I Am Blessed
Men are just too much, especially when they see any girl who is pretty. Pretty girls are into one problem or the other, but they just have to be careful not to fall into the wrong hands. Every guy always wants to turn their head 360° just to take a deep view of the beauty of what the girls look like. God has reasons for creating women, and his creation is infinitely the best.
Some time ago, I saw some guys gathered when I was walking along the road, saying some words that made me rethink. One of them said, “God has blessed some ladies so much.” When I heard that, I paused, pretending to be receiving a call. The boy continued, “God is partial. Why would he create some ladies special while some ugly?” When I heard this statement, I smiled and still wanted to hear more. I tried to raise my phone close to my ears, pretending to be making a call, just to hear more of their words. Another one continued and said, “God created this one unique. God was done with creation before, exercising patience to create this one here. That's why she looks unique and beautiful. She packaged herself to the fullest." After hearing those words, I smiled and left immediately.
I remember when I was still in secondary school, all eyes were always on me anytime I entered my class. They always wanted to see the good creatures of God. One day, when I entered the class, I saw my classmates gazing at me especially. One of them could not observe that I was looking at him when his face was spinning following my movement. The mathematics teacher had to shout and call out his name, “Tayo, is everything okay?” The whole class, without wasting time, would burst into laughter. Tayo would pretend he was looking at something else.
One fateful day, after secondary school, one of my teachers organized a Jamb lesson preparing students for university. I registered for the lesson since I was one of those who was fully ready to go to the university. I never joked about my education, despite the commotion I always cause with my looks.
After the registration, I started the lesson. I was the first set of students who started the lesson. We were like 10 in number, and gradually, students started coming for registration. After a few weeks, the lesson was filled with countless students.
On a special day, which I could not remember clearly, one guy was passing by as the lesson center was so close to the major road. He sighted me from a distance and could not hold himself; instead, he walked straight to the security man. I'm sure you all would have asked how I was able to know he was gazing at me.
I saw him passing by, and the way he was gazing was so obvious. He was so confused and unfocused. I was sure he aimed not to come for the lesson, but just to try to see if he could get me. He called me and asked, "Please, baby! How much is the Jamb lesson here?” I looked at him closely and responded, “That's the owner; you can go and ask him.” He said, “Thanks,” but then his eyes were on me.
He asked and started the Jamb lesson just to get me, but I was not ready to draw close to him. He tried certainly but could not get me. Two days later, I observed that he was not coming again.
As if that were enough, my teacher knew me and has always been sending me any kind of errand. While in the class, he called me to wipe the board. I stood up and started walking towards the boardwalk. I turned back just to take the duster before seeing all the gentleman's eyes on me. Furthermore, I was feeling ashamed and wanted to go back to my seat, but then I had no choice other than to clean the board. When I was done, I walked to my seat and sat down, even when we had closed the lesson. I wanted to make sure everyone went home before I left for my house. My friend, on the other hand, who we were supposed to go home with, said we should be going. I told her I couldn't leave until everyone had gone, which made her burst into serious laughter.
I had no choice but to leave for my abode with my friend. That day was not a good story to tell. After that day, I was not ashamed any longer. Guys would just turn their heads 360° without being bothered by anyone. “They can only disturb themselves; at least I own the properties God gave me,”, I later concluded.
