Khayrat

Chapter three

2nd January Hadeja

A maid came into khayrat's room carrying a tray of foods and some fruits.... She placed it on the table and asked khayrat to eat but instead, she closed her eyes and  she fell back softly on her bed.... The maid stared at her for a while and shook her head in pity then excused herself out.....

Khayrat has been a very disciplined girl when growing up.... She was very careful about men..... Most of them came into her life, made no impact and left, she was careful not to sleep with any a promise she made to herself....  She lay on her bed still, her mind far far away.....  She was thinking of how she and Daiyabu first met.....

It was a cool Friday evening even as she lay still on the grass she could feel the freshness of the grassland and the smell of rain, she could feel the romance and the sensational sweetness of the leaves, her heart skip a beat, when she first saw him.....

She was grazing some sheep assigned to her by her father, when a car parked afar as he walked up to her..... At first she thoughts he was a stranger who lost his way, but when he smiled and greeted her she was carried away by his manly beauty, that she was stupefied for a moment, and the intense moment of silence nature have designed for lovers stood still between them.....

Neither of them spoke for a while and like a force induced gravity of love, they were locked in a romantic embrace and ecstasy, their lips found each and for a moment their was total contentment in their hearts.....

This has happened months back in the grazing field not far from her home.....

Daiyabu has told her he was coming from her father's palace, and he was told by her father he could find her here, he never knew she has grown to be this natural and extraordinary beautiful......

The words made great impact in her heart and almost immediately she knew this was her life partner, and when both discovered that the schooled in England, they were both captivated......

Daiyabu has never imagined a Fulani girl who schooled in England would graze sheep for leisure and she never imagined a Hausa London boy with his looks being a gentleman.....

Daiyabu and khayrat were once neighbours here in hadeja, but after the demised of his parents in a car accident.... He moved to London to stay with his uncle......
