SNIPPETS : ANOTHER LOVE SONG (UNEDITED)

CHAPTER ONE

Adesuwa Williams is happy and sad at the same time. Happy because she just won four MTV awards- one the most celebrated African music awards, beating big time artistes nominated along with her in the four most competitive categories. She is also excited because her latest album is selling by the thousands, and breaking all records, she’s been nominated for both the Coral and Grammy for the best African acts. It was all unbelievable, and naturally she was very animated, the subsequent events had made her giddy with elation.

A number of companies are already approaching her for endorsements, shows and concert are getting over-booked, and series of press conferences and interview are lined up. She has signed so much autographs that her fingers ache, every one wants to be associated with her, already she is billed to feature in two films. She is on top of her game, and the glitz is reeling. For a long time this has been her dream, and she had worked hard for it. she sits back in the comfort of her first class seat musing.

She is sad because the negative publicity is getting increasingly worse, even her family is beginning to complain. It had caused her four years relationship, her finacee left her at the climax of it all. She had suddenly become the toast of all gossip columns; the entire media seems to have gone crazy about her. Several tagging were attached to her name-she is a nymphomaniac, a lesbian, a drug addicts, a nudist, and mistress to many high power politician and business men, it was all so awful. She could no longer have a decent conversation with ordinary people without them checking her out for all the result of her whims. These days she wears sleeveless to show that she has no needle marks on her hands and wears no dark shade so it is not misinterpreted for hiding a drug addict’s glassy eyes. She is an untried convict. Hers is the greatest pain behind the fame. It’s all so nerve wrecking!

All the good men seem to have suddenly dried up. many of those who wants to date are only interested in her fame and probably money. How she missed Osahon -her fiancé. He knew and loved her when she was nothing, and it was true love. At the height of it all, he had demanded she quits her entertainment career and settle into private business since she has made some money. She had refused, thinking he was jealous of her successes or insecure about losing her to another man. Initially he had not been disturbed about all the terrible things the media write about her, then he began taking things serious when he saw a picture of her being held too tightly by a popular male musician in the glitterati pages of a local magazine. She never believed he could leave her, she had been heart broken. Now she heard he’s engaged to some other women, it cuts like a knife.  She felt like crying again....
