Chapter three

"Remember this day!" She said, "Because it is the day you have made me the happiest person on earth !"

These were her words as she placed a medal on my neck, gave me my certificate and said go and be victorious in law.

I had just been graduated after studying Human Rights and Child Abuse Law in college.

Today, millions stood up looking at me as I had become a practitioner in Human Right and Child Abuse law.

I remember when I first stepped into college, it was really difficult for me to choose an area of study in law.

But thanks to her help, today I'm standing before millions with my head held up high.

She then held my hand and melted me in her embrace as tears of joy run down her cheeks.

She was the senior lecturer, Goodie Richlove.

Everyone used to be scared of her in college because they said she was too strict but I found her cool since she used to be my facilitator in Crystal Hills High School and today, I am completing Crystal Hills College with my mentor by my side.

Aunt Goodie as I normally called her, used to escort me to prison to visit my mum since she knew what was going on.

In my mum's absence, she was always there and until today, she has become one of the most important people in my life.

The only difference is that I have grown to being a lady instead of a normal cry baby thanks to her by my side.

"You should be blessed to have two mothers by your side!" She said as her gaze fell on my mum who was approaching closely.

They both met in an embrace and "I'm happy to see you safe and sound" were the only words they could say to each other.

They were both friends in college and after a long while of not seeing each other, I guess this was the only opportunity they could get to recollect lost times.

I could sense their long lost memories coming into play. The atmosphere was suddenly filled with emotions and I couldn't help it but cry .

"Was today my graduation , or a farewell ceremony?"

I thought as tears run down my cheeks.

"Hi!"

He said, I turned around and found him standing behind me.

I quickly wiped off my tears and gave him a daisy smile .

Each time I set my eyes on Clinton Brown, I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of joy run down my spine.

Clinton Brown was my class mate during high school . He also studied law in the same college as mine but he was more into Criminal law as I was to Human Right and Child Abuse law; so we didn't have any personal encounter with each other.

Because of his stunning looks, he was always admired by the girls in college.

His dark brown hair running down his shoulders, his daizy eyes and beautifully sinful face which got all the girls amused while in college was no doubt exceptional.

No doubt, he was really handsome especially with all his biceps and triceps, not forgetting his broad chest while he stood at six centimetres tall.

Every girl wanted to date him because apart from his physical looks and appearances, he belonged to a first class society family with his father being the sole owner of CLINTON AND ASSOCIATES LAW FIRM with a number of smaller enterprises.

"Are you alright?"He asked scanning my body as I did same. In the nut shell , I was really surprised that he approached me because I knew I wasn't a girl of his social class or standards. He only spoke and hanged around with people of his social standards in college. Because of his wealth, he was always given an executive treatment by everyone in college.

Wealthy men would always want their children to hang out with a person of their social class which I knew clearly that I wouldn't match up to his standards and besides,

I grew up in a middle class family .I thought as I questioned myself.

Once again, I gave him a charming smile as I said" yes, I'm alright "in a shy tone .

For starters, I was known to be a total extrovert but for the first time in my life, I felt shy while looking directly into his gaze.

"Congratulations !" He said as he chuckled and a gave a sigh, getting more closer to me.

"Congratulations to you too !" as I said once again, in a shy tone.

As he got closer, my heart began to beat faster.

"Relax! " He said breaking the silence between us.

I didn't know about what was going on through my mind but his presence around me, made me feel as if we were bonded by a strong force of attachment as I inhaled his sweet spicy rose scent.

He placed his hand in his pocket and gave me his contact card saying "you may need it!"

Without a word or any reasonable explanation, he sat in his car and drove off leaving me in a dilemma.

"What nerves! "I thought as I made my way to sit in the cab.

This is how far the Lord has brought us.
