Episode 64................ Jane heaved a sigh of relief as she returned to her seat,the programme was an interesting one,the Mc was good as he made everyone smile. Jacob had also been invited,Jane tried not to access him but she found herself,doing that.He looked handsome in his suit,his face was fresh but Jane still noticed the slight pain that was written on it.The way he smiled at ease and walked with the strides of an intelligent man. Soon,Funmi was called to cut her fiftieth birthday,with smiles her husband was called to join her amidst claps and cheers from the guest.The couple cut the cake,Jacob also cut his cake,marking his twenty eight birthday,as he brought down the knife,his eyes searched for the one person that mattered most. After cutting the cake,the Mc gave the mic to Jacob,and he made a short speech,and also gave the vote of thanks. The party would never be complete,if he didnt apologise to Jane. At this hour,ild like to say some choice words. In life,i have learnt that,to err is human and to forgive is divine.And at this time of my value,i have realised that,people have value,and some have more value than the others. He paused to catch his breath.He walked down from the stage and began to move around the guest.Searching for that valuable person.He smiled as his face caught hers. He moved towards her table,as he moved,the various camera lights trained on him,she looked beautiful as always. There is no perfect man,and i am not an exception,i want to apologise to you,for everything i have done to wrong you.I am sorry to have caused you so much pain. he looked at her again,as her expression was not readable.She sure was not expecting this. Please forgive me dear,i have never stopped loving you,and i will always love you,if you give me a chance.If you will look past my wrongdoings.........Oyindunmade will you marrry me? Jacob went on one knee,he brought out his treasure box,a jet black ring box,he opened it to reveal a white gold ring. Jane gasped for breath,she couldnt believe her ears,the camera were trained on her faces,and the expressions on her face was captioned,the shock,the joy,the pain,the excitement and the tears that threatened to spill any moment. Funmi and Biola looked at each other,their faces crest in worry and anxiety. Jackie stood up too,and watched in awe. Hannah and Detoun giggled like two lovely children. Jane was speechless,as she rose from her seat,her peach louis vuitton dress looked beautiful against her chocolate skin.The dress hugged her body tightly,the back was sheerlace down to her waist,as she looked at him,the swell of her bosom heaved. Jane was mesmerised,as she could not hold the mic,the Mc held the mic to her mouth,but she had gone dumb,she looked up,and her lashes flashed in bright excitement. I.....I.......I....... she was out of breath,he had called her Oyindunmade,how did he come to know her by that name?she concentrated on the man kneeling by her seat,fixing her gaze intently on him,she spoke. Yes....Yes....Yes ill will. she said,as a stubborn tear escaped her eye. Jacob put the ring on her third finger,it is a14 solitaire diamond surrounding a 12-carat oval blue clayon sappphire set brushed in 18 karat white gold and valued at £500,000. The crowd that had been holding their breath,screamed in delight,everyone cheered the newly engaged couple. Putting her hand in his his,he kissed her fingers,before walking her onto the stage. The artist began to sing,while Jane began to cry. ................... Jane held the morning paper in her hands,she leafed from page to page,she saw herself smiling shyly as Jacob proposed to her. She had been surprised when he began his apology,and when he finally proposed,she was stunned. When she had lost hope,she had been planning on starting from the scratch.She thought Jacobs chapter of her life was finally closed. Her dreams were gradually becoming a reality,she was engaged to one of the most eligible bachelor in the country,she would soon be addressed as Mrs J,Smith,she smiled to herself in the mirror.Jacob had showed her love and she had forgiven him. She went to her mother,to show her the paper. Biola was the happiest woman on earth,she and Kenneth had just concluded on a date for their wedding programme,its to be a small party of families alone,and here again,her first daughter had just been proposed to by her friends son,what happiness filled her soul. Funmi had gone pale,when Jane didnt say a word,and when she finally said yes,funmi embraced her happily. Detoun soon joined them,grabbing the paper from Biola. Wow,this is so lovely,and.... she ran to get Hannah. Oh my God,Jane you look so beautiful and fragile here.Hannah smiled. Hmm,we have a confession.She said as she and Detoun fell to their kneels. We are all ears. Jane said. Actually,we have been seeing Jacob,while you were still boiling over him.Detoun explained. You little rats.Jane pretended to be angry. Anyway,i forgive you girls,it was all for my own good.Jane smiled. Biola lifted her face to the sky,in gratitude to God for his mercy so far. Im so happy and i wish my husband was here.Biola said,as a tear stung the side of her left eye. We all miss father,but everything happens for a purpose.Hannah said. Yes,we love him,but God loves him best.Jane consoled her mother. Thank you,my little pumpkins.Biola smiled. Ill soon become a married woman,so the earlier you stop calling me a pumpkin,the better.Jane laughed. Detoun and Hannah left to finish up their packing,as they were both leaving for school.The girls hadnt known they were attending the same university,they were very excited when they found out. Jane made to leave, Come sweetheart,lets have a mother to daughter talk.Biola said as Jane sat beside her on the bed. To be continue....
