At Midnight

It was just like a thunderstorm coming out with lightning, Deborah had to submit to the one who truly loves her after putting him in a square hole.

She wanted to see the mind of Alex and the way he behaved with people around before accepting her fate to accept his proposal.

It was a pale moment and a moment filled with happiness for Deborah who seemed just as if she won the lottery. The lottery was an understatement of her recent behavior.

Deborah always plays with her friends in the community playground. In the playground, there exists a huge tree that seems to attract the whole children as well as adults whenever it is nightfall. Children do find their ways just to play around the playground while the adults find peace and do take a breeze while under the tree.

It's a summer period where everywhere looks harsh and heat has taken over the whole surrounding. The heat inside the house is just as if someone is cooking in an oven.

Deborah told her sister "we are not made to die under the hot roof that covered us, right? Pearl answered with a light voice showing a sign of acceptance of her sister's mind "I think I have been waiting for you to say that since." How do we scold daddy and mummy just to go out there to solve the problem of this heat we are feeling? I think daddy and mummy must be having this same feeling.

"Mummy… are you not feeling the heat? Pearl asked with a calm voice.
Yes, mum…I think we should go to the community playground to get some fresh air. What do you say about it, Daddy? Deborah being the eldest asked her Dad since he was equally present.

What are you two saying? Aren't you seeing the way we are drenched with the snow of heat? We are set to go. Their mother said to the hearing of everyone.

Alex has been trying to get Deborah's attention just to make her fall in love. Deborah on the other hand has been dying just to have Alex around her. Deborah only wanted to know if Alex truly loved her and so put him on trial.

Since Alex's house was just a stone's throw from the community playground, he was always going to the playground just to take a calm and cool breeze anytime it was nightfall.

It's 8 pm and the actual time everyone would have been ready to leave their respective houses just to chill out in the community playground. Every child has been there playing.

Alex has a special place where he always relaxes as well as one of his friends just to watch the way the kids play and to remember the old days when they were still children.
Immediately he sighted Deborah, he rushed down to meet up with her. The two have one thing in common. They have the view of love and whenever they see each other, there is this kind of pulse that would send a message straight to their area of hidden love treasure.

Deborah seems to have melted ok seeing the glowing fire approaching her. They are both fair in complexion and have glowing skin which seems just like a burning fire.

Can you come to sit with me in this calm place right here? I'm there with my friend, Pius. She looked at where her parents were sitting just to observe if they were observing her. Without hesitation, she immediately followed Alex. The moon was shining so bright and it was just as if the night was daylight as everywhere was so bright.

Alex asked Deborah about his answer to his proposal, but she told him the time is not yet ripe for her to give him the answer he was expecting except if he wants an answer in a rush.
It's better to wait than get a hasty answer. Alex said to Deborah.

The atmosphere was becoming so tense and the realm of breeze and the realm of the moonlight shone just like daylight.

It's past twelve and time to go home. Deborah's mum said to Pearl. Where is your sister? She asked, turning in the direction where Deborah was seated, she sighted Deborah. She yelled at her to come over.

My mum has spoiled my day. I was supposed to stay with Alex for the next thirty minutes just to make my day more awesome. Deborah said quietly.

Goodnight and I love you!!! Deborah said unknowingly. Alex was so surprised to hear this statement from her. Deep inside him, it was a sign of acceptance of his proposal.

Without wasting time, Alex gladly replied I love you too. This was when Deborah realized that she was carried away by the presence of Alex.

It’s great that Deborah and Alex discover and declare their mutual affection under the moonlight.
