Ibrahim's POV

I have landed in Rio De Janeiro and it was really warm so I rolled up the sleeves of my shirt.

I waisted no time as I landed I went to the hotel where I had made reservations for a quick shower. As I was done I grabbed the necessaries and went out to hail for a taxi.

I ask around the area or the neighbourhood from where I was if anyone knew a women by the name of Milena Silva because their houses are a lot different then the Americans. A boy who knew the lady told me to walk four houses down number 18, I thanked the boy handing him a $100 bill.

" Thank you Sir " I smiled back and he walked away. I kept on walking till I found a house number 18. The house was inside the compound well secured, I pushed the gate open and saw a women sitting under a mango tree rocking her chair back and forth.

I approached the lady, she looked exactly like Roseni but older now I see where she had gotten her looks from especially does curves, I miss running my hand along them.

" excuse me ma'am? " she looked startled as she had her eyes closed

" sorry for startling you but I am looking for Ms Milena Silva? " she focuses on my face first than to what I wore

" yes I am Milena son, how can I help you ? " as she gave me a warm smile

" I am Ibrahim De Luca, coming from the USA. I .... " she cut me off. When I looked at her, she broke into a wide smile. Grabbing a chair near by telling me to sit down

" sit down my boy. Now do you want anything? " I shook my head

" no ma'am I am fine " I replied back to her

" ok. Now tell me what brought you here in this hot Brazilian weather " she seems calm and well collected

" i .... I am here to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage ma'am " I was sweating if may be honest.

I know I haven't found her yet but I have learnt that sometimes or always in life we got to put faith into action and that's what I am doing now.

Later I got to thank my mother, surely that church thing helped and now I am putting into practice what the preacher said.

She was speechless for a moment, deep in thought I wonder what she is thinking. A man of my age just walked into her compound and asking to marry her daughter, she must think I am crazy.

" which daughter my son ? " she asks me calmly

" your only daughter Roseni Silva Carter " I wiped the invisible sweat off my forehead. She is making nervous.

" my son .... Do you love my daughter? " she asks. I was shocked at first because she didn't ask of my background, what I do for living or was I a criminal etc as if she knew me.

" yes ma'am I do love her, words alone cannot explain how much I love your daughter. I don't know if you know but she had gone missing 4 weeks ago, and till now there is still no sign of her. But I know that I would do everything in my power to find her, and when I do I won't let her go but rather make her my wife that's why I am here. I love her so much " she had tears in her eyes but quickly wiped it off

" oh ... Son, marriage it is not easy but rather two people who loves each other dearly, making every effort of wanting it to work and last. Since you have decided on taking this path that the Lord had created for a man and a women to take, I bless you and give you my blessings. But .... Make sure you cherish it with all that you got and don't let it slip out of your hand. " she stood from her chair and gave me a motherly hug in which I returned happily

While talking and asking her about everything the compound gate opens, I turn my gaze to it and saw a man looks to be in his twenties carrying a girl

"open your eyes for me " he says

" it hurts too much Diego " clutching his shirt. That voice ....

" I promise to make it better " he kissed her forehead

" you promise? " Rose ? hell! No ! The guy so called Diego was now looking at me and I had my fists ready to punch this b*****d.

" ó meu Deus "  ( oh my goodness ) I hear Ms Milena say from behind.

Than Rose turned to see who or what the guy was staring at. She turned and that's where her gasped echoed around, looks like she was crying and blood was trickling down her forehead. I guess that's the reason why she was so upset.
Neither of us said anything. We just stared at each other how I want her right this very second in my arms, my Hands were itching to touch her, to know that she's alright that I can make the pain go away. Not some b*****d !

" Diego ? Thank you for bringing me back, you may go I'll call you up later " she says

" who is he ? " hints of jealousy there I see. I waited to hear what Rose was going to say

" his .... My .... Can you just go Diego please. I promise I'll take care of myself  and when I do I will call you "

" I'll only go because you ask me to pretty face " he kisses her forehead while looking at me, to make it even worse he said

" talk you later babe" I ran a hand through my hair, breathing in and out slowly. I don't want to make a show here, but for my women I will.

He left and Rose looks at her mother and raises her eyebrow, I didn't understand that. Some type of sign talking, she walked inside the house living me outside.

" son you should follow her inside to her room and talk to her " I nodded and followed her up to her room.

I stood in front of a wooden brown door since everything was on the ground floor and knocked twice. No answer. I opened the door and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed facing the window.

" Babe ..... "
