One hour later, the party’s venue was already packed to the fullest with friends and well wishers. Mr Agaba had already introduced Martha to everyone of them, he was very excited because he was celebrating three important things: reunion with his son, quick recovery and finally being able to meet his daughter.
It’s been up to an hour since Martha last saw Jayjay, she was already getting worried and worked up.
Martha: Dad, please excuse me.
Mr. Agaba: alright dear.
She left her dad’s side and went in search of Jayjay, she looked everywhere but didn’t see him, when she was almost giving up, she sighted him close to the little garden by the house, sitting alone with his jaw resting on his palm.
She went close to him and tapped him lightly on his shoulder.
Jayjay: Martha, you are here.
Martha: yes, what are you doing here, all alone.
Jayjay: nothing (standing to leave)…why are you here?
Martha: Jayjay, you can always talk to me, please.
Jayjay: am serious, there’s nothing bothering me.
Martha: then why are you sitting here alone, in that kind of posture.
Jayjay: i just came to receive fresh air here, that’s all.
Martha: why don’t you just tell me what is bothering you and we will help you resolve it.
Jayjay: if you insist…(looking down and tapping his foot on the floor) …i still can’t believe you are my sister, the more i think about it the sadder it gets.

Martha: huh?
Jayjay: it seems like am boring you, i think i will leave first.
Martha: big brother Jayjay, please stay.
He turned to face her but it was with another kind of expression, he looked like a hungry lion that was about to pounce on his prey.
Jayjay: Martha, why can’t you just understand this simple thing, I don’t want you as a sister.
Martha: but i am your sister, we cant change that.
Jayjay: a sister that i have feelings for.
Martha: huh? Jayjay.
Jayjay: don’t Jayjay me, you wanted to hear what was bothering me, now you have heard it.
Martha: Jayjay, are you sure about your feelings?
Jayjay: why won’t i be sure, why do you think i have been trying to avoid spending time alone with you?
Martha: i don’t know.

Jayjay: i dont spend time alone with you for the past few days because i don’t and can never see you as a sister, you are more than that to me, you are the woman i treasure, you are my golden jewel.

Martha: Jayjay, you need to rest.
Jayjay: i don’t need to rest, i am perfectly okay…(drawing close to her).
Martha: (she stood her ground even though one voice was telling her to run, she chose to listen to the one that was screaming stay)…Jayjay, what are you doing?
Jayjay: (holds her waist) am doing this…(he said that and put his mouth on her mouth and started kissing her)
They were like that for sometime before Martha finally came back to her senses and pushed him away and ran off.
She refused to turn back, till she got to the backyard and sat down crying.
