***************
Ugo made up his mind to heed to his friend's counsel. Patrick was right after all.
'Why waste his energy and emotions on someone he would never have'.
Yes he loved Linda! Yes he wanted to marry her! That was in the past, it was going to stay in the past.
For now instead of imagining how life would have been if Linda was his, he made up his mind to cherish the gift he had in a wife, in Sarah!
Patrick had suggested some things he needed to do rekindle his love for his wife and he was going to start to do those thing. Not like the love he had for her had diminished but he knew that he needed to fan the flames again and make her the object of his attention.
He knew he loved Sarah and he made up his mind to go all out to prove his love for her.
Her birthday was in three days time, he had a plan...
**************
'The second thing I love about you is the way you dress. Its alluring! I thought I had swag, then I met you and discovered I was just a learner..."
She read the message again for the umpteenth time. He was up to something!!!!
She could feel it, the thought made her smile
*******************
'The way that guy looks at me is somehow like he knows me from somewhere' Ugo said to Patrick when he went again to chat with him in his office.
'Oh if its Anthony, that's how he is, always smiling' Patrick said after looking over his shoulder to see Anthony smiling and looking at his phone.
'Boy Its two p.m already I should head back to my office and see how things are with the guys. I told them to give me about a week off so I can relax' he winked
'I'm happy you are going on with the plan' Patrick said as they stood up to walk to his car.
Anthony stood up too, but to get something else. He met them on the stairs leading to the car park.
'Do you know from me somewhere?' Ugo asked Anthony who was walking towards them with a mischievous smile playing on lips
********************
'Madam, persin they fine u' Adamu the gate man said as he walked into the sitting room
'Who is that?' Sarah asked. She loved to hear him talk, his accent was peculiar. She knew it was common with where he came from unlike what she was exposed to.
'I nor sabi the man Madam' Adamu replied.
'Ok let him in' she responded.
Sarah saw a man walking into the compound, he was probably in his early thirties. He wore a black jeans trouser and a black T-shirt and DHL jacket on top of it.
She suspected he wanted to deliver something or maybe it was just a letter but he was holding something else.
He walked towards the front door and knocked.
She wasn't sure what to do so she quickly got a knife from the kitchen and hid it in her back pocket.
Not like she was intending to use it
'But its better safe than sorry' she reasoned
She arranged her hair and opened the door for the stranger.
'How can I help you'? She asked
'Good afternoon Ma! I was told to deliver this to one Sarah in this address' he said handing over a package wrapped in a brown envelope with the receipt of the waybill wrapped around it.
'Please sign here' he presented a paper and handed her a pen to sign.
'Ok' she took the pen and signed, then handed it over to the man.
'Thank you' he turned and was gone.
She locked the door and turned the envelop over and over again
'What could it be' she wondered
First she checked who the sender was
It read
'from your secret admirer'
'Who was that?' She asked out loud to no one
'Was someone trying to play a prank on her?'
Maybe she should just wait for Ugo to come back and see it in case it was something bad.
Her mind was racing.!!!
She dropped the package on the center table and walked away to get dinner started but her curiosity wouldn't let her be.
So she walked back to the sitting room and tore the envelop open
She couldn't believe it.
What see saw made her eyes pop out from its socket
