Nkechi's Beauty

The first time you saw Nkechi, you knew she is the kind of woman you would love. You loved everything about her - Her natural black hair, her grey eyes, still firm breasts and her straight legs too. She has a mojo, and it is her beauty.

You have always had a crush on her but you couldn't dare tell her. Her beauty baffles you. Each time Nkechi passes by you go into hiding. For this reason your friends would call you 'mbe' which means coward.

You were sitting under the orange tree by evening with your friends when Nkechi suddenly appears from afar. You saw her and fear embraced you.
Your friends mocked you, "ujo!" They exclaimed. You decided to prove them wrong. "I will tell Nkechi I love her today" you boasted. "Coward" they called you even louder.

You stood on your feet and walked towards Nkechi.

You are now standing before her, with your lips trembling and your mouth wanting saliva. You are sweating profusely, and you doubted if you ever had the quantity of courage needed to stand before her.

"I love you, Nkechi!" You finally said aloud. But it seems you talked too loud. A strong hand touched your right shoulder, calling your attention. You turned back, and behold it was 'onye buru ibu', the slayer. You melted at his sight.

"What do you want with my girl?" He questioned you angrily. You lost words.
"He came here to woo me." Nkechi had replied before you could even think of what to say.

You looked back under the tree and all your friends are gone.

You know what will happen next.
