So I met her in a bar at the lowest point of my life.
Earlier that evening, I was informed about my expulsion from school without no explainable reason. I don't know what to tell my aged mum, who suffered and labored to send me to school all on her own, I was the only child but she never made me feel alone. She hustled and struggled to make ends meet after the demise of my father.
I remember vividly, I as on my third glass of tequila when this stunning girl in a red velvet dress, walked in full of smiles, I was pissed off immediately. I mean, how can I be sad and this "wan" is happy?
She came to my seat immediately, she tried to talk me and I cut her off without a second thought. I was drunk. Way over my limit and I liked it. I left in the bar swaying and swerving. I didn't know how I got home.
Its a beautiful sunny Saturday morning and I'm still nursing the hangover from last night.
I sat up immediately, I was on my bed, with my cloths different from what I wore last night. My room arranged in a manner I didn't know, but it was neat and tidy
I dragged myself off bed to get a bottle of milk to numb the pain. Everything started playing back like a movie in "reverse-biase".I suddenly remember the lady in red. " Damn, I was rude to her". A knock on my door jolted me off my thoughts, I wasn't expecting anyone, not this early. I opened the door and to my surprise, it was the lady in red from the bar. " I brought your drunk ass home last night, bath and changed your cloths, your room was in a mess so I did all I could" she said. "And don't worry, i didn't see anything" she said this looking at my groin . I was dumbfounded and couldn't say anything for some minutes. She let herself in, sat in my plastic chair and drank my milk with authority. "I'm going to like this girl"
He name was Faith, a third year banking and finance student. Apparently, she heard about my expulsion and wanted to find out from me, she's a member of the news crew on campus hence the intuition. She said " I hope I forgive you for last night, but I'll let it pass. Am Faith and you know why am here " I regaled her about my involvement in some protest in school which eventually led to my expulsion. I had no food at home, I invited to lunch but she declined with a scorn on her face. She left afterwards without saying much about herself. All I know is, she's a student of this school and I like her.
Days went by, weeks followed and I couldn't keep Faith out of my head. I had to bribe the crooked portal of her hostel before I could have her number, she didn't sound surprised when I called her later that day, she said " I was actually expecting your call, how bout that lunch tomorrow?" I jolted up with joy that I didn't know I still had. I totally forgot about my predicament in school "That'll have to wait".
I met her at a plush restaurant at the outskirt of school, we had lunch, talked at length too. From our conversation, I found out she's single and not searching. I was mesmerized by the way she carried herself and spoke about things I thought I knew alone. You know those topics you just " take like that " because no one could really explain it well, she wes eloquent and well versed in a lot of things. I fell in love at that instant.
I pestered her for months with no positive result. She friend-zoned me totally. I confessed my love more times that I could count but Faith was "faithful" to herself, or so I thought.
Then I received the second most shocking news of my life.
I received a wedding invitation from her, she was to marry her Dad's business associate who just finished from the UK. I got the letter on a very cool Saturday evening after Manchester united walloped Chelsea, then I started sweat, I called her immediately, she laughed and told me its beyond her powers. She reminded me of how she told me to stop with my advances. "Its not like am heartless but some things are way too complex to understand, I don't love you like you love me. But I pray you find someone worthy" she ended the calk but I could still hear her voice in my head, replaying everything she's ever said to me
That night, I went back to the bar I met her, hoping she'll come through the door. Hoping this was one of her many jokes, hoping my head my toying with me. Hoping and praying its all a bad dream
She never did......

*Afterthoughts
"" Loving someone that doesn't love you in return is the most beautiful feeling in the world
There's nothing like the power of unrequited love, it isn't shared unlike other bounds.
Its yours and yours alone to feel
And that is your power""
