Window Love

37.

Adnan | Farida

   For about the past 20 minutes since they hop in the car, there was absolute silence. aside from the car radio playing some old school song.

"Hope you like it?" he asked, trying to end the silence.

"What?"

"The song. hope you like it?"

"Oh, yeah i do."

"Seriously.. I can't explain how excited i am today. you know, this moment is all I've ever wished for. just you and i and our love forever"

"Awww.. lines, lines. where did you get that? Indian movies?"

"Hahaha. no..! what you mean Indian movies. I've always wanted to spend time with you."

"Um.. lover boy huh, tell me more boo boo..'

"Like, you see that oldie over there? he's feeling this couples right here."

pointing to an old man trying to cross the road, standing few steps away from the traffic light.

"Hmm.. korean love huh?"

They both chuckled

"I don't know why you always got something to say about me."

"Haha. if i don't who will?"

"So. your highness, we're here."

"Alright.." she said goofily.

"Wow, this place looks lit. babe where's this?"

"Read. it's the sailors lounge, you'll like the view inside, it's so mind blowing. come on in."

They grabbed a table close to the sea view, and ordered for some soft drink, sandwich and fish pepper soup.

"Pearl, you have to excuse me. i need to use the restroom."

"Mmm."

How be it, instead of going to the restroom, adnan ambled towards the waiter who had just served them, sam, he spoke stilly to the waiter, giving him some instructions while passing his car keys to him, and making sure farida doesn't see him. the waiter gave him a fair beam. as he returned to their table, he caught farida picking from his fish pepper soup. she was stealing from his plate. he chuckled, it made her notice his presence, as she looked up with a guilty smile.

"Ahww.. aye, hi.. you're back."

"Ahhh,  i was just ahhm.. making sure your food was okay?"

farida she said with a giddy smile on her face, knowing he must have seen everything.

"Yeah?"

'Uh, yeah?!"

He grined again

"Ight, so you better stop feeling guilty, you can eat all that's on the table and still order more it's cool."

"What?!" she asked in amazement

"I wanna cry"

"In here? don't even start."

"Baby I'm not a glutton!"

They looked at each other and giggled

"You know, ten years from now I bet you will still look this good. ..my God, pearl, you so beautiful."

"Adnan can you cut the hype please? I'm okay though."

"I can't chill off. it's just the truth, i don't even know what tribe are you."

"Just say you want to know what part of Nigeria i am from."

He chortled   "Oh yes, tell me."

"You know I've been wondering, but really i don't know why i never asked."

"Cause my charm -(

"Chairman here's the stuff." sam cuts in, passing a small blue leather bag to adnan and his car keys

Farida looked at them dull and gave a serene smile. you could clearly tell she doesn't understand what was happening and wanted some explanations from how she looked. adnan collected the package and smiled at sam.

"I'll see you outside bro."

he said to sam. as he knelt in front of farida, bringing out a ring from the box in the blue bag.
"I know we've been dating for quite a while now, but i didn't woo you properly. You know.. i mean, i didnt have the chance to do it and now I want to do this officially.

"Get upp! adnan! whatever you want to say, you can always say it while sitting." farida muttered to him under her breath

"Just say yes, and i will."  He muttered back

"Babe, every man's pride is to have a beautiful lady that understand's him that's got disciplines, a lady with dignity. a lady who will love you for whom you are and wholeheartedly and i know, among the few that i have listed you lack none. farida you rock my world, you're my everything. allow me to wash your feet with the love I have for you." this time his voice was even louder than it was when he first spoke

she covered her face in shame, she only see such thing in the movies and can't believe its happening to her right now. she felt like melting into her shoes, her head began to bang, she could hear her heart beating so fast. she looked everywhere and felt mortified.

"Get the hell up adnan, please don't embarrass me." she muttered again

What was happening immediately caught the attention of other customers on the deck, from how adnan raised his voice and that made them turn to hear her response
