" Why did you say that Richard?"

" Cause the last time I visited I noticed some weird move from some of my trusted staff, but later got busy and couldn't go back there".

" Hmm that was it right there" I said to my myself and moved back to my seat to get the complete details of what he was trying to say, " weird move? why would you say so Richard?"

" Because these are people I have worked with and I can easily say when things are not the same way they use to be".

I felt is the right time to talk to him about it since he already brought it up, " About that Richard I also have something to tell you concerning that"

" About my company?"

" Yes, but first I want to know the weird movement you said you noticed"

" To be honest with you Gabriella, I can't say this what the problem is, but I definitely know something was going wrong from my last visit".

But you just got back from the hospital, why are you in so much hurry?"" Nothing, I just don't want her thinking it was all a joke".Thinking it was all a joke for someone who just got back from the hospital? I felt Richard was getting it all wrong and needed to stay with her the more so he could understand her her kind of person, " What if I tell you the only thing that woman does at the moment is pray for you?".He was shocked, I could tell from the look on his face, I bet he thought the warmth welcome he received was cause of the of the house he got for them, " Yes Richard, herself and her kids pray fervently for you to recover and come back home to us"" I'm happy to hear this, but I still feel is best I go show her the

    Suddenly I felt life coming back to me, cause few minutes ago Richard scared the hell out of me and I was scared thinking I did something bad, he then continued, " I promise to love you against all odds Gabriella and I will remain here in good and in the worst days".The joy all over my heart didn't hesitate to extend to every part of my body that he noticed it all in my body movements, then he continued, " I will make sure this smile on your face last forever Gabriella, and not make you cry till death do us part".Richard is no doubt the most beautiful thing that can happen to anyone's life, I felt the universe is just using him to wipe my tears after many years of pains, I never in my life imagined that a day like that would come in my life, I held his hand back and said to him." You are the gift I never deserved but God packaged you and handed you over to me, Just like my mum would always say to my dad, you will my lord and I will devote my entire life worshiping you Richard

    " It's okay Richard, if that's what you want then it's very okay by me provided your not gonna hurt your self on the process"" I will be careful Gabriella, trust me"" No problem whatever you want, but please is it possible you get some rest today? as the doctor will be coming later in the evening"" On it, I just came to talk to you about this"He said and stood up and then left afterwards, but I felt he wasn't so strong for all the drama at that moment but since he insisted, I decided not to be the reason for anything that would come up in the future.I laid back on the bed and the beautiful moment I had seen in my dream kept flashing back to me, I knew I had to fight that real fast cause if it continues that way I might completely loose my mind, I quickly got up went to the bathroom but it kept flashing on my face.I went into the bathtub, buried myself in it and after some time It started reducing bit by bit till I could not think about it anymore, I took a lot of time scrubbin
