I MET MY LOVE

 

We really find love in hopeless places.So my big man passed when I was 14.what a sad way to start a romantic story.Fast forward,we were close,so I found solace in visiting our favourite spot and chilling with his favourite Rhumba trucks(I still do).He embraced 12600 litres and Bourreau Deg Couers by Franco Luambo.

This spot resembled a solid first place art gallery in Paris.I used to carry flowers and place them there.

After several visits,I realised someone else had a spot next to mine.Unlike mine,this strangers spot had no flowers.Just signs of chocolate and heavenly refreshing scents of cologne.

Nice but I had a lot of questions.I felt bad for my unknown friend.This friend had no flowers.Or maybe this friend couldn't afford flowers.But did this friend love flowers in the first place? I suppose yes because she loved chocolates and heavenly refreshing colognes.

On my next visits,I started carrying 2 flowers.One for my spot and one for the unknown friend.I never mentioned this to anyone.It was a private joke with myself.Who the hell makes the world a better place with flowers?Sounds weird.

I wonder if we had a hidden connection between us.Did we share a dad?Did this stranger know about me? Something was secretly drawing me to this stranger. 

I came up with a strategy.I started doing random untimed visits.

One afternoon,I find a full bar of chocolates on my spot. Improvements.

I'm not so bothered since I don't even know who this is.I just start listening to Rhumba while fantasizing about the good old days.Just a few days ago,I could cry on this spot.Now I can remember the past and manage a smile. Time really heals.

Just as I was about to leave,a pretty girl appeared behind me.A typical African woman.Just what you would wish in your girlfriend.She wants to know what we are and why I've been leaving flowers on her spot.

I explain and she says it's okay,that sounds weird but sweet.This is no telenovela folks.

She is eating a burger.

I quickly crack a stupid joke. "Its burger week but why isn't my meat between your buns?" She looses it.This girl can laugh.Who told pretty girls with cute smiles they can drain why wealth coz yes,they can.

She gives me a hug and I ask her out Incredibly,she said yes.2 years later,she says no when I ask her to marry me because I am single and this story might be how I meet my wife.
