Time and tide has passed since the occurrence of "THE EVENT". The sleeping dog wasn't indeed supposed to be awaken, but because closure was the order of the day and as the sun still shine and the little lilies haven't had their floral closed yet, then it must be that the truth be told if not to anyone, then to the sparrows of the sky the whispering of the whirl wind. . it was at the moment a period of reminiscing about the good, the bad and the ugly after all.
Does pain really hurt? I thought to myself rhetorically. My consciousness could easily guess the most probable answer to the question. I gave a deep breath and had myself relaxed. Falling back in place, I remember the event and various thoughts cascading down my mind. I wondered why it went that way, but my mind had no answer unfortunately. When the unexpected becomes the fate of one, it's never the end of LIFE I concluded in my torment.
It all started when I thought I was man enough to ask a girl out and my taste was one who could be there for me and I for her. or should I say, In my first year, when I met Kemi, whom I fell in love with at first sight.
It had been at the school auditorium when I first saw her. seeing her my heart throbbed and truly, not because I wasn't grounded in the affairs of wooing but I line with the certain eerie thought that I had found someone I have long been searching for.
She had been having troubles with her file and nobly I offered assistance to her but she wasn't so comfortable with my proposal . to this and maybe because of her naive mindset, she refused my help.
Was I scary looking? I thought to myself. Absolutely no!. My face certainly was not at least.
Even though physical appearances cannot wholly describe a person, I can still attest to the fact that, I was completely harmless without hidden agenda. I concluded within that even if I can't see her now, we will some other time.
Weeks passed and she was nowhere to be found. Not until one evening. It was reading hours and I had this uneasiness with sleeping at the reading period and that day I had told myself I was going to be extremely disciplined. All this took place in the lecture theater that is far away from my hostel. I had carefully chose this location because I needed absolute concentration in preparation for the imminent examination. To this time examination time table was already out.
At about 10pm, it dawned on me that I wasn't vehement enough for the
task of that day despite my preparations. I decided to change venue to
the adjacent class. There she was, burning the candle and making the most of
her precious time. I sat for a while staring at her, deciphering her
uniqueness and at the same time gumptioning my move towards her. Some
minutes later, I walked up to her.
Hi, kemi. Her warming responses to me scared away my little fears that she could turn me down. I felt absolute that night, like the unperturbed hero.
Everyone needs someone but not everybody is for somebody. Kemi and I chatted up that night, studied together and on the morning that followed, we both left for the hostel.
On our way, I decided to ask for her phone number and unreluctantly, she gave me. We both walked to her hostel before leaving for mine. It was a fulfilled studies for me, I was able to have all deals done.
Nothing can be more beautiful than being loved ,If you entered this world knowing you are loved and left the same, then everything that happened in between can be dealt with
