Steemit Engagement Challenge2️⃣When Love Lasts, Apollomond🌹🌹🌹🌹🥀 by @monjuapollonia
Greetings to steemworld!
It's yet another fun-filled week of engagement challenge, thanks to the #steemitblog. Literally nowadays, steemians are guided on what to write about bringing it much creativity and zeal. I'm glad to be participating in week's 2️⃣ contest and my story goes this!
I chosed the above picture because it's a picture of many words and this story is motivated with it. It's has a good relationship with the meeting point of the two protagonist in this my story because they both had a lovely place they hold of high esteem, just the two of them.Mere looking at the two love birds in this picture I could jump straight to the ending, but I know you'll have to sit, take a cocktail while you read this beautiful true love story.
Once upon a time in the city of Bamenda, one of the 1️⃣0️⃣ regions of cameroon. There lived a young boy who left his family in the village to search for greener pastures on the city. While in the city, there lived this beautiful, confident and Intelligent girl who was in college. Guess what's they're called! Just try and guessed!
Apollonia's mother had always wanted her to stop schooling and get married in fear of unwanted pregnancy and the disgrace that comes with it. Her mother had always taught school wasn't for her but for her junior brother whom she needed to support too.
She started doing odd jobs with her mom and that gave her the consolation and made her forgot about letting her get married early. He started advising her and they both become best of friends and that's her little secret how she pulled up so well to fight peer pressure.
Numerous men sorted her hand in marriage in the village while she turned then down and insisted on studying and being independent before marriage. Luckily enough, she's wasn't only very smart but hardworking and her grades often surprised her family who encouraged her to strike beyond her limits.
Apollonia lived with his elder sibling and his family while Raymond lived in his maternal home. Though they stayed in the same neighborhood,
Raymond admired Apollonia because they both lived in the same neighborhood and weren't friends!
Do you know their first meeting was in a spring where the neighborhood carried water for other house chores and buy mineral drinking water. It was just a mere communication or so she thought.Perhaps, the girl didn't realized he admired her that much. Though she didn't realized how much he loved her but they were good friends.
They had a beautiful garden not far from the spring they sat and discussed briefly when ever they met there. They didn't really realized they've fallen fondly for each other until when something happened.
Their communication ended as Raymond lost his phone and as he bought a new phone and called to let her know about the new development, he was shocked his elder brother was the one on the phone. Guess what! That was the end of their discussions.
She couldn't get to him because she didn't have his new number.
Her school was 4️⃣ kilometers from her house and most often, she trekked to and fro school.
She didn't have all her text books but yet she still passed in good grades. She knew where she was coming from and that's what pushed her to greater achievement.
Raymond's family wanted him to get married and they made arrangements for their tribe's girl. He told his family that he had someone and that he will want them to meet her.
Funny enough , he didn't know the whereabouts of her beautiful Apollonia he still felt she was going to be his wife.
Since he told his family about her he needed to come and search for long time girl friend whom he lost contact with some two years back. On reaching out to his long time girlfriend, he didn't find them In the old house they lived, apparently no one knew Raymond So no one volunteered to give him their new address. His elder brother had built his house and they moved there.
Some months later, he saw her working in an elementary school few kilometers from where he stayed and one thing let to another they got back to each other. He proposed and she agreed and on breaking the news to his family, they refused he wasn't going to marry from a different tribe.
His dad was bent on seeing that he gets married to his tribe's girl or no one else. She was fraustrated and stopped talking to him and asked him to get married to the woman of his parents choice.
Few months later, the girl who was arranged to get married to Raymond was seen pregnant and the parents knew the girls family only accepted the marriage because they wanted to force the pregnancy on Raymond.
Two things Led to another and his mother started discussing with Raymond's fiance (Apollonia) and that's how they both grew fond of each other. His family finally accepted her and they were asked to get to the hospital and get examination.
It was time for DNA test and can you believe it, their results had a mixed up and they were advised not to get married because they were both AS according to the results. They didn't know it was a mixed up.
They became confused, cried profusely and heeded to numerous advice to redo the DNA test in different hospitals.
On running another DNA test , the results came out different so they had to repeat the tests and that's how they found it they were both not (AS) and on getting back to the hospital , they realized their results were mixed up and they were good to go!.
I know you'll be wondering what happened later, offcourse they got married and lived happily after ever.
And yes! Apollomond ( Apollonia and Raymond) in that story you just read is me, @monjuapollonia and my handsome husband for 13years and we've been married for 11years.🌹♥️. Marriage they say is not a bed of roses and I'm glad till day our love still last🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹.
And for each anniversary, we love celebrating by going to that beautiful spring garden though it's now full with beautiful houses as you can see on this picture on the right.
I'm happy to be blessed with handsome boys and still holding unto this love. As they always say * marriage works only when two Willing hearts are ready to make it work*, for those still to find their soul mates, good luck and happy Married life to y'all happily married 🙏♥️🌹
