I turned to see two set of puzzled eyes with questions looking at me
Me: what?
Him: Tonia?
Me: oww that OK my name is Tochukwu Esther Igwe but since my senior year in sec sch my friends came up with the Tonia name and its been following me even in the uni" I heaved a big sign cause it takes energy to give that kind of explanation.
Him: wow that's cool OK before we drift your number Queen Esther" he made a funny bow. I laughed as I punched my number into his phone.

PRESENT
The journey to Abuja suddenly seem so long but comforting as it gave me privacy to crunch in my side of the vehicle, left in peace by other passengers I wallowed in my emptiness. I got home and locked myself in my room not wishing to talk to anyone, I was crazy bitter and full of tears. I felt like scrubbing my heart to get rid of the pain of love; cause it was chocking. My frustration heightened when despite how I felt I found myself loving him more and hating myself for loving him. Oww what a life just when you thought you are standing. Everything reminds me of him the music, pictures, adventures we had but I couldn't get why he didn't see me as the one.
Three days later, finally tired of holding myself hostage in my room I decided to talk to the one person that I could trust........
"Dear diary, my heart is so heavy right nw that i think am gonna die, how can such a beautiful thing hurt so terribly? I know you will say I told you so but was it wrong to hope? Was I wrong to love, so here i write to the people who were and still considered the weakest but bear the most tasking and heavy burden to love YOU ARE UNIQUE. To all the ladies whom like me had hoped, whom never got their love reciprocated ,who despite the bitterness still have the strength to love over and over. Know that you are beautiful,you are strong special cause we are created for the purpose to love. And God wouldn't have tasked us if we are not right for it. But I miss you Great"
