TTB PENMASTERS is so lit this week we have another writer Vargaa with a very captivating piece tittled EJIRO... Let's get started on this piece that will definitely leave you wanting more...
EJIRO.

Ejiro. Her name was Ejiro.
She was dear to me, my gem.
She was a beauty, a true, black beauty with skin that glowed brighter than a a sun ray.
Her beautiful face accentuated with prominent cheekbones, a straight nose, big dark brown eyes and full pouty lips.
A true black beauty Ejiro was. She stood tall and proud amongst her mates, her figure could make a man lose track of his words as she had all the curves and assets that most girls use plastic surgeries to aquire.
Her laughter was like music to my ears.
I would watch her walk with her mates to the stream to fetch water, the way the golden sun reflected on her beautiful ebony skin as she threw her head back and laughed out loud without a care in the world, looking so impossibly beautiful with the 'suku' hairstyle she always wore.. Ejiro was my treasure.
I had tried unsuccessfully on different occasions to woo her, to make her mine but each time, all I got was a very disarming smile and "Oooh, Okachu-Vincent, you're very sweet and a good man, but I'm not ready yet". She had turned me down four times but for unknown reason, I kept going back to her, I kept giving her a reason to laugh, my attention and my time. After a few months, I decided to try my luck again and oh GOD, oh goodness me, she said yes! She said yes!! Ejiro said yes. I was the happiest man in the community, I had gotten Ejiro. I had gotten the Ejiro that all the men, both rich and poor, young and old had tried so hard to get. I was the envy of the community, my fellow men sang my praises and called me "Vincent the magic boy".
I gave Ejiro all the affection I could summon and she returned them with the same vigor. We were the envy of the whole community, both male and female.
All the females wanted to be Ejiro because of the constant petting and all the males  wanted to be me because of the beautiful Ejiro.
The attention started getting to my head, I became proud and started caving into the various temptations.
I became promiscuous and started following the community girls. As time went on, my interest in Ejiro began to wane as more and more girls presented themselves for my picking.
Ejiro tried as much as possible to get me back on track, whilst wondering what she had done wrong and beating herself up mentally.
I caved into my fleshy lust and abandoned my Ejiro. She endured and endured until one day..
She walked in on me with another woman, she didn't utter a single word but as I looked up and saw her there, my world shattered. The look on her face brought me back to my senses in full force. She had a look of such abject sadness and betrayal that I could feel her heart violently shredding into a million pieces. As we stared at each other, oblivious to every other thing, including the lady I was with a big, silent tear rolled down her right cheek and she turned and left..
I tried as much over the next few months to get her back but she wouldn't accept or even see me.
I hated myself and stayed alone and away from her for a while.
When I couldn't take the distance anymore, I went to her place one evening only to be told that she had moved to another community. .
I went back to my home and screamed and shouted and wept as the harsh reality dawned on me.
I had lost her.
I had lost Ejiro. .
Ejiro, Ejiro truly was my first love.
