meet me in Alberta

 

The heat is on from the moment Raphael

concludes his apprenticeship. He starts working part time as a lecturer while

searching around for a permanent job of his calibre. He meets Virginia, a state

registered general nurse in training. Together they become an inseparable item.

He finds contract work that pays well and is within his trade 280-kilometres

away from his love. In her part, Virginia concludes her training and is posted

further away from her dream boy. As he thinks he is settling down Virginia

slips through his fingers like an eel in muddy water. She marries another

person. Smitten, he turns to his work and his experience but his heart cries

out for love. Four times he meets the same woman in a bus and in another

location. Dorothy is not his type but she does have charm, elegance, charisma

and things work well between him and her. She is not desperate to end her late

spinsterhood but they do work well. He married her. He thinks he has settled

won years later when he meets Virginia again. He is tired of one contract after

another without getting any permanent work until he gets a call to Alberta,

Canada. Both women want to be with him, Dorothy as his wife and Virginia as his

girlfriend but of whom will he share his Alberta abode? Will a double divorce

and remarriage work with Raphael and Virginia or will the African cultural

establishment work its pressure and charm on him. Only one woman can win the

race to meet Raphael in Alberta.
