Where smiling got me

March 24th, 2010 [Friday] The day I first saw her in front of Principal's Office and it feels like it was just yesterday. My friends and I being Prefects were keeping the late comers at bay to pick up the liters and also for some harsh punishments. I stood behind the block of J.S.S. 3A looking at the wonderful woman, she was cute, cool, charming, captivating and cinderelling classic in her late 20s. Who was she? I tapped the Senior Prefect in an amazed mood. The new English Language teacher he replied. I smiled as if i haf just won a lottery.

On that same day, I couldn't think in any dimension other than the stunning angel I had sighted earlier. Most times i smiled for no reason, other times I put on imaginary actions and unexplainable circumstances. On the same day I got home, its a total different day my parent, brother and sister had noticed the sudden change of mood; all house chores were thoroughly done without being lazy like before. On Monday morning, she finally walked into my class like a morning sunshine greeted us and ask each one of us to introduce ourselves by our name. At my turn, I smiled consecutively to pronounce my name, she was wondering why the smiled but later on pay no attention little did she know it was more than just a smile.

The Suspicious activities started four months after, whenever she saw me or our eyes gazed I always put on the lovely smile. She made enquiries from the Class-Captain about my attitude. The class captain told me she asked him if that was how i always smiled? and he told her No, that he does not know why the new smiling attitude. I continued with my smiling face until she approached me and queried reasons behind my smiling attitude. I said nothing. But I was certain that she knew I was not saying the truth, whenever im in class and I smiled at the gazed of our eyes, she smiled back.

My adventure of smiling began to take a new turn, I never tried to conceal my affection as well as to hide my intuitive reasons of my smile and yet how can I expressed myself of the way I feel. My smiling charm had worked to the peak that whenever she came into our class, she always wanted to see my face and when I smiled she also smile back. This have caused lot of confusion among my colleagues they are wondering what could have happened between us two. However, this continued on and on with no one to give accurate reasons of either my smiles or hers.

After I graduated from the High School and we do not see for a longer time. June 12th 2017 [Friday] in Abuja, I met her at one of my friends birthday I was looking at her from the distance she hadn't noticed me at where I was standing. I approached her with a simple hello and I smiled at the instance, she looked for some minutes trying to reconnect with my facial appearance as soon as she got to know. She gave me a big hug, smiled and happy; with several hours of discussion; she finally asked why the smiles back then. I replied with a big courage as a man I fell in love with you on that very day. She busted into a big laugh and said awww now im married, but with a courage and truthful mind of my words. I receive a romantic kiss.

Its a true story of what I ventured...
