WristbanD
CHAPTER 3
“I was disappointed in what you did yesterday but
nevertheless I will forgive you because I can’t trade your love for that” Jude
said standing up to hold her shoulder
“Thanks Love” Jane felt relieved in her heart because she
never expected Jude to be that easy on her
“Let’s meet at our usual joint in the evening, come with all
games and naughtiness. I can’t wait to have you in my arms” Jude said and
kissed her forehead
Jane’s happiness knew no bound because what just happened
cleared her heart’s worries and she wished the hands of clock could be uttered.
She was not concentrating in the class anymore, all in her mind was to be in
Jude’s arms.
*************
Months later……………………..
“What is the significance of this wristband in your
daughter’s hand?” Popoola asked his wife
“OH! She will never want anyone to touch or remove it from
her hand. I don’t know who could have given her that she took it this special.
Anyways I will know how to find out from her” Juli replied his husband
“Okay. Dress her up and let’s go to the farm to harvest
those corns before they start spoiling” Popoola hurried his wife
“Sewa!!!!!! Come here” Juli called out for her daughter to
dress her up
*************
“Jude, its few months to the Senior Waec and I am feeling
somehow” Jane said resting her head on the chest of the sitting Jude
“And what is bothering you?” Jude asked looking into her
eyes
Jane adjusted herself to face him “My father said
immediately after my last paper, I am travelling to Abuja to start a new life
with his brother who works in an oil company” Jane said with heavy heart
“Hmmmmmm!” Jude sighed “Is this the end of the road for our
love?” Jude asked with a broken heart
There was some minutes of silence between both lovers
“You know what, I don’t want us to think about what will
happen then. Let’s focus on what is happening now, when we get to the bridge we
will know how to cross it” Jude broke the silence with cool words winking to
his lover
Jane smiled and they both continued using the time for other
sweet discussions
*************
Later that night,
Jude was on his bed thinking about what Jane told her few hours earlier
“Hmmmmm!!!! I am speechless on this but is this how Jane
will break my heart without taking care of it till I forget the wound” Jude
asked himself
As he was thinking, something dropped into his heart
“Hmmmm!!!!! Yeah, since we are both matured for it. I think
we can do it to have a kind of bond between us even though we separate we will
have this as a significant experience we had together” Jude soliloquized
“But I know no matter how we try, destiny will prevail over
our Love” Jude finalized before picking up his android to play games as he does
at night before sleeping
Jane on the other hand didn’t even worry about what will
happen then. She followed Jude’s words that when they get to the bridge, they
will cross it.
************
Two weeks later……….
There will be a holiday and both lovers decided to spend the
day in Jude’s house. Salewa didn’t object that because she had always wanted
her son to be happy.
“If that is what will make you happy that day, you are free
my son” Salewa replied her son when Jude tendered his request
“Yes Mum! I love you” Jude shouted as he hugged his mum.
Salewa will do anything to see smiles on her son’s face every moment.
At School that day, Jude tendered the reply his mother gave
him to Jane ……………….
