THE LIFE OF STELLA

CHAPTER 3

My dad took me back into the car and drove off. They locked me into a room and stopped me from moving around. They also disconnected my every means of contacting and communicating with him even after I told them that I am in love with him.

It didn’t take time before I fell ill and the doctor diagnosed me with malnutrition because I refused to eat. The doctor also told my parents that my sickness wasn’t a sickness to treat with medicine; he said that it is an emotional sickness, and that they should not fail to change my location.

So my dad took me to my aunt’s house which was in mbaise to stay until I give birth thinking that it will solve my case. This time around I had a serious fever which almost took my life, so my dad called Damian to come to the house.  I was half asleep when I perceived the smell of his cologne, I thought that I was dreaming until I opened my eyes and saw him sited close to me. It felt as if I suddenly received whole lot of energy from the underworld, as I sat up immediately and hugged him. 

I was happy but my mouth was still cracked. He looked at me who had slimmed down from not eating.

He immediately sent for food and I had to munch off all the food that my mom left on the table without leaving even a little bite. He rushed out and bought me n energy giving drink which I also enjoyed. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that he fed me. Damian truly is a son of his father; he is romantic and knows how to treat a woman he loves.

My parents were watching from the door as he fed me. He begged my dad to let him squat somewhere so that he can watch me until I am fully recovered and my dad agreed, just because he didn’t want to take the blame of killing his brilliant daughter. That night he endured sleeping outside, just so that he can see me the next day. I love that guy a lot and can wait for him for as many years as possible.

Early morning the next day, it was 6:00 when I woke up. Unlike the other days,I woke up that morning full of energy waiting to see the love of my life. As usual I was the last to wake up in the house. I scanned the house in search of him, but unfortunately he was nowhere to be found. It was then that I heard the gate door click open; I saw his handsome face shone from a little opening in the gate.

“Damian, I said aloud as I ran fast to hold him. He had a little sack full of chocolate and some food for the whole family to consume. It was a glorious morning to have a meal that we never eat in the morning. Our breakfast for that morning was rice and vegetable sauce. I was weak but my weakness was little compared to the happiness that I felt while staring into the eyes of the handsome looking god in front of me.
