My Priceless Jewel

MPD- Chapter One

"My priceless Diamond"

Nature bestowed on her long luxuriant jet black hair that fell down almost to her high waist line. Coupled with a pair of honey-coloured pearls of attentive grey eyes that caress and unmask her both at the same time in a chequered sort of way. Her overwhelming power over the other sex, which she surprisingly was not aware of, was something out of this world. When she left her city, Roye in the stone-mixed red soil in the mountainous range that straddle Gama and Asuna zones for the prospect of a respectable means of livelihood in Azuma city; her father, had remarked that she was of those from on-high treading planet earth and carrying their fate in their eyes. Before long, another man was to see beneath her tender sweetness something unimaginable; so powerful that on contact, it surged through one threatening to sweep one off one's feet as it often does.

Now that she was twenty-one, the times appeared to zoom past as deftly as flying boats zig-zagging their ways through the waves on the river. Sometimes, Millicent or Mimi, as she was fondly called by her friends especially, by her boyfriend Jack, who loved her so passionately beyond human description, even more than the memory of his own late mother; titled her head side-ways, lost in thought of how to assist her family's poor financial state as she gazed at them. The thought of her late mother often disturbed her peace of mind. And once she enquired from her father on the cause of her mom's death.... She often got this as a reply;

"She had poured out the residue of her motherly strength to push out into the world and life from her protruding belly before giving up the ghost just an hour later with her palms put together as though in perpetual supplication". That had been a sad period with tombs springing up like poisonous mushrooms dotting the landscape. The Lasa Fever epidemic had taken a huge toll on the population of Roye-city boosting the coffin trade, which your mother fell victim of.. ''The cause of her death was as a result of my financial incapacitated state. I could not save your mother..... I'm very sorry for failing you and your brother" Her father said sadly on tears.

"Rest in peace my best mum,' she always feel guilty for her death.... The both cried bitterly and embarrassed each other in comfort...Even in their silence, they were disturbed as these memories could mean nothing but sadness.....

As usual , Mimi gone out to meet Jack her boyfriend, who just returned from Azuma-city two days ago, after a very long time he left Roye city with no means of communication till now.

"So this is you? Mimi asked with a displeasant gesture.... Quickly, Jack tried everything humanly possible to exonerate himself...

" My love is not what you think! But please I'm very, very sorry for stressing your emotions towards me. I felt hell without hearing your voice, your tender touches, smiles.....is a long story. I was scammed and bankrupted that I had to start life from zero-level. I sold all my valuable property and started a new life from the scratch. All means of communication were shot-down due to my incapacitated state as at then, simply because, I was robbed of all my assets by fraudster in an online business......... "I felt like dying, countlessly. Reckoned! I won't last much longer in your absence. Uncontrollably tears often forced out of my eyes, down my cheeks in thought of a sweet Angel wonderfully put together with a near-olive skin that made you the cinosseur of all eyes; just like the Rose among flowers." Jack said gloomily. Jack thought she was the prettiest creature that walked the earth. To him, for her to be born into this world, heaven must be missing an angel.
