Before the meeting time, Mfon would hastily finish her domestic chores in order to meet up with the appointed time. Last time, she almost removed her toe nail as she unknowingly kicked hard on a stone"aaarghh hmmm" was the bitter sound she could make to show how much pain she felt on that part of her toe... Never! That won't stop her from the regular meeting not even an injury on both eyes could stop her!
She walked as fast as her leg could carry her...she kept muttering beneath her breath till she got to the primary school field.
Warm hugs were exchanged..." How was your day my love?" Ubong asked, " fine dear" she replied seating on a cubed shaped stone while Ubong sat on the bare ground. "Tonight I feel so bad,I don't know why I feel this way" Mfon complained...She shot a worried look at the sky , the cold breeze blew and she began to feel cold," I forgot my jacket " she whispered," I could give my shirt...you know I don't feel cold", he pulled off his shirt and wore it on her cold body that was already filled with goose bumps." "You need a warm hug dear"Ubong suggested as he wrapped his arms round her slim but so energetic body. She was tall and well built..not the lanky kind of girl but the slim , curvy and filled with strength .
Once , she asked Ubong that unique thing he liked about her" your height dear because I know you can never be short "
As the only child of the family she had no younger ones to cater for except for her old parents who had waited so long in their marriage to have a child, the chief priest had told them to have a strong bond for each other,that the child they would have was a " lover of love" ,since then the bond between the two grew stronger, few years later Nkoyo conceived and it was just as the chief priest had prophesied! Several attempts had been made to stop her from seeing Ubong but all to no avail.. "You can't stop her from loving him, their spirits are bonded together, more over they were twins in their former world...ahaaaa" the chief priest said. " if you separate them she will die" he concluded.
Ever since, the parents had given them their blessings and a chance to love each other!
Could this bond be broken despite the prophecy? That was always the fear of the villagers, no one wants to loose a pretty damsel as "Imamfon"!
" Baby its getting darker" Mfon reminded her love.. "Yes I know but I wish we could stay longer heartbeat..you make my night look like day" He said. He drew her closer than he could imagine to himself and gave her the warmest hug ever..."Baby please can I"..... He didn't complete his request by words but by kissing her deeply till she was lost in her world, she was warm and her heart leaped for joy...he traced his lips down to her neck and began to spell his name with his tongue on her neck"uuhhhh" she moaned excitingly!.. "I have to go dear.. Please! She said firmly .
" Stay with me forever" He begged!
