FRIENDS FOREVER

In a village called Nandom lived a farmer called Mr. Manu and his wife Maame Kuma. They have married for over ten years without a child and after consultation and prayers the lord blessed them with a baby girl whom they named Isabella Maame Akyea Manu after Mr. Manu's late Aunty who took care of him when his mother died.

Isabella grew quickly and beautifully that people started comparing her to the most beautiful queen that ever lived.

Mr. Manu and maame kuma made sure she never lacked anything especially financial and educational needs. Because of this good care she usually topped her class in everything they do even more than expected of her.

Finally she wrote the basic education certificate examination and came up with flying colours even championing the whole district which earned her a scholarship to study science at the Domangye high school for excellence.

When the time came for her to leave for school, her parents, chief of the village and the whole community advised her of bad friends, to take her books seriously and pray without ceasing. She thanked them and promised not to fail them as they have confidence and trust in her.

She left after the chief, Naa Charles IV blessed her. It was a long journey and she finally got to the school. At the entrance a group of students helped her to carry her luggage inside.

A week later intensive studies started and she worked hard that all the teachers liked her. She did all her duties and assignments on time and made sure and fault is found on her.

Because of her beauty most students started making advances to her but rejected them all telling them she was there to study and not to look for boyfriends. These offended most of them especially the seniors who began hating her for no cause.

All this while academic works were ongoing and students were showing their academic prowess and she was even excelling more with the combination of punishment and the academic works.

One day a form one male student who had noticed her felt pity and decided to her out with the punishments. This boy Silas was also from a farming community and an orphan who lives with the uncle. He was also brilliant and hardworking as Isabella.

In less than a week they became the best of friends and seen almost everywhere studying together to the admiration of all the teachers and envy of the students.

Three years passed of that of a whirlwind and they both completed with excellent grades.

Due to this, Isabella had the chance to go abroad to study law in one of the best universities on America and Silas went to the university of Ghana medical school.

While she was, there she made sure they stayed in touch through writing of letters. This drew the attention of both families who prayed that they will continue that way till eternity.

They both completed their fields of study and were practising. One day news broke that Isabella is seriously sick had have to return to Ghana for treatment.
