THE UNEXPECTED LOVE
Season 2
Episode 47
Tochi averted her eyes from
Linda immediately the sound
came from the door. She
couldn’t guess who the person
was because nobody had ever
knocked at her door. Her mother
only opened it without knocking
or knock and opens instantly.
Was it Wisdom? No, Wisdom
only go straight to the backyard
and rather make himself known
using his mouth than knocking.
Sometime, he doesn’t even say a
word but stands at the door
until his presence is noticed.
Tochi cracked the door opened.
“Kingsley?” she dried her tears
again and rubbed her hands on
her black skirt like a Tata.
Hearing the name, Kingsley,
Linda sat up gazing at the door.
She couldn’t see anybody but
Tochi. But when the door was
opened widely, she saw Kingsley
gradually walking towards her.
While Tochi stood at the door to
take a look of what will happen.
“kingsley..” Linda paused.
“How can i stay when i know
you are in pains?” Kingsley
began. He stood beside the bed
staring at her. “If i dont forgive fine wedding garments with lace sleeves
you who will i forgive? If i turn
my back on you, definitely i I’m
turning my heart and feelings
down…”
Linda jumped up from the bed
and hugged him crying
uncontrollably. “I’m so sorry.
Please, forgive me..”
“Is okay, i’ve forgiven you
already” Kingsley held her
tightly while she cried on his
shoulder…

Wisdom and Chester were
together in the room-Chester’s.
It was no different from one of
the rooms he entered when still
in London-the electric white
bulb, pumping bed and pillows
and other modern materials.
“Guy, you are lucky” Wisdom
adjusted on the bed wearing a
light T-shirt which matched his
complexion. “Or should i say
Esther is lucky?”
“We are both lucky” Chester
replied in front of a mirror. He
adjusted his tie in a black suit
then turned. “How do look?”
“You luck great. Now, i can say
that Esther is the one lucky”
“Why, bro?”
“Because you are far more
handsome” they grinned.
“You won’t believe how
beautiful she is now” Chester
went back to the mirror but
Wisdom remained quiet. “That
reminds me, isn’t it time you
propose to Tochi?”
“Propose?”
Chester turned as if the question
was weird. “Yes, pro-po-se” he
opened his eyes widely.
“Calm down, bro. I will definitely
do that”
“When? Until thy kingdom
come? All these boys around
will take her from you if you
don’t act fast” he returned to
the mirror again smiling at his
own joke.
“Tochi can never fall for that”
Wisdom boasted smiling too.

Linda minimized the rate of her
tears. She sat side by side with
Kingsley on the bed. However,
Tochi had gone out giving them
some privacy.
“You know what?” Kingsley
began. “I also have a confession
to make. If i were to be a girl, i
would probably be in your
shoes now. So it doesn’t matter
anymore. What matters now is
after everything, we still love
ourselves” he looked at her. “I
still love you”
Linda stared at him but
suddenly averted her eyes. “But
what about the pregnancy?
Should i abort it?”
“No! Don’t, the owner will one
day come for it. Don’t harm an
innocent child” he hugged her.

# THREE_WEEKS_LATER
Calista had wedded already.
Now it was Chester’s wedding.
Jennifer, who was her bride’s
maid, and her mother totally
became deep into the things of
God.
The news was everywhere-
television, news paper, social
media: That the only son of Mr
Silva was getting married to a
daughter of Mr Godwin.
Everybody was in the church-
Tochi, the bride’s maid of Esther,
Wisdom, the best-man of
Chester, Linda, kingsley, Jennifer,
Calista and her husband, Edwin,
Melody, even Mr Nelson, the
principal and Mr Anuma who
stood beside him admiring their
handwork-bringing up the
children academically. Mr Anuma
adjusted his eyeglasses when
the marriage kicked off. “I will
enjoy this” he nodded his head.
Tochi and Wisdom occasionally
glanced at each other when the
priest was joining Esther and
Chester together. However,
Jennifer noticed a fair handsome
guy admiring her from a distant.
She averted her eyes instantly
when their eyes caught.
“You may now kiss your pride”
the priest announced. Then
Chester slowly unveiled Esther
and kissed her. Everybody began
to clapped.
Kingsley glanced at Linda. He
smiled at her and held her closer
to himself as not to feel…
outside the box.
“Better get prepared oh” Melody
whispered to Edwin and they
laughed.
The wedding came to an end.
When the pride and the groom
went home, everybody, who
knew Mr Anuma gathered
around him outside the church
feeling happy to see him once
again. Even Mr Anuma was
surprise to see how fat, tall
matured and most of all,
handsome and beautiful his
students were.
“Sir, i miss you!”
“Yes, even your grammar!”
“And your mode of talking!”
“Even your dressing!” they all
shouted and laughed.
“Look at you now!” Mr Anuma
adjusted his eyeglasses and put
his hand inside his pocket. “See
how predominantly your bodies
have squash unflinchingly”
They laughed. Even Mr Anuma
smiled at his own words. Just
then, Jennifer noticed the guy
coming to her..
