Episode 21.

“I have heard your prayers long ago.” the white hair man told Ayo seating beside her on a long bench.

“Do you like him?” He asked her tingling her cheek.

” I don’t understand father.”

“Haven’t you been asking me to give you a good husband?”

“You’re right father. I need a good husband father and I have been asking you.”

“I have answered you. I reserved the best for you. Don’t you say the bottom pot is the best? He chuckled.

“But father I have not met him yet” she said laughing.

” You have my child. It’s just that you didn’t recognized the one I reserved for you.”

“O father, I won’t let you go until you show me the one you reserved for me.”

Ayo started tingling the man’s nose and ears. She went behind the man and hugged him. She whispered something to his ears and he started laughing hilariously.

“Alright I will tell you. Emmanuel is the best for you. You’re to help him stand.”

“Emmanuel?” She asked.

“Yes! He’s my son and I love him so much. I have chosen him for you my daughter. I have called him to work for me and you must support him”

“Alright sir!”

“Tell me you don’t like my best.” He said looking deeply at Ayo.

“I do my father and I thank you.”

“Both of you must serve me diligently. You must not be distracted. Don’t be tired of coming to me. I am ready to fill you always. Alot of my children are tired and weary yet they’re not coming for refilling. They’re drained. They have forgotten that without me they can do nothing”

Ayo turned when she heard someone called her name.

” That’s my son calling you. Please go to him because that son of mine is impatient.”

Ayo laughed out loud as she stood up to meet Emmanuel who was moving towards her.

It was a dream! She opened her eyes and rushed to her mother to tell her the dream.

“God is not a liar. Let’s wait and see how God will make it happen.” she told her.

Emmanuel could no longer hide what he feels for Ayo. He was in love with her but he was afraid whether she will reciprocate. So, he approached bro Kola and told him of his intention to marry Ayo.

“Have you told her?” Bro Kola asked the confused Emmanuel.

“No sir!”

“What are you waiting for. Since you’re convinced my daughter is the woman for you, then tell her how you feel my son.”

“I really do not know whether she likes me sir.”

Bro Kola laughed. He love Emmanuel like he loves his daughter. He admired him secretly and had wished him for his daughter. He had since know the guy was in love with his daughter. The way he always look at Ayo gave him away. Bro Kola also noticed that Ayo never says a thing without mentioning Emma’s name.
____________________

Emmanuel drove Ayo to one of the best Hotel. Earlier at work, he had told Ayo he had something important to discuss with her, something that had been a burden. Ayo on the other hand was worried. She had never seen Emmanuel so tensed. He had been a part of her family. Her parents loved him and whatever bothers him have to be shared with her.

“Have your seat Angel” he told her.

” This place is beautiful.” She said glancing round.

They ordered for food and drinks and ate quietly.
“Do you like me?

The question startled Ayo who stared at him and laughed.

” I said do you like me? He asked again smiling.

“Of course I do, that is why I followed you here to discuss what gives you headache.”

“Alright!”

Emmanuel didn’t know how to express his feelings. He talked here and there. He just kept talking.

“Do you love me? I …I… Mean do you think I will make a good husband?”

The question made her laughed the more.

“Is that why you have been so tense sir? Ooh! I can see that you are in love but doesn’t know how to express it. Relax sir! You will make a great husband. Can you at least tell me who the lucky lady is? She must really be lucky.”

“Really? He asked excitedly.

” I mean it!
” I have been worried. I thought I will be an awkward husband.”

“Apart from the fact that you are successful, you’re calm, gentle, God fearing and down to earth. Relax sir! I know the lucky lady will say a bigger yes.”

He looked at Ayo intensely. He was having an internal battle going on inside of him. He developed a cold feet proposing to her.

“Thank you Ayo. You have built my confidence. As for the lucky lady, you will meet her when the time comes.”

“Alright sir. I am glad I have been of help to you.”

They finished their food in a deep silence with different thoughts rummaging their heads.
____________________
It was very late but Emmanuel wasn’t asleep. Infact, he couldn’t close his eyes after he returned from hotel. He just couldn’t understand why his mouth refused to say what was in his heart. His mouth refused to obey his heart. He was madly in love with Ayo yet he had no courage to tell her. He used to be afraid that she will ignore him but having heard what she said at the hotel, he knew she would have said yes if he had proposed. Now he felt foolish for allowing the opportunity to slip away. Now he can’t close his eyes. Sleep had eluded him. He couldnt close his eyes without seeing Ayo’s face smiling down on him.
To Be Continued… . . .
