❤THE TURN AROUND 16❤ (Semi-Final)
After everything, David and uncle Tim sat down together and spoke at lent about a lot which had happened since the past 6 months. David asked him how the company has been, and the salaries of his staffs. “Everything is under control” Uncle Tim assured him. “They’ll be so happy when they hear that their boss is back” he laughed. “They sure will” David chuckled.
“so, the lady u came with, where’s she from?” uncle Tim asked. “oh, Sandra? Uncle it’s a long story, but I’ll explain.” David narrated everything to him. “Uncle I really love her. I’ve tested her so many times and she passed. She’s kind hearted, homely, loving and she cares unconditionally despite all odds. She’s not like other women who are after my money alone. She’s just the kind of lady I want to make my wife but I’ve not told her yet. she’s been through alot, and I don’t want to rush her” David said finally. “hmmm… You’ve said a lot Dave, I’ve never seen you talk about a woman like this b4. My son is in love.” he laughed slightly and sipped his drink. “David, if u love her, go for it. I know u, and ur decisions are good once, so whatever u choose to take, I’m solidly behind u.” he assured David.
Sandra was treated like a queen in David’s house, whatever she needed was provided before she even mention some. She related well with Rose & Ruth and they liked her and didn’t let her do anything even when she tried to assist. “this feels like heaven on earth.” she thought to herself. “just yesterday I was thinking of dying but right now I want to live longer”. she smiled, lost in her thoughts. Just then David came in “hey dear, how are u today” He said. “much better than b4.” she smiled. “the girls won’t let me do anything. I think they are spoiling me too much” she laughed.
“that’s what they are meant to do. You’re an Angel and I would do more for u Sandra.” he said as he drew nearer to her, looking into her eyes. “stop flattering me David” she laughed a bit. “There’s something I need to tell u, but I don’t know how u are going to take it…. Sandra I’ve deeply falling in love with u.” he said “David I’m sorry but this is too much for me, I’m not worth it. I can’t do this.” she replied as tears gathered her eyes. “You’re worth even more Sandra, I don’t care abt ur past. All i want is u. Nothing except u make sense to me right now. he said. She starred at him sheepishly. “I.. can’t… this is…” David put his index finger on her mouth to stop her from talking. Tears fell from her eyes and he wiped it with his hands. “Sandra i understand u, you’re traumatised, you’re afraid of been hurt again, but no! I’m not Bright and I’ll never be him. I’ll be the last person that would want to see u cry.” he says, as he touched her cheek with his hands, wiping off the tear which fell from her eyes.
“I know you’ve been through a lot lately so I’m not going to force u into this”. He said to her and gently kissed her. She stopped the romantic moment and walked away.
Later that day, Sandra got bored and went to stay around Ruth and Rose. “aunty Sandra, uncle David is a good man I think u should give him a chance” Ruth said “what are u guys talking about?” Sandra asked “We saw everything. It was something we’ve never seen him do b4. We’ve never seen him so happy with a lady like this b4. He really loves u.” Rose added. “yes. and I know u love him too cos I’ve seen u looking at his photos and admiring them severely” Ruth chuckled. “i wouldn’t want to admit this but I’m already in love with David too, but I’m just been afraid” Sandra thought to herself.
“u guys should stop this pls, let’s change this topic” she laughed. Just as they were all laughing David walked in with something in his hands. Ruth and Rose welcomed him and excused them both. He smiled and moved towards Sandra “U look beautiful whenever u smile.” He flattered her. “This is for u, I know it will look beautiful on u, so I want u to wear it for my upcoming party. Plsssss” he said. It was a shiny red dress. “It’s beautiful indeed. Thank you” Sandra smiled back after she had opened it
