When I talk about this woman, some would prefer to call her a girl. There are so many things that you would be surprised by her. Well she’s my cousin, from my paternal family side. I have barely stayed with her for a year. Of course, she goes to school in MGIS, where I work now, about to graduate from writing her IGCSE which she finished this week, and her SAT exams she completed on Saturday. Hope her all the best. There’s a whole story in this woman, many of you can learn, other parts in the plot that will go to amuse you.

Allow me to start from Tuesday. I came home from work to meet her in the most beautiful hairdo I have seen her make over the long time I have known her. Hope she wouldn’t take me wrong to think that was the only nice one I have ever seen, I mean you know us guys; things really do take our breath away!

Like I said I came from work, and we were having the usual Tuesday Bible study at home, where members of the church within our community came around to participate. I came in late with my uncle, I hadn’t seen her yet. I was so tired from the days work, but when I settled, OMG! Seeing her, made tiredness slip and my eyes beheld the glory! :) In her own words, she looked, “cutish” Wow! She was beautiful. Of course, you didn’t want to shout that out at a Bible study, would you? Well, then we closed the programme, when I shook her hands just like everybody there, I wanted to compliment her new look. The thing is, with her you just can’t tell if she really feels whatever you are saying or not. You know those mood swings. I had heard many “thank you’s” from her, that weren’t seemingly heartfelt. I don’t know if you have had that thing before. Maybe you gave your sister something, and she just said, “Ah! Thanks” You know, you just know whether to continue or not to give. I don’t know but I just didn’t! Maybe because, we just closed the meeting and we were all packing to go back. You know, you feel like it is not the right moment, so you would reserve it for another perfect moment same night.

I went down to my room to change. Just for your information, her room is upstairs. She came downstairs just to the sitting room. I heard her talking with a friend from the meeting, who was just waiting to join the others to go home. I thought she would pass by my room on that occasion, she always does. But this time she didn’t! You can’t believe that when she went up, she locked her door! So yea, tomorrow! I went to bed. Knowing how she was, I knew she probably didn’t like that I didn’t compliment, maybe? Like I said, with her you couldn’t really tell. I mean come on! Ladies, who wouldn’t want guy to compliment something nice you had on, forget a guy even, just anyone!

The next day, you know what happened! Yes even before that, she was not coming to school because she had finished her exams, and yeah! Surprising as it may sound, I didn’t see her in the morning before leaving to “school”. I left early with my uncle to work. We both leave early. Our rooms are downstairs and Adom and her sister, and her mother (my aunt) are upstairs, and the door to the top is lock, so if no one comes to open the door, you wouldn’t be able to go up. Yea, that’s what happened, we didn’t meet.

On arriving home yesterday night, I saw her going into the house. I think she went to buy something, or just for a walk. She has the same hair beautifully done again. I was in the car with my uncle, well, she didn’t even come to say hi or something. She saw us, of course, the car was parked right in front of the gate. Just that we couldn’t get down because, we had to take something down our street. Seriously of course if she came over and said hi, this doesn’t matter. I would have had a perfect chance to compliment her hair…but No!

We met later downstairs, talked for a while in my room. I told her I wanted to complete some work back some school on my computer in the hall. She said, “Okay! Then I’m going back to my room, I’m going to sleep” So I accompanied her up stairs through the kitchen. Now I was so tired, that I overlooked her hair this time. I just didn’t notice I hadn’t still said anything. I mean, a whole day gone without. How would you feel? When we were up the stairs we talked for a while and I had to leave again down. She said, “My hair, you see you have told me anything, you have even noticed.” Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I felt so bad! I tried to explain, that I had wanted to tell her since yesterday, that her hair was very beautiful. She just nodded, like the “yeah right you did!” kind of nod. At least that is what I saw. I felt so bad I went straight to my knees, like most times with her to apologize. She just nodded again. So this time I held her hands but to no avail. She pulled me by my hands, moving me away from the door, still on my knees! This time she came down the first stair, me on the upper side. She said, “You get up!” I replied still holding her hands, “not until you have forgiven me.” She stood this time, “get up, I want to go and sleep” I shifted away for her to pass still on my knees, “you can pass.” She didn’t, still insisting that I should be on my feet before she leaves. Then I said, “Forgive me, then I’ll get up” She nodded didn’t say nothing afterwards. So I said, “Have you forgiven me?” She nodded YES. I got up and watch her go inside and close the door. Then I nodded went back down to start my work. Sometimes I guess wonder, what goes on with women. You can’t know everything about them, can you?

That’s just from yesterday! I told you there’s a whole story with this woman. Imagine 6 months before! I tell you more soon.
