rat-a-tata!...

I kept still on my bed. who might that be as I questioned myself. I heard the knock on my door again..

rat-a-tata!!

who's there? It's me Maro!. come in as I responded to invite him in. Maro, You shouldn't have knock that way because You are not a stranger to me anymore.

Yes! I know that Rosie but remember, I told you earlier that I'm coming to check on you later in the day or where you thinking that it was one of those.... one on those what! as I said interrupting. Can't you be patient enough for me to finish up my statement. there's no need for you to complete your statement because I've already known where you are heading to.

But Rosie! as he stump his feet reluctantly on the floor. You can't continue this way. It's time for you to pick one out of all these guys tripping in because you will be graduating soon. I know quite alright Maro, In all these guys coming to my room, I haven't seen.....

Seen what! Rosie huh! the one the with a heart that you can find "a place called home!" come on Rosie, This mystery man you are searching for, Can you actually get it? come to think of it, you need someone that can take good care of you. what about Elvis, Please don't mention that name again to my hearing... why won't I? because the last time he came to room, he was with a condom and telling me how big his manhood is. So tell me Maro, is that supposed to be a criteria for a man to win a lady's heart? wao ..... that's way out of it so Absolutely No! Rosie.

So that is out of the list now Rosie!. what about the one that came before the commencement of this exam that actually spent one week with you....what is he called again?... Emmy! as I said to recall his memory. Yes Emmy

Oh! Maro... Emmy is my ex boyfriend and my first date from senior secondary school. Emmys case is worse than others. now let me tell you all about Emmy and I

we started dating immediately after my secondary schooling. I was so naive as at then but I stood my ground of being a virgin till marriage. I guessed he thought that, after I have fallen deeply in love with him, I would give it up. but to his surprise, the more we stayed in the relationship, the more I giggled my purpose and objectives to him. after few months he started double dating and didn't want to let me know about it but as time goes on, the news was all over the places about him cheating me. then I confronted him.. all I could hear him say was "it's over between us"

this made my heart aches for so long. so I took the boldness and moved on with my life. but all this time, he kept following me up on socials and finally felt contrite to his actions but it was too late. the reason he came and spent one week with me was for him to see if he can actually won me over but it's not working out with me. I don't feel comfy with his person...I searched his heart thoroughly then I found out that he's not the one for me but this time around, I was the one that told him "it's over between us" and there's nothing he can do about that again. Never Maro! and I meant it.

wao ...! You amazes me Rosie! a lot of people out there are with this mind set about you but they wrong. You are truly a woman with virtue. Don't worry too much Rosie, you will definitely get this person you are searching for.

Sure! Maro. humm!.. least I forgot, I meant someone at the examination hall monday. I felt different with him and it was as if we've known each other for long. It's Okay! Rosie, it's time for you to get some rest now. you get well soon so that you can tell me all about this guy that made my Rosie feel different.
