Episode 61
Letās take a moment to see life from the hilarious taxi driverās point of view:
I was so excited. In fact, excitement would be an understatement for me. I was thrilled, charged up, hyperactive!
For a start, today happens to be the queen of my heartās birthday. In addition to that, we had planned to go out on a date tonight. One more passenger was all I had left to transport for me to be done with my shift. After that, I would have all the time in the world to do as I please for the entire weekend.
Indeed, love is a beautiful thing. I could still remember a week ago when I took what I would like to call āthe big step.ā Even though I wasnāt as charged up as I happen to be feeling today, something had pushed me to act like a shooting star in a sense that I was motivated to go for what Iād been wishing for despite the chances of rejection involved. I happen to be a naturally outspoken person and a likeable clown who sweeps people ā especially the ladies ā off their feet by just being who I am, but I had my tough times, too. Last week would be a good example of one of these ātough times!ā
After several weeks of having online conversations, phone calls and video calls between each other, I had paid a visit to Lolaās house after a long time since I had been there and she had graciously ushered me into her room which I honestly wasnāt looking forward to at all. She certainly had the confidence to do that ONLY because we were both alone in the house. Perhaps she had her reasons for doing so. Or maybe weād gotten past the stage of having doubts, fears and distrust for each other and she ACTUALLY likes and trusts me enough to go that far. Unknown to me, she was in the middle of an assignment when I got there, and she was willing to put it aside just for me but I had declined the offer with so much politeness that she had laughed very hard and was forced to continue doing it in my presence. I assisted her in the little way I could, and in no time at all, we literally butchered the riddlelike assignment with every fiber of our being. Afterward, we initiated an online game of pool with our phones, got tired of it and took some lovely pictures together, then we talked at length to pass time. If Iām meant to point out just one thing I REALLY admire about Lolaās personality, it would absolutely be her outspokenness.
She has this gracious aura, this tantalizing vibe, this impressive sense of humour and so many other traits about her that one couldnāt help but fall in love with with time. To crown it all, sheās beautiful. As a matter of fact, sheās VERY beautiful!
Sheās the coolest, nicest and the sweetest person Iād probably ever meet on Earth, and I DEFINITELY didnāt think I would be willing to let go of her any time soon. And that, in fact, was what gave me the astounding morale to spill out everything Iād been treasuring on my mind to her hearing on that same day. First of all, before I even manned up and said anything to her, I was so nervous. Secondly, as expected, I was indecisive about what I was about to do then, but a particular clichĆ© saying kept on ringing in my head which says: āWhat doesnāt kill you makes you strongerā, and I couldāve sworn I felt the spark of an imaginary light bulb above my head which gave me an idea of what to say, what not to say, what to do and what not to do about my genuine feelings for her. Finally, without any form of restraint and hesitation, I asked her the big question in the third-person narrative form: āIām quite aware that itās a fact that almost everyone knows itās stale news that a hustling cab driver is head over heels in love with a good-looking woman who means the world to him. Sheās the curry powder and the maggi to his jollof rice, because she adds spice and flavor to his life in a way that no other woman has ever done. Without her, heād probably spend all thatās left of his thyme wallowing in self pity and regret at Heineken road, because he wouldāve lost a Star before he realizes his grave mistake in life. I donāt want to be that guy. No, I wouldnāt want to be him. So Iāll rather take the bull by the horns and cut to the chase straight up. First and foremost, Iām in love with you, Lola. And, Iād be eternally grateful to the stars if you happen to feel the SLIGHTEST way back for me. I donāt suppose you do, do you?ā
