Here's part 3 of the story:

As the days went by, Ben returned from his dad's place, and Amaka couldn't wait to see him. She had been thinking about him nonstop since their last encounter.

One evening, as Ben was walking home from work, he heard a faint voice calling out his name. He turned around to see Amaka standing under the streetlight, looking stunning in her yellow sundress.

"Hey, Ben!" Amaka said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I was just walking around, and I saw you from afar."

Ben's heart skipped a beat as he approached Amaka. "What are you doing out here all alone?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

Amaka shrugged. "Just needed some fresh air, I guess."

As they stood there, the tension between them was palpable. Ben couldn't help but notice the way Amaka's eyes sparkled under the streetlight.

"Amaka, can I ask you something?" Ben said, his voice low and husky.

Amaka's heart skipped a beat. "What is it, Ben?"

Ben took a step closer to Amaka. "I was wondering if maybe... you'd like to go out with me sometime?"

Amaka's face lit up with a radiant smile. "I'd love to, Ben."

As Ben smiled back at Amaka, he knew in that moment that he was falling deeply in love with her.

Meanwhile, Chioma was watching the scene unfold from a distance, her heart heavy with sadness. She knew she had lost Ben to Amaka, and it was hard for her to accept.

As the days turned into weeks, Ben and Amaka's relationship blossomed. They went on romantic dates, held hands, and laughed together.

But little did they know, their love was about to be put to the test. A rival suitor had emerged, determined to win Amaka's heart and destroy Ben's chances with her.

The battle for Amaka's love had begun, and only time would tell who would emerge victorious.
