SWEET

The Journey

How come life seems this way my God only me all these things i'm facing my God why can't you just help. This is all shindara's thoughts as she was on her mattress. She couldn't helped but rolled from side to side as she remembered tomorrow is the last day for her to pay her school fees for the last semester. God na why oh why!!!!! This screaming got nothing but tears for her, she rapped up everything and decided to sleep saying whatever would happen would happen I can't force anything. It didn't take time at all the day was dawn and she was ready for class.

While in class she couldn't concentrate as the deadline for the school fees is almost up. Unknown to her all the mood she was displaying was being watched by Dele who only felt concerned and decided to ask her after the class. After class Dele gently lifted her up from her sit while she was bending her head and took her outside. While they were outside shindara was quiet for 5minutes Dele really wanted to know what's happening to her. She smiled as her usual habit was nothing yeah nothing at all I'm fine. Dele insisted she wasn't fine and he would love to hear her out. Dele persistence made shindara speak up and said she hasn't paid for the semester. Dele was shocked and said why did you keep this to yourself, she only looked at him saying nothing as she wouldnt want to start a story she knew she wouldn't finish. Dele made up his mind to help her with it, he told her to share up and put in a smile on her face. She was so happy this is happening. Thanks so much she said bowing her head, they both went to the class and finished the lecture for the day.

While shindara was on her way home she received an e-receipt on her phone indicating she has paid for her fees. Shindara screamed out loud not minding she was on the road she said thank you Lord. Yesss, happily she went to her hostel and drank the last cup of garri she had with joy.

Yes now that the fees is settled I can now fully concentrate on my studies and pass well I'm so excited. Shindara took her course note and read thoroughly. When she was done she thought of what she could get for Dele since she knew he was the one God used. She decided to get him a golden handkerchief which she bought before sleeping.

A beautiful day it was as shindara radiated with joy as she proceeded to the class and listened to the lectures attentively. Dele was so happy he could see her smile back, she called him out during break and told him she would love to thank him and give him a gift. She brought out the golden handkerchief which she had bought. Dele was happy even if it was a token.

How time flies they were approaching exam period everyone seems so busy shindara was so busy she didn't have time to see anyone. The examination went well she finished it well and expected to be posted for her nysc within 3months and true to this she was posted. Shindara was so excited when she was posted to Oyo for her nysc. She was happy looking back wow God you are faithful. While she was in her youth service she couldn't help thinking of Dele who helped her with her school fees. She continued her one year service and ended it and started searching for job. She looked around but couldn't find as the vacancies were full. At the verge of giving up she saw a company inscribed GOLDEN she proceeded to try. She entered the company and asked the receptionist if there is a vacancy and she was told yessss she can proceed as the interview she on going.she walked in and sat with others. When it was her turn to get in she pray God let me get this one. She then walked in with her file in her hands waiting for the boss to tell her to sit. He didn't she kept standing staring at the office still the inscription of Golden on everything in the office. She couldn't get any reason why the boss didn't ask her to sit and she didn't want to talk too.

10minutes later the boss raised his head and said welcome to GOLDEN she smiled seeing his face it was Dele who had helped her in her university days. He smiled and said this is golden do you remember now. She smiled and said yes I do, he told her he would love to take her out and discuss something with her. The receptionist was shocked to see that the lady who just entered won the boss heart. Dele to shindara out and they spoke, she got the job and he made sure he checked on her from time to time. Within 6months he took her to the company alone on a Sunday at the golden spring water and knelt down saying the priceless jewel oluwashindara kindly marry me. Shindara screamed and said yes I will. Thanks for making the journey SWEET
