10% OF HER LIFE ( SEASON 1)

 Posted by Ade Adeola Solomon

On a beautiful morning, in early month of the year 2022, I soliloquized, "If you are going to love me, Love me now. While I can still know the sweet and tender feelings, Which from true affection flow. Love me now while I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on Ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it." After this thought, I remembered Patoranking's song titled, "Celebrate me" and I shed tears profusely.

I felt that my darkness grew stronger than my light. I became so sober to do things. Sometimes friends that are close would ask, "what's happening to you?". I got nothing to answer them with. Because I am too reserved. 

After a week of being dramatic to friends and family relatives, i picked a fight with her and I started telling her some offensive languages (my bad anyway!). I could believe she wept overnight because of what I said. Even with the way I have spoken offensively to this girl, I still felt emotionally wounded. Though war started between us. I was not even sure maybe I was fighting for love or self. I couldn't say anything about this any longer! I became tired, uninterested and worried in all things. My academics slacked down. Sometimes to pick up my books and read became an uphill task for me.I lost interest in the whole life. Hmm! What a helpless boy!

Hmm! The worst part of it was that we rarely saw each other on campus! Imagine someone I was once close to, that I couldn't do without seeing her a day. It was pitiful! In fact, i didn't even know how some people knew about this. They started asking me "what has done to you? What's happening between two of you?"....

With the ways people kept asking me questions, my mind became so worried more and I couldn't rest. I thought of making a move to beg her of the insulting words I said to her but the pride in me didn't allow me. I said "No! Not now".

In one of the days of February, after I apologized to her, I had my birthday and she was invited after we met on campus in the morning since the happenings between us. I told her, "would you come and prepare food for my friends? I need you to do this for me."  She agreed. But unfortunately, she couldn't keep up to the time she promised. She was late so some of my friends had left after one of them prepared Jellof rice for us to eat. 

When she came, I didn't reprimand her because we just resolved a case. I even welcomed her to my place like a Queen, served her her own meal. I was really happy because she came and honored my day (My light). After my friends left, then my darkness came. She began by talking about what has happened between us, giving me memories. I became so emotionally down. Seeing me full with soberness, she continued to tell me how hurtful those my words I once sent to her were. I said ," Baby, please stop recounting this, today is my birthday. We don't need this. Please!" But she didn't listen and continued so that I would feel how hurtful offensive words are. "Your offensive words couldn't let me concentrate on my studies for days", she said.

Hmm! I shed tears like a baby. She was looking at me as if I hate the truth, she even said it and this made me cried more. This year birthday was a bad-day for me. Though I later reconsidered her to be only lady who could do that because she knows I love her. I smiled after she left. I even saw her off. 

For several weeks, we didn't talk because of this. It seems our grudges became stronger. But this is a lady i can't do without viewing her pictures in a day. How would I survive this? Yeah, I thought deeply that I sincerely have love-obsessive disorder. 

Hmm.....After the lovey-dovey experiences, I tried to meet her in person......and I did.

What happened next?
