They met during the auditioning
Someone wrote a play
The someone wanted to stage the play on campus
Announcements were made
He was interested in acting as a hobby
He registered for the auditioning immediately
He had been in the teens church drama team and was quite good

The auditioning took hours
He was eventually cast as a minor character in the stage play
He was to act as the father of the beautiful maiden who was the central character in the play
She had never met her before then
It was the play that brought them together
He fell in love

The weeks of practise before the drama was eventually staged gave him the room to observe her closely
Apart from her mesmerizing beauty
She was talented and interpreted the role very well
Her delivery was also top notch
They staged the play
It was a success
He started wooing her

After weeks of playing Tom and Jerry
She eventually agreed to go out with him
They were a good fit
She was studying Mass Communication
He was studying Sound Engineering
They were in the final year
The relationship grew naturally
They graduated and served
She was posted to Kaduna

He was posted to Lagos
He visited her every other month in Kaduna
They were in love
She was his soulmate
Their friends and relatives saw it
Many envied them
Their love was not ordinary
They fitted well into each other
They were both believers
They were both from the same town

Her parents loved him
His parents took her as a daughter
They finished serving
He got a job immediately with a record label
He also got a lot of jobs from churches and other organizations that needed his expertise
He was good and was in demand all over the country!
He proposed!

There was no reason to say no to him
He loved her
He had a job
She had also secured a job with a television station!
He was building his own studio in a corner of his Father's property in the city
His plan was to have his own studio where jingles and voice over jobs would be done

He was industrious, focused and talented
The future looked very bright
She said yes!
She loved him with all her heart
He was her heart desire
The engagement was formalised a few weeks later
Their parents met and a proper introduction was done
A wedding date was fixed
Bells rang

He went for a job in Akwa Ibom
Few kilometers away from Uyo, he had a motor accident and died on the spot
Those who rushed to assist at the scene of the accident saw her phone number on his dial list
They told her about the accident and his death!
Wow!
What would her fate be?

She had investedher savings with him
They put the money on the studio project
He had ordered equipment from abroad
She was about to lose everything!
She knew he had some money with him
It was a deposit made by a bank The bank gave him a contract to build an internet radio studio

for them!
She swung into action
Packed the money and other valuables
After she has secured them safely, she broke the news of the accident to his parents
His father said "No"
Death cannot take his son
His father was a man of God!
His father went to Uyo early the next morning

When his father got to Uyo he discovered his son was not dead!
The people that called her had assumed the worst at the scene of the accident
But he was only in a coma and had been resuscitated by the medical team in the hospital
His father told his mother the good news
Wow!

Superstitiously, his father told his mother not to tell anybody he was alive until they were very sure he was out of the woods
His mother kept mum
She on the other hand didn't know the developments
She returned to his flat and started packing stuff
The fridge, freezer, television

She had some of her money in those things
They had been steadily building their nest together and she didn't want to lose out!
What if his family members shared everything and she ended up empty handed?
She wanted to protect her own interest
Who would blame her for being smart?

He was discharged weeks later
He had gone through two surgeries for internal bleeding and somehow made it!
When he got to his flat, he found it empty
His babe, his love, had barely allowed him to die before stripping him naked!
It was the ultimate betrayal
How sour can love turn

By the time she knew he yet lived
It was too late
The relationship had taken his place in the grave!
She made some attempts
She even returned the money meant for the contract
But he just couldn't look her in the face
She had to move on!
One year later he married another woman!

She said he married the woman to spite her
Love should be able to forgive anything
Why should he be offended that she protected her own interest when he was no longer in the picture?

He said "I realised God used the accident to expose who she really was to me! She was a snake"
