HIDDEN MOMENTS by Romeo Fredson (psychology books to read txt) 📕

I spent time with Arabella. She looked very beautiful and was also nicely dressed up in her favorite dressing code; jean trousers and a cute pinkish baby top. She exposed such glamore that i began to be day dreaming. Even the guys around asked her who she was going to meet that morning. She answered them by saying,' Whoever i 'm dressing for will have to tell me something sweet and nice. Something that will keep my running through the day.

After everything when there was time to talk to each other I called her and spoke to her about the relationship thing. I said, “Arable I know I have been a little coward I should have told you how I felt about you, but I was scared but please forgive me for my imprudence but I still want to tell you that I love you so much and I will not hurt you but keep you as my one and only true friend. i will play my role as a responsible boyfriend who never hurt you like people use to do by cheating on their girlfriends. I will live up your expectation and that which ill be a healthy relationship and a long lasting relationship between us. I promise to love you for whom you are and I will always be there for you.” Then we both promised that we would not make anyone feel bad about the other.

Really and truly for this one I would say that my heart was in this relationship, but problems began to rise not between us but around us. The mothers thought that she was a bad influence to so they spoke to me and told me not to get very involved with her so she won`t lead me astray. I knew and understood them very well but I couldn`t believe the fact that leaving her would solve the problem. So I thought it wise to speak to her to relate well with them so they won`t think she is a devil.

Honestly speaking I knew there was a good side of her hidden but only because she is easily aroused of things that easily get her to become angry and make people think she is not kind and was a bad nut. For me I have always hid to the instructions of my parents not doing really the exact thing but trying to find a way through this life. Even though I was not up to the age of falling in love, I have learnt a lot from not doing the bad things in a relationship and what could arise if I allow myself to be controlled by my feelings. I am a young boy with many aspirations and so I already had a future for this relationship. It was my ordain to make it a healthy one, I prayed to God to help me come out very successful in the relationship not to do things from immense feelings but on his rightful path of the word (the Bible). With time I prayed that anytime I was doing something wrong He should correct me any how He wanted it to be.

God did I guess answer my prayer, I guess I was spending too much time with her than my books, so there was a plan made to send her home. This I did not like but I can`t alter God`s plans. She one day told me that she could not continue her education up to the senior high level so asked her what she wanted to do and she said she would want to go to a vocational school. I spoke to her to think about it very carefully to see if she really wants to go to the vocational school. She came back the next morning with the same answer. Again I spoke to her a lot telling her that she must come out as a victor wherever she finds herself. Two weeks later she told me she was informed that she would be going home, and I told her I already knew of it but the reason why I did not tell her was that I did not want her to be depressed but very strong knowing that in all things God is with her and I would forever love her and pray for her.

After when she has left for the vocational school to pursue her aspiration, I did not sit back doing nothing I also studied very much to make up for the times I wasted. But when it was Fridays I went to visit her at school. The first day she left for school, I was very unhappy I was quite sad that someone who always to comfort in me and was always around me had left. Her absence left a space in my heart for almost a month. It was as though I had lost her forever. Going back to her first day at school, she felt very weary sad. She wasn`t given her pocket money and all that she needed by her, she was given only gari, “shemema” biscuit and a little sugar and a lot of cheese that which she did not like very much. Her very friend who was already in the school but from our place (KP), sent me a message that evening when she wasn`t yet back from school through Diata that, Arabella needed my help very much because she has got anything she desired to be given whiles the others were given to school that faithful morning. She could not eat the dining hall food, and everything given to her to bring to school was that which she was allergic to. And she also did not have any money; so she is pleading on my behalf if I could help her. She even said that she wept very much throughout the day and was missing me that much. When I heard that she cried I was very grieved for she had never cried since I got to know her. She had been the type that was very strong in the heart and mind. On hearing this news I was very touched. So that evening I gave out a sum of Gh₵ 10.00 to be given to her and I wrote a letter to her that same evening telling her that I would be buying her something’s she would be needing to make her feel comfortable. But fortunately for me, (Augustina) the one friend of Arabella, came with the same message and the list of things she would want me to buy. So I collected the list and told her that I would be coming over to the school, but she should not tell her. I also gave her the letter to be given to her as well as the money placed in it; that was on Monday evening.

After school on Friday, I went to melcom at Madina and bought all that was on the list and sent it in person to the school that same day. When I got to the school, she was very happy to see me and I was also happy to meet her. I gave her the items and she was very grateful, I also spoke to her to get used to the new change and she would be very happy. I encouraged her to study very hard and do away with her anger and furiousness, and also make friends. I told her that she should also expect that she would be quarried by her seniors every time but as soon as they see that she is of a good character they would stop and rather like her. I said a lot of things to make her happy and also promised to be there for her whenever she needed me. I promised to love her whiles she was still away from me. I made her understand that being away doesn`t mean one cannot care for each other but it was rather a test to see if one can really keep his or her promises to the other even when the person is away. After some encouragements and kind talks we all brought some funny moments we encountered together when we were still around each other. We also cracked some jokes to make the moments exciting. At around 5:30pm, I knew I was late than my usual time getting home after school each day, but I spent about 30 minutes with her and then we walked up to the school gate and there I gave her a sum of Gh₵ 5.00 to top up the items I bought for her. Then I gave her a hug and she bid me farewell. Then I left for home happy.

That night I slept very well, I was only remembering the time we had together in the day and how much happy I was to have seen her again. I kept visiting her from time to time and she really liked it sometimes I could not give her much but she still understood me. She even told me that when I do not have much for myself I shouldn`t buy anything for her. She seeing me is enough to make her happy and to believe that I was still very cautious of her. She also told me about the frequent changes she began to have from those who did not even like her the first time they saw her. She told me how much she has been loved and cared for by everyone around her. She said it was as if I knew that things would be very comfortable for her. Then she asked me if I was able to foresee someone’s future, and I said,” NO it is just a reality of life that one cannot be in one situation for a longer period.” So when I finally got home that evening, I was very relieved of the fact that she would be very happy with her stay at least, even without my presence around her she would be able to get on well with new friends.

My life went on and on in my day to day execution, I went to school and came back home in relieve but very tired and worn out. Since the day she left to the present, I worried less about her because, I was free minded to do other agendas; like studying, running errands and subjecting myself to duties pertaining to me. Situations changed as time unfolded it. My education on the other hand was very much a yielding success to the home academic expectancy.
