Monday evening 4:30pm, 15 minutes after i returned from church where i went to give keyboard lessons and had a meeting with my members as i am now a leader and the choir cordinator in my church.

TAP! TAP!!! TAP!! I heard on my door.

Behold it was lucas, anita and their baby. Lucas did fulfill his promise afterall.

"Heyyy! You're ready now man" i said giving lucas a tight huge.

"Thanks man, thanks for your help" lucas said refusing to break the huge

"No p broself us brothers gats have our backs, please come in".. i said after escaping suffocation from daddy dre.

"Yeah i know oga isaaabeeellaaa" he said jokingly or mockingly i couldn't tell. Because as my best friend, he knew about myself and isabella.

"Stopet" i replied jokingly

"Anyways we came because there's a friend of mine i want us to go see bro, you can't keep waiting for isabella, for all we know, she could be married by now. You're not getting younger oga singularin"... anita interrupted as lucas and i were catching up barely after they sat down.

"Ha Russian, you couldn't even wait a little first" lucas added

"Heyyy hey.. call me stupid, but I'm not getting involved till I'm sure about isabella" i said laughing. At that point, i felt like a fool saying those words.

"Anyways let me go take a bath" i added reluctantly. "I'm only doing this so you guys would leave my singleton alone" i said laughing.

We are at Anita friends house. Nervous me thinking of how I'm never going to call this mystery girl after today.

TAP! TAP!! TAP!!! Lucas knocked.

"Amaka get the door" i heard from inside.

"Omo that voice is divine" i thought out loud

"Loose guardddd" lucas replied

"Come sit please, my madam would be with you guys shortly, she's in the bathroom" amaka said.

Just when i was getting tired of our almost 2hours of waiting two lovely kids came chasing themselves playful to the sitting room. Followed suite was a lady behind them. Immediately without looking at her, i turned to lucas

"I'm here to be match maked to a single mother?" I whisphered to Lucas

"Shut up you fart and show courtesy you mess" lucas whispered almost immediately.

Turning to face this lady, it felt like heavens Shone as the lady i saw in front of me radiated beauty.

I stood up, walked towards her like i didn't have control over myself, I felt like heavens were let loosed for behold it was isabella standing in front of me.

Ackward silence fell on the room as different thoughts went through my mind.

so isabella is happily married, with two kids while i turned down nice ladies all in the name of honouring a child hood stupidity called a pact.

she seemed so shock to see me.

Thank God for little bethel who broke the silence that day.

"Aunty bel, are you guys going to kiss now like they do in the cartoons where the prince delivers a kiss of life?" Bethel said with a big smile.

"A..An..Aunty? ..n..n..not mum?" I stammered looking towards bethel who now was looking at her little brother sheepishly waiting for a kiss of life.

"They're her brothers kids, you're welcome" said lucas

"Their parents?"

"Out on anniversary date"

Just then isabella rushed inside.

Just as i turned to face lucas and his family i heard from behind me.

"You're definitely still sounding my sound"

"MY HEART MUST BE JERICO, BECAUSE THE WAY YOU SOUND MY SOUND AROUND ME MADE MY HEART FALL FOR YOU. THEY SAID THERE'S A MAN FOR EVERY WOMAN, AS GOD GAVE US POWER TO CREATE LIKE HIM, I WOULD LIKE TO RECREATE MYSELF JUST FOR YOU, SAY YES AND I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY"

Behold it was the letter i wrote isabella that faithful day it all began.

"Heyy that's my letter, you kept it" i said almost whispering as i tried to swallow the huge lump in my throat formed from tears which were dropping down my eyes.

"Queen esther" i said in tears

"my cry king i did wait cry baby, lucas and i have been in touch". Isabella said.

Wait she still had my letter?.. Is Isabella really in front of me?.. So she hasn't gone rogue as other girls entering the four walls of a uni??.. girls still believe in purity?.. so i wasn't foolish afterall?.. so she still kept the faith?.. so this is how God works??

All these questions roamed my head as i was mute not realizing isabella and i were still standing.

"Wellll..... We waited, what's next?" She said

"Ye..yes.." i replied not even listening to what she said

Just then lucas interrupted

"We owe you our all excluding our lives bro because that's God property already, for how you helped us in uni that's why..."

..."Lucassssssssssssss you've saved a life and paid more than" i interrupted.

"Wow now i believe You're definitely ready to sound the right sound" i heard from an angel namely isabella.

these words were all i ever wanted to hear.

Writing this part right now i feel the tears welling up my eyes again from memories.

Hello people, guess who's sitting beside me as i write this my story?..yeah isabella is. My wait was worth it after all.

Wellll before writing this story, i had to wait till isabella and i have 3 lovely children. So i can say to you all my lovely readers that my dreams of the night before i was stood up did come true. ;

The dream of 'finally getting married to her, going on honeymoon, buying houses, cars, touring the world with her and our 3 lovely kids'.

Purity till marriage is admirable don't allow anyone pressure you into defiling your bed before marriage.

Learn from my story, there's time for everything and every responsibility.

At this point i drop my pen i need to play princess with my daughter. I wonder which princess outfit she picked for me to wear today.

See you all in my next episode.
