Greetings!
This life is full of amazing thing and amazing people. So, this set of amazing people are those who makes things so amazing and interesting. Life is all about what you see and hear and like the popular saying which says, " seeing is believing." And for the fact, seriously seeing is believing and humans tends to believe what they see. Some were even of the opinion than men tends to live by what they see, and women by what they hear. Yeah, I don't really know how true is this, but to some certain extent, I believe. And with this my believe I will like to discuss what have both seen and heard, but would have love to be unheard and unseen. This means, I have both heard and seen things that shocked me.
Sometimes ago, one of my closest friend , let me even say my best and childhood friend whom we started life and share things in common shocked me with one of his move that I'm still trying to unheard and unseen. This friend of mine, Femi by name is a very close friend of mine and we do share our thoughts, move, advice, intentions and any other things we have in mind together. So, one thing that's very sure or even more than sure is that Femi,.my best friend will not embark on a project without informing me or even carrying me along and as for myself too, there's nothing I would lay my hands on without informing him. This has always been our deeds to each other right from our childhood days till now. In short, nothing can qualify and quantify our relationship than to say we are more than a friend but a family. As we will always say or refer to ourselves as brothers from another mother. Even both families were aware that we are more than a friend and because of our relationship, our families are now friends and there's no function or occasion that we will not attend together with the same attire and if his family are doing something, mine will be there and vice versa. So, you can see how deep the relationship is.
But what now happened that left me shocked and awashed was one of the secret he kept from me, though not a devilish secret, but a surprise gone wrong most especially to me and when I heard and saw it, i was like this shouldn't be and i wanted to unheard and unseen it as i couldn't believe my eyes and ear.
On this fateful day, Femi my best friend called and told me to come around. When I got to our meeting point, he told me that he was tired of his current apartment and that, he wants to rent another apartment as his current rented apartment was no more conducive for him. So, he said we should go out there and look for a good and nice apartment with POP and other amenities. He gave his spec of what his new apartment should be. So, I told him not to worry, and that getting something of his spec should not be a problem.
So, after the brief discussion, we set out and he was the one that drove the car, as we were on our way to the location he has told me he would like his new abode to be, he was also making calls try to confuse me of what his plan was, so as for me not to have a hint of where we were going. So, as we were going he was acting as if he was calling an estate agent, and to be candid with all my readers, I didn't have a hint of where we were going as I thought he has already got a place, but just for me to go and check, but at the same time, I was also suspecting him of him get an apartment in such a remote
area. Not quite long, we got to a place, a newly completed building with everything being put in place, when we got there, My friend, Femi parked and alighted from his car, I was still in the car wondering where we were, he asked me to alight from the car which I did, he also asked me to move closer which I did, he then moved towards the door brought the key and opened the door, he then whispered into my hearing saying," THIS IS WHAT GOD HAS DONE." when I heard this I was dumbfounded and shocked , I could not just believe what I have just seen and heard, it was like a dream to me, even after several months of the house warming. I was like trying to wake up from my dream. The reason for this was not far fetched. It was as a result of our relationship which I thought is beyond what has happened, but, it's not his fault but him trying to surprise me was the mistake he made. It was a rude shock that I would have love not to have happened in such a way it happened, I would have love to unheard or unseen the scene, but nothing could be done as the deed was done already. I love the progress he has made in his life and I'm not even jealous of his success, but our relationship is more that how he has handled it. But life goes on. Thank God that action didn't scatter our friendship as it has really make the bond stronger. What a surprise gone wrong.
