DILEMMA OF PASSIONS- 1

How can I be in love with someone who belongs to someone else?

I was about to get into the bus on that sunny afternoon at Obalende when I tripped over. Somehow, he was right behind me and he caught my fall. I thanked him, but his striking build captivated me immediately.

 

“You must spend a lot of time working out”, I heard a deep baritone say in a slightly mocking voice. “My name is Chima”, he added.

 

I literally stammered my name…then we started chit chatting about fitness, exercise routines and healthy meals.

 

I got to my bus stop, praying silently that he will alight from the bus with me. My prayers weren’t answered. However, that whole Tuesday afternoon, I could not get Chima out of my mind. But he was out of my mind by the break of dawn.

 

After series of heartbreaks, I have learnt to guard my heart jealously. I have learnt to think of myself first. And that was exactly what I was doing until I heard a familiar voice call out to me in the gym….

 

Four weeks later, I am staring Chima in the face…sweaty from a rigorous work-out. All of a sudden, I felt like visiting the loo. My tummy could not stop rumbling but I was sure I wasn’t hungry.

 

Then I saw it! The gold band on his left 4th finger. I smiled. “You married?” I asked. “Oh yes, I am. But I am not going to miss getting your number and asking you out to dinner”, he replied.

 

We talked about what I really do not know, but basically around healthy food and workout routines, and we settled on lunch.

 

We exercised a bit together…. And then I knew I was getting into trouble.

 

Lunch dates escalated into dinner dates, but Chima never made any advances. He loved his overweight wife. I loved my pot bellied fiancé.

 

But fitness, our passion, is raising…our passion.

    Hi Dr, your blog can't be read because the font is white and the background colour is milky/ off white. All that is visible is the milky colour, but the words cannot be seen. Please look into this. I probably won't be able to read this comment once it's posted (for laughs).

      Oh my! So sorry about that. However, the font on the blog is black. Maybe try viewing from a different browser. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you get to experience some inspiration soon.
