I am going to write this with both sadness and happiness accompanying each word.
A Love Story
It was on September 8th, 2017 when I first met Grace, at a shop I went to buy milk, I gaze at her and my heart beat faster, I am an introvert and very shy but I mustered the courage and talked to her and I got lucky, she gave me her number. I called her that day, we talked like we have known each other for years.
I used to called her and texted her everyday. I fell in love with Grace but don't know how to express it.
After a month a talking and hanging out, one day Grace called me and said to me " I knew you love me from your words, guess what, I am in love with you too", I was dumb founded, I felt like all my dreams have came true, I am the happiest man on earth.
On Christmas day year 2017, Grace invited me to her house, she introduced me to her mother, her mother asked me to pray with them, I told her I am a Muslim, I really thought she will change that moment, she simply said no problem, her mom is very kind and accommodating and beautiful.
We spend a year together, one day, Grace called me, crying uncontrollably, she said her dad forbid her from seeing me, he is even taking her back to Port Harcourt as we're both In Kaduna state, I cut the call and went straight to her house, I found her dad,
I greeted him, but what just came out from his mouth was I should leave his daughter, I am not suitable for her, I asked why without any answer, her mom came out full of sadness, she just asked me to be patient,
that if Grace is meant to be mine, no one can stopped it, her dad refused me from seeing Grace, I went back home, I called Grace we talked all night, I promise to visit her early morning. I went to her house in the morning, Grace is gone, no one was home, I called her number switched off.
I went back home, I layed down in my bed, thinking what just happened, I was confused, sad, it was morning but full of darkness, I can't believe Grace is gone. I got sick for two weeks, hospitalized, I thought I wouldn't make it alive.
I still can't find a girl worthy of taking Grace place in my life, she is every man dream, she is perfect, she is amazing, she is the definition of a pious woman.
I want to know why her dad doesn't like me, is it my religion, my tribe or my culture. I guess it is the questions I will never get answers for.
This is not true love but just mare love. You don't love her but it's a hunch. True love is having ability to introduced yourself to her parents and pay her dowry
