Val's Diary Series (Life As An Adult) - Season 1 - Episode 52

“i’m really so scared” Adaora muttered as i held her. I smiled reassuringly, kissing her ear softly.
“how about we go somewhere quiet, away from the city, the noise, the pollution, the distractions. Somewhere we can stay together, all alone, away from everyone. Just you and i in a quiet place. We eat, make love, play together. We can stay for a week or more” i suddenly suggested. She drew back and stared into my eyes with great excitement.

“that sounds cool but where can we find such a place?” she asked curiously.
“baby i promise, this is something that is going to be quite different and more spectacular than honeymoon” i tuned. She rolled her eyes and breathed deeply.
“so where exactly do you have in mind?” she asked breathlessly.

“my village of course” i pronounced calmly.
“nooo!” she exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands.
“of course you know there is no serene place like my home town. Our large family house will be the castle, the vast compound will be our paradise, the backyard with all the fruits and leaves will be our garden. The birds of the night will always be there to entertain us with noise and music. You will be my queen and my work will be to worship and adore you every minute” i poured out sweetly.

“you must be out of your mind Val. You must be crazy” she passionately laughed with disbelief.
“c’mon that place will be very scary. Just you and i in such a big house. C’mon have you forgotten how dirty the whole house will also be by now?” she asked with great spirit. I laughed and kissed her.
“of course and that’s how it’s going to be. Me and you, all alone, together as one. Remember my dad was also buried there. So we won’t be alone” i added while she playfully hit my chest.
“of course i know it’s going to be fun. You so much like village things” she hissed and backed me. I grabbed her from behind and playfully carried her up.

“we will set out tomorrow. A bus ride to Owerri. Then we head to my apartment, get my car and together we head to the village to enjoy the wonders of nature and beauty of love” i summarized and kissed her..

We ate and played like kids until her mum returned by 3:30pm. She really was overly delighted to see that we were finally at peace with each other. We equally told her our plans and she gave her consent. I left an hour later, headed to a nearby bank and made a huge cash withdrawal before heading to Obinna’s apartment with great excitement.

I gave my friend the good news and he congratulated me happily.
“i guess you are going to get her pregnant in the village?. Don’t mess things up this time” he suggested while i laughed..
Thirty minutes later, we headed out in search of a new beautiful befitting engagement ring for Adaora. We went to many shops until i found what i was looking for. Hmmm no need describing the ring but it was quite exquisite and cost me a fortune.

Later in the night as Obinna and I shared a bottle of wine. We discussed my future and he asked about my plans for Tessy.
“so what’s up with Tessy? Have you told her about the recent development?” he asked.

“No i haven’t and i think it’s best that way for the moment”. I answered. He shrugged and said nothing. But deep down i knew he was very worried over my relationship with such a rich unpredictable lady. Of course who wouldn’t be….
I couldn’t help but pray for the Lord’s help and mercy.
