Down memory lane...!

Miller and Vivian.If it was possible the whole world would have known how much in love they were,everyone who knew them,had solid evidence just how much these two were meant to be together...for-ever!(if there's anything like the word!)

I remember one time when we were having lunch Vivian will go on and on about how close she and Miller were..**cough**as if i didnt know.She'll tell me about how Miller picks her up at her office when she knocks off.Miller knocks off at his work at 16:30pm,but at that exact time he'll be at Vivian's office,only God knows at what time he would have left his office,he'll accompany her to school,Vivian's classes finish at 8:30pm,and Miller will be waiting for her by her class,they'll go home together,they were co-habiting,a very common situation we find today in Gabz done by most teenagers.

Miller was Vivian's only friend,but Miller had other friends of his whom he normally hang out with.Vivian was not allowed to have any girls as friends.Her life in Gaborone those days were a form of a triangle.From home she'll go to work in the morning,from work to school then from school back to base.It was a life she had grown to accept and live with.To her it was fine.It WAS fine anyway,what was wrong in there? Nothing!

Miller and Vivian met in 1998.It was in a bar back home where Vivian's mum comes from.Surprisingly enough Miller's mum comes from the same place too and as time went on Viv and Miller came to realise that they are related.In fact their mothers were cousins but that didn't stop them from taking what they had developed for each other a step further.To them,they were not related-their mothers were!.Well the relationship was put onhold the whole of 1999 and a good part of 2000 when Viv went for her National Service in Maun.Miller was doing his course at FETE in Gaborone,there were no cellphones and the only quicker mode of communication then was through writting letters and telephoning.

When the schools closed (Viv was teaching at Boyei Primary School in Maun during he national service) Viv came to Gabrone to meet up with Miller as they had appointed in the last letter Viv wrote to Miller.They were supposed to meet at City hall in the main mall.But it didn't happen coz Viv had realised she was pregnant with somebody else's child and she didn't want Miller to see her like that.So till the school vacation was over,Viv went back to Maun without having met with Miller.

Vivian was transfered back to her home village after she had reported to the authorities that she was pregnant.She came and awaited her time of delivery in Serowe.She gave birth to her first child on xmas day early in the morning.It was a baby girl.She was with her aunt at the time of delivery coz her mum went to attend a wedding of her niece in th eastern part of the country.When Vivian's mum came home she was very delighted to find a new baby at home.

Viv and Miller met again sometime in 2000.Ernest was gone now.Just because Miller loved Viv that much he took her back,together with the baby.He told her how he waited for her at Kgagodi.Hoping against hopes that she'll show up for christmas like the year that passed.But he had stories that Viv had fallen pregnant and that she was already laid in.He said he went to Viv's house to comfirm.When he was told that it was true he boardered the next bus back to Gaborone.He said he was very hurt! ''but it's okay now,we have passed that right? I'm over it myself.That's why i still want you back.Bcoz i love you Viv.I couldn't get over you.The reason why i went to Kgagodi was bcoz i wanted to see you.That's all.Please believe that i've totally forgiven you and i want us to start all over again.Please''

And as they say...the rest is history..!!
