CHAPTER 38 Soji received a call from the police station requesting Luisa's presence because her friend demands her presence, he was initially against it but after giving it a thought he agreed and persuaded Luisa. It was a good thing that she had no exams that day and so they went together. Lola's parents were already at the police station awaiting Luisa and Soji so that they could apologize on their daughter's behalf. Luisa recognized them and so she went on her knees on sighting them, they looked at her with pity, she hasn't recovered that much, the scar on her cheek was there (will always be). They were short of words after they saw their daughter had done to a fellow human being, someone whom she claims she's friends with. Mr. and Mrs. Adetokunbo had been opportuned to see Luisa once before and this made it easier for them to see the difference. "Luisa my child, please forgive your friend"After a long observation Lola's mother finally spoke up. "even though she's not worthy of being your friend again please have mercy on her" Lola's father chipped in. Everything they said made her cry. She couldn't stand remembering Lola, the beginning of their friendship, the closeness they had experienced, she loved her more than she loved Becca, she felt and thought Lola was the best. This same Lola was the architect of her kidnap. "I can't forgive her" she blurted and ran out on everybody that was seated their, she was hurt and heartbrokeng. ****** On a sunny Wednesday, the day Luisa wrote her final paper. So far, it went well, all that had been revised with her by her boyfriend and her best friend had been of added advantage for her in the exams. she saw Becca running towards her direction, at first she felt she was there to congratulate her but no. "are you through with the exam?" she asked like she wasn't really concerned "you should at least congratulate me for writing my final paper at last" she retracted her smiling face seeing her friend's countenance. Becca noticed this and gave her a charming smile, "congratulations bestie. I came all the way here to see the smile on your face after your final paper as an undergraduate. This calls for celebration honey" she said giving her a tight hug. "we are in public" Luisa whispered to her ear. Becca gave no thought to what she said, she still held her friend to herself with tears of joy on their faces. "soji will be here any time from now to pick me home, let's wait for him so that he wouldn't meet my absence" "I've got you covered baby" she said as she pulled her along. "we are going to celebrate this somewhere special" She felt it would be better she called Soji to inform him of her outing with Becca, she told him she has no idea of where she was taking her but she's in safe hands. They got to an eatery around the school after 15-20minutes walk, Luisa was famished so she didn't bother to ask her friend why they are at an eatery to celebrate. The atmosphere at the restaurant was different. There were cars outside the eatery but not a single customer was in. There were balloons and decorations on the wall, the eatery attendants grin from ear to ear, she wondered what the cause of the happiness is. "was a party going on here?" she asked her friend who seem not to be surprised about what she saw. "I don't think so" she pulled a chair to sit while she gestured at an attendant, requested for two plates of Jollof rice, a little bit of Salad and chicken, table water and a bottle of Eva wine. Luisa was already salivating, she was very hungry. The food was brought after some minutes, she ate like someone who was eating her last meal not minding what was happening around her. The musical instruments that came from God knows where were brought to life before her with beautiful and romantic songs. That was when she looked up from her plate of rice, S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E was written on her face after seen whom she least expect. 4 Likes 1 Share |

CHAPTER 39 Tomilola and Toluwanimi Daniels who were clad in a pewter colored knee-length satin gown came to where Luisa was sitting, Luisa's siblings stepped in too. Astonished was an understatement, her jaw dropped when she saw Soji step into the hall from another direction he was looking more handsome than ever. Luisa tapped her friend who seem to pretend that nothing was happening around by concentrating on her chicken. "Becca, tell me what's going on here" she feigned anger. Becca laughed, stood and clapped, that was when she realized it was a planned activity which they had intentionally kept her out of. The instruments became loud, Soji was handed the microphone give his speech, he held on to the Mic with one hand and a balloon on his other hand. Everyone listened with rapt attention. At the end of his speech he stepped forward to where Luisa was standing, staring as though she had seen a ghost, by giving her the beautiful balloon he was holding which had a beautiful diamond ring at the tip. There were tears on her face, the tears of happiness that her dream was finally coming through. Spending the rest of her life with Soji was something she had been wishing for ever since they started dating. He knelt down with a leg "I've always looked forward to a day like this, my love please be my bride" Luisa screamed for joy, pulled him up and gave him a hug. Everybody clapped for them including the eatery attendants. Music was on and everybody took their seats to eat and celebrate the couple. The event was recorded by their sisters and sent to their parents who were absent. 5 Likes |

CHAPTER 40 The wedding introduction was to come up in a month time, the plan was that Luisa should get married before her service year. She realized her thoughts are being interrupted by the thought of Omolola and Funke, Forgiveness didn’t stop knocking on the door of her heart. She knew she didn’t want to forgive them for the sorrow they’ve inflicted upon her and her loved ones but another part of her was willing to forgive them. She felt consulting her mother was the best she was at home, she had been home some days after writing her final exam. ‘‘mom can I discuss something with you’’ she said walking towards the kitchen where her mom was cooking for her husband. ‘‘my mind hasn’t been at peace lately’’’ she said to her mother who was turning semo on the gas stove. ‘‘I can’t give you a response now that I’m cooking, I should be done in few minutes time’’ she replied her. Luisa who wanted an instant answer went back to her room disappointed. Calling Soji on phone to discuss with him was the best soothing balm to her troubled heart. She discussed what has been troubling her mind with him, forgiving the perpetrators was the last thing he could think of. Luisa was not pleased at her fiancé’s response to her plight. The stars beautifully adorned the moon that was brightly hung in the sky, Luisa was seated at the verandah relaxing after dinner, the past difficult times crept up to her thought, she felt hands on her shoulder giving a slight massage, and a beautiful song that only her mother could sing for her sounded in her ears. ‘‘I’m here to listen to you daughter, I’ve been busy. Sorry for not giving you a listening ear earlier’’ she smiled and sat by her beloved daughter. “you can tell me now’’ Luisa was happy her mother was there to listen to her. ‘‘its about my abductors mother…’’ ‘‘what about them my dear’’ she calmly interrupted her. ‘‘ my mind hasn’t been at peace, I want to forgive them’’ she couldn’t look at her mother’s face thinking she would flare up at the thought of forgiving people who tormented her for almost 2 years but she was wrong, her mother was proud of her. ‘‘you see Luisa, I’ve been expecting you to say this for so long now, this shows I brought you up so well I’m so proud of you my darling’’ she said smiling, gave her a peck on her forehead. Luisa felt a huge burden been taken off her mind and she was able to sleep well. 3 Likes |

She visited her abductors at the cell to do that which God had commanded her to do for them; forgiveness. Sophie’s result came out fine and she was a graduate. Her relationship with Sammy was taken to the next level, they both had been introduced to their respective families. Luisa and Sophie became good friends, she was present at the eatery on the day Luisa was engaged to Soji. Luisa’s wedding was fixed for 6 weeks after her introduction, Sophie’s wedding to Sammy was to come up 2 weeks after theirs. Soji helped Joe in establishing himself legally in a far away land because without him Sophie’s plan of making Luisa a free woman again would have been futile. Luisa graduated in flying colors and was retained to work at the university which she had graduated. She declined the offer knowing fully well that she wouldn’t be in that town after her wedding. 1 Like |

EPILOGUE ‘‘A penny for your thoughts, bride’’ Becca’s voice jolted her from her thoughts She smiled at her ‘‘God had really fought for me’’ ‘‘the people who will escort you into the hall are on their way in here so I’m here to clean the sweats on your face before their arrival’’ she said to her. Senator Daniels had handed his son tickets to him night before, tickets to where they would have their honeymoon, 3weeks honeymoon trip. They took off immediately after the wedding reception which had ended before the time of their flight. Omolola was sentenced to 7years imprisonment plus hardwork for being an accomplice to an outsider to kidnap someone whom she referred to as her best friend, Funke was given 30 years imprisonment alongside her boys. Luisa and Soji came back 2weeks after their wedding to attend Sammy and Sophie’s wedding. The couple and their parents presented the new couple a 3bedroom duplex, a car and tickets to New York city for their honeymoon. This was done as a token of appreciation to Sammy and his bride. 10months later, Luisa gave birth to female identical twins. THE END 5 Likes |
