Story Of A Survivor

Episode 30

Please Adanne! Captain went on his knees:
Stop fighting alone Ada! I want to fight with
you! I am a Soldier! I will die for you Adanne! I
love you from the first day I set my eyes on
you, that day you were brought into the
Hospital battered and looking so ugly, I love
the aura you emit today! You radiate like the
sun and you lit up our lives tonight, your
charms and your beauty has weaken my
military pride that I cannot help but kneel in
the presence of everyone here asking you to
let me be your love, let me into your lives and
I promise you that no more Lawals can come
near you! They will have have to pass through
me if they try and I assure you Ada, I will be
the Brick wall behind you.
I have never heard such words directed at me
in all my life! I was reeling in a heavenly realm
when the sounds of clapping and Cat cries
brought me back to reality. I felt raw joy. I
have known Ayo for as long as I was in the
hospital and I had grown to like him, he never
flirted around me till this night and he threw it
at me like a Bomb. I looked back at my Friend
Cordellia, I looked at Mr. and Mrs. Chinedu,
they all gave me “thumbs up” and approval
nods. I was happy. It was indeed my birthday.
I pulled Ayo up, I drew him closer, I looked up
at his six feet, athletic body and I felt like I
was behind a brick wall for real, he looked
down on me and our eyes locked, he smiled,
shivers went through my spine and came out
through my mouth with a smile as he planted
his mouth on mine. I melted: The first kiss in
my twenty years of existence
