Lyod's POV
I went back to my office as I dialed the pastor's number to inform him of what has happened.
I called many times and he wasn't picking.
After a lot of trials he finally picked,
Lyod:: Hello pastor, good evening.
Pastor Don:: Good evening doctor Lyod, may the lord be with you.
Amen pastor, I replied.
Pastor::sorry I missed your calls, I was having a p
The pastor was back with the fruits, while Laura was eating he asked that lyod should talk with him in his office.They left and only I and Laura were left in the room as I peeled some oranges for her.So tell me Laura, why were you refusing to tell your father the name of the lady behind this?Laura::You know the reason(s) already, John .John :: No I don't,what about you start telling me the reasons right now.Laura:: I am scared of what dad might do to that girl John.John:: should that really b
The next day I could not rest. My head was just about Laura, I think I should see Laura immediately.I immediately dialled Laura's number so I could tell her that I would be coming over to her place but she tried stopping me.I dialed her number and gave her a call.Hello laura, good day,Laura:: Good day john.How are you doing today?Laura:: very much better although my body still hurts a bit. I guess I will be fine soon.Please can I ask you for&
LAURA'S POVI left John just at the door and returned to meet dad upstairs. I can't believe dad hates John this much. Yes John had a bad lifestyle before but does it give dad any right to be this harsh to a fellow human? I don't think so. The thoughts continued to run through my mind.I climbed the stairs as fast as I could and met dad sitting on the couch in the living room upstairs reading the bible as usual.Hello dad, here I am.Pastor:: how are you feeling now, I can see you're much stronger now.
John's POVHours later Lyod was back home.Hello bigbro, welcome. what happened, you never came back early as you promised.Lyod:: Thank you john but You know my type of job na, when human lives are involve, you must attend to them,Sure bro your right, please let me help you with your briefcase.I took it as we climbed upstairs.Lyod:: So how is Laura doing today?She is doing fine bro, I actually
Loyd's POVIt was Sunday morning and I woke up to prepare for church as usual. Any Sunday that I don't go to work, I don't miss church. As I was preparing I heard a knock on the door.Who is that?It's me bro.Oh journey is here? What does he want this early Sunday morning?Come in john.John:: Good morning bro.Yes good morning John, how was your night?
It was another school day,My friends Greg, Clark and Fred are seen chatting in one of the classes.Greg:::It's been days guys. We haven't heard from our guy, so we are heading to his class right? I know he will be with his girl Laura, we all hate her but we should behave ourselves at least for John's sake.Clark:: you have a point bro, that's just what we gonna do now, walk to him and apologize.Fred:: So what are we still waiting for, let's go guys.We walked to John's department. He wasn't in class but we saw Laura seated there. We had to g
Oh my God, are you guys really in this school? Haven't you read the papers??Clark ::you should know better na guy, you know we don't readnewspapers.John:::You see? That's why I said you guys should change, this lifestyle won't help you in any way.Greg:: Bro forget that, we are more interested in knowing what happened to laura.Fred::Yes guys, please tell us, what really happened to her??Guys you know queen right?
Laura. POVOn our way from the station, dad asked if he should drop me to school but I told him my day has been spoiled already, so I just need to go home and rest.He insisted that what happened shouldn't make me miss classes. I told him there is no way I am going to be okay in class given what just happened now. He knew I was not okay with his decision earlier about me not being friends or allowed to be seen with him anywhere. He knows how much this will break me but I think dad is being over protective. How can he just ban us from being friends just like that.
The next day the wake was being transferred to Laura's place.People kept tripping in even more than I expected.Pastor was up to the task. He knew about it already and was well prepared, he bought all the necessary food and drinks for the mourners. We both moved around to try and greet the people we could and he made a short speech to welcome them.Immediately he was done with the speech he told me we have to discuss in private.Pastor::Hey John, are you busy or something?John::Not really Sir.
John's POVMy friends and every other person was having his/her food and drinks at this time. I stood up to thank them all for coming to mourn my wife with me.I stood up as I appreciated them.John;;Thank you all so much, I think Laura would be happy wherever she is now knowing the amount of people who truly cared about her. Thank you all.And again, Tomorrow we will be transferring to her house. That is where the proper mourning will be done till she is buried. I will discuss with her father tomorrow to fix a proper date for that
It was the next day,It still felt like a dream. I refused to believe my angel is gone for good. The wife I just wedded yesterday is gone.Will I survive without this girl? Why is life being so unfair to me ? Or is it just a way of 0un68shing me for my bad deeds?All sorts of things were running through my mind that morning.Greg's POV.This is so unbelievable, Is this life?When we thought our friend had found someone he actually loves and wanted to settle down with. He losses her almost i
Only I and laura were now left in the room.I asked why she asked lyod and her father to excuse us?Laura::You may not like what you're going to hear now, love, but I have to tell you.John::You are scaring me already my angel,I said as I shifted closer to her and held her both hands.What is it that you want to tell me baby?Laura::Nothing, I just wanted to pull your legs.John::Are you serious right now? You mean you ask dad to step out just to pull my legs? Please be serious about love, what is it that
It was all happening like a dream, how I wish it was but that was reality. I was wed to the love of my life in a hospital on her sick bed.Something I wanted to do in a grand style and show to the world how much I do love Laura.This wasn't really making sense to me as I couldn't imagine that it was really happening in real life.The pastor told us that it was time to exchange our rings.I took mine from him and held laura's left arm up as the pastor commanded me to place the ring in her finger as he mention"In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy,
Lyod left for the hospital.I decided to make a plan with glory and told her we're gonna celebrate this the next day whether lyod likes it or not.Glory::that would be nice, but it would be complete if Laura could come with us. But I think she is still too weak right? How is she now?John::Talking of Laura, I am just coming back from her place. When I got there sheWas really weak, but before I left she was much stronger. So don't worry, Laura will come with us.Glory::This is good, okay let me go prepare something for you guys.John ::What? You mean
Laura::I know you must be thinking that I am out of my senses right now my love, have never planned to do this before marriage but I am convinced within me, I need this now.John::But this is your father's house Laura, this is not right.Laura::John, let's do this, it might be our only chance.John::You are beginning to scare me, love, Is there anything you're not telling me?Laura::Alright, there is something, am only gonna tell you when we are done having s*x, you know have never done this before, I promised myself to do it only with my husband and with someone I truly love, you are that man John and am ready for it now.
John's POVAfter I finished discussing our marriage plans that night, I went to bed and slept.It was the next day, I was all dressed up to go meet the love of my life. I was thinking about her all night and could not wait for the day to break so I could go and meet her.My bro lyod left for work already, I was about living when Glory reminded me that have not taken my breakfast.Glory::Hey John good morning,
After some few days Laura was discharged from the hospital.She should be closely monitored.I was so worried after hearing about what Laura has been going through. I realized I wasn't even doing enough and I had to be there for Laura all the time. She needs me more now that I know the truth.One evening I was discussing with lyod on our plans on getting married the same day.Lyod:: Laura was so surprised when you gave her the ring. She wasn't expecting that.John ::Sure bro, I saw it in her eyes too, she loved it and I was happy she did
