MY BESTIE & I.

©️Sha Ron ✔️
(My birthday gift )
We wrote our West Africa Exam together in our school.
My report stunned me, I felt happy that after everything I am the one that got 5 straight As and 4 Credits with a wonderful remark from the school principal.
My parents were happy, my dad hosted a party for the celebration of my hard work, but he disappointed me, he wasn’t even present at the party and my mother too.
All they know is work and work, what about a lonely girl that wants to see her parents smiling down at her proudly like every other parents out there?
I did feel bad, but my bestie told me; “everything they are doing is for your own good. They really love you and want the best for you”
I hugged him for those words and the party was a blast with him by my side and his parent’s good wishes clung to my soul.
The school graduation ceremony was also amazing. But he met a girl, the girl came to our graduation with her brother, she caught his attention and he looked distracted all through that day.
I felt sad. I didn’t need to be told that he’s attracted to her and my stomach churned at the thought of watching him staring at another girl.
He felt unsettled, but he didn’t get a chance to talk to her, honestly, I felt jealous and I was happy when he wasn’t able to get close to her.
After that day, the few days that followed were normal.
He’s an extraordinary person.
A handsome fella. Every woman’s dream.
He became an apprentice since he gat no money for school, while I continued my school at UNILAG.
He came to visit me in school after we spent two years apart, he’s too busy with work while I’m busy with my studies!
But as busy as we are, he doesn’t fail to call me each and every day to tease me and he’s always online chatting with me.
You need to see the moment he got into my school, gosh!
I couldn’t believe my eyes, he has grown beared and has changed alot.
Now, he’s over handsome! He’s taller and so broad chested that I didn’t recognize him at first.
He’s much more compared to the pics he sends me on social media.
But you know I can’t forget such a gorgeous and breathtaking face, I ran into his arms and he lifted me off my feet and we twirled in the air for moments before we were snapped back to reality by the attentions we drew to us.
I took him to my hostel and all my friends ran around him like flies, they all want his number and I can’t help feeling jealous when he mingled with them.
I made his favourite food for him and he gave me a gift after eating, he didn’t forget to tease me that I haven’t learnt how to cook.
I opened his gift and it’s a male cloth, the same clothe he’s wearing and the same canvas as well.
He told me to get dressed in them so we would go out as we used to before.
We looked like brothers. Instead of a boy and a girl going out, it’s like a boy and his elder brother going to dinner.
Funny how he still remembers that I like dressing like a boy and I like somewhere quiet and peaceful.
He took me to a tennis court and gave me another gift which he says is for my birthday.
My birthday was last week and he only wished me well while he promised to come, and here he is.
I opened it and boom! It’s a romantic novel from my favorite author, a pen that bears my name and a blank paper…
My bestie is the best, he never forgets my interests.
Now, I will read that beautiful love story, and take notes! Then, I will go and create mine.
If you want to make me happy on my birthday, please buy me a romantic novel or tell me a love story.
Love is always real and genuine in stories and movies!
Even after break up, they still make up but in reality.
Hmmmm…who knows, I believe more in fantasy than reality.
TBC.
