At first glimpse, having her pass by me, it was like a split-second time out into utopian fairy tale land where she is the only princess. That was Monday.
Walking down behind her, later by noon, walking became a pleasurable thing to do despite the hot sun. I could walk across the globe following her. That was the feeling.
At night i retired, yet an invigorating thought of her, her near perfection, smiley face and slim tenderness, brings forth an energetic smile to my face. Kept a candle of hope burning in my heart.
My eyes afraid to shut, maybe in fear of losing her figments. Thank goodness, later in dream she was all over everywhere.
Tuesday morning here, i am supposed to leave for Ghana via Lagos, but a call changed the plans, only God knows. When i dropped the phone, was about to rage in anger and disappointment then she walked towards the veranda then down the stairs. Anger left me instanta, rage changed its name to prospects, but surprisingly i was drowning in fear, why? I only made one step when i decided to say hello. It wasn’t because she was in a hurry but because i lost my ego and whatever it is that would have propelled my stopping her half way down the first stairs.
She quickly reached the first landing then i made a move, rushing down. Ironically, not to stop her but at least to watch her leave for school and relish her beauty and confirm the feeling of the first day. Again i hoped for another chance as i stood watching her disappear but i swallowed my saliva in shame but she was well worth it.
Into the town that noon, i was with and i saw lots of beautiful people, yes a whole lot of them, unsurprisingly to me, i knew and also saw the difference i wanted, the difference i was looking out for. The poise and panache, the pulsating simplicity. The completeness and classical endowment. I smiled like i would always, my intuitions never fail me, i knew i am special thus could easily spot the very special ones too. That was what i was looking out for, the chosen among the plenty.
Wednesday!! Usually my lucky day and did goddess cupid smile on me at night during my sleep? I was yet to find out.
I wanted to relax today, been working up and down. Took my time at the pool with friends. Was not interested in the fun play, wanted to defragment my head of things not necessary anymore, could be travelling tomorrow as well and wanted to work on my little in-plane and flying phobia and most importantly, i wanted to absorb her thoughts and images into me. I wanted to get full of her and maybe try this evening or die.
Walked back to the hostel, same veranda, same evening, was with my cousins and friends, something turned my head towards the stairs and my eyes yet met her walking up. I blacked out, all other sensors lost except sight, my retina got dilated, i could feel it.
She walked up to a door, opened and went in. I looked around me to check if any other person saw that creation with me. A near Aphrodite.
My senses were back and instinctively, i saw Saka my cousin, and i recognized he was the help from cupid.
He could get me to that door, he definitely should because he was an old student here. Called him aside, ''Who is this girl?'' i said pointing towards the door. ''I only know her elder sister'' Saka said.
Good, i had to have Saka walk up towards the door to ask her about her sis and maybe i could get a closer view of this chocolate angel and probably walk up to the discussion.
He went to the door and was talking with her, yet i couldn't summon courage to go towards the door. I would kick myself all night for this lost opportunity. I gave up, well not literally. Couldn't beg Cupid the god of love for a second chance. Had to go to the back veranda and wallow in my failure.
Looking up to the dark starry night from the veranda, a shooting star moved and quickly i made a wish, you already know what wish i could make and you are correct. I wanted to be with her, just talk to her and do anything to keep talking and being with her forever.
My wish was yet to come through but i got an instinct call to call up Saka again and have him go to that door and this time, i was going to go with him. The plan was for him to knock and when the girl opens, he should request for the sister's number, having supposedly lost it and then i could come into the discussion.
Saka gave a knock on the door and my heart skipped numerous beats. I stood searching my head for a way to come into the quick discussion. After a third or fourth knock, the door was opened, barely 15 degrees wide. Saka did his part very quickly and behold my head was still blank.
Then it came, just at the point she finished calling the number to him. Why a beauty like locked herself in was quite a good question in. Saka had left immediately. We had a little chat and she demanded i come back in twenty minutes.
Right on time i came back and although she didn't let me in that she was tired and the room was in a mess, i was solely contended, for the time she gave me and something inside me wanted to reciprocate the good. I searched myself for something else to give her apart from my heart. Yes she already took that one ‘’My Heart’’.
I came with a wine, i wanted to share. She insisted she was weak and had a rough day. I understood and pleaded to make her an early breakfast.
Oh yes!! Last night i couldn't sleep. My heart was beating soundly and i was elated for the lil time she could spare me, moreso she gave me her chat username and giving me her chat username. I waited patiently almost all night watching her username on my phone's chat screen hoping it could turn from white to blue. She had told me she might wake up by midnight and chat a little.
Early this morning i had to disturb everybody with noises from the kitchen as i made omelet and tea for her. Went to her room to bid her morning, again she left me outside and declined the food as she was hurrying to leave saying she would be back by nine, that she would call me.
I know i have to travel today Thursday but i would wait to have a time with her and will always come back for more.
I will always be here for her. Because of the little time she gave me. She would be a perpetual recipient of my unending love.
