IT WASN'T LOVE BUT HOPE




Sorry i couldn't get you. I had my headsets on. Oh. I was saying hi but seemed to be lost in your thoughts and music.

Oh yeah I apologise. How can I help you? No not really I just wanted to say. Ooh ok.

Yeah so what is your name? My name?

Yes I would like to know your name i have been seeing you come and sit here every Tuesday at this same time, and you are usually sitting alone with your headphones in your ears so i thought I could say hi and maybe we can be lonely together.

Hehehe! I laughed wow i like that one "lonely together" as I was saying this i wondered why has this beautiful lady decided to speak to me, what has really attracted her to me.

Well yeah since am also alone when am waiting for my next class. She replied.

Come on a person like you cannot be a loner like me. Woman like you can you can't be a loner. Whats the catch? Why are you really here.

What do you mean a woman like me? She asked 

Just look at yourself do you really want me to believe someone like you cannot have friends you can wait a class with? 

A person can have a lot of people in his/her life but still feel lonely especially if he/she has nothing in common with those people.

What does that mean? I asked. Are you thinking that you and i have something in common?

I didn't say that. I am only answering your question and by the way the only catch here is that I would like us to be lonely together in the world where people pretend to be happy to suit their environments.

Are you by any chance study psychology or philosophy. I asked 

No i actually studying Economics oh ok. She responded. 

Thats interesting. I replied 

Yes you haven't even answered my question, what is your name?

Well my name is Chungu. What's your name? Finally! My name is Rebecca but my friends call me Becky.

The same ones who pretend to suit their environment or your actual friends? I asked.

What do you think i mean? She replied. 

I don't know thats why I asked. Because I don't want to be placed in the same category as the pretentious people in your life. That's why I am seeking clarity. 

From this small interaction we have had its true you don't belong in that category. 

Okay. So am an actual friend? Meaning I can call you Becky? 

Yes. 

If it was this simple to make friends i wouldn't be sitting here lonely. I mean you don't really know me, hence am now your friend. 

From the look of things it seems like you are an over thinker. She replied 

Well I am an over thinker to avoid the pretentious people in your life. I responded 

Wow! Thats fair. 

Well look at that, my next class is starting. Alright see you next Tuesday so we can be lovely together again. 

To be Continued............... 💭

IT WASN’T LOVE BUT HOPE - PART 3

  Tuesday arrived quicker than I anticipated, bringing with it an undercurrent of something more than just excitement—something I couldn’t quite name. As I made my way to the courtyard, I spotted Becky in our usual spot, her face lighting up with that warm, familiar smile. These weekly meetups had become a cherished part of my routine, a beacon of hope in the midst of everything else. This time, our conversation delved deeper. We talked about our experiences with loneliness—not as something to avoid, but as a part of who we are. Becky opened up about how she’d often felt like an outsider, even in the busiest of places, surrounded by people but still alone. It was a feeling I knew all too well, and it was strangely comforting to find someone who understood. As we talked, it hit me how rare it was to connect with someone on this level. In a world that constantly tells us to be connected, to be social, it’s easy to forget that true connection isn’t about how many people you know, but ...

Mark iam sorry for being all over you. I Just thought you felt the same way. But I get it you never did. And guess what it has just clicked that Eva was the reason why you couldn't ask me out. And me being an idiot I just forced myself on you mark. Hey Vanessa don't be like that. Let me explain. What's there to explain when the picture is self eplanatory and it’s in HD (high deifination) she got into a taxi and left me standing like a stranded Casanova. I went home. As I got in I found a note. Stating am sorry for what has happened never meant to ruin your relationship with your girlfriend yours Eva. My life sucked. I went to my veranda sat down trying to think on how I can get Vanessa back. So I called her the phone kept on ringing then the fourth time I called her my calls were going to voice mail I got worried I didn’t know what to do apart from stopping calling her. I called Eva so that I can apologise for what happened that morning. She was busy complaining saying why...
