Know Your Worth by Nomfanelo99(f): 11:48am On Nov 18, 2016 |
It was on a day like this- with a brief fall of precipitation. When I was approached by a fine young man while I was shopping for vegetables from the market on my way to the taxi rank. I prefer a day like this for vegetable shopping. It gets busy and overcrowded on a hot day. I had a bag around my right shoulder, plastic bags on both my hands, stuffed and heavy with fresh vegetables from the street market tables. This man- well, for a moment, afar I thought he was. He greeted me "Sawbona sis wami, unjani?" While I was trying to respond to the greeting I was pleasently interupted by the air that sweeped the scent of his perfume from where he stood right to my face, leaving me with goose- bumps and a motivation to respond immediately with a polite, low-toned "I'm okay and how are you ?" accompanied with a smile. Silly I know, but after that I also noticed how white his teeth were and how extremely clean he was. He had dressed well for the weather and looked as if he had been in an office all day. Exceptionally neat! I was willing to engage in a conversation with this man. I mean, why not? I was smitten! And so we did, we conversed as we walked together to the taxi rank with giggles in the midst. It was a good conversation, for a 10 minutes walk to the rank that I would normally take alone with disturbing thoughts in my head and a list of deadlines depriving me of my liesure time. Hmm...And I was thinking I would find someone like this somewhere around Gateway, this was the least expected setting. Before I knew it, the walk was over. I had to get inside the taxi that would take me back to my normal life. As I stopped to say goodbye I realized I was still carrying the heavy plastic bags with vegetables in both of my hands and I was huffing and puffing as well. I was tired, my other hand was burning too, one bag was heavier than the other and it virtually cut through my skin. He then asked for my cellphone number, "So we can meet again and get to know each other more, you are beautiful, full of life and I would like to have a woman like you in my own life," he said. This time I was reluctant to smile, in my head I was worried. There was something wrong with this man. If I even consider giving him my cellphone number it would be the end of my happiness. My friend, I refused to give him my number. I couldn't hide the truth from him, I wanted him to understand my frustration and worry. So that one day he would never do it to another woman, in any kind of way. I told him I would not give him my number because he had failed to help me with the vegetable bags I was carrying on our way to the taxi rank. I wouldn't want to give my number to a man of such character. I give my number to gentlemen who know and understand the worth of a woman. He giggled for seconds, he probably thought I was joking. I then smiled, "Goodbye!" I said as I grabbed the vegetable bags from the ground and made my way to the taxi. It can never be the scent, nor the sense of style, the excent or words you utter. You can approah me looking like Kanye West jumping off his private jet but If you cannot realize that I have a burden and lend a helping hand like a normal human being whose hands are empty and free then I refuse to start any form of relationship with you. I interact with human beings not something in between. You couldn't help me with my vegetable bags, a simple thing such as that and you want me to give you my cellphone number? Why because you are good looking and you smell good? Really? I wont enter that pit hole with both of my eyes open. 3 Likes 1 Share |

MARX77: but in this case it had nothing to do with him being a gentleman. what happened to humanity ? he didn't have to open doors for me or anything. All he had to do was offer to carry one bag 1 Like |

Nomfanelo99:The problem was that you took too much time admiring him and he too was admiring... no one has a fault here unless u no wan just give am ur number. By the time you guys where lost in tge euphoria thats when you realized his not a gentle man thats why they say love can be stupid.... |
