Unrequited:The Series

 Hello, Dia mi!

How are you doing?. I must admit that I have missed you very much. I trust that you have been washing those hands and warding off the negative vibes of COVID-19.

So,it's 2pm and I'm still up(I know I'm a nightcrawler). And the best option was to have a conversation with you😊, which is why I'm here. By this time, I'm sure you're wondering what direction my gist will take. Trust me,you'll be shocked.

Have you washed your hands? Have you wiped them clean? Hey,I caught you! Don't you touch that face. Now, sit back, tighten your seat belt and prepare yourself for an exhilarating ride. Good!

In my last post,I told you how I was subconsciously setting myself up for a heartbreak. Well, that heartbreak was really fast(Sniffles). And it was all my fault. My "Prince Charming" was just a willing victim.

After my meeting,I packed my things,had short conversations with one or two people and moved on with my normal uneventful life. How wrong I was, how terribly wrong. Anyway, I was very hungry after my meeting and was rushing back to my hostel to quickly whip up a meal.

Unknown to me, "Prince Charming" and I were heading in the same direction as his hostel was just minutes away from mine. It was already dark,so I didn't notice him on time. Until my thoughts of delicious meals were interrupted by a quiet " Hi"

I peered into the stranger's face and realized within a second that I had seen him earlier (I'm pretty good at remembering faces). I politely returned his greeting,hoping that he would not try to make conversation. I was honestly very hungry,tired and was not in the mood for small talk.

However,"Prince Charming" persisted in talking to me. In my mind,I was wondering what his palava was but I continued giving replies. All along,I was rolling my eyes and trying to give him hints that I wasn't up for a conversation.

Dia mi, you've been scammed. My last paragraph was a total lie. I know you fell for it😂😂. Come on,I thought I said you were in for a shock. If that was the truth,this gist would not even exist.

In actual fact, "Prince Charming" and I bonded immediately after that first greeting. We talked about different stuff; writing, our university, AIESEC, our favorite subjects and life in general. It was like we were destined to meet. I especially liked his name,because it was unique. We ended our conversation by exchanging numbers.

To all ye dirty minds, I didn't do Idia 101 with him on that day, just so you know😂. Anyway,I wiped him off my mind after our conversation because I thought it was typical of UI boys. They have a rumored reputation of dicing girls' heart. "Prince Charming" however proved me wrong. He called me that night. I was honestly touched sha,but you already know it ended in tears😂😂.

We started talking everyday after that. He would be the last person I texted before going to bed and the first message I saw by morning. He was apparently a nightcrawler like me. It was one of the many things we had in common.

We continued the harmless texting until one day. The day my journey to heartbreak started. It's still a day I regret till today, even though it was a great experience. I'm sure you're wondering what happened.

Now,sit back...  Scam😂😂. I'm stopping here for today because it's really late and your peperempe has to sleep. I promise to give you more eye candy in my next post❤.

Please,wash your hands every 3 hours at least. Do the dab thingy when you want to cough or sneeze. DON'T HUG OR SHAKE!!. Let your egungun be careful😂. Don't forget to leave a thought in the comment section too. 

With love,

Peperempe.
