Beyond beauty III
It was written on four cardboards, which were held high by four people with broad smiles, like it was their bonus to him for using their services. I was too astounded to utter a word. There was a soothing rhythm of a familiar song accompanied by the harmonious voices of Chike and Flavour in the background, and immediately I felt the stillness of the air around me. I couldn'+ believe my eyes: he was so attentive and intentional. I had mentioned that "Hard to Find" was my best love song the week before, and he made sure he incorporated it into his plans. I said yes immediately, and his eyes lit up as he drew me into a warm embrace and muttered "Thank you".
When I had the chance, I told Monica about it, and she was so happy for me. Our relationship was so sweet that it gave me a runny stomach on some days. chuckles** One day. Monica sent me pictures of Kunle and a very beautiful girl in a restaurant. As soon as I saw it, I couldn't feel my legs. I immediately sent the pictures to him, and he started trying to apologise that it was his ex-girlfriend. that they had nothing going on, that he met her at the restaurant, and I wasn't having it.
I blocked him and drowned in my own pool of tears for weeks.
Monica didn't exactly make forgiving him easy, either. She kept shouting. "You're worth more, Ore'." Weeks rolled into months, and I didn't hear anything from Kunle anymore. I decided to move on, and I consoled myself that he wasn't for me. I picked up my phone this evening and started viewing people's statuses on WhatsApp. I saw Monica's picture on her sister's status with her left hand held high, almost covering her face with the intent of showing the diamond-encrusted ring dazzling on her fourth finger with the words "congratulations" flagged with an assemblage of emoticons, and I couldn't be more surprised. I immediately went to check her status, and I was filled with bewilderment when I saw who she was engoged to. Guess who she's engaged to? Yeahl You guessed right.
