BELINA (Tender Beauty) SEASON 1
*****EPISODE 37*****
That was the beginning of our relationship and it is an experience that remains stamped in my memory. We were together for 3months, had some misunderstandings which never lasted two days before either of us, mostly him would dissolve and exactly 3months after our relationship started, I got a ring on my fingers in a very dazzling way.
I had been at home all day, watching movies and listening to music to my heart’s content when all of a sudden, the lights went off. I was busy raining insults on NEPA and trying to look for the lamp when suddenly the lights went on again. It went off and it later started doing on and off like you would see in
ghost films. I was so scared that I ran out of the house in utter confusion and when I got outside, I saw a chauffeur who claimed to be sent by my father to get me away from the house that the house would soon
explode. I was so scared that I entered without complaints. He drove for a while and I asked him where he was going exactly and he said that I would know soon.
We drove for close to an hour without traffic and my panic started rising. I asked questions and he did not answer.
I started calling people secretly thinking that I was being kidnapped by nobody’s number was
going through. I almost died out of fear cos
everywhere was terribly dark.
We got to a place and he told me to come down.
“Are you crazy? Where am I?” I yelled as I stepped out of the car looking at the large
expance of bushes by my sides. He pointed at a tiny footpath at my front and said,
“Go through that path and you would your parents”, he said and as was protesting, he entered the car and zoomed off.
Tears started pouring down my face as I looked round in fear. I stared at the tiny footpath and was scared as hell then I remembered how I had escaped my previous kidnap and moved into the bush. The light from my phone did not even do anything to favour
me so I started running with tears in my face when all of a sudden light appeared everywhere and the whole place was filled with people screaming ‘surprise’. My heart jumped and relief washed over me even though my heart still beat wildly.
Prisca came to hug me and wipe my tears but I just stood there looking like I was in another planet. I was furious at the stunt they pulled but the anger died after I had been dressed by beauty queens who washed my feet tenderly. I wore a flowing red gown which was like
the most beautiful gown I had ever seen. When I got out, everyone had vanished and I was standing there looking lost again only that this time, I was not afraid. I turned round and saw
Richard coming towards. me being traced by a search light and when he got to me, he kissed my forehead and said, “I have been waiting for you, heart”. I kept quiet and he led me to the most beautiful place I had ever seen. We were
surrounded with flowers which sparkled in the dark like a star. I held him close as my breath was taken away and whispered,
“It is so beautiful Prince” He faced me and said,
“I want everyday of our lives to be more beautiful than this, love, but there is only one way this can happen” he said, knelt down and picked something from one of the flower and immediately, the flowers grew letters. I gasped and looked from the flowers to Richard and he produced a sparkling diamond ring.
“Please marry me”, he said and the tears in my eyes started flowing freely. I looked at the flowers and saw the
same words on it. I knelt down in front of him and shouted,
“Yes… yes… yes… I would marry you”.
He slipped d ring into my finger, I opened my eyes everyone was there taking pictures and I pulled Richard into my arms.
