My Messiah :Love in Damascus - Episode 21

 

It's been more than two month since I had reconcile with the brainies. I had told them my initial plan to get Sasha and I also told them me joining their group again won't stop my plans on getting her.

I also told them it wasn't possible for someone to pass through the university without having a girlfriend but I could see that Morris was ready to prove me wrong and I didn't care.

We were already in our fourth year, even though my previous years had been so full of drama's, it was fun though. Sasha hadn't told me how she felt about me but we both behave like couples . Everyone in my compound knew her for she was so sociable. I had began to do what I hated the most, taking care of the house. She had taught me the main dishes except for the pasta I was so good at cooking. I could also see changes in my life. When I told her the amount I was collecting every month as pocket money, she was so shocked.

"That's too much!" She had exclaimed "you cant spend it finish in two months" she added

Well, that money wasn't too much for someone like me. I was born in wealth and as the only son, I was also taught how to spend in wealth. When I was dating Melissa, the money wasn't even enough but I discovered something different this few month I have spent with her

. I don't spend recklessly anymore, my pocket money had become more than enough. She was a perfect girl at least the one my life needs at the moment. 

She would account for my day to day spending, it was kind of weird at first but I ended up liking it. I had told my parents to cut my pocket money into two and that was awesome for I was still able to live comfortably. She had told me the amount her parents always give her when school resumes and after that money, she doesn't bother them. I was so amazed at that, but I kept wondering how she survived all through a semester. 

Most times she eats just a square meal and sometimes she doesn't eat at all claiming she is fasting. She had lived her life the rugged way up to this moment but I was so determined to change that. She won't lack anything again cause she had already suffer a lot.

Sasha and I had become More intimate, we were really into each other. The only problem I faced was the fact that she hadn't acknowledged my love. All I want was for her to admit my love and also confess her feelings to me. Even though we behave like a couple, some of our course mates had called me her boyfriend which she rejected instantly. I don't know why but I just don't understand her.

So one day I took her to the place I found some months ago, a place I hadn't got the chance to take her. It was the Trevor's garden but I tagged it MYSTERY LOVE GARDEN. I had called old Trevor the previous night , I told him I was coming with Sasha the next morning. I had also called Sasha informing her we were going out, she had asked series question which I didn't answer, I wanted it to be a surprise so I put her in suspense.

I picked her up at her place at nine in the morning. I had also payed some people to decorate the garden for me and also prepare a delicious meal, for that was where we would have our breakfast.

When we got there, old Trevor welcomed the two of us. His shinning brown teeth never stops glittering.

"Is this the angel?" He asked and fixed me a wink

I could see that Sasha was baffled. I could read her mind it was like 'what are we doing here?', 'who is this old man?', 'what is all this?'

"Don't be baffled, all is well" I said and I held her hand and took her to the garden. I clicked my finger and the band began to play the guitar.

. I could see astonishment in her eye. I moved her to the table and chair at the center of the garden. I pulled a chair out for her to sit. She sat like a princess on the chair and I went to my seat.

"Joseph, what is all this?" She asked

I merely smiled and used my spoon to beat the champagne fluke to signalled the Cook. She pulled in a trolley and served us. She dished us fried rice with chicken, and also filled my cup with some fruit wine.

"Joseph, you haven't answered me" she said "what is all this about?"

"Don't be scared. I just thought of us having breakfast outdoor" I said

"Well it is good but how much did you waste on all this?" She asked

I rested on the chair and looked at her. She isn't the spending type but one has to spend sometimes and spending on a breakfast with her ain't a waste. I won't mind spending all of my money 

"The money was just a token" I said simply

She looked at me sternly "you have gone to your parent for money again" she said

"Well I had but if I hadn't, I won't have been able to organize this"

"But this wasn't necessary" she protested

I wasn't liking the turn out of event. I wasn't in for this kind of conversation, I had planned a perfect atmosphere not something like this.

"Let's stop talking about the amount I spent" I said softly "I had planned this little event just for the two of us to be together. So let's stop talking and eat"
