Johana and Dany met in the park one Saturday. Dany was heading out of town whereas Johana just arrived on vacation. As Dany lonely sat in the bus waiting to depart, he ceaselessly beautified the environment with his charming glance as though he was hiding from a crime. His successive glance of eyes met the path of an extremely beautiful lady.

At that point, Dany cared not about his pursuer and plunged in the lady's path but quite in a respectful manner.
" Hello beautiful lady" eye contact was unavoidable
" H...i " she stumbled in her word, probably lost in his beauty
" I am Dany. Can I know your name? " he smiled
" I am called Johana"
" O! what a beautiful name. Do you mind having dinner. We can have a seat just behind you" pointing. Johana followed him as though her wish was granted.

She was dark in complexion, moderate height, bright eyes, skinny fingers, small red lips; well polished and an extremely well formed buttocks and breast.
Dany in the contrary was a beefy man with seductive eyes and fair in complexion.

He didn't hesitate to offer her a seat. Both recommended sweet drinks
" I am leaving the town and from all indications, you just arrived. Will you be here for long? "
" For a month"
No other word was uttered for 10minutes. Eye contact wasn't lost though each did it in their own turn, avoiding to be caught in the process. As nature made it, Dany had no other choice than to break the silence
" You are so beautiful Johana. I can't take my eyes off your beauty"
" Thanks. You are also......"
A sudden voice was heard urging all the passengers to get set for departure in the next few minutes. Nevertheless, this did not prevent Dany from asking Johana to complete her sentence
" No I got nothing more to say. Just happy for this encounter" she said

Though not what Dany expected her to say, her respond still stole a smile from him.
" My pleasure, but it will please me more if you tell me more about you. Do you live here with someone?
" No . I am here on vacation. I just want to relax "
Another voice recommended a passenger by name Dany to hurry. The bus was at the verge of departure. Dany was a man in love and for nothing could he miss the opportunity that was offered to him by confidence. He envied to stay back and enjoy the holidays with his lover.
" I believe that bus is pending for you" Johana enjoyed his companion but kept it a secret
" Of course. Johana I really appreciate your ways. To be clear and frank, I want to befriend you. All I need now is your consent and phone number"
Johana did not hesitate to exchange contacts with Dany permitting him to hesitantly leave her. She accompanied him with a beautiful smile until the bus departed. Johana thought she just had a nightmare. Dany's image was forever in her head and she felt like the world was nothing without him.

Both lovers spent their time on phone sharing love words and learning more about each other. Two weeks passed by in that same mood before they agreed to meet again. Dany was done with his professional occupation and travelled to meet Johana. She impatiently awaited in the park
" Finally here you are. I missed you" she gave him a peg
" I do missed you as well" he reciprocated the kiss but on her lips
Johana was amazed, shy and happy. Both embarked on their stroll

" Is this your first relationship? " Dany asked, taking her hands into his
" Nope. I had a lover who forsook me for another lady"
" Oh! I see. Is there any romance between you guys again?"
" I don't feel for him again" she hesitantly said
" As for me, I was engaged but the lady wasn't serious. I want a relationship extremely serious with you Johana. I love you and see my life with you" he stopped walking and took her two hands into his then used his eyes to seduce her
" I love you too and want a serious guy as well. Someone who really mean it to love me and one who loves me for who I am " she hugged him and her forehead was embedded with a kiss

They discussed about lots of things, had fun and most importantly promised seriousness to each other. At dusk, both moved to Johana's hotel room and it was there that Dany discovered that he had to put in a lot for the smooth functioning of their union and most importantly, that all depended on Johana

Jule was there in waiting for his lover. His conscience had judge him since the day he abandoned Johana
" What the hell are you doing here. How did you get in and who are you looking for...just...get out of here before I lose my temper. You son of a beast" trying to plunge on him like a lion on his prey
" Calm down darling. What's the matter?" Dany did not let his hands off Johana
" This idiot..... he is my ex. Just let me give him a lesson" Johana was so agitated. One really wondered what she could do if Dany let her be; could she even be able to move Jule's legs off her bed?

Jule was quite beefy like Dany. A Spanish guy. He uttered no words , majestically adjusted himself on the bed and looked at the intruders in his room. Dany successfully calm her down and opted for a mature behavior.
" How are you doing my dear Johana" Jule said extending hands which was ignored
" This is not you Johana. This behavior isn't yours. I know that I did you wrong but errors are to be forgiven. I love you and still can't do without you. Please forgive me and come back to me my love"

Dany sat silently and wondered what Johana's silence meant. Jule further asked for forgiveness for not greeting Dany. After that, a whole desert silence invaded their midst. Dany thought it wise to leave because according to him, his presence disturbed Johana and kept her mute.
" Johana my love, my angel " He went down on his knees
" Forgive me for all and please come back to me" he kissed her knees
Johana was dumbfounded. She maintained the mood for two more minutes before one could hear her voice
" Jule, what brought you back here?" she slipped from his touch
" I need only one thing from you. Do you still love me ?"
" No " she eagerly said

Jule was furious and decided to depart. On his way, he met Dany and warned him to stay far away from Johana. Johana was left alone in her room. She couldn't understand Jule's sudden departure but knowing what he was capable of, she rushed after him but met no Jule nor Dany

Back in her hotel room, she struggled to no avail to be in contact with Dany. She wasn't at peace and resulted to go in search of her lover. Johana walked for hours and to no concrete destination. The search became odious. She was disappointed and exhausted thus had to rest but unfortunately, she felt asleep in the middle of no where.

In the following 30minutes, a gang of five young men wandering around came across the sleeping lady. Her beauty was irresistible to four of them except Fred who was much more physically and mentally occupied with his day to day life worries.
" Hee men we got an apple to devour" A man said. The other three nodded in approval. As they went closer to Johana, Fred intervened
" What the hell are you trying to do man ?" Their voices were heard altogether uttering the same words furiously but quite calm for fear to awake the young lady.

" This is not the right thing to do. Remember we all vowed to stop futile life and take our responsibilities at hand" Fred said
" Common man. If you are tired of your miserable life, you can simply vanish and never you dare prevent us from attaining our objectives" A man said
His friends nodded in approval while they struggled to follow their path but Fred wasn't ready to let them be.
Their harsh voices awoke their prey from sleep but she wasn't conscious enough to quickly discover what was going on

" Run for the sake of your life young lady" Fred struggled to say while his friends tried to stop his breathe. He wasn't audible enough but Johana seemed to have nothing to do with that. She was more preoccupied with helping a young man in need rather than running for the sake of her life
Fred rendered her task easier by successfully defeating two of his friends. They lay on the ground helpless. Johana used a heavy stick to hit the other one on the head and Fred in compliance with her seized himself from his last attacker and made him faint due to his heavy blow
" I hope you are fine" Johana hurriedly asked
" You are courageous. Thanks for your help"
" I am the one to thank you. You risked your life to safe mine and for sure you won't be in good terms with them again"
" That's a long story. What could a beautiful lady like you be doing out at this particular time of the night?"
Johana said nothing but discovered that Fred couldn't take his eyes off her body
" Any problem?" she asked
" Nothing just admiring your beauty" he brought his chest closer to her's but the coalition wasn't exact because Fred was taller. To remedy the situation, he adjusted his knees by gradually letting it face the ground in a vertical way. His lips were so close to that of Johana, both eyes closed but different feelings. Johana was terrified but Fred couldn't help resist his emotions. He ceaselessly played with her hairs.

" No this is not possible. Unbelievable" Dany buried his face in his palms. They shuddered and Johana directed herself toward Dany asking for forgiveness. She offered to explain everything but Dany ushered her to the hotel. Her departure was a disappointment to Fred who far from understanding what was going on , he did not also catch eyes with Johana as she left.

" Johana before God and man, do you have genuine feelings for me ?" Dany asked
" I love you more than all darling. That guy rescued me and I don't know what came over him to behave as such. My silence was due to fear" she began sobbing
" What about the hotel guy?"
" It's that idiot; My ex. For nothing on earth will I ever return with him. You rescued my heart and our love is stronger than our problems. Please don't forsake me. I love you and you alone"
Dany couldn't resist the degree of love he had for Johana thus had no option than to forgive his lover. Both started romancing. Dany proved to be best in that domain. Johana did not let flee the phrase "I love you...."

Their magnificent moment was interrupted by a knock on the door
" Johana open this door" Jule's voice was loud and furious
The lovers ignored him. He struggled to force the door but to no avail
" I promise to deal with you guys. I know that the beast is with you" he departed
The next day, Johana went to do shopping. Dany was exhausted and didn't go with her. He was watching television when out of a sudden he heard a strange voice recommending the door to be opened as fast as possible. Dany wasn't foolish enough to offer himself to the murderers without safety measures but unfortunately for him, the murderers were more powerful and forcefully took him away. A note was left for Johana " Only s** with me will free your lover"

Immediately she opened the door, she discovered its scattered nature and the note on the table. Her screams alerted all the hotel workers
" Madame what happened?"
" Can't you see what happened. What is definitely your role in this hotel. There is insecurity in here, how can you explain this"
" Madame we are sorry....."
" Sorry you mean, just disappear from here. Make sure you take your gang along. Nonesense" she pushed them out and departed to the only place she knew as Jule's crime ground
" See see a lover came to rescue her lover. Come further darling" Jule said
Johana joined him in his scary room
" There is your dear lover. Won't you mind saying hi" he laughed
Dany looked at Johana as though telling her to turn down any proposal by Jule. His mouth was roughly covered with a dirty peace of cloth
" Jule what is your problem. Why won't you leave me in peace"
" It's only with me that you can be peaceful my lovely Johana. Come and kiss darling" he struggled to draw her closer to him but Johana resisted
" I believe you saw the note and I consider your presence here as an approval to my demand. You know me so well beautiful lady. I mean my words and nothing else can safe your lover"
Johana turned to Dany who kept on saying NO with a shake of head
" I give you 2minutes to decide on what to do or you will see him die"
A knife was immediately placed on Dany's neck by Jule's trusted friend in crime . Dany kept on saying NO but Johana seemed to have no choice. She thought of the several crimes Jule had committed and nobody was ever able to catch him
" Let not do this here" Johana said
" Why not. I want your lover to see us do it . I want him to feel every movement I undertake" while he spoke, his hands flirted over his chest.
Johana was left with no choice regardless of Dany's plea. Dany couldn't afford to see them thus tried to strangled himself but to no avail. Tears were all what he could portray
" Liberate him. We got nothing to do with him again"

Dany was set free but he left without addressing a word to Johana and since that particular day, their relationship had not been stable despite Johana's efforts. Things got worse when she announced her pregnancy to Dany. Dany was still in love with Johana but what happened was beyond his efforts to believe. Sadness invaded their lives and Fred took the opportunity to try his chance once more. He organised several rendez-vous with Johana but all in vain.
Jule succeeded in his task. He also took advantage to convince Johana to come back to him for the sake of their unborn child. Johana was in a dilemma. She could not tell if the baby was that of Dany or Jule but Dany assured her that it wasn't his

Time vanished but the lovers did not still succeed in resolving their differences. Fred was more than determined to seized the opportunity
" Johana why do you decline all my rendez-vous. Please I really need to sit and discuss with you"
" I am grateful for what you did for me but please I am not in the mood of telling whoever whatsoever"
" Sharing your worries with me will help you. It will play a huge role in resolving them. It is not mature to discuss along the road side"
" I care not about what is mature. I just need peace. I want to be alone"
" Solitary isn't the solution to your problem"
" Stop telling me what's the solution to my problem and what is no" she began to lament
" I know what is good for me and what is not" she further said but couldn't stop crying
Fred gently took her in his arms and it was only at that time that Jule appeared. He seized Fred by the neck and began to fight him.

" Jule I doubt which devil sent you in my life. You are the source of all my misery. I hate you..." she embraced the ground and fully plunged into a dirge.
In less than a minute, the ground was crowded. The fight ended with Fred's victory over Jule but as usual, Jule promised to revenge. Fred went his way without uttering a word to Johana.

A week after the incidence, Jule successfully captured Fred. The young guy was chained just like Dany but his mouth wasn't tight because he had to seek help from Johana
" Speak you dead man. You are left with a minute" Jule ordered.
Fred wasn't ready to say a single word but Johana identified who it was thanks to Jule's words
" Johana. My home thirst for your presence again. Your other lover is held captive and you alone can help him out" he ended the call and impatiently awaited for her arrival.

Before leaving her room, she sent an email to Dany
" My dear lover, please forgive me for all. Always remember that I love you and will always love you nomatter where I am. Fred, my rescuer whom you know is presently held captive by Jule and my conscience will forever judge me if I don't do something to help him. Jule is extremely dangerous and capable of all. I don't know what await me this time around but what is certain is that I prefer death rather than live with this burden. Life is useless without you and I will sacrifice myself to see Fred safe and happy. He is kind, innocent but can't control his emotions for me. My desire beyond all is to have you by my side. I LOVE YOU"

" I am proud to say that I know you so well. You are ready for all to help a human being but ready for nothing to help me" his tone gradually changed to a furious one
" Jule why all this. why did you install electrical cables everywhere and how can you chain yourself. Is that bomb am seeing. Oh God do you ignore the catastrophe of your acts?" she was astonished
" I am ignorant of nothing. I give you just few minutes to get in here and safe him. As for me , I am ready to die. Everything is already at work and in exactly 3minutes , BOMB... everything will explode" he smiled

Before leaving her room, Johana seemed to be ready for anything but right at that moment, her conscience began to judge her for putting the life of her unborn child in danger. What she saw was far from her expectations. Anyway, when she thought of how horrible her relationship with Dany had become, she resulted to take the risk.
" N..o ..Jo..ha..na...I love you"
Dany shouted out his lungs but it was too late. Johana had already embarked on a trip to rescue Fred. She looked at Dany with eyes full of tears but nothing could stop her from running. Though she ran, that wasn't in an athletic manner. Her pregnancy exhausted her and she couldn't get to Fred on time. Dany attempted to get in but the power of the bomb gave him a blow
" Jo...ha..na....." only tears were seen

He got in immediately the flames decreased despite the refusal of armed men. His eyes felt on the three body's as he advanced fearfully. The situation made him scream in despair but out of a sudden, he saw a gentle hand movement. That was Johana who by miracle still struggled between life and dead. She was urgently taken to the hospital.

" I am sorry for all . Please forgive me my love. Come back to me. I don't want to loss you" Dany continued in that same mood until Johana abandoned her path to join his. He was so excited to feel her touch
" Where is my baby?" Those were her first words
" I am sorry, we loss the child but together we can have another child and another one. Just as many as we want"
She sobbed but quickly embraced a happy mood. Hand in hand, they vowed to never part again.

God blessed them with children and they lived happily.
