This girl is not a graduate. My friends will laugh at me for ending up with undergraduate. Why not look for another girl. Am sure there are so many girls better than her. Sandra should not be the reason I should draw a final conclusion on ladies. So I decided to give it another try. Is it that educated girls has bad character than uneducated girls? But a graduate girls should be more intelligent and know what a man needs.
One day, a friend invited me for a wedding party, there i met Cynthia. She was a fashion designer. Although she was a graduate but she has a low level certificate. She is so beautiful and praise charming. When I saw her walking around, I became uncomfortable, looking for a way to talk to her. Oh my God, what a torment. I just needed a decent girl to settle down with. The way she speaks at the wedding party, made me fell in love with her. I approached her and we became more than a friend. I began to force myself to learn how to stick with one lady. I and Cynthia created a memory. Few months later, i decided to go and pay her bride price. There i found out that Cynthia was a mother of two children and a single mother. I fell on a sit, and broke down in tears. In fact, I managed to pick my broken pieces and left because I give her part of heart.
Cynthia later came apologizing to me, that she didn't know that our friendship could turn out to become a serious one. I told her that it's over between us. I am disappointed at you. Why can't you tell me that you are a single mother. Moreover, i can't eat a left over food. Please go and look for your match, I can't marry you. She left crying in pain. Oh my God, forgive me. What have I done? Why did I kept on hurting other people, all in the name of searching for a graduate as a wife.
One night, I was lying down in my room thinking on my experience about life. I was so down and devastated. So I called my mother to know how she was faring. She noticed it from my voice that i was down. She ask me what was wrong with me. When I tried to deny it, she told me that she noticed some kind of break down in my voice. I began to cry explaining my experience with Cynthia. She laughed and told me to come over since it's weekend. Early on Monday morning, I felt better and went to work from there. As I was working at the office, Akwaugo's memory flashed into my mind. I began to have a very deep romantic thought about her. The thought paused at a spot when a client came in and wave hand at my face. I now came back and said, 'Ah! is this a spiritual problem? Have Akwaugo possess me?
So when I close work in the evening, i decided to go to triple queen hotel to have a chilled time with my friends. While they were drinking and cracking jokes, I was busy staring at Akwaugo. When James saw that I have lost looking at Akwaugo, he touched me. I sighed and continue to sip my drink. James asked, 'is this not your cleaner'? 'She is the one Akwaugo' I responded. Men, she is more beautiful here. I think i will talk to her, James said. Don't you ever mention that to my side. She is mine and nobody else's. My friends began to laugh at me. I was ashamed and quit talking immediately. What? A cleaner? What will you do with her? Idris! You of all people. I left angrily. When I got home, I was filled with anxiety. I walked up to the dinning table, kept my car key. I stamp my feet on the floor. I moved straight to the bar, pick up a glass cup, open one bottle of whisky, pure it in the grass cup, and began to sip it, opening my eyes like a snake that is swallowing a dragon egg. I was rapped with thought, blaming myself saying, 'this girl is driving me crazy. Akwaugo is driving me crazy. Am even losing my temper talking out of control. I have to do anything possible to get her fall to me. I don't care whether she is a graduate or not. Highest people will say that am in love with mgbeke (illiterate). I don't care anymore'. So, life goes on.
Few weeks later, I met Akwaugo shopping at max shopping mall, I called her and we greeted. After then, we bid good bye. I then thought it might be a great opportunity to tell her everything. I turn again and said, 'excuse me'. She turned looking at me, waiting for me to say what I wanted to say. I automatically became a starmarer trying to say it out. Honestly 'I...i..I. . When she sees that I couldn't say anything. She said, 'Idris, you are wasting my time, say something'. She later left angrily seeing that I couldn't say anything. Oh no, what a mess. I said bitting my tongue.
After that day, I wasn't myself. I began to think of Akwaugo everyday and night. I said to myself, 'today I must tell her. I woke up in the morning, took my shower and left to the office.
I hope you like it.
