The days that followed were peaceful and blissful. Emil would go to work early in the morning and come back 6 o'clock in the evening.
Daniel on the other hand was making preparations for his concert slash Yvonne's birthday celebration.
Since he didn't have much doing, Emil entrusted him with everything related to the birthday celebration.
Yvonne was always home doing some readings, learning how to cook all kinds of dishes from Auntie Phillis and making preparations towards her departure. She was the less busy one.
Among them, Lina was the most occupied. Ever since Daniel asked her to design clothes for his upcoming event, she has never had a day of rest. It hasn't been easy for her since this is her first time to design clothes for a star and not just any star, but a very unique person.
She chose not to consult her boss or anyone for help. Since Daniel gave this opportunity to her, then she would grab it and not disappoint him !
Emil signed the last document on his desk and stood up, he grabbed his suit coat and looked quizzical at his assistant.
"Isn't it time for the show? "
Assistant Luke nodded " Yes it is"
" Then why are you still standing here? Lead the way"
'Why am I still here? To wait for you of course !' Ass. Luke sneered but those words didn't get to the ears of the culprit.
Fifteen minutes later, a Bentley stopped infornt of the TFICNF media company, specifically at the TV department. A very handsome man stepped out of the car and strode forward, his assistant followed behind with a look that match that of his boss. Their look alone seem to warn people to stay in their boundaries.
When Louisa, the host heard of their arrival, she began the show by addressing the viewers and those listening through radio.She then welcomed Emil after.
" Today on our show, our very own special speaker has something for us, so don't move from your seat as our speaker brings his words to us. You may get your share and so will I.
And the good news today is, the line will be activated for you to call and say or ask anything to our speaker,but whatever is said should revolve around the topic for discussion .
Now....," Louisa turned to Emil and continued " the ball's in your cult, what should we expect from you today? "
" Once I received a message from an unknown number, and the person wanted to know the secret to a successful relationship. It was quite ironic since am also seeking for the same thing. But because am the speaker for this show, I have to come up with a better solution to that message.
I've thought hard about this for days and am finally able to come up with something. And that is YOU !"
Emil smiled as he pointed at the camera, but not once did he look to Louisa.
"Yes, you're going to help me solve this question by sharing your experiences and ideas. To begin with..."
The sound of the phone cut through Emil's sentence, the line got connected and a feminine voice sounded,
"Hello"
"Hi, speak"
"My bestfriend whom I love and thought he loves me too, cheated with another friend of mine after we got engaged. What do you suggest I do now that my life seem to be over and everything else is destroyed?"
There was silence after the caller spoke, Emil stared unblinkingly at the camera before speaking
" Life and death is in the Lord's control, our ways are not God's ways. So even if we want,our life can never be over unless the Lord claims it. Your life can never be destroyed over a breakheart, and don't ruin yourself because your friends cheated you.
They don't deserve your pains and he isn't worthy of your love.
When one door closes, a much better one opens. Stop staring at the closed door and look towards the better door being open to welcome you.
And don't regret loving the wrong guy at all, it's just his bad luck to have lost you, and it's your good luck to have gotten rid of him.
I won't say it will be easy to forgo everything, on the contrary, it will be much difficult because the people we love the most, hurt us the most.
Just don't lock yourself in, be open to welcome new people and experience true love with the right person.
Remember, you didn't lose but rather, you gained something. And that's experience. "
Emil smiled at the camera as the second caller came through,
"Hello"
" Hi, speak am all ears"
" Can I know your secrets to a successful career and relationship?"
'What? relationship?' Louisa was hyperventilating, she wanted so bad to disconnect the call. She was worried Emil might say something that may go contrary to their supposed relationship !"
" Okay, I will try and answer your question one after the other. " Emil cleared his throat and patiently stared at the camera as he spoke.
"The first is about the secrets to a successful career, before I proceed, I would like for you to know that there are no secrets. Not just anyone can be successful in his or her career, only determination, hard work and humbleness can make one successful in life.
If we forgo these, then there's no need to pursue a career.
Am just one of those who were determined, who worked hard and most importantly who humbled themselves.
So if you want to know my secrets, then these well known words are the only secrets I have.
Also to the second part of your sentence, you mentioned about the secret to my relationship. I don't know the kind of relationship you are speaking of, but I will try to touch on every relationship of mine.
First, like I said with the career, hard work, determination and humbleness also maintain and strengthens the bond of a family. You will have to shower it with love and care.
This also applies to all kinds of relationship, be it boyfriend girlfriend relationship, fiance fiancee relationship or husband wife relationship. Nothing of this sort will work if love and care is absence. Hope I was of help to you? "
The questions and answers went on for an hour before Emil decided to bring the show to an end. But before he could finally end, a question about his love life popped up, and to that, he just answered,
" You will get to know at the right time"
Even that answer annoyed a certain lady who sat across from him.
