His Bonnie, Her Clyde

He held her hand and ran, blood dripping from where the bullets had hit him.

They kept running with their attackers behind them, him wincing inwardly, his face concocted in pain.

She tugged at his arm, wishing he could see the concern on her face, and allow them stop to rest for a while.

She knew that was impossible, not with the retinue of hitmen chasing after them.

They ran till they got to the River Gyrrekuger.

Her breath caught in her throat as she saw a glimpse of what lay below; rocks and rocks and a large expanse of water.

She looked at the river and back at him.

His response was a single nod.

This time she held his hand firmly, as they both proceeded to jump in to the river, a bullet hit him in his chest, few inches away from his heart.

He staggered forward into the river, pulling her with him.

Down and down they spiralled downwards into the river, his arms wrapped around her, shielding her from sharp rocks and stones, as he collided with them instead.

They both landed in the river with a loud splash, followed by bullet shots trailing them into the river.

Bleeding profusely, he held her as they swam to safety and away from the hitmen.

She tore the helm of her skirt and held in firmly to the wounds to stop the blood flow.

"You are badly hurt. " She said, looking in his eyes with pity.

"I have been through worse. And for you, I won't hesitate to jump through hoops, or go to hell and back. " he replied, taking her lips in his.

She kissed him back feverishly.

There and then, she knew he was not dying anytime soon, he was going to live to fight for her another day.

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie. This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
