“…. Oh my God! how could I have allowed myself to rub buttoms
with the porcupine? Nevertheless, it is said that it’s only a fool
whose testicles are stepped on twice. How could some humans be
so heartless and cruel to their fellow humans? You present and
project yourself as an angel of God sent from above whiles you
just cover yourself with a sheep’s cloth and wear the heart of a
wolf. Hmm, some people just have wickedness ingrained in their
veins. “I sat with a bleeding heart under the tree in front of the
house thinking aloud. I just saw myself to be fooled and falsely
accused of messing myself up. In no time, the clouds began to
gather. They did so quickly that one would have thought they
were under the spell of an esoteric being. It was accompanied by
heavy winds so I decided to go into the room. I dashed into my
bedroom and lied on my bed feeling very frustrated and
devastated. Little did I know that I would fall asleep in a few
minutes. I saw myself in a forest doing ‘only God knows’, when
this hungry young antelope spotted me from afar and rushed my
way. I never knew I could win an Olympic Marathon race until
this moment when my speed increased faster than the antelope.
Looking at things, there was no one around to help so I made up
my mind to stop and fight it. “Hey, hey, Johnny! What is the
problem with you?, wake-up. Why? Is the world crashing on you?
“
Xorsenyo, my colleague from work came into the room to check
on me.
With some terrible fear and panic, I woke up. “Xorse, it’s you.
When did you enter into the room? Charley, it wasn’t easy oo, I
was having some bad dream. But answer me, how did you enter?”
“You left the door open and besides that, I overhead you shouting
for help when I entered the hall so I decided to come into the
bedroom to see what was going on probably, Sis Enyonam is
canning you so that I can plead on your behalf. Haha. Look at
you, ‘ _you dey here dey dream_’ “. he explained. “Charley, I was
dreaming about some antelope chasing me in a thick forest. Let’s
leave that for now. How was work today?”, I asked. “Where is
your wife, Enyonam?, and why has everything changed in your
room like this?”, Xorsenyo asked.
Me: Xorsenyo, hmm, I went to marry a wolf which was nicely
dressed and packaged in a sheep’s clothing. If you care to know,
I’ve sent her away to wherever she came from.
Xorsenyo: You did what! Has the antelope in your dream finally
gotten hold of you and affected your reasoning level? What did I
just hear you rattle like that?
Me: Man, you heard me loud and clear. I’ve sacked her, if that
would make comprehension easy for you. She is just a gold
digger. I don’t know why her parents didn’t name her Golder.
Xorsenyo: Hey!, my friend watch your tongue . Have you forgotten
my lady’s name is Golder? But What has come over you? After
that expensive and ceremonious wedding which is not yet a year
old?, or have you forgotten so soon that you proclaimed in public
that for better for worse, and till death do you apart?
Me: For better for worse my foot. So I should allow my head to be
chopped off before I know the chains are tightening my neck, is
that what you are insinuating? My friend I need to be a man.
Look, that lady who claimed her name is Enyonam is not real. All
these while she was just hiding her true identity *behind a mask.*
Xorsenyo: Seriously I’m lost and surprised to be hearing this from
a whole you, our love doctor. So was that why you didn’t come to
work today? You, let’s put work aside and tell me what exactly
went on.
Me: Hmm. My man, I’m not in any good mood to narrate
anything to you now. I’m just not myself. I wish you could give
me some time to be alone and relax my muscles. I will tell you
everything after work tomorrow. But I believe manager was not
very furious at me for not coming to work today?
Xorsenyo: Forget about that man. I just don’t know what type of
human being he is. He always suspects people for doing nothing.
Can you imagine that he misplaced the internal memo given to
him personally and he’s blaming me for that? Charley put
yourself together. I will come back later in the evening to check
on you. But you better go back for your wife oo. I don’t agree to
what you are telling me.
******************
Many of us are allured by the notion that effortless relationships
exist. Whether it been happily ever after marriage, or friendship
that last forever, or parent/child bond which supersede the need
to believe and understand each other, we’d all like to believe that
our most intimate relationships are unconditional and strong
enough to withstand whatever may come.
There is this popular saying that, love is blind. Well, that can be
true if we enter into such relationships with all our heart leaving
our brains behind. We can only see what the future holds for us
if we should exercise a little bit of patience to study each other,
taking into consideration, the other person’s personality trait and
comparing its compatibility to our own personality trait and
strike the level of harmony between the two. With that, we will
be able to determine the future of the relationship from it’s
budding stages as we rule out unnecessary disagreements and
unhealthy suspicions.
Out of experience and with issues of relationship, I will want to
share my history with you so you can be well informed before
what happened to me, happens to any of you.
Many of us hide behind the mask of lust and give impressions
that do not match who we really are. I wish I can turn back the
clock to have a new beginning. Anyway, at some point in our
lives, most of us need to face the fact that relationship requires
effort to keep it strong and positive and even wonderful. We need
to understand our own personality trait and that of our partner
to achieve this goal.
You can call me John but my friends prefer calling me Johnny.
I’m only 32 years of age and I work as an Internal Auditor. I do
ponder over this question, “Is man by nature, good or evil?”.
Yeah! this is because I’ve come to the realization that, as human
as we are, we are very unpredictable. Well, the good book in
Isaiah 45:7 says, “I form the light and create the darkness, I bring
prosperity and create disaster; I, the lord do all these things.”
Follow me to the next episode let me walk you through how it all
started and why I’m very bitter within myself.
