EPISODE 14 S andra moved closer to me and held my hands. she stared into my eyes. I stared back at her in shock. she just defined me. it was not as if we had known each other for long. this was even my first time of being alone with her. how could she know that I'm always nervous whenever I'm alone with a lady. "Christian" she called "you don't have to feel bad about it. you are not the only one with this trait. you can overcome it if you can tell people about it. my uncle too had this trait. his case was so bad that at the age of 30, he still couldn't approach ladies. He had no girlfriend. His parent had to get him a wife when he wouldn't introduce any lady to them. He had to accept the lady that was chosen for him because he had no other option. He never love the woman he married. He was later able to control his shyness when he told his close friends about it and they gave him advice which helped him. he became confident in himself and was able to approach ladies, but that didn't change anything because he was already married to a woman he didn't love. His religion doesn't support divorce, so he couldn't divorce his wife. All this happened to him because he kept his problem to himself. if he had open up earlier, he wouldn't have married someone he didn't love." The pain I felt in my heart at that moment cannot be described with words. it was as if my heart would explode. I stared at Sandra with so much emotion. I have never be this emotional all my life. that was the first time I'm staring into a lady's eyes without being nervous. I was so pained. I tried not to speak, for the tears which had already formed in my eyes not to drop. she tightened her grip on my hands. "Christian I believe you can overcome this. There is no problem without a solution. you have to help yourself. look for friends you trust and tell them your problem. you can solve you problem by telling people. people who you can trust. people who can advise you. if you are confident enough to tell me about it, I will gladly give you a listening ear." she said and and fixed her gaze on my, waiting for me to share my problem with her. I stared intensely at her. I couldn't get my gaze off her. I have never stared at a lady this way before. I wasn't myself anymore. I was destabilized. "I.........." I paused I couldn't speak. my lips were shaking. "I............" I paused again. The tears which I had been holding, dropped freely from my eyes. "I have been this way all my life" I said as more tears flow from my eyes. "my childhood till this stage of my life had been so boring. I have no close friends. I don't know how to make friends. I don't always do things that I wished to do. I don't go to parties. I always get nervous when I'm in a crowded place. I don't know how to approach ladies. I can't start or maintain a conversation with a lady. I don't do things that normal human beings do. am I even a normal human being. tell me which normal human being will be behaving this way." I said as more tears dropped from my eyes. The more I speak, the more tears flow from my eyes. I couldn't control myself anymore. I was crying like a baby. I didn't know I have been holding all this pain for a long time. Sylvia drew me closer to her and wrapped me in a warm embrace. that didn't stop the tears. I even cried the more. I soaked her cloth with tears. she tighten her grip on me. "Christian you have to stop crying. Everything will soon be over." she said I later stopped crying, but she didn't free me from her hold. she still wrapped me in a warm embrace. we remained that way for the next 20 minutes. we didn't say anything to each other. the room was very silent. I didn't know what happened next. All I could remember was that I slept off while she was still holding on to me. I woke up an hour later with slight headache. I tried to sit up from the bed I was lying but was too week. The event that happened an hour ago flashed through my mind. that was when I realized I was still in Sylvia's house and was even lying on her bed. I sat up immediately. How did I get to her bed? All I could remember was that I was sitting on her chair. wait a minute, I even told her my problem. How did I get that much courage to tell her my problem. I even cried in her presence. I can't believe I just cried like a baby in a lady's presence. While I was still wandering in my thought, she emerged from her kitchen with a cup of tea. she smiled when she saw me. "you are awake" she said I didn't respond. she stretched the cup of tea to me. "have this. it will make you get better" I collected the cup of tea without taking my gaze off her. "I want to go home" I said "okay, but take that first" I quickly down all the content and gave her back the cup "thank you" I said "you are welcome" she responded "I will take my leave now" I said "okay, but make sure you call me when you get home" I nodded. I stood up from her bed and left her house. I left exactly 9:45pm. visit storyrim.com for more stories 10 Likes |

EPISODE 15 I got home exactly 10:15pm. I lay on my bed, and the event which happened at Sylvia's house flashed through my mind. I still couldn't believe that I told Sylvia my problem. I have never told anyone this before. not even my family members. How can I be so courageous to tell a lady about it. And the fact that I cried in her presence still marvels me. I don't think I was in the right frame of mind then, because the normal Christian wouldn't have done all that. The vibration of my phone brought me back to reality. I stared into the screen and saw that the call was from Sylvia. that was when I realized I was supposed to call her when I got home. I picked the call immediately. "hello Sylvia" I said "Christian, have you gotten home?" she asked "yes, I just got home. I was about to call you before you called" I said "okay, make sure you rest your body and don't think about anything" she said "okay, thanks a lot" I responded. "I will call you later to check on you" she said "okay" I responded. I ended the call and lay on my bed. I slept off few minutes later. The vibration of my phone woke me up few hours later. I stretched my hand to my desk to get my phone. I picked up the call when I realized it was from Sylvia. "hello Sylvia" I said, feeling sleepy. "Christian, are you still in bed? aren't you supposed to be prepared for lectures by now" I looked at the wall clock in my room and realized it was 7:15am. I was having my first lecture by 8am. so, if Sylvia didn't call, I wouldn't have woken up. "I have taken my bath already. I will be in school in the next 15minutes" I lied to her. "okay make sure you get to school on time" she said "I will" I responded. I ended the call and quickly rushed to my bathroom to take my bath. I got to the school exactly 8:15am. I heaved a sigh of relief when I realized the lecturer was not yet in class. I located an empty seat and quickly sat down. the lecturer entered the class immediately I settled down. he went straight to the business of the day. After his lecture, he gave us an assignment which we were to submit in his next class. I left the class immediately to have breakfast. I didn't have breakfast before leaving home. on my way to the restuarant, I saw my course mates, Grace and Amanda walking towards me from a distance. I wanted to dodge but couldn't, because they saw me first. "hi" I said when they got to me. "Christian, thank God I met you here. I have been looking for you since the class ended. where are you heading?" Grace asked "I am going........" I paused "I am going........" I paused again. I was thinking of where to tell them. I don't want to tell them that I was actually going to the restuarant. "I'm just taking a walk" I finally responded "it seems you are less busy. please I will need you to explain the assignment that was given to us today.it is very technical. I don't even know which formula to apply." Grace said. "let's look for an empty class where you can explain it to us" Amanda added. They dragged me along with them, without waiting for my response. they located an empty class, and we sat down on one of the long chairs in the class. they brought out their books and gave me a pen for me to begin. I held the pen for 2 minutes, trying to think of the best way to start. "erm......" I paused it seemed I was getting nervous again. why can't I just control this thing for once. "Christian we are ready" Grace said "okay" I responded Just when I was still trying to deal with the ladies beside me, Janet and Judith, who are also my course mates walked into the class. "so this is where you guys are hiding. and we have been looking for you all over the school." Janet said immediately. "what are you guys solving, is it the assignment? Judith asked "yes. Christian is trying to explain it to us" Grace answered "have you guys gone far?" Judith asked "no, we are about to begin" Grace responded "Okay let's join you then" Judith said Judith and Janet immediately sat beside us, making it 4 ladies that I would be sitting alone with in a class. it's obvious that I would embarrass myself. I know I won't be able to speak normally in the presence of these ladies. "we are ready" Grace said it is certain that the whole class would know that I'm a shy guy, because I'm going to mess up things here. Just when I was about to say my first word, Sylvia walked into the class. "so this is where you guys are" she said It felt like a huge burden was lifted from my heart immediately I saw her. "I hope you don't mind if I join you guys" she said, walking towards us. "you can join us" I responded immediately. Sylvia sat beside me and I heaved a sigh of relief. I started the lecture with them, and until I finished, I didn't feel nervous. I couldn't believe that I just explained a whole topic to 5 ladies without being nervous. I observed that it was when Sylvia walked in that I gained confidence to teach them. it seems I'm now confident being with Sylvia. Even when she called me this morning and last night, I didn't get nervous when talking to her. I even picked her call without delay. I just pray things continue this way. visit storyrim.com for more interesting stories 7 Likes 1 Share |
