Ekwu nodded at Adeola's advice. He thought about it. Marjani was his childhood friend and had always made him feel special besides the common teasing she did but Lesedi made him feel special immediately. He sighed still not knowing how he was going to choose. He looked trying to imagine both of their faces but that too backfired. He thought both were very beautiful, smart, and cute with their antics. He sighed going nack in his own corner of the universe. He knew this could very well be the hardest decision of his life.

Marjani shrugged and looked at Lesedi. "I...don't know. I mean I had a crush on him since the day we met but after my mother was exiled I drifted away from him. I mean do I love him?" She had no idea why she was telling Lesedi all of this but she knew at that moment she had someone she could identify with and get advice from. She looked at her with a sisterly respect in her eyes.
"You see my mother wanted us to be together from the day we met but she is gone now and I have to make that choice on my own. I mean I am lost."She bowed her head in the exact moment Ekwu bowed his.
