My First Flower: Unfeigned Love

source

Hello friends and givers, how are you doing today? The moment I saw this Day 5 #inleo Prompt, I was very happy because I love to talk about love. I believe love is one of the things that can unite the world together.
our world where there is discrimination, Tribalism, racism, etc. Our World where a neighbor hates his fellow neighbors because they are not the same tribe, ethnic, religion and culture. A world where you hate someone because he's wealthy and richer than you

I believe that one of the solutions to war, dispute, fight, disagreement and resentment is love. Love cam quenches the fire of war.

The first time I bought a flower wasn't my love; she was a friend. But the lady was extremely beautiful at that time and she was around 17 years of age.
She was living in the same house I was living in while I was an undergraduate. I rented a mini flat while she was styling with her parents In a room and parlor. She loves to walk beside me, while I don't allow her to enter my room to avoid a story that touches the heart.
I didn't allow females to enter my room while I was in the 100-200 level. I don't want to fall into temptation!

Valentine was very near, and she called me, “I want a Valentine gift from you. Valentine's Day is a few days from now”.

She also had helped me in terms of meals many times. There were times I did not have money to eat outside. She cooked food and gave it to me several times.

I decided to get her a flower, a perfume and a cream. I went to a popular grocery shop in my environment.
When I got to the grocery shop, I told the Seller that I needed a flower to give to a lady. The lady looked at my eyes and smiled.
“I will give you the best flower”, smiled at me.
She went and bought a red flower for me. “This is a best flower for her”
I got other items including a cream and perfume for her.

When it was Valentine 's day, I gave her the items I bought for her. she jumped and hugged me, “Thank you Chris, you are the first person that got me a flower, and you got me a rose flower”.
what! rose flower? “Do You know the meaning?”
no, I don't know the meaning.
“Rose is a symbol of love and loyalty. thank you for given me this gifts, I appreciate everything you give me today”.

Our friendship became stronger than ever; she began to entering my flat than before. but, I was very conscious so that I did not take advantage of her.
When I could no longer hold myself because the more time she spent with me, the higher my feelings for her.

To prevent myself from taking advantage of her, I called her and told her everything. I said she should not be coming to my flat often.
“oh! am I not beautiful enough? why are you pursuing me away? is ok!”

I replied, it is not like that, I don't want to do what I would not be happy about. I started preaching for her that, if I commit fornication God will not be happy.
after she heard my words, she stopped visiting me for months, and everything she was giving me stopped.

By the time she visited me again, she was pregnant. someone had deceived her and impregnated her.
During my final year, she realized that I was a best guy she ever met in her life. but at this time her kids was about 2 years and months.
the young man that impregnated her refused to be responsible; and he was at my age.
just like my nature, I love to help when I have. I kept on supporting her financially; I also advised her.

After my graduation, she kept calling me like my family members.
she finally got married before me; and When she told me, I was able to give her money that could buy her bag and shoe.
last year when I did my wedding, despite how far was the journey, she came to my wedding. she did not come alone but also bought gifts and gave me money.

this picture belongs to me

When she came to my wedding, she said, “that rose you gave me that day is still with me. the rose is very special to me. you would have been the first man that took advantage of me but you didn't. 99% of men I met in this life were after my body except you. I entered your room in uncountable times, you didn't even touch me. A guy that I thought he came from a good Christian home ended up romancing me the first time I visited her. I have to run for my life because I don't want what happens to me before happens again. thank you for everything!”

I believe one cannot have intimacy relationship with everyone he/she loves. there are some people that come to your life, and you are to help them or they are to help you. we should not take advantage of them just because they need our help.

I have friends whose intentions are to have sex with ladies
the moment they help them.
if I have done that, I would have lost her friendship and love for long time ago. I kept on doing the same thing to most of my friends both young women and men; but, often ladies.
The flower I gave her was a symbol of genuine love but not to take advantage of her.

I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness. Success comes to the people who are desperately and consciously searching for it. When it seems unsuccessful or you smell failure around you, never discourage yourself from being successful.
“Discouragement and failure are the two surest stepping stones to success.” - Dale.
