Being the only son my father make sure I learn to take responsibility for my actions, my siblings and finally my mother.

In order to be sure I don't go astray on days like this "distraction" mother makes sure I do almost all the works in the house ringing it in my ear " A lot of people depend on you, a lot wants to see your downfall, so my dear son must stay focus!! " She could say over and over again. 

Done with my housechores I decided to confess my feeling by writing a letter to her… in my letter I made sure to include both address, where o was going and where I am currently .

Everytime I check my phone waiting for response but I got none I gave up after what seem like enternity mother left for her working place after making dinner.

I explore the whole place, feeling suffocated I went to the garden playing and soludlizing.

"Richard" I heard someone calling my name but I was the only one here who else could have ente the gudern without my permission, I thought about the security man and the driver but they never can walk in with this thought I decided to Ingore it thinking I was hearing sounds untill I heard it for the third time. 

Frustrated I turn around only to meet the gardener.

"What's is it?" I asked out of anger, he bows in respect.

"Someone is looking for you sir." He says quickly returning to his spot I guess I must have being harsh on him.

"Who could be here at this hour?" I thought since my bosom friend had travel to USA with his family but as the case maybe I decided to go check out for myself .

The moment I went in to check out who was there, there and there the story and jonurey of  my life changed, I became the person and the son my father ever dreamed and wanted me to be, envy of many young youth, you must be wondering what it's or who it's .

" Hey! " Comes the sound of the person least excepted in the whole wild world before I could utter a word she hugged me … just woah I thought flaggarbastered.

"Hey what's up with you?" I ask finally found my voice.

" Tell me what I need to know." She says …that moment I was lost of words .

"I don't know where to start from,but I'll start from these part and aspect, I'll not fight over you but I'm willing to fight for you till my last breath." I said looking at her.

"Each  time I look into your eyes what I see is the heart that loves and yearns for me… 

Each time I take a step towards you I feel I'm falling into the trap you have set for but yet am stupidly willing to falling into, letting myslef get fooled by you.

I wish you would always be here by my side till the end of the world to come.

My heart only longs for you and none else… my body seek your touch and my soul rejoice anytime you come close to me, just as much I try to avoid making eye contact with you outside.it seems you are the only visible person out there that my heart beats for your love so much that I am willing to step on the stones, rock and commit whatever atrocity as long as you can be mine." She reads my letter out staring at me.

" I meant to tell you that I love you" I said she said nothing but stare at me.

"I know your love for me is based on who I am … to promote your father's company " this was her reply, I was greatly offended by this.

" Does your love have to be this hard? " I asked her before taking a french leave six steps away from her, she pulled me back probably with all her strength, her next action drove me insane.

She kissed me !!! I reciporcrated after a while I pulled away.

" That isn't an apology" I replied trying to surpress my emotion.

"Prove your love to me! "She answer with this I kissed her.

That marked the beginning of our love life, with lot of complication, Emily could often set me up with her twins sometime being the heiress to her mother's properties she could often offer huge amount to see my reaction, same goes to her father, along the line I found out the guys were her step brothers.

Thus we ourselves do not know the end of our relationship… my sister often argur that we might not have an happy ending …  but my father always tell me that " Never except much from a woman, give more than you receive son!!" This words never left my mind so i try my best to be honest… you know as a man I often have to tend to my needs and do shit, as long as it doesn't affect their business, their father began to trust me as time passes by and gradually I earned her mother's respect and that of relative.

Here we are today thou with few misunderstanding and four lovely kids doing well in their field of career and profession.

To everyone outthere;

 Marriage isn't a bed of rose!.

Your partner is bond to change most time due to circumstance 

Treat yourself with respect, don't go running after love when it's due time it will come.
