OH SANDRA

OH SANDRA

EPISODE 1

...........................................................................

Walking into my office in the early hours of

Monday 5th January 2020 was this young

man. Dark, tall, strongly built and handsome.

But one quick look at him, I noticed he was

very troubled. He looked very shaken and

nervous.

I smiled politely, offering him a chair.

good morning sir"I greeted, wondering

what was troubling

such a strong dude this early in the day.

"I guess you are Knot of scribbles?. The guy I always read

his stories online? he asked, forcing out a

smile. I nodded, smiling back.

"yes sir, but you can call me Godwin" i

replied quickly. He

breathed deeply and shrugged.

"well I'm here to tell you a story. I'm here to

pour out my heart so that you can write it

down and share it out to the world. I want

people to read my story and probably learn

from it. This is a story of love, hopes and

betrayal. his is a story that most unmarried

guys and girls out there, especially in Zambia can

relate to.

It's a story of my relationship with a young

lady called SANDRAH. A girl that sent me

crashing down with love" he said with such

a strong spirit, his eyes turning dark red as

he cleared his throat to start one of the

passionate stories I have ever heard.

My name is David Sikaonga. A native of Namwanga

, Zambia. I'm

thirty three years old and also the first son

in a family of three boys and a girl. Now

here is my story..

On 30th December 2013, my younger sister

got married to the love of her life. It was a

very happy and festive day for every

member of my family and it equally was the

day I made up my mind to do everything

necessary to get married, since God in his

infinite mercy was blessing me

tremendously.

Being the first son in a very poor family, I left

the village at a very young age to serve one

of my uncles in Mpika. I served him for five

years before I was settled with a well

stocked shop.

I was twenty five years by then and just like

I promised my father, I quickly brought my

immediate younger brother to the city and

together we worked hard to provide for our

last two siblings.

I made sure they got the education that

was denied due to poverty and God being

merciful made my business to boom so

much that in five years I had three shops in

Mpika plus two new shops in Nakonde. I

was dealing in house rugs, carpet and

electronics.

A very profitable business that swelled my

bank accounts the way I never imagined.

And with that kind of money under my

control, I began dreaming big. I planned

erecting a big house in my village and

equally planned marrying a beautiful well

educated girl, preferably a doctor, nurse or a

banker.

In order to fulfill my aim, I relocated to

Nakonde in September 2013 from where l

controlled my business empire.

I relocated to Nakonde because l felt, getting

an educated girl would be much easier in

such town than in a commercial city like

Isoka.

My hopes were totally up but unfortunately

December soon arrived without me winning

any girl. But it never brought down my spirit

because l felt good things do

take time to come.

Christmas arrived and I traveled to the

village to celebrate with my family, especially

with my sister who was getting married

that Christmas.

As the marriage ceremony went on that

fateful day, I slowly screened the crowd,

searching for a lady that would gain my

attention.

In no time, I spotted this fair beautiful

damsel.

Very tall, graceful and super hot.

She looked like a sea goddess, her smiles

very electrifying and stunning.I gazed in

Wonder at the marvelous beauty before me.

"dear Lord. I hope, she's the one. I pray she

accepts me." I prayed as I quickly made my

way to where she stood chatting with her

friend.

"excuse me, please can I have a word with

you?" I asked politely.

She threwa quick look at her friend who

nodded in approval. She smiled and drew

closer to me while her friend took some

steps back.

"my name is David, Anshell's elder brother.

The girl getting married is my sister"I

nervously introduced myself.

She smiled once again, throwing the killing

smile that attracted me to her.

"I know already. Your sister and I are in the

same school"

she replied, encouraging me with her sweet

reply.

"really!, so what's your name and what

course are you studying in the university?"I

asked breathlessly.

"my name is SANDRAH. I'm a medical

student" she quickly answered. My heart

instantly overflowed with great joy like

someone who just won a jackpot.

"she's definitely the one. She's the wife God

destined for me" I reasoned with great joy.

I was the happiest man on earth that very

moment.

I spotted you from afar and your beauty

instantly attracted me" I said softly, drawing

out another smile from sandrah. Oh you

should have seen how my entire body shook

with joy and satisfaction as I chatted with the

beautiful damsel. In my mind she was

already mine. All that was left was to

propose and get married to her as quickly as

possible. I felt like running home to my

parents, screaming that i have found a wife.

Yea that was exactly how I felt. I felt like a

virgin boy who just got his first girlfriend and

to be sincere she was the first classy girl or

should I say sophisticated girl I was chatting

up in such fashion. My head just swelled with

lots of plans.

"I really will love to have your phone number

so that we could chat up later" I finally

demanded with great hopes. She instantly

obliged, giving me her phone number which l

saved in my phone, complimented her looks

one more time before walking away with

great happiness.

"thank you God" I breathed happily.

Very early the next day, after a very restless

night filled with dreams, I called sandrah

on phone for the first time. My heart pounded

furiously as I waited for her to pick up.

"hey good morning, it's David, Anshell's

brother" I quickly greeted and soon as she

picked up the call.

"hey good morning, what's up'" she replied

lively, encouraging me with her reply.

"hope you got home on time yesterday?"

asked,

"yep she answered,

hope your people are cool?" I asked,

"yep she answered,

"so how are you going to spend the day?"I

asked,

"hmmmm, nothing much" she muttered with

slight hesitation.

"how about we meet today?" | asked. She

kept quiet for a while.

"come on say something please?" I urged,

"is it really necessary? she asked,

"yes oooo. I really will do anything to be with

you today" I chipped in. she laughed out.

"so where do you want us to meet? she

asked,

"hmmm, I actually don't know the place that

will be convenient for you since you are in the

village" I stammered.

"Kwilanzi will be great. Just pick anywhere but Kwilanzi" she added, leaving a great smile on

my face.

"okay that's cool. Let's meet in Crunches by

3pm" I said quickly.

"Crunches?. As in the fast food opposite

UCZ kitchen?" she asked innocently,

"exactly" l answered with great spirit.

By 3pm the fateful day, I was already in

Crunches restaurant, very nervous and

excited.I really was all out to impress the

beautiful girl who was such a big catch to

me.

Believe it or not, I even did a short English

practice at home in order to impress her with

my good command of the language. My

dressing that evening was equally superb. An

expensive stripped shirt, plain matching

trouser and black shoes.

My heart throbbed loudly as I nervously

waited for sandrah who showed up by

3:30pm, apologizing politely.

"i'm so sorry for being late. The bus i

boarded, broke down on the way and the

driver refused refunding us" she explained

but I never cared for the explanation. Her

presence was all I needed.

In no time l ordered for food and drinks

which we devoured gracefully. I used the

opportunity to study her more appropriately

and i was convinced with no doubt that she

had the grace, manners and air of a

sophisticated lady. The type of woman

wanted as a wife.

"so tell me about yourself?. You speak as if

you studied in England" she suddenly

demanded, leaving me a bit uncomfortable

with the question.

"actually I'm self employed" I answered

slowly, drawing out a sharp inquisitive gaze

from her.

"really!, so what exactly do you do?" she

asked curiously.

"i'm a business man. I sell electronics, rugs

and house stuffs. I have shops in Mpika

and Nakonde" l answered truthfully but I

couldn't help but notice her lively eyes drop

even though she quickly forced out a smile to

hide her true feelings.

I paid no heed to her initial reaction. I simply

was blinded with love and such a costly

mistake it was.

Each time I remember that moment, the way

she reacted when I told her my occupation, I

feel like crying because I had every

opportunity to walk away but I didn't because

I was so much in love.
