As the months went by, Abel and I became closer, especially after we released his second album where he featured me. even though I was starting to have feeling which am not supposed to catch, but I really tried to suppress it—o! God knows I try.

The song sold like wild fire. We started getting invitations from one church to another, we started going for music concerts also.

I was also happy, because I was making money from this. Since I graduated and finished my youth service there was no job coming  forth.
All the companies where I had submitted my CV none has called me back and so going on this musical tour with Isaiah was actually a blessing for me.

Our travelling from one church to the other from one town to the other made us closer. We became close that my feelings started creeping in again. Whenever those feelings came I was quick to knock them off because in as much as I was quick to push Marvis's words away I never forgot them.

One evening after our ministration in one of the big churches at Abuja, we went back to our hotel and as we ate and drank at the bar. Abel suddenly stopped and held my hand on the table

"Daniella, you've been a blessing to my life, since you joined my music I have experienced the kind of growth that I have never imagined. Who would have thought that I will minister in front of great men and women around Nigeria?" He said with smiles and that glint again

"Abel,  it's not me but God at work. All glory to his name. And thank you for believing in me. Everyone always laughed whenever I sing because they said I have a man's voice but you didnt laugh, you saw something I didnt see and you worked with it and here we are." I started laughing, but I looked at Israel and he wasn't smiling again but looked rather serious

"Ella, you've been my Blessing, God has used you to change my life and story, I do not want it to end, I do not want the blessing to seize."

"How do you mean? God's blessing does not seize." I asked confused, even though my heart has started thumping

"I know, but the truth is one day you will get married and then you won't be able to travel with me as you are now. You are only able to do it because you are still single. No man will allow his wife travel with another man all the time in the name of singing or business.

"That's true... I was getting rather lost ...But you have nothing to fear. Because God will give me a man who will understand that I want to use my voice to glorify Him.

"That's possible but what if he doesn't understand?"

(laughing), "why is that even an issue right now. When we get to that bridge we will cross it. For now let's focus on our music tomorrow and leave the future till it comes. I pock up my spoon again

Abel looked even more serious now "Ella, I do not want to wait till then, I do not want to have to face such trials. (he goes on his knees while k stare at him with wide eyes) ...Ella please be mine. Marry me so that I won't have to worry about anything, so that you will be with me forever. Please Ella, will you marry me??

I was shocked and surprised at the same time, I looked at Abel as if I didnt know who he was. Although I had strong feelings for him but I was not ready to just jump into his arms. Suddenly I felt anger build up in me. I quickly snatched my hand away from him.

"I see, you are asking me to marry you because of your selfish interest. So its true, all they said about you is true."

"What are you talking about? He looked at me with confusion
