IN THE HEART OF LOVE

It's 8am, the roosters are crowing, the sun is rising Julia was in a very good mood because it was a peaceful night, like every night. She then decides to go get some wood for today's kitchen.

“Mom” had called her with a big smile.

"Yes my daughter." She replies looking at her.

“I'm going to get some wood,” she said.

"Okay my daughter, otherwise don't last too long there" her mother told her so cautiously.

"Don't worry mum," Julia said, sneaking up on her feet.

Julia is a very beautiful young girl, with green gray eyes and dark black hair, living with her mother in a small village not far from the city of Yaoundé (Obala). Since the death of her dad, her mother has always taken care of her despite it not being easy, not only nice but very sociable!

However, she takes the road to the fields and begins to look for wood, so concentrated in her research that she does not even notice the presence of Frank who suddenly arrives behind her and holds her by the hips.

"Hello my queen." he said happily, turning his back.

“Oh! Frank you scared me,” Julia said terrified.

FRANK is her boyfriend, they met at a reception organized in the village and it was at this moment that the two fell in love that they did not waste time to give each other a chance …. But it is not a public relationship, because the family of the two is not aware of anything, but the two have set the rules and when the time comes will make this relationship public.

"What are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

"You shouldn't ask me that question honey, aren't you happy to see me?" Frank asked looking at her.

She drops the machete, and gazes at her man's cheeks giving him a little kiss on it.

"I'm very happy, but I'm a little surprised, how did you know I was here??? Also so soon” she asked, very surprised.

"I don't know, I just had the feeling that you're here," she told him, shrugging her shoulders.

“Oh! You please leave me I'll try to get some firewood for my mum! Julia exclaimed smiling.

"Wait, I'll help you," he said, bending down to pick up some wood from the ground.

Frank gave her a hand so she could get as much wood as possible. As soon as they finished, they were already on their way home, but Frank offered to carry him home.

" Thanks a lot." she thanks Frank for his help before heading home.

"Ok baby, tell me see you tonight at our place." he asks smiling

"Uh, I don't know" replies Julia, hesitantly because she had no idea of ​​her program.

"baby please." while insisting

"Okay, but from 7 p.m. it's better." ' she said with a cheeky little smile.

" No problem ." Frank said, making eyes at her.

Minutes after they arrive home, Julia's mom was out there cleaning up the yard.

“Oh! My daughter, you are back, I admit that you really did not last. her mother said, clapping her hands.

"Yes mom" says Julia while smiling.

" Hello Mom." Frank who speaks to Julia's mother.

Her mother remained silent for a few minutes, looking her up and down to see if she knew him somewhere.

“Hello my son, my daughter who is this” without further ado, asked his mother.

The two start looking at each other, not knowing what to answer but Julia immediately had an idea.

"Mom, he's a great friend." Julia asserted, scratching her hair.

“A great friend?? You never spoke to me about him» all curious, her mother wonders.

“Oh! You too mom do you have to know all my friends??? It's just that he had never been here so” she told him, smiling.

"Welcome my son, and thank you for rescuing my daughter, it's very kind" while holding his hand to squeeze it against Frank's.

"It's nothing mum it's normal."

"Hey mom, I'm going to accompany him"

Julia takes Frank and accompanies him to a certain level of the road But before leaving, Frank whistled him in the ears

"See you tonight, I'll be expecting you at 7 p.m. sharp" said so hastily.

Julia smiled and told him she was okay. After that, she rushed to join her mom who was starting to make the vegetables for the cooking earlier.

“Hmmm my daughter.” she did not refrain from displaying a suspicious expression

"What mom? What's the matter? Julia asks with a curious face.

"No nothing my dear daughter, I just hope that young man is not your..." she asks him with a dubious air.

"No mom don't start, tell me what are you preparing for us today?" Julia asks.

“We are going to make vegetable sauce and foufou.” her mother said.

“Yum yum… I love it, especially when you put bushmeat in it.” smiling, replied Julia.

"No no today no bushmeat, just smoked fish!" his mother expressed as she cut the vegetables.

“I like bushmeat a lot more.” she said sulking.

“Stop with the whims, already start taking things for the kitchen” she told Julia in an authoritative voice.

Julia immediately executed and went to get the kitchen equipment. They started cooking with so much love and peace.
