It was morning and the sun was up already, the birds chirping like the colony of ants hunting for a meal, their voices like that of Ayamma the beautiful maiden whose voice produce sweet Melody and softens the heart! When she heard a thud from the room next door.

Isn’t it too early to be screaming like the lightening of the gods? Ada questioned picking up the lampstand lying on the ground right beside the cushion.

How is that any of your business? He asked siting on the bed, the bed feels like soft cotton, the sheets are well dressed and neatly made. He took a glance at the frame on the table and chuckled with tears streaming down his cheeks.

C’mon for how long will you be like this? Stop this already I said touching his shoulders, that was the first time I touched him, his shoulders were built, his arms were strong, his hair dreaded, he has a cute face and a beautiful smile that gives away his white teeth. I was lost in the moment, all I wanted was to be was in his Arms and be there forever.

I’m going to consult the gods of IGBUDU he muttered still looking at the frame on the table.

‘The gods that keeps disappointing you right?!’  I snapped immediately.

He stood up and walked towards me, I could feel the butterfly in my tummy, the sun stood still and I was shaking, he held me and stared deep into my eyes, that was when I noticed he had brown soulful eyes. I was smiling and it seemed the world stood at attention. This had always being my heart desires, to be in his arms and to be there forever.

Ada I love you and will always love you. you’ve been with me through thick and thin. I bless the day I found you for you are my missing piece……

Ada…….Ada……

What’s wrong? She asked

Do you know how long I’ve been calling your name? Ella asked

That was when she realized that she has been sitting in front of the mirror for awhile. It turned out that.

It was all an ILLUSION.
