Heart Apart

"I'm not responsible for the pregnancy. So, go look for who's responsible and stop diving into my personal matters" said Bernard.

"I will make sure you face justice for this scar you made me to found myself!" Wotini said with tears.

HOW IT STARTED…

Students were going up and down stairs at the faculty of law- during third week of the second semester resumption — while some were busy roaming around the school premises gisting and laughing.

I was running as if I was been chased by an African masquerade. At this point, the sky was pregnant ready to give birth.

In not less than ten minutes after I entered the faculty building, there was a heavy rainfall that lasted for over thirty minutes.

While in my state of deep thoughts, came a handsome dark guy, Bernard with a smile of hope and confidence roaming around his facial expressions — a three hundred level student of the faculty of law; who were in his twenties.

"Hello, I can't believe that a queen could be seating like this as though she read a dirge poem" he said with a deep smile.

"Really?" I asked while adjusting my seating position.

"Yeah.." he replied nodding his head.

"I guess is because of the cool weather" I said in pretence. "So sorry dear" he said. "Please can you put it on for the main time!" he said pulling out his sweater handling it to over to me. "Ah, I…do…don't understand; I stammered.

"Don't worry, you deserved it" he said smiling, looking straight to my eyes.

"You looked at me so serious…what's the matter" I asked anxiously.

"Hahahaha, no…not…not all, just that...he said confusingly. "Hey, guy…come-on. Can you please spell out!" I forced him with a twisted look to say something.

"You know, that, ehh, am…" "hey guy you are still inside the pot of confusion. Can you please rush up like a parrot?" I added with a smiling look. "Alright, hold on let me speak out what's rooted in my heart" he said…"My ears are in a hurry to grab your words". I said.

"Wotini! please can we be friends?" Inquired Bernard.

"We're friends already. Is there any other friendship than you giving me your sweater to cover up the cool?" I said gazing directly as him with a bucket of smiles.

He froze

"Wow; amazing!" he said confusingly.

"It seems you are not satisfied with the reply, right?"

"No, no no, its alright". "Are you sure?" "Yeah, very sure". "Okay! Thank you." "My pleasure," Bernard replied, and left.

I was already in-love with Bernard with all the drama I displayed in pretence. Bernard was said to be a very kind, cute, and adorable guy who never plays with his emotions over a girl.

Few minutes after the rain at the close off the day, I approached him with his sweater and handed it over to him.

"Hey! Bernard, have your sweater!" I said.

"Do you want to go?" "Yeah! I believed it's time — because am occupied with a lot of house chores today." I said stirring at Bernard with a loved look.

"Alright dear. And same here — I have a few plentiful work at home. I would have to be on my way home, right now" I said and left with a smile.

"Hey, Wotini, excuse me please," Bernard called me back.

"Hey, here am I…" I said.

"I don't mind us exchanging contacts, please " pleaded Bernard. I agreed and we did…! Thereafter, we both dispersed to our various positions.

I kept on smiling while on my way home. I felt I have finally gotten what my heart has been panting for few months ago.

"If he insist on me to be his friend for the second time, I won't second-guess before accepting it, asap. I love this guy, Bernard" I said silently.

We chatted each other throughout that night, and I enjoyed his humorous moments.
