They were the most successful dating mates in the school. They were
a perfect match. Every lecture hall including the college's principal knew they
were dating. They were found everywhere together in a manner everyone will have
a cause to be jealous.
I was in first year and they were in second year. I was quite
popular in school because as a freshman, I was almost involved in all forms of
student activism and agitation. Nonetheless, I got closer to these enviable
date mates through a colleague and classmate at the college. He knew the
gentleman in the couple. The guy had a funny nickname that I so much like.
I suddenly became fond of the date mates particularly the gentleman.
Wherever I cross him on campus, I will be shouting out his nickname, heckling
him and obstructing him from going to wherever he was going to. It came to a
point that when he sees me, he will start charting a new path to avoid my
troubles. I played with him like my year mate or gay partner.
At a point I became closer to his girlfriend too. I transferred the
gentleman's treat to her too. Even beyond campus, I played crazily with her
when we meet. The lady will begin begging me for mercy wherever we bump into
each other.
They eventually graduated and I still have the opportunity to meet
them together outside campus especially at events. The crazy relationship I had
with them was still intact. I really don't know but I had an unmoderated
admiration for them - a handsome guy and an pretty affable lady.
After I graduated too, I became friends with the guy on Facebook and
later his girlfriend. One day, his girlfriend uploaded her picture on Facebook
and I came there to put my comments under it. I wrote "Wow, sweet babe, I
miss your succulent lips".
Later in the day, I received a call from her. Her voice was down and
sad. She said, "Confidence, your comment on my picture is creating
problems for me. My sisters-in-law are very upset with the comment. And my
husband is insinuating infidelity on my part." She was very sad and bit
upset too. "I know we use to fool but you know we have grown now and a lot
of things have changed in our lives. I suggest you speak to my in-laws or
husband", she suggested.
Well, I felt very down. This is the last girl I will probably think
of hurting consciously. She was more like my own fiancée. Even back at college
when some of her friends thought her relationship with me was just too
unrestricted as her junior, she was cool with it.
I sensed danger and I rendered an unqualified apology for my
unintended mess for her. I was ready to do everything to return her credibility
back to her husband and in-laws.
Quickly, I went back to the picture on Facebook and deleted my
comments and apologised unreservedly.
I got in touch with her boyfriend whom I still play informally with.
He told me they were no more on grounds of family difference. I felt sadder.
Thereof, I have been very measurable on the kind of comments I put
on the walls of ladies especially when I'm aware that you are very married.
Eventually they both got married to the one God chose for them. Though
I was prepared to lose my head to see them together. As we plan, God also plans
and His plans are the best for us.
