THE HEART AT WORK By Ruby Ogbiti



He was crying but I was too distracted by the bruises on my body. They seemed alive and throbbed painfully, sapping my energy.
He had done this.”

That was all I could see for a while. The pain seemed to numb all my senses, moving up slowly till it was everywhere. Then I opened my eyes and saw Buky. God! She was so happy with Tayo. He was the only one who ever loved her. He whispered something into her ear but I couldn't really hear from where I stood but it sounds like he said "I love you".
His smile seemed to create the warmth that had eluded her for many years. He had saved her. He was her messiah. She looked back into his eyes and for a moment they seemed to sparkle. She knew it was true. So she looked back into his eyes and for a moment they seemed to sparkle and with a quick breath she said "I love you".



Where was the pain coming from!?
As I opened my eyes Tayo stared back at me with wild eyes. His fingers jabbed into my arms as he held on tightly. He was crying but I was too distracted by the bruises on my body. They seemed alive and throbbed painfully, sapping my energy.
He had done this.
He kept on muttering something. Couldn't really hear but it sounded like he said "I love you Buky". I looked into his eyes desperately trying to find that sparkle. It was there.....somewhere. so slowly slipping again into unconsciousness, i said with a quick breath "I love you too".

  1. If you are planning a conference for your business, you need to be really careful. As such events are critical for your public image. There are lot of points that you should keep in mind for effective company party ideas and management of business events.
