Adah entered her wing and all of a sudden felt empty and forlorn. She wondered where Munah had gone to and could not understand why he never told her, She opened her bedroom door and looked inside with tears in her eyes she remembered the passion they have shared and a thought hit her. She rushed into her bathroom and refreshed herself before dressing up. She put on a pair of black fitted jeans trousers and a t-shirt. Her footwear was fur strapless sandals. She looked so casual but still elegantly dressed and expensive. She came out and rushed out of the door. She seemed to be in a hurry as she drove out of the mansion, on the road that leads to the gate, she drove as if she never cared for her own life. Entering the highway, she reduced the speed and allowed some calmness into her mind and spirit. She brought out her phone and called the agent she met online. She picked up almost immediately and told her that she was on her way to Creek Island. Not fully knowing the place, Adah relied on her Google Earth and map to direct her after the agent had forwarded the address. When she reached the expected address, she discovered the agent is already at the place. She entered the huge gate and drove for two minutes before sighting the huge seven-bedroom duplex. She parked her car and came out. The agent came up to meet her and they shook hands and greeted warmly. Since it was Adah's choice, the agent knew that little or no persuasion need to be made. She simply took Adah around the whole property and showed her all the facilities including the underground office space and garage. Adah loved what she saw and without any other questions, she made the transfer for the complete purchase of the property. The agent was a little surprised but at the same time happy for Adah who asked that the documents of the property be in the name of Munah and hers at the same time. After the purchase was completed, Adah collected the documents and drove out. Creek Island is an Island that is meant for the rich. It is located on the western side of the Atlantic Bay, a place that is close to the Atlantic sea. It is a place that is adequately planned to favor the rich. It is located on the outskirts of the city and the drive from Creek Island to the metropolis is not more than an hour's drive. Adah loved everything about the house. To her, it is a love nest for herself and her Munah whose absence still hurts her. She loved everything about the interiors, the furnishing looks foreign, the decorations are all spot on, and the entire space allowed for effective ventilation. Adah loved the large frames and artwork on them, the kitchen is so wonderfully equipped but she wants to add a little bit of her special touch and class. She will employ a male housekeeper to help organize the property.
She wondered what to do and not knowing how to settle her worried mind, sent a message to Munah's phone. She wondered what she has done wrong to have warranted his absence. There is no hiding the fact, it seems that Lily knows something about his absence, Lily's quietness and not wanting to say a word should attest to the fact. She knows her friend very well or maybe Lily does not want to involve herself in their matter so that a quarrel will be adequately avoided. Adah not knowing what to do, picked up her phone and dialed Munah's number for the third time. It rang but was not answered. She thought of what to do but could not put her thoughts together as her heart gradually was overtaken by nothing but jealousy. She heaved and knowing not what to do any longer, she decided to call Mrs. Randolph. She denied being with Munah but advised her to call him. Adah hung up and decided to go to the fountain square. She reached Fountain square in good time and called his number again. He picked this time, she started by asking him almost all the questions at once and in one breath.
"Where have you been?" She asked
"Just got home and preparing to come to you. Where are you?" He asked
"I am at Fountain Square..." Adah said
"Please wait for me there I will come to meet you within the space of three minutes," Munah said with a voice far to be surprised as Adah observed his surprise. She put down the phone and came out of the car, she leaned on the car and waited with her eyes on the time. As she lifted her eyes she saw him coming to her, she ran towards him and flung herself in his arms. They embraced passionately with Adah searching his eyes with hers. They walked to the car together and entered the car. Munah discovered that she does not want to leave him and cursed himself for not being tactful. As he looked at her passionately, he also discovered that he could not have gone out with Mrs. Randolph.
"Do you know Creek Island?" She asked softly looking at him as if she just found her lost expensive jewelry.
" Yes... it's by the ocean bay as you drive towards the Atlantic." Munah said and looked at her with questioning eyes. She smiled and looked away as Munah playfully pulled her to himself in the car. She playfully pulled away and insisted that he should leave her alone. He laughed softly but sensed that note of jealousy in her voice. "I want us to talk there but we must get a little food," Adah said looking at him as his face lit up in surprise. He started the car and drove off. As he drove Adah relaxed fully on the seat and raised one of her legs on the seat of the car. She raised the armrest so she can have access to him as he drove. She brought out her phone and called Lily. They chatted away as he drove towards Creek Island. They stopped by and had dinner at a restaurant that Adah loved and insisted on having a takeaway. He ordered some chicken, chips, and sauce which were packaged alongside some drinks. Putting the items on the back of the seat they entered the car and drove off. Adah wants to pour out her heart to him. She wants to tell him her fears and all that he needs to know about her. She also wants to know where he went to and with whom. She wants to hold him and reassure herself of his love. She wants to thank him for every of his sacrifice and responsibility. She wants to tell him of the success of the surgery and know if in the next two months they can visit her. She wants to give him her all with the whole love in her to offer.
"We will take the day off tomorrow, spend some time together, and tidy up the meager process before calling for a meeting," Adah said looking at him as if begging him to accept the proposal she is making.
"That is working from your home office?" Munah asked with a smile.
" No... I mean we will be off duty tomorrow," Adah said looking at him with laughter in her mouth. Munah liked her deep soft laughter and enjoy listening to her when in this kind of mood. She stopped laughing and leaned forward to switch on the car sound system. Munah demanded a Country music radio. She was thrilled to hear that a radio dial of such nature exist, She dialed the station and it was a Kenny Rogers song that filtered out of the speakers. She reduced the volume and adjusted her long hair as the lyrics swept her away. The track that was playing seem to be her immediate circumstance. As Kenny's golden voice sang those lyrics of "you decorated my life" Adah was lost in thoughts on how she met Munah never first knowing that he will be the one that will sweep her off her feet. Though it did not take her long because a few moments after that first encounter she fell in love and now he has indeed put laughter and joy in life, decorating every aspect of her. As she listened to the song, she remembered how fast things would change, this is what Lily had always told her when it seemed that the world is falling on her. Lily had always told her to be calm and receptive to her wants and desires, warning her of the intricacies of following her head. Now she has followed her heart and what a blessing it had turned out to be! Since when Munah came into her life, she has found a reason to laugh. Joy is now an everyday occurrence and with this experience, she knows that it must grow. Her vow towards him is real and sincere. Her vow to him is from the depth of her heart that is why she will go the extra mile to ensure that happiness is what he will be rewarded with. She does not mind spending her last dime to ensure that his happiness is secured.
