Its 4years now isabella and i parted ways never lost contact though we entered different universities.

my parents moved to our own newly built house far away from Isabellas home. Her home was close to the church as her dad owned the church and it's branches scattered around the state.

Her i am still single, seeing pictures of isabella with different guys, and yet she says she still honours our pact.

Hmmmm... i must have felt really foolish to believe her and honour our promise at my end.

University life is going great, lucas a friend to isabella and i just impregnated his girlfriend and denied responsibility of the child even though we all know fully well he is responsible.

He told us he wasn't ready both financially and otherwise to take up such responsibility yet that when he's ready he would come for anita and his child. I was able to convince him to go meet the girls parents for assurance of responsibility.

Had to accompany lucas, to anitas parents so they would know neither their daughter nor lucas were bad people but they just made grave mistakes. Thank God for her parents understanding to take care of the child till lucas was ready. But it wasn't an easy tussle though.

Anita hard headed attends class with her big tommy refusing to stop schooling paying deaf ears to critics. What resilience i admired.

"Taking Responsibility isn't easy" I said out loud while alone that evening. Just then tears rolled down my cheek as isabellas word echoed in my head.

"Sounding my sound isn't enough, can you sound the right sound?"

"The right sound of taking responsibility for anything that could come up if we decided to give the relationship a try?"

Lucas ordeal made me understand fully well how my best friend actually saved me such stress and mess as lucas is in now.

"Lord please help me bless, keep and protect isabella" i prayed though skeptical if she is still devoted to our agreement as i fully am.

It's 8years, I'm 26 now, done with school, a millionaire business owner now with lots of workers,

"I'm now a biggg guy" i said taunting myself for calling me a bad guy earlier on but something was missing.

In the course of school, i lost isabellas contact.

"Oh lord has she gone rogue like i heard?".. but i was determined to save her if she has just as she saved me from responsibilities i wasn't ready for years back.

"Wait! am i still a fool for going this far?" i thought to myself once more.

"Am i stupid for honouring my promise, what if isabella is married??" I gave a deep sigh. But i wasn't going to stop till i was sure. But at that i was glad she had taught and guided me on purity even while she wasn't around.

But still how could i be this foolish?, am i the only one reaching out, does isabella still remember me?"
