“Nina will you marry me my darling?”

Eyob kneels on the ground, and there is a ring in his hand.

Nina and Eyob have been lovers for 3 years. And today, it is Eyob’s birth day. And on his birth day he is proposing to the woman he loves deeply. Actually Eyob didn’t remember his birth day but, he simply chose today; Sunday, Feb 5 for his proposal. In the other hand Nina prepares a birth day party at her place.

When Nina hears Eyob’s proposal she feels extremely happy. Then she answered without hesitating.

“Yes my love I will marry you.”

Her face was covered with her bright smile. Marrying Eyob was her dream, and she loves him very much. She feels like she is on cloud nine.

When Eyob hears her positive answer he couldn’t believe his ears. He then put the beautiful and expensive diamond ring on Nina’s finger then he screams while hugging her.

“Oh my God I am happy. You are going to be my wife. I love you.”

Eyob kisses all over Nina’s face.

…………………………….

After celebrating both Eyob’s birth day and their engagement the two of them are finally about be to separate.

“Eyob it is getting late you have to go now.” Nina said.

Although the two of them have been lovers for 3 years they never sleep together because both of the want to do it after marriage.

Eyob and Nina first met in the university and start dating since then. Although Eyob’s family and Nina’s family are very close, the two of them never met before. Because Eyob doesn’t like, it can be said he hates a relations that are based on feelings like friendship and romance. He only believes on family. But after meeting Nina, he loves her more than anything in this world and he is trying to build a good relation with her family just for her. Since the two families are very close they are happy about the relation between Nina and Eyob.

“Okay my love. You know I love you.” Eyob kisses Nina.

“Let me send you out.” Nina follows Eyob to his car.

“I miss you already.” Eyob starts kissing Nina passionately. After a long time the two love birds finally let go each other and Eyob gets in to his car and starts the car and left.

Nina can’t take off her eyes from the ring on her finger. She is really happy and wants to share the good news with her sister Betty and called her.

Nina’s family lives in Addis Ababa city while she lives in Dire Dawa city. After some time the call connected.

“Hello sister.” Betty’s pleasant voice sounded from the other parts of the phone.

“My dear how are you?” Nina gets excited when she hears her beloved sister’s voice.

“Nina I am okay. How are you? By the way, you sounded very happy what’s up?” Betty asked

“Betty, Eyob has just proposed to me?” Nina told the good news to her sis

“What sis I am happy for you congrats. You know what, I will come to you tomorrow” the sisters chat for a while and hang up.

……………………………………………….

Eyob is very happy and humming while driving.

Suddenly his car accelerated and it speeds up.

“Wow!” Eyob stunned by his car sudden speed and he try his best to control the speed. But when he tries to control the speed the car accelerate even more.

“What on earth is happening?” he is confused, but he has no time for confusion now because his car is out of control. And there is a truck coming in front of him and he couldn’t do anything, his car is out of his control.

The truck is approaching and as well as Eyob’s car is accelerating towards the truck.

There was only one stride between death and Eyob, death is approaching slowly while he is rushing to it.

Eyob is scared but suddenly his car slows down and makes a way for the truck.

“Ufffff” Eyob sighs. He didn’t understand what just happened. His car was about to crash and now he is fine. As Eyob was thinking about what just happened his car suddenly start accelerating again.

“Oh no, not again please.”

The slowed down car starts accelerating and speeding up.

It was like he was on the passenger seat and someone else was driving the car. That all he have to do is try to adapt the drivers way.

“What is it, is it some kind of game?”

Eyob knows a little about things like someone trying to kill somebody by controlling the target’s car, but that was only on the movies. He never heard about it in real life. Although that is the case, Eyob doesn’t remember offending someone that they want to kill him like this. So he really can’t get what is happening.

Eyob tries his best to control his car but all his effort was in vein. He couldn’t control the car.

As Eyob can’t do anything, he just sits still and tries to hold on the wheal. The worst part is there is a cliff right in front of him, and his car is speeding to the cliff like there is some kind of magnate that is attracting it so much.

When Eyob sees there is a cliff, he tries his best to control the car. He just can’t sit and wait for his death it is impossible. He has to struggle till the end.

“No, I cannot die here now. I have to get out of here and marry my beautiful Nina. I can’t leave her. I can’t abound her. No I can’t. I won’t leave her alone.” when death is near to Eyob the only thing he was thinking about was not his family, work or not even about himself. But it was only about Nina. He was worried about leaving her alone. He is not afraid of death. He doesn’t give a shit about his damn life, but still he can’t die. Because there is Nina in this world the girl he loves the most and cares about.

While Eyob was thinking about Nina the car reaches the cliff and is about to fell down in any second now.

Boom

At the last second the car suddenly stops. When he was waiting for his death the car stops. What a miracle.

“Thanks to God.” it can be imagined how relived Eyob be at this critical moment.

Bang

When Eyob sees a glimpse of hope the car starts to feel down to the cliff.
