(JERRY'S POV)
I have been thinking too much with the thought of Rosie's attitude. What have I done really. She won't even give me the time to explain things to her. Could it be that, she have another date and let go of me? I thought to myself in pains. I have never had this feelings before. She is so exceptional in all. It seems that we are from the same world. Should I call this last time or not? I have been so scattered and not composed since she left for service. These thoughts are just too much for me. I was contemplating on what to do, when I heard a small and soft inner voice say to me "call her right now". I hurriedly took my phone from the table and clicked on the dialed list. I paused for a while to calm my Breath.
*Popo…..popo...po"
Hello! Rosie, please listen to what I am about to say. Hello …..with a backdrop of someone crying. I asked curiously! Are you ok?
Jerry! She called my name soberly. Jerry, I'm so sorry you know! I listened quietly to her. I was so carried away. I was so confused about us that I wanted to end it and accept someone else. I have tried but none worked out. You are still the one in my heart and I am so comfy that I felt at home with you. Please forgive...me!
'Shhh....Hush now! Stop crying. It's ok'.
I have never seen or heard her sobbing before. But it aches my heart hearing her right now. I can't help but be happy that she is back to me. My love for her is genuine and I am the only one that can handle her. I thought happily.
Rosie! Can you hear me now? Am all yours. Since the day I meant you in that hall. I know vividly that I am yours. My instinct never lied. So please wash your tears now and go to bed. I will call back in the morning. Ok!
It's ok Jerry. I love you. I love you too, I said with joy in my heart.

(ROSIE'S POV)
After the end of my services, I was issued an NYSC certificate. It has been a wonderful experience in Sokoto. The harsh and cold weather is terrific. When it's hot, it will be extremely hot and when it's cold, it looks like snow is falling down and they are at peace with the non indigenes. Their love for volleyball is exceptional. Even as far as their secondary schools, it is military structured with a volleyball court. It's time to go home... feeling grateful to right now
After my service in October 2019, I was back home to my mums. I have been searching for jobs for some time now. All the promises I got before my service didn't push through and I am so frustrated. At my night calls with Jerry, he told me to go through Facebook. I took the search seriously like never before. I went on Facebook. Then I got one after my interview at a farm.
I resumed work at Eco Habitat Farm in the year 2020, as sales representative and working as a digital marketer in the farm's online platform. After a few months, I was made the Manager of the farm with 30 staff and 15 contact staff working under me. The farm is so large that we have 15,000 laying birds and 5,000 broilers of different batches. We also have 400 pigs in the piggery unit, 20,000 fish of the cat fish products. There's a feed mill, canteen. I have staff stationed on each unit.
Each day passes, the farm is increasing and the staff strength is not enough. We have to resume by 7:00am and close at 4:30pm. But if it's time for production of feeds, the closing time will be exceeded. I was also handling the accounting department and disbursing salary to my staff because of not having an accountant which makes my work more elaborate but before going for night rest, I always send the soft copy of my reports in an Excel sheet to my MD.
