This topic reminds me of the love story between my friend Bola and her fiancee. In life the least expected moment can turn out to be the dream you have been waiting for all your life. An anger turned out to be a beautiful love story between my dear friend Bolanle and her fiancee, name withheld.
Note that all pictures in this post are mine.
On this faithful day, my friend went to the store to get flowers, Bola is a lover of flowers and she likes to decorate her room with it, but it's sad that she got into the military and now doesn't have the time to stay at home or water her flowers anymore.
On getting to the store, she saw a beautiful flower and decided to buy, she asked the seller how much attention the flower needed due to the nature of her job, because she won't be able to water it well enough, the seller advised her to go for a less needy plant🌵, since she might sometimes be gone for more than six months. She found the response offensive and it kind of resulted into an argument between them, so she took the 🌵 and left angrily.
Fortunately she forgot her purse at the store which contained her card and few other things, the guy in charge of the store called her and she was pissed to find out he is the one due to the argument earlier, but he was able to tell her she forgot her purse at his store, so she had to calm down and find a way of collecting her purse. In the process of collecting her purse they became best of friends and that was what turned into a beautiful relationship. She got engaged last month and it was a big celebration for us cause she has been single for a while now and she clocked 30 this year, so this is one experience with a lot of lessons which I will be listing below
- Be kind to people because you just don't know who will be of help to you if the future .
- Be respectful so you don't chase the right person away.
- Do not underrate anyone because this guy happened to stand in for his mum that particular day he was selling flowers, he happens to be a tech guy in one of the well paying companies in Nigeria.
- Give people a chance to hear them out, if she didn't eventually listen to what he has to say, she wouldn't have been able to retrieve her purse.
- Have a good heart, he didn't decide to keep the purse because she was mad at him on the first day they met.
I will like to stop my listing here but I believe, if you toon your time to read through, you might get more lessons and a better understanding of my point of view.
This is my response to hive learners on the topic: what is the one thing that looked and felt terrible to you, but in the end it turned out to be a great thing on your part? What's the story behind it and what did that experience teach you?. Week79/01.
