Five years later

Dave POV

( In his office )

I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in” I said and faith entered.

“Sir, here is the the file you asked for” he said and put it on my desk.

“How is the park construction going?” I asked.

“It is going perfectly,” he said.

“Ok, I will be going there tomorrow” I said.

“Yes sir” he said.

“What about the investigation, how is it going?” I asked.

“It been five years already, can’t you just forget about her and move on” he said.

“I guess you have nothing, you can leave” I said.

He sighed and left.

It been five years since Debbie left, life has been hell without her but instead of showing my pain. I hide my pain with alcohol and drugs.

My parent have tried matching me up with different girls but no girl can replace Debbie in my heart. My urge for her grows everyday, the desire to have her in my arms, cuddle her, to kiss her lips make love to her. I miss her, her lips, her smell, everything about her.

But I am also angry at her, for what reason did she leave? It makes my heart ache so much.

Five years without her, hurt like hell.

I heard a knock on my door again.

“Come in” I said and mary the girl my parent planned to get me married to entered.

“What do you want?” I asked.

“To see you babe” she said.

“I told you I don’t want to see at my place of work” I said with a frown.

“Come on dear, I love you, why you are being like this. Your sister told me what you like” She said and removed her jacket leaving her in her underwear. She came to me and sat on my laps.

“I was told you like this” she said shaking her water-melons.

If it was five years ago, I would have her but not anymore. All I desire for is Debbie.

“Get out of my office!” I roared at her and she ran out after picking her jacket.

(Somewhere in Ibadan Oyo State)

A lady was shown with a boy about five, dressing him to go out.

“Wow, my son looks good” she said smiling

“Mom, are you not done?” Her son asked.

“Blessing is waiting for me” he said.

“Shut up Alex, I have to make sure my son dress good” she said playfully.

“Just be fast” he said.

“Am done,” she said and kissed his forehead.

“Be careful and don’t play too much, make sure to stay next to Blessing’s mom” she said.

“Can I go now” he said rudely.

“Ok” she answered him and he ran out.

His mom also followed him, he was standing next to his friend blessing.

“Please look after him” she said.

“Yes” Blessing’s mom said and they left.

“Good afternoon, Debbie” an old woman said

“Afternoon grandma” she said smiling and entered her house.

It’s been five years already, sometimes I regret leaving because I missed him but having Alex with me makes me so happy.

It feels like my sorrow was replaced with happiness.

Just like his dad, he is smart and handsome. He is the only reason I live, and I will forever love him.

I work as a teacher in a high school, I live another life here.

My son is my happiness.

A few hours later

“Blessing’s mom came back but I couldn’t see Alex, where is Alex?” I asked

“I don’t know what happened but I couldn’t find Alex” she said

“What?!”

Dave POV

“You are welcome sir” the manager in charge of the park said.

“Yes” I said.

“So how is it going?” I asked.

“Just as you instructed, we opened the park for free today” he said.

“Ok” I said walking around the park.

“It must be a long journey, from Lagos to here” he said.

“Not really,” I said.

“Ok sir” he said respectfully.

Suddenly we heard a child crying from a corner.

We went there, and saw a boy crying.

I felt attracted to him, “why are you crying?” I asked and bent down to face him.

“I can’t find blessing” he said cutely, crying more.

His face remind me of someone, just don’t know who.

“It is ok, I will take you to blessing” I said

“Really?” he asked and wiped away his tears.

“Yes” I said and carried him.

“Mom said I shouldn’t talk to strangers because they are bad but you seem different” he said while everyone laughed

“You are smart” I said.

“Mind telling me your name?” I asked.

“Since you will help me find blessing, I will tell you” he said.

“My name is Alexander, but my friends called me Alex” he said and smiled cutely.

“Alex” I said and smiled back.
