LNG didn’t break my heart… she surrendered hers so her family could survive.
I once dated a girl back then in DELSU. Let’s call her LNG.
LNG was so prettyful. I think, if I am right, she contested for Miss DELSU and came 2nd... And based on the story I heard, she didn’t win because she wasn’t outspoken.
Her beauty and her physique were both crafted by God & the devil.
I was in my 2nd year when I met her.
Myself and @Larrywizzy4u were chilling at Glamor Stand when she passed and greeted him. They were close friends, and that was my first time seeing her.
I happen not to be the social type, so I really didn’t pay attention to whether she said hi to me or not. But I noticed her beauty and concluded she must be dating one of the top men on campus… or probably married.
When Larry came back, I told him how pretty the lady was, and he laughed, telling me how she had remained single from 100 level to 300 level. I was in 200 level, while Larry & LNG were both in 300 level.
He told me how guys had been shooting their shots at her, how big guys and top men from Asaba & Onitsha came for her, and how she still chose to remain single.
Well… I told him I would love to try my luck.
He busted out in laughter, telling me not to waste my time.
I woke up the next day and still found myself thinking about her, so I called Larry to come to my lodge.
When he arrived, I told him that by all means he should look for a way to make our paths cross again because I would love to talk to her.
Larry again said it was a waste of time and that I should let it go.
Since LNG was popular, he called a few of my neighbors and jokingly told them my intentions.
They all laughed at me and told me to let it go.
Well… I decided to let it go.
Later that same day, I was with Larry on campus when we saw LNG again.
This time, I said hello, and Larry did the needed introduction.
Then Larry whispered something in her ear.
I noticed how her mood went from 100 to 0 immediately.
I overheard her tell him she wasn’t interested.
I pretended my phone was ringing and excused myself immediately.
My interest died instantly.
When Larry caught up with me, he couldn’t stop laughing.
He told my neighbors, and they all laughed at me too.
The next week, I noticed I was seeing LNG almost everywhere… every time… every day.
But I didn’t say hi.
I just ignored her and carried on as if nothing had happened.
Then one day, Larry told me he had seen LNG, and she told him she had seen me several times and tried to say hello, but I kept walking past.
I pretended like I didn’t know what he was talking about.
One faithful day, I saw her again.
I tried to ignore her, but this time she walked up to me.
She asked what was up and wanted to know why I had been ignoring her.
I told her I hadn’t been ignoring her and never noticed her.
So we settled it.
Since we were both heading to Coca-Cola Villa to have lunch, we spoke properly for the first time.
She then asked if we could be friends.
I told her no.
I told her I recognized how she made me feel, and I didn’t want to be “just friends” with her.
Well… we had our lunch, and after that, we agreed to keep in touch from time to time.
On getting back to my lodge later that day, my meeting with LNG became the topic everywhere.
People wanted to know what happened… or what was happening.
Well… I just took advantage of the whole thing and acted like she was already my lady.
Almost nobody believed me anyway.
Weeks passed, months passed… I wasn’t seeing LNG like I used to. It felt like she was purposely avoiding me.
I asked Larry if he had seen her, and he said he sees her every day since they both attend the same lectures.
So I concluded she was avoiding me.
While myself and Larry were heading home one day, I saw her waiting for her taxi, and Larry waved at her.
Now she couldn’t hide or run…
So she slowly walked towards us to say hi.
