PROLOGUE
My name is Ellise Williams, I don't have many friends but I have two whom I knew one in high school and the other in college. We normally talk like business women I mean we can talk once or twice but we do help each other a lot. Am married to Gabriel Tsuma whom I met in college when I was a first year while he was in his last year. Gab is black medium tall handsome man with black hair that I had a crush on him on my first day like who could not like him with all his handsomeness again he talks less, most importantly he is caring.
I have always wanted to find a man that loves me, cherishes me and takes care of me-man of my own. Am not a nerd but I would rather stay at home on weekends watching Netflix and chill with my BFF (my mom) when not studying, I and my friend persue plumbing which takes only two and half years. Enough of my happy love life, tomorrow is the first day of my college and I for one can't wait to graduate. I can't wait to start a new life.

" Beb can you calculate for me to the cost of this and make sure to be extra careful" I was just about to start calculating when my phone alarm wake me up. "Ugh! It's not fair" I love mathematics a lot. I looked at my phone it was 6:30 am in the morning, got out of bed and got ready for house chores before taking a shower, I like listening to music when doing something in the house most importantly the old school music. I got ready in no time; I wore my black and white dress and a pair of Snickers. Tied up my hair and made sure I had all my books in my bag and my necessities ( earphones and wallet). I went down stairs, closing the door of my room behind me. I sawa my mom by the kitchen drinking tea while cooking fried eggs. "Good morning mum" I said.
"Morning too sweetie. All ready for today?" She asked.
"Yup. All set and ready to go." I replied giving her a big smile.
"I'm leaving now. Bye mom" I said heading out.
I don't live too far from school. It's just 20 minutes drive. On my way to school my mind is full of questions without answers, like I don't have any friends or anybody that I know I can reach out to ask something. Also remembering something funny my brother told me when he was at first year he could always and I mean always be late to class just because he didn't know all the building blocks in school which made him cry on his first month.
"Hey, morning." I heard a voice of a man talking to me. Am not a shy person, I raised my head up to see who was talking. My mind went blank from the person that I saw, he was a student who I met when he was on his attachment period but I dared not to talk to him because he was really trouble. He is called Gisairo.
"Hahaha. Morning too" faking a smile, back in my mind at least someone knows me.
"Do you remember me?" Gisairo asked
"Yeah I do remember you and how trouble you're" faking a smile again .
" It's okay at least you know someone now. I know you're new bug I won't take advantage of you."
"Which course do you take?" He asked
"I take plumbing" I answered
"Oh! That's my course then let me take you to some of my classmates so that you will have someone to talk to and show you around," he said giving me a big smile.
"Thank you." I answered in my mind am like so he can be kind also but anyways I'll take a shot to trust him .
Gisairo took me to his classmates who were sitting outside the plumbing workshop.
" Guys have brought you a new student taking our course."
" Gisairo said looking very happy. I took a look at them and thank goodness I got to know some girl who we usually meet at the market, her name is Becky.
Becky is some girl that can sleep with old men as long as " Kuna ganji"(money) but she has a crush on Gabriel his classmate.
" Hey I know you" Becky said looking at me with some sort of smile.
"Yeah I know you too." I said
" May we know your name please?" I heard a gentle voice, looking at the person who talked he killed my eyes; really, he was way too handsome that it took me some seconds to answer back. Gabriel was the one asked.
" Yup, am Ellise Williams," I answered but I felt like my heart melting just looking at him also my heart was beating like a turbo V16(wathong ). Looking at Becky I felt a sense of jealous in her eyes and turning back to Gabriel he was staring at me. Gabriel is Gisairo and Becky's classmate.
Becky and the others like to talk a lot unlike Gabriel, they started to talk some sort of stories and kept laughing until when Gab took an intiative to shut them up by saying "mnaharibu mgeni" (spoiling the guest). Becky said in unmannerly way "she isn't a child but a grown up". I did not talk too much but I really wanted to because it's not my personality to keep silent.
I was listening to music when I hard from a friend of Becky who had just arrived asking about me and Gab said not to ask, "an early bird catches the worm."
The first day at school was way too warming than I thought. On this day I thought we could get to class and learn but it's the opposite. We talked more than 3 hours in one place until we decided to break and go home. On our way home at the gate Becky said to Gab "chukua namba ya mgeni." He was hesitant to ask but this was a test from Becky to see if he can do it. We said goodbye to each other at the gate and everyone went on his own way.
Back in my mind it is really crashing all the walls, hahahaha I really wanted him to ask for my number cause I had fallen for him at first sight my goodness. I have to stay calm though not to show to anyone about my feelings.
FLASHBACK
Wait 1year ago after my high school I had fallen for a man too. Alex was my first love we met some years back and grew up together, I really loved him though but this is what happened some months ago.
Hey, Alex what plans do you have for the future?
Me? I just want a simple and lovely life, Alex said to me.
Wait don't you include me in your future plans I mean we have been dating for a long time now and as for me a serious about our relationship.
Oooh yeah sorry I do include you but....he stopped talking and kissed me on the chick saying bye.
I was left in a dilemma but what????? Let me say Alex was not serious with me, on arriving home I went straight to bed because I had a lot in my mind again I don't understand my heart was feeling empty with no warmth. On this night we did not talk to each other the reason I don't know either.
Three days have passed and Alex has not contacted me or texted me and am like we did not quarrel why are we not talking, in my mind I just know Alex loves me but I did not feel the love over the months. Breaking out the silence I decided to him and know how he is unfortunately he told me "give some minutes I will call you back " and am like at least I'll know but what?
Time flew so fast and more than 6 hours has gone without receiving a call from him. "Can you move on I told you he is not trustworthy and he doesn't love you siz, you're giving yourself Soo much stress . There are many guys out then that will love you and adour you please siz," Trevor said to me. Trevor is my elder brother, yeah siz move on he is just a scum and by the way you look beautiful when you smile, Willies said to me giving me a smile.
Days have gone receiving the same answer when I call him, I sat down in my room wondering what I did wrong to him to deserve the punishment. When am having trouble in my mind I will always watch a movie so on this day, Jan-23-2014 I sat down on my bed and asked myself what I really want and if I do love this man so I took out my laptop opened the movie app,searched for a movie and watched for a whole series in on day. Waking up tomorrow my head was spinning and my stomach I can say how I felt but this movie really helped me because I got the answers I was seeking for.
1. Alex never loved me I was just a toy to him
2. I am still young to cry because of love and I still had a long life ahead of me.
3. I sealed my love heart and left it for fate to decide when Mr. Right will appear.
Walking down stairs with a joyful face I started I knew start with no regrets. Greating my brothers and my mom who is my BFF, I took breakfast with them showing them that I have moved on.
END OF FLASHBACK
I boarded a matatu and went home, on arriving home I couldn't keep my mouth shut. " Mom, today is my lucky day at school" I said to mum giving him a big smile as if I won a jackpot.
Mom: " how was school dear?"
Me: " school was so fine, I think I found the love of my life " talking to her happily
Mom:" I thought you had sealed you loving heart? What has suddenly changed?"
Me:" mom I know I sealed it but I think that fate has opened it now because I found my Mr. Right."
Mom:" forget about Mr. Right, I sent you to school to learn and not Mr. Right remember?"
Me:" mom I know I should learn but this is also my life I should take chances if one is there, mom am telling you he is a fine guy you will love him as your son-in-law hahahaha."
Mom: " okay but I don't mean not to take chances"
it's that am worried you may get hurt again one day.
Me:" mom relax, at least let me give it a shot "
Mom:" okay but remember to keep yourself safe"
Me: " thank you mom"
Talking to mom always I always feel at ease because she is my BFF and my sister. Whenever am wrong she will correct me, so telling her that I have fallen in love it's nothing. My mom is so funny that she even told me to take care seriously!!!!hahahaha.
During dinner my mom gave me some lecture on how to handle myself while in college and also told me to emphasize on my studies, for it was my life am making. My head was spinning all night that I couldn't get any more sleep because of Gab. He is really a catch that I could not wait for tomorrow and see if I can get his contact number. For me to distract myself I took my phone out to watch a movie on Netflix since watching is my hobby, I searched for a movie on and chose arrow because I have been watching since season one and now it's season five episode ten, my brain was tired of thinking that I did not even finish watching the episode but I felt asleep.
