The journey of 10 weeks

Margaret

It was morning and the sun has risen. The winds blow swiftly and songs of birds can be heard from afar. The roads are busy with people moving up and down. Everyone with their assignment and worries of life..

Down the Benjamin street, at No18 a dog lies quietly looking at the by passers as if with its own worries of life. Inside room 5, No18 Benjamin street, the alarm sounded loudly in the semi dark room and a thin long lazy hand stretched out of the blanket perambulate around the table searching for the alarm in just few seconds the sound went off and the hand withdrew back into the blanket. After some minutes the blanket was opened and there lies a tall slim body. Stretching his body then rose up to open the window and as the sun shine through the window as he opens it the room became bright and the person in the rom can be seen.

Its Josh, a tall, slim and dark looking man in his early twenties. He walked into the bathroom, took a tooth brush and brushed his toots walked to the kitchen to make his breakfast. After that he went back to the bathroom to take his bath and then dressed. He then began to pick his books and he rose his head to look at the clock. It is already 8:24 am then looking at the timetable just under the clock, he said first lecture starts by 9 am in a whisper as if there were hundreds of people in the room in which he is trying to talk about a top class secret to his closest neighbor without letting the others know. He picked up the books and dashed for the door.

Hours later Josh was already back into his dark room again. It was already evening and the place is getting dark. He then went for the switch and on the light. He then picked the little paper bag he brought back with and removed a fruit drink and a piece of burger. He ate and drank slowly as if he was on the king’s table. Picking up his phone, he login on f*******: and began to scroll down the screen. Liking and commenting only on posts that looked good and seemed reasonable to him.

As he was scrolling down he paused and his face and countenance changed. Looking amazed with his eyes wide open an d without a blink for almost a minute. He did not scroll down or up neither did he take a bite of the burger nor blink his eyes. He really must have seen something interesting and beautiful. Something that he had not seen in years perhaps he have never seen in his whole life time.

Right on the screen is a dark beautiful looking lady with a smile that can order the sky to rain and the thunder to roar greatly. He kept on gazing at her picture on his screen. At last he exclaimed “oh my God, I can’t believe my eyes. I don’t think that what I am seeing is true but this must be her”. He was debating within himself either she is someone he knows. The name is same with the lady he is thinking she should be but the beauty is that of an angel for she is just like a silky gazelle in an esteem paradise.

Oh my God he exclaimed again can’t believe my eyes. Who am I seeing? She has really changed. For the last time he saw her was when he was about seven years of age. She was his childhood friend. They spent most of the evening times together playing all sort of games with other kids but they always love to be together. But when her parents moved to the other part of the town, it became hard and difficult for them to see each other again and that was how they both grew up and gradually they forgot that they ever had someone like that at a certain point in their life except someone reminds any of them and all thanks to the social media which have now reminded Josh of her Though her beauty played a major role. He was finally tempted to press the friend request button and he did just as his heart has prompted him to.

He then went into her profile and clicked on message and typed “hello”. And went on to look at some of her pictures in which she posted. Just as he was looking at the first picture, a message notification from his f*******: messenger popped up and his body shrieked. His face was looking pale and his mouth was opened the more. It was the young lady that just replied his message with “hi’. He became more quiet and shrieked. Not knowing what to do next. Even though it was him who decided to send the friend request and even went to the extent of sending the first message. For he was full of shyness and lacked what to do. So he just logout and dropped the phone slowly on the table.

Deep into the world of imaginations, Josh was already thinking about the beauty of the lady. How she is endowed with beauty like a gazelle and eye capturing like the lilies of the lakes. He decided to pick up his phone again and login to his f*******: account. “Hmmmm she is still online” he sighed and whispered to himself. Thinking of what to do next either it was best for him to stay online or to logout but something deep inside of him, something that he can’t explain told him to stay even though he don’t know why and he followed his instinct and stayed online. Just in a short while, she then sent another message again and as he opened the message, what was writing was an asterisk followed by snubbing and a question mark at the end of it. He then decided that he is going to reply her even though he have no idea of what to gist with her. then he replied he with “Nope, sorry. Was busy doing some stuff. As he was thinking of what her next reply would be, a thought now come to him which gave him an idea of what to do after her reply. The idea was to keep on chatting with her. First act as if he doesn’t know her or rather he wasn’t able to recognize her that’s if she try to show him that she knows him. As he was thinking that that was the perfect idea, she then sent her reply with “No P”. He lay his fingers on his phone keyboard and sent her a message. After sending the message he re-read what he wrote and it was “ wow you look so beautiful, you have really change a lot. It was hard to recognize you. Just as he finished reading, he placed his fingers on his mouth, covering it fully and not believing that he just went against the idea of not letting her knows that he knows her. She then sent a reply with ” Hahaha you have also changed a lot”. I can’t be live that she have recognized me. O h my God.
