DELIGHT AND LOVE

It’s been 2 months now since I met Nyambura, so much about her was exclusive before I even had a chance to know her. Recently, she told me that she wants to share my name but I’m still honestly afraid to meet her mother. I mean, I know it’s been only 8 weeks, but maybe you should know exactly why it’s due that much. I haven’t felt this way before, being a guy who’s known many women, well none comes close to her. Some years I forget my birthdate and have me reminded by my socials, but recently, almost every occasion with her plays repeat as if on actual happening. (Well I sure don’t have a word to describe that).

On this one Thursday, she had a chat with me about her past experiences in the search of love or a man she could submit to. I was always impressed by her choice of words. Being a girl I really admired, most of what she talked about this two guys really aligned with my intentions till she mentioned about the third to whom she had so much fallen in love with. That really got me so off the hook; I could clearly tell that I was just on my last kicks as a town donkey.


“I doubt I’m ever to find a man like he is. I sure have learnt to love him so much and never have I felt deficiency of his too. I know you can tell I’m happy at least if not ever joyous! You should meet him tomorrow; I know he would so much love to see you!” (I know you already can tell exactly how that felt). Well it’s okay to tell me how you aren’t aligning with my intentions, but really, meeting him? But I agreed to do that, simply because it was at my favorite dinner place.

I drove to Laico Regency, by 5.30pm I was already sited at my table. Almost Immediately, I saw her coming towards my table smiling; dressed so glorious. I must admit a lot ran through the’ not so sane part of my mind’.” I wish this guy doesn’t show up this time again”, I whispered.” Was just about to order for my coffee before you arrived” oh! Come, let’s meet him first then we shall have a good dinner later. Shall we? So we moved to the lift and went up to the third floor, I always loved this pool. A lot was playing in my mind if really I have met this man I’m just about to.


Jealousy flattened, ill thinking cut short, intentions rejuvenated and I was just in amaze! Before my eyes was a replica of Jesus. A man whose complexion was glorious, his presence had a breeze alongside it, his touch so peaceful, I fell to my knees to behold of his glorious presence. Just by an instant my spirit was raised, love sparks flash like lightening all through my skin and joyful tears I couldn’t hold. I too; had found a man I was deeply in love with. When he spoke, love and honor just flow from him so smoothly; I feel it even as I type this. I knew I’d met my father and he sure was the best I could ever desire!

Meeting him was just so awesome but getting to know him turned out the best thing. I remember his last words to both of us just before he left,” That which you love about me and desire of me is a true representation of Jesus! And since you both have delighted and have so much love for me, may he give you of your hearts desires! Glory to God! He bid us goodbye and left. As he walked away, I could feel his peace remain with me, and always has till today.


As we had dinner at the hotels lounge, I just felt too much love flowing from within me; I have never felt this way before. My intentions for her were already genuine and we spoke of the truth we had. We connected so flawlessly, more than we had before. Even the roasted chicken was so delicious, like every spice hit the right spot on my tongue. So here she was telling me about her family, her growing up and exactly who she was, and alas! I was dining with a tycoon’s only daughter. Immediately I was taken back to our first acquaintance, and I remembered her reply, “Hi, I’m Nyambura, just waiting on a guy who seemingly bailed out on me. I’m so pissed off he switched off his phone already!”
I put on a smile and she asked” Why are you so smiley?” ” Just remembered you still have my African heart blazer.” Oh! , and that evening… was when she got her equations answer ; African HEART! .
