THE JOURNEY OF LIFE


 *THE RELATIONSHIP* 


 *Episode 18* 


Opemipo could not stop thinking about Tolani. Every night, he stared at her pictures to behold her beauty with amazing curves.


One night, he checked through her Facebook profile, to get her number since she refused to give him her number. Though, she desist people that does it but he didn't care about what she could say. He really loved her and he needed to speak with her urgently. 


Tolani was with Rebecca when her phone rang. Sometimes, Rebecca sleeps in their house. She checked the time; it was 10:00pm.


"Who is this? Why is this person calling by this time? She said as she reduced the volume of the phone and hanged the call to avoid daddy's trouble and unnecessary questions.


Rebecca was about to sleep, but she got distracted by the call as she stood up and said "Why didn't you pick your calls? I understand you are scared of daddys actions, if he finds out but there is a way you could speak without him hearing you"


Tolani thought about it as her phone rang the second time.  

She picked up as she asked softly "Please who am I speaking with?


Opemipo became scared, though her voice was charming but he was feeling guilty.


He stammered as he said "It's me Opemipo Adebiyi. We attend the same school"


"Ooh... Ope. Wait!! How did you get my number? She asked as she was curious to know because she didn't remember giving him.


At this point, Opemipo was struggling to answer and he said "I got your number from Facebook. I know you are angry with me but please, do not hang up. Listen to me; I just want to know how you are doing. You have not been online for weeks, and I felt something was going wrong? 


Tolani became speechless; she does not know what to say because he was right about her. She has not been good, ever since her brother left the house and she didn't know when tears began to flow from her eyes. She wiped her face and Rebecca started crying.


She hanged the call and both of them, wept profusely. Opemipo kept calling but she didn't pick up.                                                                       


Tolani kept avoiding Opemipo in school, but he kept searching for her. He really wanted to know the reason, why she hanged his call yesterday and refused to pick up after that. 


"Tolani, Tolani, Tolani" Opemipo called her as he finally found her.


Tolani who recognized his voice, pretended as if she didn't hear him.


"So you won't answer me again" he said


Tolani turned her face to reply "I am sorry, for what I did but if I didn't do that only... She couldn't finish the statement, as she fought back the tears that was about to drop down.


He quickly interrupted her "It's fine but whenever you need someone to talk to, I am always available" he said as he smiled softly and left.


Rebecca who was watching them, walked up to her and she said "He is a nice guy, Tolani why not give him a chance. Give love a chance, I know you love him too"


Tolani smiled, part of her wanted the relationship and another part was scared of men. Moreover, she heard her pastor talking about relationship and she felt it wasn't appropriate for her.


"For God sake, she is in SS1, why can't she go into a relationship? Omega asked.


"No, it's not the appropriate time for her. She is not qualified for one yet; she doesn't have an understanding of what relationship is all about. 


Relationship nowadays has been abused. Have they discovered their purpose on earth, before going into a relationship? Many of the girls now do not know what relationship is all about.


It's beyond I love you and from what Tolani is experiencing; relationship should not be the next thing to consider. It's going to crash her" Bola, one of the serious students in the class said.


"Hmmmm" everyone in the class said. Though Omega does not agree with her but to avoid trouble, she kept shut.


"It's well" Miss Abosede said as she continued.                                                                               


Tolani accepted to go into a relationship with Opemipo, though she was having mixed feelings.


"Would this relationship last? She thought.


Stay with me as we journey together.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
