"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. " - Albert Einstein
EPISODE 23
In my life I have never had such beautiful kiss before, it was like I was in another realm or rather another planet entirely.
The kiss lasted for 5 minutes but it seems to me like it was 5 seconds .
I stared at Nifemi as she withdrawn from the kiss, she kinda look to the other side, I assume she was shy, anyway I didn't tried to kiss her, It just happened, maybe it's fate binding us together, not really sure but time will tell.
" I am sorry " I apologize.
" it's not your fault, I shouldn't have responded to the kiss, I am just carried away, you have a girlfriend and you shouldn't been seen sitting down here with me, I don't want to complicate issues between you and Elena " she said and stood up about to take her leave, I quickly held her hand.
" I don't care what Elena thinks anymore, she had made her choice, she is not going to forgive me , and the last thing I need is losing a good friend like you, you can only complicate issues if you leave now " I poured out to her, leaving a satisfactory smile on her amiable face.
" Thanks " she said with a smile.
We continue our Gist, we talked till it got to 6:30pm before we both called it a day and left to my our respective hostels .
I found out that her father was a senator and she was the only child of her parents.
She was really fun to be with, she made me forget all my worries .
I went to my hostel, I quickly took my phone from where I kept it., I saw a whatsapp notification I quickly clicked on it and it reads.
" Thanks for making my day, I really enjoyed every seconds I spent with you, do have nice sleep and a nice day ahead.... " sender Nifemi.
I smiled seeing the lovely massage.
" yeah me too me, you are truly a rare gen, you made me forget all my sorrows " I replied and dropped the phone on my reading desk.
I quickly brought out my economics and government test book to read, because we would be having our exams next week so I gotta prepare.
I read for about 2 hours before I decided to called it a day, I quickly climbed on the bed and drafted to a deep slumber.
I woke up the next day, did my normal routine and dashed out to school, by the way the school would be closing in two weeks time, although it's just two weeks holiday we would be having.
I walked to the class after the assembly, I met Elena, i greeted her but she didn't reply, she just eyed me and walked to the class sitting close to the snoop.
"what she was doing was really breaking my heart, I know we broke up, but that doesn't mean she should start mingling with the snoop making people to see me as a failure.
School was just lively because we were doing revision and Nifemi and I sat down together discussing , I could see Elena starring at us, but I don't give a dame about that after all she started it, hers was even worst, she was mingling with an enemy, i regretted receiving beatings from the snoop because my efforts just seems as a waste to me .
Suddenly a junior student came to the class.
" Best miss gift sent for you " the young lad said.
I could hear some people gossiping and whispering to themselves .
" Go and meet your girlfriend, lover boy " James joke while everybody busted into hysterical laughter including Elena, I angrily left the class and went to her office .
This woman is just making life miserable for Me, why can't she just let go off me" I said myself.
I walked to her officer and sat down on the chair.
expecting her to asked her obvious questions while I rendered an obvious answer to her while she obviously shout out me, telling me the obvious consequences.
But guys this is not funny even as funny as it might sound, they must be and obvious reasons or her obvious problem. **** too many obvious.***
" Ma please I want to asked you a question " I said to her while she looked at me in surprised before she nodded her head for a go ahead..
" what did you see in me that you can't find in anyone. " I asked taking her by surprised, I guess she never expected that kind of question from me.
She breathed heavily before facing me.
" See best the reason why I am deeply in love with you, is because you remind me of my late finance, who died last year. " she said. Her words hit me like an atomic bomb making me to stared at her in awe.
" what happened to him " I curiously asked .
" The had an accident a week to our wedding " she replied while tears was dripping down to her cheek.
I quickly used my handkerchief to wipe her tears, in other for her to continue her story.
" But how does that have to do with me " I asked sounding perplexed.
" my fiance was just exactly like you, just that you are the smaller version, you reminds me of him, when I saw you the first day you came to school which you came late, I was dumbfounded cus you guys look alike, you have the same red lips, the same face, and the same mesmerizing voice I could not but fall In love with you. " she replied while tears were forcing their way back to her eyes .
I quickly stood up and came to hug her while she sobbed on my shoulder. I felt pity for her, I know how it feels losing someone who you love, someone you who you've planned to marry in a week time, what could be worst than that?
" You don't have to be sad again, you have to let me go of me so that you could forget about his memory, because I remind you of him. being in love with me will only do more harm than good, the best thing is for you to avoid me and let's this infatuation you have for me die. " I said to her and patter her on her back.
Evan though I said those words just to escape from her, but that's the truth, she only fell in love with me because I reminds her of her late finance.
So tell me if that is love.
There is one thing I learnt about her story , which is everybody has a reason for their actions, so do don't judge anybody except you knew his or her reasons
I left her office feeling relief, like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulder.
I walked to my class and behold Elena who was walking to my direction.
"Best " she called as she came close to me, I halted and face her in great astonishment.
What does she has to say? I thought to myself as I stared at her thinking what she wanted to say to me.
To be continue
