Chapter 3 A Walk in the village

The next day, Andre waited eagerly for Sophia by the mango tree, he waited for hours at a point he lost hope and thought she wasn't going to come, he was about leaving when he say her coming, he wore a casual smile, trying to play it cool. When Sophia arrived, her bright smile lit up the surroundings. Their walk through the village was filled with laughter and conversation. They talked about everything from books to music, and Andre discovered they shared many common interests. As they strolled, the warm sun on their skin and the gentle breeze created a perfect atmosphere.

Andre asked Sophia about her dreams, and she spoke passionately about becoming a teacher. He admired her dedication and enthusiasm. As they walked, the sound of drums and singing drifted through the air. A group of villagers were celebrating a traditional festival. Andre and Sophia joined in, dancing and laughing together. The rhythm and joy were infectious. In that moment, Andre felt a deep connection to Sophia. He realized he wanted to spend more time with her, to explore the village together, and to learn more about each other. As the festival ended, Andre walked Sophia back home. They stood outside the compound, reluctant to part ways. "Would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" Andre asked, hoping she'd say yes. Sophia's smile hinted at agreement. "I'd love to." Andre's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't wait to see Sophia again and continue their budding connection.
