Ayánfe

Ayánfe is a project I'm working on. It might develop into a series or a book. This is an excerpt below


       AYANFÉ

  She approached him, wearing her hottest "Oleku", the one he loved best. He was waiting under the mango tree, clad in Buba, shorts and his " Abeti Aja" cap. He smiled at the gentle sway of her hips moving side to side like a pendulum, she moved as gracefully as a cat in its master's presence, body shaped like a hourglass.
  Ayanfé threw herself into Ogunjimi's arms and he hugged her like his life depended on it. They looked into each other's eyes, understanding everything left unspoken. It was inevitable what was about to happen. "Ogunjimi mo tí n ló, I've to go" she said. He took his hands off her waist then, and said "Days will pass, years will turn to decades, but my love for you will forever be fresh like water leaf which grows beside a tap"
   They shared a kiss,gentle yet breathtaking, putting all emotions into it as they knew it could be their last. Ayanfé broke the kiss and left without looking back, on her way to the king's palace, where she'd be the latest bride which the despot took for himself.
