The tough choice
Susan
is a young lady in her late twenties and an entrepreneur. She Loves
life and lives each day with happiness .She strongly believe in
accountability for each minute as she argues that minutes makes
hour,hours makes days ,days makes weeks,weeks makes months,months
makes years and years make your life,your future and your dreams.
“If
you don’t account for your day you will never account for your
future,” She normally tell her lasses and lads.
She
has achieved what she has always dreamed of since she was a young
girl. A beautiful home,which she had envisaged since she was a young
girl at the age of ten. Her dream house would have at least four
bedrooms,2 bathrooms, walk-in closets, a mixture of carpet and
hardwood floors, a huge kitchen, living room, family room, and
fireplace. There will be a bathroom & balcony in the master and
guest bedrooms. This she achieved at the age of 28 since she had
began doing business at her early twenties and all things fell into
place.
Her
other dream was to have a family which consisted of a husband and
three kids. Having achieved the others she was yet to have a family
of her own. She didn’t make it her agenda to look for a man who she
will call hers forever but prayed to God to honor her plea. She kept
herself busy with work,movies and books believing Gods time is the
best. She had vowed never ever to compromise at whatever cost and
promised to always follow her inner soul. She met so many young men
who fitted her physical description but not the within description.
Susan's
dream guy according to her inner soul whom she had conceptualized
should be a guy who loves himself as when you love yourself you will
love others,She always quoted Buddha regarding self love when
describing her dream guy,
“You
must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and
fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your
love & affection.”
Also
Susan's dream guy should know who he is and whose he is,knows his
worth and sees possibility in any difficultly and resilience in times
of adversities.
Mary,her
friend always told Susan that her dream guy supplication were
exaggerates and no man has all these qualities. Susan always smiled
and told Mary
“No
one is born with such qualities but one can train themselves to have
the qualities same way no one was born poor or rich,we make choices
to be either.”
“All
the best pal.” Mary joshed her
She
went out on coffee dates with a couple of guys who almost marched her
dream guy but never fitted in well especially intellectually
compatible. She reckons that for souls to be entwined couple should
be intellectual compatible. Their way of thinking,opinions,outlook
and sentiments should be same or close hence this will avoid the so
many confrontations and arguments found in couples as their way of
viewing life is the same therefore being soul-mate which is a person
ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner. The
guys didn’t impress her when they conversed and she had to end the
meeting there. A woman fall in love through her hears,hence a woman’s
heart is susceptible to words.
One
day Susan met Alex from one of the so many marketing seminar she
attended. She liked the way Alex presented his ideas and she could
judge from his speech that he had a positive view on life. When it
was Susan's time to give her speech,Alex was also intrigued by her
and he decided to approach her after the meeting. They chatted
briefly and decided to hook up the following evening for coffee as
they know each other more.
Susan
looked forward to this meeting as Alex had stirred her up with his
elite way of conversing. They met that evening and talked about
politics,economy and the books they have read and which ones worked
for them. Truly reading books gives someone power and also have
facts in his/her conversation. Alex liked Susan wittiness. They had a
lot to share. Susan was enthralled by Alex intellectual and his fresh
fragrance which she inhaled deeply any moment it hit her nostrils
Finally
Alex opened up by telling Susan he liked her and wanted to date her
but on conditions.
“look
here Susan,I like you and I would love to date you but as my mistress
and will give you anything you want.”
Susan
was perplexed beyond words.
“Thanks
for your offer but I don’t take less than my desires,”she posed,
“ it was nice meeting you Alex.”
Susan
left the venue and after getting in her car she deleted Alex number
as she never wanted to further engage with him from that day
henceforth.
The
next day while Susan was in her office going on with her work,she was
called by her receptionist that a car dealer was here to see her. She
tried to recall if she had request anyone to see her but couldn’t
figure it out. She decided to go and see this guy,within she said
that age could be catching up with her since she couldn’t recall
having an appointment with her car dealer. As she approached the
reception,outside she saw a black car packed but dint pay attention
as her focus at the very moment was this uninvited guy.
At
the reception she met the guy,who handed her keys at pointing at the
black car which was Rolls-Royce Phantom drop-head coupe. Susan was
astounded and strings of questions ran across her mind as she gulp
for air. The mysterious guy handed her a card which read.
"Hey
Susan,that's the best I can offer for now. I want you to be part of
me and you will enjoy more of my wealth. Think things over.”
Yours
Alex.
Susan
was now more than confused. Here was one of the most expensive cars
in front of her,offered on a silver plate and she was to get more.
Her head was in turmoil thinking of a pragmatic approach on this.
After
an immense cognitive which to her seemed like age yet it was only
five minutes,she asked for a complementary and a pen from her
receptionist and wrote back to Alex.
"Hey
Alex,What a surprise! this was uncalled for. You are married and
that’s what am looking for. I believe there are so many single out
there,I will wait as patience pays. At no point in my life have I
ever dreamt being a mistress,not now not ever.””
She
gave back the keys and the note to the guy and told him to take both
the car and the note to Alex. She went back to her office very proud
of her decision to say no amidst the luxuries. She was in a situation
fraught in peril. She let her mind do the thinking not her heart
Her
receptionist was really amazed at Susan's attitude. She thought aloud
that no woman would leave such a man despite the circumstance. She
was greatly surprised and impressed at the same time beyond words.
