NEW FAITH

Slowly,he woke up from his bed feeling pains in his head,he stared at his room as if searching for something; he tried to adjust to the light coming from the bulb in his room. His hands were shaking,he is cold!! "Oh God,not again!! He groaned as he slowly came out of his big bed, he adjusted his pyjamas and walked slowly into the bathroom.

He washed his face in the sink and cleaned it with the white towel hung across the towel rack. He came out of the bathroom and sat on the chair opposite the mirror. One look,he needed not be told what he was in for. Usually when he starts feeling the pains,he would sit on his bed and cry his heart out but not today.

"I will surely survive this" he muttered. But how? He can't say for now. He brought out his pills from the drawer,reached for a bottle of water inside the fridge then swallowed it.

Maybe his mother was right afterall,he needs a woman who would take care of him,who would love him unconditionally,a woman that would stay with him through thick and thin. He sighed as his thoughts enveloped him and he went back to sleep.

........................

"Dear should I set the table,your food is ready" Angelina called out to her husband. "No,honey!". Donald replied his wife. It has being two years since he took the decision to marry,he was however grateful to his mother who helped him through the search for a wife.

He remembered vividly the ordeal he went through before he eventually met Angelina "his heartrob".

"Laura,you can't leave me like just like this, not in this condition. Please my love", Donald knelt down before Laura his girlfriend. "Look here young man,I see no reason why you are begging. Yes!! You are brilliant,handsome,wealthy but I can't cope with your health. I don't want to be a widow soon,I am still young!! She fired back at Donald and stormed out of his sitting room.

Donald watched as Laura walked out of his apartment,he felt his world coming to an end. He felt terrible,this is the fourth lady rejecting him because of his health issues. He cried like a baby. He is extremely rich, handsome, intelligent,he has every good quality a lady desired to have in her man."What else?" He shouted.

No lady would stay after knowing his health status,he felt lonely. He felt dejected. He has several properties both home and abroad that was bequeathed to him by his parents being the only child. He enjoyed everything in life but not his health. "Obviously,I can't find a real woman who would truely love me" he said amidst tears.

It was few months later that God answered his prayers,when his mother introduced him to Angelina. "Nothing good is coming out of this,I know. There is no true love again,none at all. Maybe today or tomorrow,I"ll die" he said to himself and for the few months they first knew each othet,he never put too much emotions into the relationship.

Angelina proved him wrong,she was and is still the best thing that ever happened to him. Humble, caring, loving and very down to heart. She is his new hope, his new faith, and everything he ever hoped for. She loved him even with his constant pains,she never neglected him and would always say,

"The worst sickness are those which cannot be diagnosed,their effects are seen,their symptoms are glaring, but no physician has a cure for them not because they can't define what exactly the cause is,only the sufferer knows the cause. You will surely live by God's grace".

Without being told,she was his new faith and means everything to him. Maybe he would survive the sickness he couldn't say but he"ll surely love Angelina till death. "Tomorrow will surely be better" He said as he walked to the dining to eat.
