A confused Love

Today's article will be about the film I watched today on TV. The title of this movie or should I say film is 'delayed love'. It is an Igbo movie. The setting is that of a village. The characters are very good too; fluent in both English and Ibo language. Since the setting is a village, the characters wore their natural looks or better still, no heavy makeup. Although, it lasted for hours, I enjoyed every bit of it. It is a very interesting movie.

It is about a guy who basically lives in the village. He works there too as a mechanical. He is well-to-do, maybe not wealthy but comfortable. He is also a nice guy and very much single. I can't remember his name so I'll just call him Chinedu..

There is a lady who is secretly in love with him unknown to him but she is his bosom friend. The lady's mom is nice. She gives the guy food often and treats him like her own son. The name of this lady is Amaka.

This lady is the only child of her mother. She is quite close to her mom as well. She tells her mom about her love life and also her feelings for her friend. Her mom urges her to speak up and let the guy know about it but she found that really difficult to do, waiting for the right time. She was nice to him hoping he would develop feelings for her. The guy was nice to her as well but in a friendly way. He sometimes call her "my sister". She doesn't want to be seen that way by him. She cooks for him, help with the house chores and try to keep him company.

But this lady has a friend, who is also a lady. They've become very close and now best friends. The name of this friend is Ngozi. Ngozi and Chinedu met and fell in love with each other. Chinedu claims it is love at first sight. They loved each other a lot and even had marriage on their table. It is a very serious relationship.

Meanwhile, their friend was secretly hurting, wetting her pillow with tears every nightShe didn't want to break the bond they shared. She was scared that if she opened up she will be rejected.

Chinedu and Ngozi planned to get married. Chinedu decided to pay Ngozi's bride price the next month. But something unexpected happened. A suitor came to ask for Ngozi's hand in marriage. This suitor is based in Enugu state. He is rich, works in a good company and owns multiple cars.

To cut the long story short,Ngozi married this young man. She chose money over love. She gave in to the pleas of her mother and cousin. She travelled with this guy and married him. Meanwhile, she made sure to leave first before making sure Chinedu heard about it. She sent her friend to deliver this message to Chinedu.

On hearing this, Chinedu was very heartbroken. He cried o. I pitied him small sha😪

Amaka, Chinedu and Ngozi friend tried to be there for Chinedu but he pushed her away, blaming her for what happened.

Amaka's mom urged her to open now or keep quiet forever and that this is her opportunity to win Chinedu's heart. She still found this hard to do.

Then there came a day when Amaka visited Chinedu and she opened up. Chinedu apologized. He said he was oblivious of her feelings for him. However, he told her that as much as he wants to move on, he hasn't gotten over Ngozi as he loved her deeply.

Amaka was patient with Chinedu. She loves him so much. Chinedu came to like Amaka and finally asked her to marry him. Isn't that beautiful?

But Ngozi, Chinedu's ex, came back to the village. She lost her husband and her husband's family took everything from her.

On seeing Ngozi, Chinedu's love for her was rekindled. He claims he still loves her and will do anything for her including marrying her, leaving the city, and maybe divorce Amaka.

Amaka found out about this and was angry and bitter. After much plea, she left the house for them.

Ngozi and Chinedu ended up getting married. But Chinedu is confused. Now that Ngozi is here, he misses Amaka. He just realized that he has being unfair to Amaka.

He asks Ngozi to leave him alone. He doesn't know what he wants. So, a confused love.
