Alike episode 6
 
Gina’s wedding was really beautiful, I was in charge of the caterer services including the cakes, I felt so proud of myself, Dad and mom were so happy, everyone was so proud of Gina,
Despite she had a son, Gina never allowed circ-mstances to limit her, God blessed her with a good man and a father figure to Rick, her son.
After everything I returned back to reality,
The house was quiet and empty, Gina and her son are out, I’m left alone in my world,
It felt so lonely, but I will engage my self in different activities so that I won’t feel the loneliness much,
I moved on with life, I slowed down in my hustles and try to give myself a treat ones in a while, I do sit out, go to the movies, visit my parents and siblings, I even started learning how to swim, I made few friends that comes around and we also hangout sometimes
But despite all this, some days I felt so empty, i hærdly admit to myself that i actually needed real love in my live,
I wanted to be all that matters, I wanted to let the world know I’m happy, I don’t really need a man to be fulfilled, but when I’m alone, all by myself I felt like i have being lying to myself,
when a family member or friends ask me when i will settle down or remind me that my younger sister who even had a son out of wedlock is married before me, or remind me of somebody doing better off than me, whenever I’m being reminded of how sad i will be if i grow old alone without husband or children I will become broken,
Although I give it to them back to back, telling them not to fashion my life for me, and stop comparing me to Gina or anybody, my life and race is totally different from there’s,
Sometimes the fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, the strongest warrior does not always win the battle, time and chance happens to everyone,
Well it was Gina’s time mine will come and if it doesn’t then I return back to the creator just same way he created me, void and empty.
My philosophy about life kept me going, everything doesn’t have to end up the way we plan or want it to, but I was determined to make sure I have no regret,
I can’t because of the society pressure end up with the wrong partner that will turn my life into a living hell,
One day I decided searched for the latest movie on my phone, and found out one of the finest most talked about movie will be showing at the Cinema on Saturday, which was the following day, I was very happy, I informed two of my newly made friends and they were happy as we all planed on how to move,
I couldn’t wait for Saturday to come i have already set out my dressing code, tight pencil blue jean, white African girl T-shirt, a pair of white sneakers, a small crossing purse bag, and a spray of fine cologne, I always dress smart, I smiled at my outfit,
On Saturday was the bomb as i dressed up, Simple but cute, I packed my hair up into Bob, leaving few strands of hair to be flying round my face, since i was on curly water wave, I wore my dot silver earrings and a leather writs band, since I’m not a wrist watch person,
I was all set as my two lively friends like me picked me up and off we go
We got there earlier even 30minutes before the movie started, and the movie was super fun packed, I enjoyed every bit of it,
by the time we were done with all the fun, I was already exhausted,
I noticed a young fine man has being looking at me that even my friends noticed and called my attention to it, he looks like he was in his late thirties,
he wasn’t different from others who admired and pass, but he was looking as if i was a strange creature, me and my friends looked at him and boast out laughing but he wasn’t embarrassed, i quickly waved it off knowing fully well that fine men like him are mostly players, I have had enough encounter with his type so it wasn’t a big deal,
We were about entering the mall after the movie when he crossed us and pleaded to speak with me, I know it was a waste of time because fine men are heart breakers but I gave him my attention anyway,
He said his name was James and he was a medical doctor, he chills out every weekend with friends and hærdly visit cinema but he just decided to come today, it was all boring from the beginning because he wasn’t a movie person, he started regretting why he came until he saw me, James said it was the way i smiled and carry myself that attracted him, he said I got charisma and I was beautiful.. Bla bla bla
I didn’t bother to reply his compliments with thank you because I have hærd more than that before, the line of words he was using has being over used by men that I got tired of hearing it,
He asked for my number but i refused to give him he pleaded but i stood my ground he was a handsome man and speaks so well, he probably had a girlfriend or even wife and was looking for another lady to pass time with which will end up hurting the lady,
I’m not in for that, when he saw that he was not getting anywhere with me because i was already working out on in him to go and meet my friends who were waiting he put his Complimentary card into my hand, telling me to please call him, I looked at it and carelessly stuff it into my jean pocket as I walked away and joined my friends,
We left to the mall and i glanced back at him he was still standing and looking at me, he gave me a pleading sign to call him, I laughed at him because he was just wasting his time i wasn’t going to call him anyway, it would have being too rude to throw away his card right in his front, I planed doing that once I’m out of his sight,
After the long fun day with friends at the mall, I returned home, refreshed and went to bed, I slept so well, I wasn’t rushing to anywhere the following day because it was a Sunday,
Monday came i went about my business, the fine man I met at the cinema was totally forgotten by the time I got to Friday.
On Saturday which was already a week after i visited the cinema with my friends, I was doing my laundry and stumbled on Doctor James card, right in my Jeans trouser, which was already socked in water with other cloths, as I stare at it I went to trash it but stop mid way, I suddenly felt like calling him, having an ordinary male friend is not bad, but this time around he will be disappointed if he has evil agenda,
I picked up my phone and called him, the phone rang first time but he didn’t pick up, a good sign for me as i dumped his card in the waste bin, after 5mins he called back and apologised for missing the call before asking me who i was, I was quiet for sometime before telling him we met at the cinema last week,
Before I could complete my statement he scre-med with joy and said he has being praying for me to call him and to meet me again, that God actually answers prayer,
we spoke for long and he was very entertaining, he said he will come pick me up the following day so that we can go for service together, I know he will be coming with a big flashy car, looking at his calibre of person, I can’t be entice with whatever car he comes with but i was looking forward to seeing the kind of car he drives as I set out my dressing code again, I was going to be on high heels since i will be in,side the car I won’t really feel it,
The following day he came after i sent my address to him, but he wasn’t with any car, I was watching from my window, I expected to see him with a fine car looking at his kind of person, and him being a medical doctor, so i was kind of disappointed when he showed up in a motor cycle, he paid the bike man and started walking towards my door, I begin to wonder if we will be jumping from one motor cycle to another, it looks so tiring for me, he could have even come with a cab, which is far preferable than the way he came,
As the motorcyclist dropped him off and zoomed off, I kept watching him from my window, he tapped at my door and I sluggishly went and opened up and stepped outside,
we exchange complimentary and he was really looking cute in his well starched and ironed native,
so we later left, I didn’t allow him into the house since it was just the second time I was meeting him
As we trekked to my bus stop to get a cab or a bike, my heels were killing me, I have to pull it off and wear my sandals, that I usually put in my handbag just in case i get tired of the heels , he was just looking at me and laughing while apologising for stressing me
I started regretting while i even called him or even agreed to go to out with him,
I couldn’t help but asked him about his car or do he intend to be taking me out in a motorcyclist he laughed and said he doesn’t have any car and he just got his license as a qualified doctor last two months after many years of waiting and working for it,
the worst part is that he was even staying with his family, his mother and father and younger ones, he doesn’t have his own place yet…
What in the world I’m i doing with him..
I begin  to ask myself questions that has no answer…
