Understand My Right Love

Chapter Seven

Loving is all what the heart wants, but why don't we find the right person when our own hearts yearns  for love.  Why do we get lost and believe the wrong guys. How I wish my first relationship was the love of my life, but the heart gets so broken, people are different in the game of love. And we have different desires when it comes to loving. You'll meet a talk dark and handsome with no manners. Get the hardworking guy but he doesn't a face to look in the mirror with. A  wealthiest man with lies and disrespect.  Reason I chose to just wait for someone whom we shall be compatible with. Love, care, respect and build a future with. If he was not book smart then I'll use my brain on his behalf.   A prince charming to give me peace and let my heart be at peace. The person who would fill my dark life with stars, make my heart race. Make my body ache for his touch and be mine forever, the love I dreamt of was kind of impossible but as they say dreams are valid. Hoping mine will come to a reality.

I had been sick and God sent me an angel to look after me. My neighbor, Eugene, my day had been boring especially with coughs and sneezes, I felt like I would run out of breathe any minute that passed by. I called my friend Ruby just to keep me company over the phone even if she was far away from the city.

"Hello, good morning Ruby?"

"Hey, good morning, are you okay, I can tell from your voice you are sick".

"Just a little bit sick but I'll be fine".

"Quick recovery my dear, please remember to take your medicines".

"I will dear".

"How is home by the way?"

"It's tough, I'm still looking  for a job, so far I haven't heard from any employer from all the application I made".

I could feel her pain, I was once there, everyday making application but the employer or is it the hiring team couldn't give any feedback.  Having extra requirements they asked for but still they can't hire you was the pain everyone had to face in this country. The old people had no chance nor space to get out of their on seat and leave them to younger ones.

"I can feel you my dear, but you can come and stay in my place as you look for a job here in the city".

"I will come sooner than you expect dear".

"I hope so, how is Dante by the way?"

Dante was Ruby's lover, they loved each other,that was what I believed. She always spoke highly of the guy, deep down I admired there relationship at a particular angle.

"He is fine".

"When I'm gonna be the bridesmaid my dear?"

My same old question.

"I can't tell, but expect it when you see my finger with an engagement ring, but for now, let's have more patience".

"I see".

"And you, when are you gonna find a person madam? You'll forget how to be romantic and sweet my dear".

"I'm no longer single dear, I didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"That I found a guy, he is cute, faithful with his unconditional love, well , I love him very much so does he".

"So what is his name and where is he from?"

"You know him".

"Really?"

"Yes, you do".

"Tell me how name then, I'll try to remember if you mention his name please".

Well, I was in love, dating and I couldn't bother telling my best friend but that was the funniest thing.

"You just guess and I'll say if you got it or not".

"Tony?"

"Hell No!"

"Erick?"

"No!"

"Those are the one I know, I can't guess anyone else".

She just mentioned the names of my male friends whom she knew, I couldn't date them.

"His name is ..."

"I'm listening, tell me already".

"Jesus Christ!" With that I busted into laughter which I knew she'll be irritated by now.

"Silly girl, I'm gonna hung up the call now".

Poor Ruby she got angry. But she knew me, I wouldn't start dating before I introduce her to the guy. We had long conversation about other things and I had more sleep after my medicines. I slept for sometime and thank God it was already 4p.m. At around this time I saw someone on my door, it was Eugene. So early to have left the work but that was not my business.

He looked at me as if I was dying any minute, I didn't like it when someone gave me such a look but I couldn't say anything. We had coffee and he left to go prepare supper for both of us.

Few hours later I had someone footsteps, I knew it was him, and I had an idea to scare him, I uncovered my legs which were already cold, he touched them, yes he did. Wow! His hands were more warmer on the other hand my body cold. He touched my forehead, that was when I decided to hold my breathe and scare him a little. I heard him call my name severally but I had to stick to my plan, which was ruined when he held me by his arms and had to shake me. I almost giggled but this guy was so frightened, why would he be even scared if I die, I wasn't his relative but his eyes could say untold words.

"Never do that to me again Liza".

"I'm sorry it was just a prank Eugene".

"You shouldn't scare me, especially when you are sick, I thought something had happened to you".

"But nothing did, relax".

He didn't say anything but turned his face away. We had the food, it was tasty, he was a good cook, I wish I could have such food on daily basis, too bad my house was just for coffee and noodle, I had no kitchen to cook my food, no gas, no cooker, no cooking utensils, no microwave, I was living on noodles as the only cooked food.

Time flew by and Eugene couldn't stop checking up on me until I was in good health to get to work. I was grateful that he was a good person, a caring one especially during my weakest moment, his girlfriend or lover must be lucky to have him as a partner. 

I woke up Thursday early, feel better and normal. I decided to have my white suit, trouser and coat, with a black top. I felt the air perfumed with money, it must be a lucky day. I had my coffee and proceeded to work.  I knew there were more pending work, but nothing scared me, I knew how to handle my things.

*THE END*
