Two Years later.
Austin sat on a chair looking so dirty and rough. He sat
opposite
his brother, Williams, who bailed him out of the prison;
as
he kept looking round the house.
“God
has been really nice to you brother”
“I
thank God for you and what he has done in our family
for
the past two years. My business has witness a great
success
an here you are, a free man again. I really thank Him
for
His good works. Welcome back home my brother”
“Thank you sir” Austin replied looking sad.
“Brother,
I really want to see shantel”
“Shantel is not in the country right now. I leant her
parents
sent her off to America to study”
“No wonder” Austin exclaimed.
“brother, is there anyway for me to get her contact?
pls help me”
“Hmm. if chief Richard gets to know that you’re after
his
daughter again! I’m afraid he will kill you this time around.
so
I will suggest you let destiny decide your future with
her” Mr. Williams said.
“No, How can I go on without shantel in my life? I dont
know how to” Austin said.
“You have to. I will buy you jamb form and send you
to the village. All
you need to do now is concentrate on your studies
and
let God decide what will happen between you and her”
“Are you sending me back because of chief?”
“yes”
