How Love Comes, No One Can Say

How Love Comes, No One Can Say
She was simple, lacking in worldly experience and judgment, unsophisticated when she came in contact with brother Poster at Postarado Island.
Lady Simple


Lady Watch was averagely beautiful, she has maintained her natural beauty and has not been adding so many colors to her body like other ladies in the island. She has won the heart of some men through this unique posture of hers without her knowing. Lady Watch is not too tall, her height could be called average height in the society. She has just finished the intermediate college.
Postarado island is an island of many colours, it allows for diverse of things. It calls for carefulness on the path of anyone just entering the island for the first time, because those who were not careful enough when they first got into the island fell into the hands of people with questionable characters who eventually led them through some paths they did not like. Some having gone deep in that path found it hard retrieving themselves back.
Brother Poster moved into the island immediately he finished his University having it in mind to secure a job in the island, but it was unfortunate that Poster did not secure job immediately he got into the island of Postarado. He has given up on the possibility of him securing a job within the island and has been contacting some of his siblings on how to raise a token to start some business in the island of Postarado.
Simple Lady

His siblings’ response was that he should forward the proposal of what he wants to do unto them so that they will know what they would do to assist him. In addition to him forwarding the proposal to them, they told him of the need to have more than one option of what he wants to do should in case they were unable to raise money for one, they would look at the second and possibly the third option.
He was grateful for their response and promised to get across to them as soon as possible.
The siblings of Poster are in one accord, they have always been working together, they could not withstand any of them suffering having heard of what their parents passed through in life but without assistance to make it, they decide that theirs won’t be like that, everything that it takes would be given into it to ensure that none of them wallow in poverty in this world. This they have been doing and it has been helping them.
Poster after serious thought concluded that he will like to start a cybercafé in the island of Postarado because not many people within the island are following the trend of things in the society, the new society is being driven by internet now, the students’ examinations are computer based, people will patronize this he said to himself. After making the needful inquiries into all he will require to start on a small scale level he penned down the total costs.
Lady and friends talking

After the findings on the first work he will like, he thought about the second option and what he resolved at is selling phone accessories and credit cards. He got all that would cost him to start that down and the third option and forward his thought unto his siblings.
His siblings after receiving his message deliberated on the three options and decided that they will support his ambition for the second bid, selling credit cards, phones and phone accessories. After their resolution, they told him the one they have chosen out of his options and it was the second one and that they will get back to him within 90 days.
In the meanwhile, he was advised that he should keep pressing some of those places he has applied to and keep his ears to the ground because something good could still come out of it.
Poster was happy to hear from his people and he know that either or not he secures employment he would leave the status of having nothing to do with time.
He was in this position when his brother whose phone number he used to apply for a job received a text asking him to resume work immediately at the Light Adventures. His brother knew that the text was for Poster and he forwards the text to Poster who was elated.
Poster went to Light Adventures and started working for them. He has been working in this office for about four years and has known the nitty-gritties of surviving in the Island of Postarado.
When Poster and lady Watch came across each other, their hearts’ were accelerating although unknown to individual because they were coming across each other for the first time and it was not as if they had knew each other before.
Poster having this feeling within him knows that there is something different about lady Watch, thinking what could this be. As he was thinking of her, Watch was also thinking about him, stylishly looking at him, “why is my heart racing as this?” she silently asked herself.
Watch has not been in love with anyone before this time, all she has been hearing was that love was interesting if one gets the person one wants. Her friends would say when you see the person you want, you will know him because something would happen between you, there would be some forms of attraction between you, how the attraction would come you will not know, but it will happen. If something like this happens to you, her friends would say, take note of that person very well, he is likely to be the person.
Watch has bear this in her mind for long and she has been hoping this kind of picture would happen between her and some of the male friends she has around but such never happened, she cannot but conclude she is yet to get to where she is heading for in the aspect of love.
What happened to her today perfectly fits in to what her friends have painted for her as what she will feel when she sees the person with unique features. Poster and her have never met before, and this first time of meeting all this is happening to her, she starts to think could this be him?
After their brief interaction that day, they parted with Watch promising to check back on Poster. “I would be extremely glad to welcome you back”, Poster replied.
Lady Accepts Proposal

She visited him as she said, and since then they have been friends, but managed to hide her feelings from him.
During the course of their friendship, Poster noticed that lady Watch will fall into one of the deep ditches which had been dug by the new leaderships of Posterado Island. Having been in the island for a while, experienced than her, he decided to render support unto Watch so that she won’t fall into the ditch. Watch did not ask for Poster's supports, but Poster went out of his way to offer several support in the secret and in the open to Watch all with the aim of seeing that Watch survives in the Island.
Watch abinitio thought Poster has sinister motives for rendering those assistances...it was because that was what the people of the Island usually do, Watch being brought up by a disciplinarian, was trying to avoid at all cost all that would plunge her into abyss of moral corruption, ofcourse defiling her.
She perhaps never thought any good thing could come from any man in the Island without having ulterior motives towards opposite sex, but Poster proved her wrong.
Sometimes, Watch acted funny towards Poster but Poster having determined to see that she succeeds he was not perturbed by Watch’s actions.
When lady Watch noticed that Poster has no ulterior motive towards her as she had been thinking, she relaxed herself and knew that she was safe with him anywhere and wherever. She stopped acting funny to him again. This development made their friendship to grow like a tree planted by the riverside such that people began to think they must have known themselves somewhere before then. When they told them the time they come in contact some people find it hard to believe. Someone would say of them that, “if you said the day you met was the first day ever that you came across, it must mean that the words of our fathers are correct that we sometimes know ourselves in the yamaltu world before knowing ourselves in the terrestrial world, I believe you have been known to each other there before now”, Poster’s friend enthused.
“Do you really believe in such statement?” Poster asked his friend, laughing and looking at Watch who is silently sited listening to the two friends and smiling.
“Well with the unfolding events before me, I am convinced that such is possible, I have not believed such before, but now, I believe it”, he said.
Poster and Watch’s closeness continues but nothing has happened in between them but both have been sensing that something would happen if not now in the future.
After a while, Poster got a better offer at another Island, when Watch heard of this she was sad because she has no friend and the only friend she has is about to leave her. She lost her appetite for food.
Soon enough Poster left the island to resume work at his new place, and there his feelings for Watch became strong than before. He has been warding off the feelings he had for her before but now that feeling could no longer be warded off, it is getting stronger everyday.
When he could not brush aside the feeling he decided to go to Postarado island to chat up with Watch. Watch was elated to see Poster. They talked and talked and talked until Poster broke the alabaster jar before her.
The good smell coming out of the broken alabaster jar could not be resisted by Watch.
“I love you and want us to be together for ever”, Poster said looking at Watch.
“I have been waiting for this day for long, and when you left this island I thought this day would never come again, but how mistaken am I, since the time I set my eyes on you have I had indescribable feelings for you, I know the feeling is not ordinary, but I suppressed it, at last it could not be suppressed again,” looking straight into his eyeball she said, “I love you and want us to be together ever”.
That was how they solidified the relationship and what both have been thinking of happening to them eventually come to pass. Poster left for his new base 36 hours after because he only asked for 48 hours off his duty post.
When Watch's guardian heard that she has been involved with Poster, she was not so happy with her, she did not want her to marry Poster, she had known all along that Watch’s relationship with Poster would end in something like this and she has been doing all her best to ensure that nothing like that happened in between them, but now that it has happened, something needs to be done on the issue, she said. Her guardian took another step to stop Watch from continuing with her first and only love, Poster. Thus, she informed Watch’s parents and painted Poster black such that they would dissuade their daughter from getting along with Poster. In ensuring that what they wanted to do will stand, they gave her options to choose from, introduced her to some men, but Watch said she had no feelings for them. This generated furore in the family which made Watch to flee the family, because she did not want to hear anything about any other man apart from Poster again, it is Poster or I do not get married in this world, she said to her parents before fleeing them. She went and rent an apartment for herself.
Poster is in another Island, he did not know what was on going with her, all that Watch kept telling him was that she was not finding it easy with her parents and she would have to go and get a room for herself.
Wedding

If that is what you want, Poster said, I will send a token to assist you in getting the new apartment that you want to get he said.
She got the apartment, not telling any members of her family about it and started living there….
Day in day out, when her people discovered that there is nothing they said or do that stopped her from the man, they decided to leave her to pursue her mind’s desire.
On the day of her wedding, she said, “this is the day I have been expecting all along”.
Her guardian did not contribute to the wedding because she was still unhappy with her, but Watch’s love and his siblings were there to shoulder every responsibility attached to the wedding, and everything they needed for the wedding was in excess.
