It is sad to know that The COMedy Rumble challenge ends today, it has been awesome participating and engaging in the best way time permits me but I enjoyed interacting with the community and I hope we have more of this contest in the future.
To round up the contest, I decided to make one more post. I am not sure if it still counts but there is nothing bad in sharing this just to make you smile.
It is very funny to know that breakfast is no longer the meal we eat in the morning to many Nigerians, I am sure if you ask what breakfast means, she might tell you - " it is the medium used in telling you that it is over in a relationship".
A meal that is supposed to be satisfying has become something that brings sadness and tears. I use to be an unserious lover, what's the need for a relationship is the question that I ask myself from time to time when I was a teenager. I toyed with my admirers feelings, I didn't want to reject them so I just play along with them.
I am not bad, I was immature and didn't know it was wrong to do so. It was fun laughing about the silly things I did then not knowing karma truly exists, or you don't believe it?
I met this beautiful girl at one of the family's homes where I did afternoon coaching for kids, she fell in love with me after our first hello. I actually thought I was possessed because I am ugly but they usually don't mind that.
She was tall, dark, beautiful and from a wealthy home, I wasn't ready for it and I decided to play the game again. Our frequent communication made me fall in love with her, I became dedicated and was really into the relationship.
I started learning how to be a good lover, I do listen to relationships programs on the radio and there was a particular one we do listen to at midnight. We listen to it in our various homes every night and we talked about the points discussed.
Everyone knew I was in love because I wouldn't leave my home to her area by pressing my clothes, love can really make you do silly things.
After a few months, I became suspicious that she lied about some things to me so I asked her and she agreed to tell the truth. Firstly, she was two years younger than what she claimed to be but she had the stature of an adult, the other lie is personal.
I got pissed and decided to break up with her because she was too young, it was hard because of the feelings I have developed for her. I intended to tell her the next day and while listening to a relationships program at midnight, something happened.
The listeners are allowed to send a text message that would be read on air, people mostly send an apology message and others to their lovers through the program.
I heard my name and was surprised, I thought she wanted to apologize for the lies but to my greatest surprise, it was a breakfast served on a gold plate.
The program anchor paused and was like "wow, this is too much to be said on air but she hopes the people involved can figure it out. Your girlfriend actually sent a breakup message for us to read on air but we can't do that, we are sorry".
I was shocked, called her but she didn't pick up.
She sent the message directly to me and I was like do I really deserve this? because I was only trying not to ruin our future.
I eventually knew how I made other girls feel, the incident changed my orientation about relationships. I reached out to her years after and we became friends again, she was mature enough to understand why I was pissed about the lies but it doesn't change how I was served my first breakfast.
I agree love can make people do stupid things in life and this thing got me wondering why people still choose to cheat no matter how much you try to satisfy them, please don't laugh at what you are about to read because I am not proud of what I did.
I got into another relationship and I brought the energy from the previous relationship, it was perfect. It was a distant relationship but it was cool because we communicate from time to time.
Her birthday was approaching and she told me she hasn't gotten a birthday gift before in her life, I wanted to make the day special for her so I did something.
A few days before her birthday, I sold my phone for $18 because I couldn't raise the money to buy her gifts. I got a small used phone for $10 and used the remaining $8 to buy her gifts.
She was happy about it and that same day, a working-class guy who she claimed to be her friend bought her a new android phone worth $100. Today, they are happily married with kids.
I believe love comes naturally but when there is no money to maintain it, it gradually shrinks until it is gone.
