By Akintayo Akinjide
I climbed down the Black Maria and wished I had controlled my anger that evening. At least if I had, I won’t be ending my life in prison for my inability to control it.
Men had called me beautiful. Many had
told me I looked like an angel, that my presence in their life would help them get to a higher ground. But I refused. Not that I was proud. It wasn’t also because I was rich. Yes, I was rich, very wealthy. Both of my rich parents were dead and that automatically placed me in wealth I never worked for. More so, I was hardworking.
It wasn’t also because I hadn’t seen the man of my dream. In fact, about three men had made my long list. But I couldn’t double date. Rather, I couldn’t double love. I was in love with Jensimi. He was dangerously handsome. His height was just that of my dream man.

And so on the day my problem occurred, I was daydreaming about him, expecting him. He wasn’t rich. But I have covered that vacuum. Î gave him a car, a house, everything. He was the exact person I wanted as the father of my children.
And that was our sixth year of being friends. I met him on my 28th birthday after one of my friends introduced him as her cousin.
Today, he came in, looking elegant. I was short of breath as he approached the table.
Everything in me had waited for this day.Everything pointed to the fact that he loved me. So, why the delay?
After we’ve exchanged pleasantries, talked generally, and eaten, I decided to voice out.
I’d ordered one of our favourite wines. We would use it to celebrate the great reply.
‘Jen-?’
‘Do you-‘
I swallowed hard. Maybe he was going to say it.
‘You go first’, he said.
‘No you…’
‘I just wanted to know if you are enjoying the meal’.
I knew it. He was shy.
‘Ok…Jen, what’s happening between us?’
He looked up, his fork hanging from his mouth. I looked at his hand. He was a fast learner. I have never seen such a man who was humble, who could stoop so low to learn from a lady, from me. If joy were bulb, it would have lightened my face.
‘What? I see you as a younger sister.
Nothing else’.
My heart felt like falling out through my mouth. I needed something to hold as I blinked severally and my mouth opened like the opening of the caves, which had no hope of ever closing. I held the wine
bottle, to strengthen myself through his
confessions that hit me like arrows.
‘Yes. You’re just a younger sister’.
‘You are mad’ I shouted and smashed his head with the wine bottle. He fell. I smashed again. And again. Until I controlled my anger. By the time I stopped, his skull was soft and cracked.
I had lost it and had to face the music…

Some people can be very annoying, and everyone has the right to get angry and display their anger. Jesus got angry in the Bible when He turned everything upside down on seeing people selling in the temple. If you can't control your anger, just make sure you limit the action you take and always avoid taking up dangerous objects.

Poor writer.

Nice write up. I've learnt to be more calm(ER) than before after the Orubebe and Jega saga last year. Been able to control your anger makes someone different

Anger is a small god that has to be put down always

I think everyone must learn to control their anger..... When u have mastered your ability to control anger, u have less regrets in life. Being able to control ur anger makes u strong, I know this because ppl can be so annoying, I don't really let it get to me I often smile it away.

hmmmmmmm, wot can i say. #pending#

Anger is like a wild animal that needs to be tamed.
It's like a consuming fire; it changes someone's personality for that short period and it can decide a lot of things like what happened to the lady in this story.
We ought to control it/tame it and not allow it get the better of us.

another nice story from you akinjide believe me, u re going places. just keep on making it better dear. Master Wale

This is a very good piece, even though i may not know how to correctly judge being a scientist. Take home/moral lesson: Before you start committing your heart to a serious relationship with the opposite sex, ask question "what is this all about?".
