JUST ONE DAY. By Idris Ehi

 


{“Some are bound to love at the tender age, by loving at the tender age a person stay fresh in peoples memories. If their relationship begins it blossom sweetly and saturated the city before they die, and if they died their memory will live till the end of time."}

ITS FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE 

MORNING AND I WAS STILL SITTING 

ON THE SOFA SEAT OF THE ROOM.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, the rain was dropping down my roof, everywhere was cold and calm, it was releasing the pleasant of the new day across my mind; its really weather for two. The thunderbolt was scaring me right in my room in the upstairs, I moved downstairs yet I was overwhelmed with fear and panic stoling some glances through the window if I could lay my eyes on anyone; to my surprise my eyes cought a creature with multiple heads which silence and cut my breathe. I felt a cold hand on my shoulder which reminded me about every moment with my ex-girlfriend. The atmosphere became inhospitable and life itself became unpleasant for me as all hope was lost. 

I stood up tirelessly and sat on the sofa next to me, for a very long time now I never felt this lonely and helpless like today, all I could imagine was the last time she visited me and promise to make earth a paradise for me. I quoted her "my world and life license, you're all that I have.

"I will risk my life to make you my man and do everything it takes to mount your joy."

"You're all that I ever desired. My light in darkness, your voice is like morning wine, you're my river of love, with you I lack nothing."  

When I retired from the long lasted reminisced, I realized all was just a memory of the past that broke the heart to silence. I left for the  dining sipping my coffee as I  counted my vision, I wondered in thought far off where I was seated arming at my future wife and children and wonderful how my home will be like. I stood up and was walked round the dining to the parlor staring at those flowers in the parlor proposing to it, I knew one day I will find that special queen of my life, just one day! suddenly a pen fell down, which caught my attention and I saw myself standing in front of my television. Then I realized I have gone far in thought of someone so special than gold and silver, the joy and wife of my life. My experience in relationship have never been better neither have I ever met the one who love me just the way I do nor have I seen the expected end. Is my experience preparing me for better relationship or life choice to frustrated me?! I was rest assured that a day will come when the phase of my relationship story will come to end that I will testify.      

Theres something beautiful and sentimental about the way the sunrise looked from the top of my house; blue and yellow flames lick away at the cotton sweetie of the sky. The new day drops rays of lemony shade on the valley below holly berry subdivision, twinkling crystals on the sawyer river in its infinite blue. Its a peaceful moment, those seconds where the crows quiet and allow for the songbirds to call their melody of the morning. I can use all the peaceful mornings I can get- the ones I have left are numbered now. 

I remember the exact moment I met her, she left unsolved condition in my mind and my brain could not function for anything except her thought. It was a high-dripping valve kind of feeling; a nude blackness that covered over my body, a funeral shroud of inky dots that spread like watercolours in a glass bowl. My mind turned into a wet sponge and my skin into a desert of cracks. Everything around me seems like hell, eyes were full with tears down my chest every now and then. Nothing got through my mind except dust and particles of my pass life; and a moment with her. The landlord of my heart, my life wire and the peace of my life; everything about her was the perfect picture of whom I saw in my dream. If I miss her, what will become of me?!

             My spirit was dancing to the tone of the very Aphrodite I saw few days ago, she is a garment of happiness and joy; she spread on me the banner of love from the first sight. I sat down at the edge of my bed crying my pain and worries away, from the very depth of my soul down my eyes and my pillows was wet with tears. The last time I remember crying like that, was when I lost my dearie beloved brother THANKGOD; when I cried and my ribs were echoing making stressful noise from the background. I blame myself to fall in love with someone I barely know and allowed her sight to daze my love. No. I will make my founding by myself till I find the shelter of my home and family.

I  drove down the street at my closing hour, the song played in the next car reminded me every bit of her words and the melody of her voice; I turned thinking she was the one singing in person only to discovered it was the song always in love by ceindion” a guy was playing in his car, I free the stereo and move on. That was the worst experience I ever had. I was wishing I could see her standing before me, in her glorious attraction smiling at me and lay her soft hand on me. Im glad thats not the way Im going to go, staring face down at the shocked expressions of innocent people milliseconds before my vehicle crushes them to death. I thought I guess there are some similarities in the circumstances; Roseline seems a lot more dramatic. But all was out of imagination and bundles of thoughts without conclusion.  

While the sun rose and the songbirds presumably tweeted out, I sat on the edge of the empty bed beside my toil pillow, my occupancy room cleared of anyone who could overhear my prediction. I remember watching my neighbors making their way out of their houses with smiles. I kept watching until each of them where holding their wife and were playing with them like babes, apologized for something they can never do neither changed. I was just wishing I was the one seeing the happiness flowing down my mind and circulated in my body system.

I thought of myself  as if I was not born to love, if not why wouldnt I have seen this girl (Roseline) again the second time to tell her what is on my mind and how my heart beats for her. Oh my God! When will you see me through?! I am down and sick, my mind left me long ago and I am left empty of myself. Do I have to go back to the park and check if she will come again or I should be patience till we meet by chance? No! My heart must search for her and find her for himself and give me the peace that I desires to fulfilled my marital purpose. And to have her in my arms every moment of time and show to her my endless love and value?

The precious thing worth waiting for. I will keep searching till that moment when I will find her beside me with the desiring smile. Sometimes I will be wondering if she is truly a human being or an angel if not why wouldn't I have find her yet. I knew if she is really mine, nature will draw us together and create the pathway for us to meet again another day. Let me waitand see what God will do.

There's nothing really better than shaking off the tiredness with a high-energy without work or a morning run round the park together with your love one with your favorite playlist blasting in your headphones. Holding each others hands and keeping the beautiful smiles on your faces and be telling yourselves stories that make the day memorable, sweet and smoothly, passing through the pathway heading to the sofa seat to chill. Then it's all about that healthy moment of that Friday detox, from blending fresh wine and pizza packed with leafy playgrounds to getting yourself alert back on track. Washing down the long time worries away and install new mood into your life, giving yourself the lovely fragrance of the evening, with an unending smiles and love.

It was just like a dream walking with my fiancée Roseline this moment, the day I have been longing for. we sat facing each other and I held her hand and was rubbing her finger kneel smoothly in adoration.

               Life has a funny way of going. I rolls myself off with a smug and satisfied look on my face, the honey brown of my hair tanged around my shoulders you know how I do keep my hair!. I landed on a pile of castoff blankets, all the throw pillows from my bed blended to the floor in the serenity set when I closed the bedroom door. My dad and mom were playing table tennis in the compound that evening, I thrown one of the pillows at her and she reciprocated. We were catching fun and the fun was going sweetly till I pulls my shirt over my slender body, full of hair and wrestling myself to stay as close to her as I could without actually touching. My words slip across the darkness of her life and piece her heart. She could not really understand what I was up to. She checked if it was the weather that situated me but everywhere was as chill as anything you may think of as the air conditional was performing it duty in the room, she put the wall plasma TV on to draw my attention from what I was intending doing. But I never focus on it, she was wondering what was on my mind just could not figure anything out of her long time envisage. 

I  breathe, the sound caught in her throat somewhere near the back, wishing she had a rollup right now to fully appreciate the sentiment of the moment. But her thought was how I will take it or feels about the atmosphere, she tried her hardest to breathe the clean scent of the bedroom. She was comfortable as she have no additional intention why she was there and.......
