Hey! I wonder even how I’m going to start this one, because the experience did really leave me speechless. Then I’m thinking, why am I talking to you? I know I’m stunned right now and I cannot speak. Maybe you will remember a story right here on three days with joy. In that script I told you that I have a crush some gorgeous woman. Boi! All the time I was talking about her, I hadn’t seen her recently. The last time I remember seeing her was in 2005. Now 2008, I don’t know how God did it? Our paths crossed mid this year when God brought us into each others lives. I still hadn’t seen her because we were leaving in different countries at that time.
Have you ever felt a connection to someone you can’t see (in this case I ad seen her before) and then you only talk. Sure you have, at least. Right? Good! Then we are kind of getting into the same page here. Well, well, well, let me cut this entire thing on beating around the bush and get straight to the point. There’s a program at the National Theatre almost every Friday for a couple of weeks now, called Stars of the future. I will tell a lot, lot more on that. That’s where I was going to meet..you can call her the ice to melt a hot heart and a warm fire to heat up a cold heart. I don’t know if you can get me. Maybe you will find someone like her in this world again, but surely! It is going to be difficult. Did you say why? I’m kind of surprised at you. They are rare, when you do find one, believe me when I tell you; you are going to love to make all the happy music about it, even if like me you really don’t have the perfect voice. LOL I know you want to disagree with me and tell me about your queen but hmmmmm boi! Trust me when I tell you, I know okay and you have no idea what I’m talking about. Hmmmmmm, once again, I know I’m beating about the bush again. But hey! Relax the story of that Friday is yet to unfold.
That faithful Friday- I wonder why writers do call it faithful- Well I got the program very early, call it eagerness; call it anxiety. You know what I call it? I hate traffic, that’s why? Okay! Let’s be a little honest here, maybe I was so anxious to meet the woman that stole my heart. Funny thing, she still has it.
So what was I saying? Yea! I got there, parked; I kind of like turned my head on every car that pass behind me, for what purpose? I’m sure you know. Maybe the experience could be described like a blind date. Just that with this one, you know who the person was, you have seen the person before though in a long time, thing is; you wouldn’t know what to look for, because you just didn’t have an idea. I later went inside when the program was about to begin, I was watching and enjoying the live band performance, and then my phone rang. No! It rather vibrated. Yea you guessed it! It was her. I was just hoping that she hadn’t seen me first, or was somewhere in the crowd watching me, probably behind me even.
Surely I was glad when she said she was outside. Guys! You know what happened. I got like, okay! This is it. I recall her saying before not to expect a lot because I will disappointed. Yeah right! I have this theory that most, if not all woman who are beautiful will tell you they are not. You think I’m lying, think about it? Most women would go like “I didn’t know that” “Are you sure?” “You know, I think you are trying to flatter me here because surely my mirror never does tell me that” You know what I thought when she said that, that’s good right? I mean according to my theory. Means the woman is gorgeous, which is a plus. Why? Because all the time I hadn’t seen her and only did talk to her, I saw an inner beauty, which can be compared now to her physical beauty. Guys! You know why I say she’s rare.
Allow me to continue my script, okay! Stop pausing me,
Well so I went out the main building to the stairs when I spotted a friend of mine, an old class mate. You know what? I hate that part when someone or something all of a sudden comes between your goals. Then the friend of mine starts talking. Opps! Did I mention he was a guy, so he was like trying to catch up on every single event since we left high school? But then I kept giving him the eye, like I’m trying to get to someplace, but he keeps talking. Then I realize that there was the person, that woman, right there, a few feet from where I was. I know she tried to avoid my eyes, because though I was talking to this guy who’s name got lost from my head at that particular minute, I kept looking at her direction, no! I mean at HER.
Relax I haven’t come to that part yet. In order to prevent further conversation with my friend, I saw my little adorable friend, my queen’s sister, called Love (Beautiful name isn’t it? You can draw up lots of love from her being. I drew her close to get into a conversation with her for the first time, face to face. I loved talking to her, she laughed throughout the conversation. I’ll tell you a great lot about her sometime.
Don’t get me wrong, I love talking to friends, I didn’t mean to avoid my friend, but yea I had to at that moment. Jeeeeez guys sometimes, a man has to do what a man has to do. Okay! Now to the main stuff; remember my theory on beautiful women. Yeeeeah! I was right! Though I know she is still going to deny it to my face but take it all in. You know the first impression that came to me that moment I saw her. There was the gorgeous looking woman, in a beautiful green dress (green’s my favourite colour), hair neatly done. I don’t know if I can write this anymore, it feels like I’m trying to describe something here that can’t be described; it’s simply just pure elegance. Did I tell you about the way she talks yet? Yea I think so, in the other script. I told you, there was this soothing touch in her voice that made you want to turn around anytime to listen to every word she spoke. Even if she didn’t speak, I love to listen to her silence. It says everything.
Then it clicked, I’m still standing there with her sister and I asked her, “Doesn’t your sister look beautiful?” She knows I was right, but maybe I should have realized I was talking to another female, but her reactions and slight delay in answering the question gave her away. All this time my queen is talking to a friend, and then I got close to her, my other friend may have noticed something. Well he should have! I’m kind of like, it had taken some time. Well I managed to cut their conversation with the Love. I’m sure she didn’t even realized what she did. Then my queen goes to introduce me to her friend she was talking with. I’m here trying to still remember her name. I don’t mean to be rude but I can’t. You should know where my mind was all this time, looking into the queen eyes. She probably unconsciously tried to avoid my eyes. Later in the night, we talked and even as I walked besides, my entire world felt alright. I didn’t care and I still don’t care what the world thinks. Pal, ‘m sure you would agree with me that when you do find her, all other things don’t seem to matter.

Buddy, that’s an attraction between two opposite sex individuals, a subtle sensational infatuation that is almost thrilling enough to knock you down. But please be noted, love take so much to grow, it’s about forming an uniqueness that is eventually become irreplaceable.

Yeah Buddy, and that’s why we have agreed to take it all slowly. Like you said, it takes some time to grow… but there’s also a love at first siight that takes off…but it is still got to grow more when you think about it.
