The Unreturned love

in #hive-1707989 days ago

Greetings!

The story started in the year 2018, but before then, I was a shy guy that has never approached a lady in my entire till the year I met a lady on campus, her name is Aanuoluwapo, I met with this lady when I was in my first year at the university and immediately I saw her in the lecture room, I fell in love with her, maybe a love at first sight, I don't know, but one thing I can never deny was my emotion for this pretty and simple dressed lady. How do I approach the lady? Was the question bordering my mind, and this was because I have never engaged a lady talkless of wooing a lady in my 27 years of existence. So, one thing I did was to be the lady's best friends. In the process of being her best friend, I made sure I was very close to her and her to me, we were very close and people knew it from afar. People even thought we were already dating, but it was not so.

So, as days turned week and week into month, I was no longer comfortable to being an ordinary friend with this beautiful angel, so, on a particular day, I decided to summon courage and I called the lady to come online via her WhatsApp, since I could not approach her physically due to my shy nature. So, when she came online, I didn't really know where to start from or even what to say, and this is because I was not ready to get a NO for an answer from her, I was afraid and emotional about every, even before professing my love to her. Less I forget all this happenings was a week before my first year second semester exam. So, I summoned another courage and this time around, I profess my love for her not even minding what the outcome would be. In my professing of my love to her, our conversation goes thus;

                                 Me : Good morning Aanu.
                                  Aanu; Good morning,  how are you?
                                  Me ; There's something I want to tell, but I don't know how and where to
                                           start 
                                  Aanu ; then start somewhere.
                                   Me; I don't if we can be friends 
                                  Aanu ; but we are friends already now
                                  Me ; I mean, I want us to me more than a friend, 
                                  Aanu ; How do you mean?
                                  Me ; I love you and I want us to be together 
                                 Aanu ; Haa! Samson,  I have someone already and besides I don't see us 
                                               together.
                                 Me ; Haaa, Aanu, please consider me and I will take care of you. 
                                 Aanu ; there's nothing I can do. We are better as friends
                                 Me ; whom are you engaged to?
                                 Aanu ; Jesus christ.
                                 Me ; Haa.

So, the conversation ended and after that, I was weak and could not even do anything. That day of our conversation was on a Saturday and it's so difficult for me to prepare for the sunday service the following day. So, I couldn't attend the church service the following day just because of the NO being said by the lady in question. Not quite long, we started our exams and the emotional breakdown I witnessed with Aanu really got to me while writing the my exams as I could not performed to the best of my level. Remember all of our chats and conversations were on WhatsApp and since then, we never had any kind of conversation due to what happened and I was afraid to see her in person, though there's no way I could do this coz we are writing the same exams. But one thing I did was to avoid her if need be.

After the exams, we all went our separate ways to our separate homes, but still, my love for her still persist and on ap particular evening, I chatted with her and I told her, to reconsider me, but she replied me by saying," she's not ready for any relationship now, as she would be ready when she about to get married.". When she said this, I told her we should start now so, as to get to know each other better, but she wouldn't agree as she said she did not wants to commit sin with me, but I told her I'm not the type that will be demanding her body, but she declined all my entreaties. Later, and there at home, the results of the exams written were released and I performed below my standard and expectation, but thank God I didn't carry over any course. But as for my love for her, it's already a carry over. Seriously, LOVE IS POWERFUL.

Later, I was getting over the shock response, but with that, and because of my love for her, I still continue to pester her and send emissaries to her to convince her for me, but with all my advances towards her just for her love, all was to no avail, as she was hell bent on her not returning my love for her. It's was a very serious issue but what can I do?

Aftrr resumption and on one occasion, after I have sent a friend of mine to him, she sent the guy back to me, he told solomon who happened to be my course rep, that I was a coward and he can't date a coward. He said I should stop sending people to her and that instead, I should approach her in person. So, my friend Solomon reported everything she said to me. After getting the report, I called her and we both fixed a date to meet.

So, on that fixed particular date, we met at the faculty of law basement of the school and there at the basement, I told her all I chatted with her on phone, I even told her how much i loved her and that she's the first person i would be professing my love to. Immediately i told her she was the first person i would be talking love to, she bursted in laughter and said, "anyways, Samson, you can be serious, as old as you are, how can i be the first person you would be professing love to, well, that doesn't mean anything to me." She said" thank God you have started. But like I said earlier, I don't see us together. " when she repeated this same statement she had said on WhatsApp, I got cold and down as my camel straw has been broken once again, I begged him to change her mind, but she wouldn't as she has made up her mind already.

What happened next? So, after all my effort has been proved abortive, I decided to leave her alone, I did this by avoiding her, even in class, I stopped engaging her in any form.of conversation and online , I blocked her. It was a serious matter, but man must move on. But with all these my effort of doing without her, I could not and anytime I see her mingling or have conversation with other guys in class, I i get disturbed and lose focus. So, as a result, I decided to change where I and my friends used to sit. Though it was not convenient leaving the seat, even my friends were like, why do you want to change your seat, I said there's nothing, but they all knew what was going on. So, I changed the seat and started sitting on the other row. And that was how I was able to overcome the stress of the unreturned love. Thank God, i later met with another lady that I got married to, I'm now enjoying my marriage and my unreturned love was returned to me

Thanks for reading.
