into a cold water by a blacksmith. I never realised she was this beautiful, the word 'untamed beauty' will perfectly describe her. She walked past me after saying sorry but i couldn't help but to think about her.

This is going to be the first time i will be writing a story here on nairaland. Its a stort story. I hope you sir's and ma's enjoy it. I am open to critisism and support. Thanks.
