BEN ‘S POV
????????????????
My phone continued ringing and I picked it up…. Hello who’s the bit-ch calling my line, how many times have i told you not to call my line huh! He yelled out at the caller….
I’m sorry Ben, I only called you because it is very important and I dim it fit that you should know…. Tessy replied in a calm and pleading voice…..
So what is so important that made you to call my lines after my several warnings.. He barked at her….
I’m pregnant Ben… She said solemnly….
I burst into laughter at what she just said….. I don’t want to be mad at her for her trying to pull tricks on me besides I have long expected that……. Wow! That’s an amazing news… So how many months heavy are you? I asked her mockingly…
Why are you like this Ben, I know I wronged you, and I’m sorry for that…. Telling you how many days or months pregnant that I am is no use. I didn’t say you’re responsible for the pregnancy, I called because I’m inviting you to my wedding next month….
I just want to know if your home so that I will bring my wedding invitation to you… She said boldly…..
Wow! Bravo! What a speech…. My love, the fact still remains that I won’t bear your grudge forever, I have forgiven you…. Good luck and congratulations to you..
But bear this in mind, I don’t want to see you anywhere around me again, and let this be the last time your calling my line…… Good bye…. I said and hanged the call…
I didn’t let the thought of Tessy to bother me at all as I concentrated my thoughts on the girl I met that day….
I think I should make that hotel my regular place of drinking until I succeeds and relay my message to her…..
**
**
Days pa-ssed into weeks and weeks into months and I still haven’t set my eyes on the girl again…. I even made her area my favorite strolling part but yet no sign of her…
What’s wrong , has she quit working in this hotel and at the same time packed out of this town….. Why do I always have bad luck when it comes to girls….. Hmmmm! I guess I have to call Emma to know what’s up about our arrangements…..
**
This dude is not picking his damn call…
I just have two months to spend in this country and all of a sudden this girl has gone into hiding… Maybe she’s a ghost and is time to start forgetting about her…
** five minutes later his phone rang and is Emma….
Hello…. Where are you? Comes Emma’s voice…
I’ve been calling you and you refused picking my calls..
I’m sorry man something came up.. Emma said….
What is it, replied Ben curiously….
I saw UC and I have been tracing her up to where she lives, it seems she also works in the same hotel that the rapped girl is working too
That news lightens his heart and his heart leaped for joy
That means they might know each other? Ben asked excitedly….
Yah, is possible….. Emma responded….
So what’s up, what do we do now, what’s the plan? In fact where are you lemme come there right now… Ben said smiling……
I’m on my way home, maybe you should come to the house… Emma responded…
OK, I will be there before you even gets home… Ben said hurriedly pulling a jersey from his wardrobe…..
Okey man, see you then….
Yah…. Bye…. Ben said and drop the call…
Yes! Yes! There’s hope and chances of seeing my girl again….. Wait! Did I just call her my girl?….. Your crazy Bernerd… He said and hit his head, collected his car key and mount down the steps..
**

Men can’t be predicted at all……. Can you just imagine that Ben was trying to forget about this same girl and now look how wild he is excitedly happy just know that there might be a link to get to her…
Let’s just hope he gets what he seek…………..

JOSY’S POV
????????????????
Is a Sunday and both Josy and UC are off duty… They went to morning mas-sas early as 5:30am and returned by 8am….They were both chit chatting as they both prepared their rice and stew together…. They planned on taking themselves on an outing later in the evening….
An hour later, food cooked, they dished it out and ate together thanking God also for bringing them into the month of December…. Done eating, they cleared the place and washed the dishes… They started playing ludo and were really enjoying each other’s company when UC recalled her dreams and started narrating it to Josy…

Ehe Josephine…. I just remembered the dreams I have been constantly having for the past weeks now, UC said throwing the dice on the ludo gla-ss……
What’s the dream all about, hope is a good one,….. Josy’s replied counting her 6’4…..
Yah it is ooo….. But it’s a kind of confusing…. UC replied, shifting the ludo as she lay on the floor and rest her head on the bed….
Wow! That’s a nice one, you know I’m always scared of your dreams because they always comes to pa-ss, in fact you’re gifted in that aspect….. So what’s the dreams all about? Josy asked as she equally lay down on the floor with her head on the bed……..
Well, I can’t actually recall all right now, because they are no longer fresh….. But crown of it all was that I always sees the both of us getting married at the same time and on the same day, the wedding was a royal and grand one, a lot of people came for the occasion and my son was just too happy as he never leaves the side of his father, he was the page boy though in my own wedding……
Wait a minute Josy interrupted….. Your son’s father was the one you were married to in the dream?
Yah he was but…… She still wants to say more and Josy cuts in…..
God is incredible, he is actually trying to pas-sa message to you ooo…… Josy said sitting up….
What do you mean by that asked the surprised UC….
Hmmm! You can’t believe that I had a similar dream last week also, you were doing a grand wedding with Emma your first love and your son was very happy that he has finally found his father….. In that dream I was engaged too but don’t know to whom and was your chief bride of honor too…… But the whole thing was that your husband Best man is my husband to be…. A lot of events took place in that dream that I can’t recall all….
Are you serious? UC asked…
Of course I am….. But do you still love Emma? Josy asked looking directly into UC’s eyes……
Hmmm! Please let’s continue our game, UC said trying to change the topic…
Don’t avoid the question ,UC is high time you tell yourself the truth…. If Emma returns and honestly asked for your forgiveness and to marry you will you accept him? Josy asked searching for an answer……
After few seconds of no answer from UC, Josy smiled…..
Of course you don’t have an answer for that but your eyes and the rate at which your heart is beating just now said it all…… You still loves him very much that’s the reason why you have been turning down the request of every other man, that’s just the simple bitter truth sis… Josy said and started rearranging the ludo seeds…
Just then, UC burst into tears that she has been holding and embraced Josy tightly…
He hurts me so much, he left and denied me when I most needed him in my life….. I hate him so much for taking my whole heart, I am caged to him and can’t possibly love any other man except him….. I hate you Emma, just release me and let me move on with my life, give me back my heart so that I will use it to love another man…. I hate him and inasmuch as I hate him I loves him more, I love him josy, I still love him so much Josy….. She cried as she coiled around Josy like a little baby……
Josy hug-ged her in return and wiped the few tears that has gathered around her own eyes…… Is okay UC, you love him I know that, but I think is high time you forgives him totally and move on with your life….. I don’t know if he will resurface but in case he does resurface genuinely and sincerely….. I know is ha-rd but just give him a second chance because your heart only belongs to him please…… Josy said as she patted her hair and robs her back…. And UC continues to cry hiccupping……
