This portion of my life is history, I'll never be that way or that person again. -Ena's Words
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After undertaking the various Jobs for the week Ena was exhausted, working for good 7 days with little rest. Went she got home she went straight to her room to take a shower. Undress she enter the bathing tub and suck herself in the water. in there she had a long dreamt.
O. M I'm in love, Winning this tournament will be for him. I want to train to my best capacity because I want him to see me as a winner. Please, can you help me?. Ena complains to her brother Owen till he gives in to her request.
Hey Choco, this cutie eyes of yours always make me fall for you. Oh, my heart!! It hurt!! I'm in love, in love, Owen joked.
Stop all this O. m, am serious. Tell me, what do guys love most in a woman.
Choco you are not a woman, are you?
Owen, please stop being a jokey, Ena was pissed off. I am a woman, I have everything a woman possesses. Why not, why? Doesn't I look like a woman? She complains looking sad.
Oh Choco, I can see you are serious. You are a lady but not a woman. My baby sister is in love i know and I sense it, but it makes my heart hurts a little. Choco, he called her name holding her hands. Anytime you call me by my name i know you are serious. I want you to understand something important. Boys can be tricky when it comes to love. Love is sweet when you meet the right person but when goes wrong, your heart will be untamed. You are just 14 years old Choco.
You know i love you so dearly. Okay, let make a deal. Allow me to meet him. If i sense anything fishing about him then you can forget about him.
Is that a deal Ena asked feeling happy. Yes, it is Owen replied. Don't be too happy because you don't know if the outcome will be a Yes.
Ena jumped for joy. Yes... Yes.... Yes... That's the reason you are the best brother in the world. I love you O. M
But you just told me you love someone else, Owen acted playfully.
She paused for a while as if thinking of something. Yes, I love him but I love you more.
....................
A WEEK AFTER
Frank, Owen and Ena met in a fancy restaurant at Shoprite Mall Victoria Garden City. Sitting face to face was Owen and Frank while Ena sat beside Owen.
They should be no need for formality, Owen said. You know I am the love of her life and I know you are Frank Leonard who lives four blocks away from our resident. You work in your dad company, graduated as the best student in your institution. But there's something I don't know. Owen paused and look straight in his eyes. Why my sister?
Why Ena, Frank repeated
Yes, why do you choose her as your target? Owen asked
Ena is my target, Frank replied smoothly. I chose her because she is the only lady that makes my heart stop. When i first saw her, I was speechless, i think all day of her. Please let her be with me, I want to make her my world.
I can see why my sister like you. You are good with words and I dislike guys with words. Though I like you a little.
Ena sitting close to Owen immediately embrace her brother. It's a yes isn't it, she asked happily.
Choco, let me be through with my interrogation, why cut in.
I know, I know O. M, it's yes. Her face was filled with gladen.
Alright, it's a yes, but frank remember these words " If she is happy, then I am happy, don't make her cry ".
Ena felt a gentle touch on her face. She opens her eyes only to see Tunde Brown.
You fell asleep he said in a low voice, i was searching around for you.
Huh, she responded. I never knew i fell asleep. I thought you are coming back next week, why are you here.
He felt hurt when Ena utter out such word but he acted normal. Are you not happy to see me?
No, don't think such. Of coz I am happy. You took me off notice.
Ena was stiff in the bathing tub, she tries to adjust her position. Tunde Brown stood up and give tower to dry herself. You must be cold dry yourself up. I will be in the study.
Ena got out of the bathroom, she stares at herself on the mirror, feeling depressed she say
" That portion of my life is history, I'll never be that way or person again "
