So its about 5 months before i hear from Osas again, this time its via social media and yahoo chat was the in thing then so we all had to hook up to it. i was working at the Lagos office of MTV base at the time so my schedule was out of this world, but i still made out time to chat with him everyday. we didn't have '"PING" in those days but we sure had 'BUZZ' and trust me it worked perfectly fine and served its purpose.
On a wet and drizzly Wednesday morning i receive a late chat message from him saying he was in Nigeria, to say i was elated was an understatement, i was stricken with JOY. finally i get to see my besty, lover and darling once again. for me it was the best news for the year.
I quickly booked a flight from Lagos to Abuja that evening so i could go see my love, but lo and behold it wasn't what i expected, he had changed. he was now more secretive, egotistic and .....other things that i couldn't decipher.
I wasn't one to sit and take shit from anyone so i blanked him for the first 2 weeks of his arrival in Nigeria. i was shuttling to and fro to make sure i stayed within reach in case he decided to drop his foreign attitude and be my besty again. sad shocker.... he never did. so when he was about to leave back to Malaysia i didn't bother to see him off. once more my Osas was lost to me again.
A year later, water had passed under the bridge, he obviously had dated quite a few ladies and i guys too, but something was missing. this wasn't something i could place my hands on very quickly, i searched my heart and head for explanations to what i might have been looking for.
1.friendship- this was something i didnt have with the other guys
2.humour - some had it but couldnt really communicate properly
3.integrity.....self explanatory
long and short of the story 2 years laterOsas comes back and life takes a nose dive into one of the best friendship and relationship i ever had. we had an extra 3 years of fun and beauty, bonding and life altering moments. it wasn't all rosy but the moments made us and carved out the very best from our lives.
Needless to say we didnt end up together but the bond still remains evergreen and strong. we got each others backs and as unfair as life was to us, we still making the best use of it.
am sure you'll ask me in all these where did i find the love and strength to keep on and how does all this translate to happiness? simple... find your friend and marry them. i didn't do that for myself, but then i have learnt from my mistakes. xoxo
i aint there yet but i am not where i used to be. Persistence and perseverance with the hands of God brought me this far. So why throw in the towel, Give up on life and all that you have been given freely by God to do?…
