LOVE TRAIN : THE HEART OF A WOMAN (Part 20B)

*continues*
I spent few days at the hospital before
returning to my house. The few days i
spent there however brought many
surprises, most especially from Lydia’s
cousin {the agent} who made it a point
of duty to check on me every morning
and evening.
Of course i was surprised at his
growing concern towards me, but
accepted it with happiness. I needed all
the love i could get to forget Kelvin and
luckily he proved capable of filling the
gap.
Nevertheless I liked him a lot and which
woman wouldn’t, after such act of
bravery and sacrifices he made for me.
Truly I respected and adorned him but
never attached romantic feelings to it,

because i felt his concern towards me
was just nothing but a friendship
gesture from a gentleman of honour.
Did i say gentleman of honour? Hmmm,
yea i did.
My friends equally weren’t blind to the
way he treated me. In fact Lydia went
far by revealing something that rose my
blood pressure with excitement.
“hmmm my cousin is in love with you,
oh and it’s such a good thing. It’s time
he gets married. He’s getting too old for
my liking” she whispered to me with a
friendly smile, leaving me shaking my
head with doubt.
“Can a man fall in love with a crooked,
spoilt, egocentric lady like me?” I
wondered.
“can a man who knew my terrible
secrets fall genuinely in love me?” i
asked myself over and over.
Surely love is a beautiful thing, but after
the Kelvin saga i resigned myself to
living like a man. I promised never to
hope on any man, but instead build my
future as a powerful lady enviable by all
men. But Lydia’s revelation brought
back the woman in me. The heart of a
woman.

“you know you hardly call me by name. I
prefer answering Julius than that formal
title you always address me with” he
{the good young agent} said to me as i
was discharged from the hospital. I
blushed like a little girl while Lydia and
Chika laughed.
Returning home after the worst
moment of my life was a dream come
true. My friends threw a lavish party for
me as if we were still teenagers. A
ceremony that cheered me up a great
deal.
Julius was equally present at the
occasion. He kept following me with his
eyes until he got a little chance to talk to
me privately.
“hey can we go to the backyard?” he
asked calmly, surprising me with such a
question.
“sure of course” i nodded politely, held
his hand and led him to the back of my
compound, which really was
wonderfully lit with colourful energy
lamps.
The scenery was just beautiful and calm
for two people to whisper together
without any interruption.
“hmmm such a beautiful castle for a
beautiful woman” he murmured,
stopped, faced me and stared into my
eyes. I nervously stared back at him. My
heart throbbed wildly, eager to hear
what he wanted to say.
It felt so good being out all alone with
him. I felt so different, so humble and
loyal. I was conquered by his spell.
It was just as if we were acting out a
screen play, acting out the ending of
Val’s Romance Vnovella …….
To be continued.

Are u people following me?
