THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Here I am sitting haunched in my bed ,tears trickling down my chubby face.Little

did I know that my own Mesh would be gone,i mean to be far away from me. Indeed
life is never a bed of roses but a combination of both terror and pain. Who tho
ught the most intimate and happy couple like Mesh and I would be divorced?The qu
estion tears my heart into unrepairable million pieces.
I was not that type of girl to call beautiful or to classify as hot but my round
big white eyes made my chubby face attractive. The slightly pink lips added a
spark in my face making me baby like .I was neither tall nor short though my bu
ddies still called Shody. At first ,I never considered myself as beautiful becau
se I grew in gang of guys so ghetto. I grew up and developed that boyish mind ,l
et alone my dressing. I was spotted with over sized shorts and golf shirt with
dirty sneakers every time,no dress for me.
Things reached a turning point after one midnight call. An anonymous call woke m
e up from the deep sleep. In a deep sleepy voice,i picked a phone
“Hello!Who am I talking to?”
“Well,I'm sure you are surprised to see a strange number” The voice retaliated.
I was rather annoyed instead of being be mused.
“Hey you ain't answering me,who the hell are you?”He didn't reply that so I cont
inued.”you ready to answer or not?”
“No..no..Wendy?I mean no harm to you,I 've been longing to talk to you but could
n't get hold of you in person, thats why I searched for your numbers until today
.”I could not deny the fact he had a sweet deep edgy voice that acted like a l
ullaby in my ears but I ignored the feeling.
“who...”I tried to disapprove but he just interrupted me.
Babe..relax,we will still discuss that later .all I wanted right now was you for
diner on Friday if you can have the chance. Will you?”The question sent the chi
ll into my bone,in as much as I wanted to see his sweet voice personally,i still
did want him to think i'm easy,besides he was a stranger.
“No!I will be busy,besides you are a complete stranger to me.”
“Oh well,I'm Mesh,I'm sure you heard of it before. so are you ok with Friday eve
ning?”
“Yha.”I replied half asleep,to tell the truth I had not heard what he said due t
o the distraction caused by his voice. He hanged off.
The next morning I woke up,i felt it must have been a dream yet it was not becau
se the very moment as
I wondered whether it was rea or not he called reminding me to be ready the nex
t day.I didnt have a nerve to deny,Mesh.i had heard of him before,he has been th
e most popular guy im mackbeth high school so which sensible girl would ignore d
ating such a wanted and irresistible guy?Not me I suppose.
Despite the fact that I had wanted to be with this guy,there was a little chirp
of fear intervening unanounced.I could figure out the right out fit so I decided
to be myself and be on my regular clothes except the clean sneakers for the for
st time inmy entire life.
Dissapointment welled on me to realise that I had been thirty minutes late.Troub
led as to what to do when I arrive,i manage to whisper,
“Sorry im late.”
Apology accepted.Having said that he stole a kiss from me.i couldnt believed,it
was a complete flattery,i began to fall for his charms from that time on.Indeed
it was love at first sight.If ever there have been people to be awarded for thei
r ability to please their girls,Mesh would be given the first price.From that da
y on we went out every weekend.Everything was still plain sailing up until my fr
iend Dicky arrived home from their three months holidays in Sychelles.The moment
I heard she had arrived,happiness made its triumphant entry in my heart at the
eagerness of spiling this good news to her but alas!when I told her I got the bo
yfrient,her hazel eyes couldnt face me,i could read jealousy in her eyes.at last
she managed to utter a word saying she was happy for me.I totally failed to un
derstand her new behaviour.Little did I know that she was going to set me up and
blackmail me to my boyfriend.Dicky spent three days without seeing me which was
so unusual for her to but I thought she was still exhausted from her lonfg hour
s of travel.I leaped for joy when answering a door I found her hidden behind lot
s of fruits and snacks with my favourate movie in hand'HOMECOMING QUEEN.She appe
ared all happy like I know her so I totally became free to even leave her alone
in my room as I served ourselves drinks and the cupcakes I made.
My mistake beagan there,on my absence,she emailed Mesh telling him how I have f
ound a new boyfriend not wanting to hear from her any more.She even stole his nu
mbers from my phone and brided a some guy on the streets to call him claiming to
be my new guy.The next day Dicky called me to dine out with her I agreed withou
t any hesitation because I valued our friendship so much but to my utter dismay
as I arrived in Lagasvig I potted her with a strange,slim tall guy who looked as
if for ages he hadnt taken a bath until today when he had to come to this costl
y restaurent.well he didnt look smart to me but I ignored the fact and greeted t
hem with a smile.Oh my God! the poor guy was so funny but immediately even befor
e Dicky could introduce him,she made an excuse to go to the bath room,after few
minutes since she left, I was still histerycally laughing at the strangers jokes
when I saw Mesh watching me wih a total disgust.my jaws dropped in dissapointme
nt as he hastily left without a word to me.I ran after him trying to explain but
he jerked and shouted at me.
“Is that what you left me for?”
“Wendy I loved you,taken care of you.what else did you want me to do?”
He left me sobbing there with no one to console my broken heart.
Slowly the scope of my mind began to function,i realised that Dicky must have be
en after this.The question was,why did she act so friendly again,who was that st
ranger and why was he with her?besides he was no more seen after that incident.w
hy did she dissapear,and what was she doing where ever she was.
This has been a lesson to never be forgotten that,there is more to life than mee
ts the eye,here I am in the mist of agony because of my belated friend,whom I th
ought we loved eachother but it seems I was highly mistaken..i hope some day Mes
h will realise the truth and we will be together again.what I know is,if you lov
e something,set it free,if its yours,it will come back to you,if it doesnt,it ne
ver was..
REALY LIFE IS NEVER ONE SWEET SONG,IF YOU PICK A ROSE BEWARE OF ITS THORNS..
