"Kemi I what else do I need to do to get you" Prince pleads looking down deep into my eyes searching desperately for an answer 
"Pay my bride price" I say jokingly , by the look on his face he's not into my joke very much
"Prince, I've told you it's not going to work. We're not going to work"

"But I love you Kem, you know that" he pleads in response. I have to admit it's nice seeing him so desperate for me

"It's not true love without God at the centre" I snap back, Prince knows this but he's so stubborn

"So help me, help me fall in love with God" A smile forms on my face. I love this man so much.

Zaïdan by vallaryz

"How can your God love me?" I asked in pure distress. "How can He love me after everything I've done? Doesn't He know where I come from or who I am? What I am?" "He does but that doesn't stop Him from loving you all the same." "How is that possible?" I wiped my eyes. "God is love; He loves you because it's in His nature to do so." He said and I could barely comprehend what he meant. "Give Him a chance to show His love to you." "I don't understand and I don't think I want to." I shook my head in denial. "I will see you later." I took the easy road and chose to run away, living in a world where I could be free and live happily was a dream I had given up on long ago. Especially now. "God loves you and believe it or not I do too. I love you Zaya, so much that I want you to be my wife." He said and I stopped on my tracks, then I turned to look at him intently. Marriage? Could I ever have that? "What?" I asked him. "Marry me," he looked into my eyes and I panicked. He meant it for some reason and that alone was enough to make me run away like the coward I was. * * * * * * * * Life was easy and perfect for Zaidan Nawan, she had everything.
