SOMEWHERE IN AFRICA

Epilogue

"Are we there yet?".

"Be patient baby girl ".

"Well I have been wearing this blindfold right from my wedding reception and it a little uncomfortable so pardon me if my patience is at it breaking point ".

"Well in the next five minutes you will see the surprise ".

I never for one day in my life imagined I will be this happy maybe God mist have taken pity on me ...one very helpless child ...

"Get ready to see your surprise "

I could not help asking "why is this jet bearing my name?".

"For obvious reason "

"Reason like what? "

"It yours Lauretta "

"Really !!!!!! Ekim this is so beautiful and expensive!!! I mean it cost you a lot right?"

"Don't doubt the digit of my account "

"Ekim ....."

"So tell me, where you you like to go for our honeymoon ?"

"Vermont" I answered without think twice .

"Vermont it's then"

While on our honeymoon, the news came that Nora was expecting. Eight months later, she gave birth to another beautiful baby girl for my dad, he was so excited as he spoke to me over the phone.

Nora called and said I have got a baby sister who can't wait to meet me, all I could do was to laugh, I was so happy.

I was later based in American with Ekim, where I finally set up my fashion school, my dream came true. Emily was with me all through, she was very helpful during my pregnancy period.

I can never forget the expression on Ekim face when I told him I am pregnant .

He was in his office attending to business non stop but as the impatient wife that I bounced into his office and announced the new .

"Ekim we are having a baby "

"OK "

Well the new didn't register on time because the very next second he was kissing me right in front of his computer with his business associated witnessing our happiness

My Prince charming came exactly eight month and one day later.

"He is just like you Ekim ".

"I think he looks more like you".

"Well daddy your baby need a name "

"Micho Ekim Roland that is his name"

While I nursed my baby, Emily was foreseeing things in the fashion school on my behalf, she was very loyal and was gradually becoming a fashion icon.

Miranda and Josiah do visit us, they were already engaged and was about getting married in his father's church.
I speak with everyone back home.

Emily is turning out beautiful, she love making statement with her designs just like I thought her.

Business is growing, Ekim is doing well for himself over here and My Prince charming, Mich jr is growing so fast.

My life sound like a fairy tale right now , I know I believe in God but I can't deny the very simple fact that Ekim is my safe heaven right from the very first day I met him .

I have come to understand that it's so true that a simple act of kindness can create an endless ripple.
