After a brief struggle i got my self a job at the construction site,it was not an easy job but i had no other choice but to do it. After all, I needed something to keep me going.
It was a donkey work but hundred cents a month could work for me. Soon i had some money that could keep me going.
Soon afterwards I got myself a beautiful girl. It was love at first sight, and she was my first love.
I desired her and my heart was telling me that she was my future. in the beginning everything was perfect,she morning kissed me everyday, texted to check on me when i was away. I did that too. I gave her my all not knowing what was in store for me .
She was my heart and in my heart. I believed her but what I dint know was that,she was deceiving me. One Friday evening, thinking i was being awaited home from work, to my surprise I couldn't find my bride. I ran to her parents home but she wasn't there too.
With much worrying,i ran very fast to the river bank. What i saw gave me a shock. A man eight feet tall and muscular conversing with my wife. Not as friends but like lovers...
A ball formed in my throat, I felt like thunder had stricken me. I couldn't move, I couldn't talk there was nothing i could have done . If i were to fight the man, i would just be sending myself to an early grave.
My feet felt weak and couldn't hold my weight anymore.Tears rolling down my eyes , I went to the nearest tree and leaned on it imagining the woman I treasured with another man. A woman who shone like a moon and twinkled like stars at night in my heart. A sharp pain ran straight through my heart, like a knife had been passed through it.
So many things ran through my head,stabbing them to death with a knife ,which i obviously dint have,pushing them over a cliff or better still into the river for them to drown but my strength couldn't match that of the man. I still loved her, but why was she doing this to me?!
I talked to my soul for sometime then i realized betrayal is part of life and no matter what,life has to go on.
"Its important to keep your feelings and your self worth in different places,
Because when feelings get hurt it shouldn't change how you view your self"
