THIS IS HIS CONFESSION

(Continuity of “THE LUV SURGERY; wasn’t successful)

“I was passionately waiting for her. I took a deep breath and buried my head in deep thought. Aloofness and Solitude tickled my emotional gear and a stream of tears flowed down my face. I couldn’t help it but rather saw myself sentimentally weeping gentlemanly in my plushy apartment. Oh…what could be happening to me? I asked. This is strange. I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw her whispering into my ears.

Yes, I saw her. She whispered soothingly and cooingly to me. Slowly, she said; I’m at your back. I flinched and joyously swayed my head backward. Surprisingly, I was in a trance. “Hallucination”, they call it. But I just saw Everlove. I can’t believe nature could also tease me”
Fred ponders deeply…

Fred reminiscing:
Everything was just fine. I felt comfortable with her. Her smiles shown forth openly by her beaming whitish set of teeth always spelt “I will forever remain”. She never disclosed a single clue that things would change.

(Fred shouts in emotional agony which scares his Mother as she quickly troops into Fred’s apartment. His mother frightfully and frighteningly wraps her caring arms around Fred and cuddles him like a fragile kid)

My son, what could be troubling you? Why did you shout the hell out of your Mum?

Mother asks and continues:
Darling, you know I’m your mother. Don’t be intimidated but confide in me.

(Fred then calms down as if a heavy load of obsession has been lifted from him)

He then finds his voice and allows those choking silent words to emerge from his mouth:
Mum, I saw her and she did not wait for me. I thought she had come to stay but realized nature was behind such emotional ridicule.

Mum shockingly implores:
She…! Who is she?

Fred: Everlove.

(Fred had once discussed Everlove with his mother)

Mother: My boy, is that why you shouted?

Fred: Yes, Mum. I could not control my emotions. Sorry if I scared you.

Mother: No, my dear. You don’t have to be sorry. It is okay to feel this way but
tell me how much you loved this Everlove.

Fred: You can bet my life on it.

Mother: Really…! I can see my little boy is an adult now. (The mother pulls his
legs a little bit) Well, son, loving somebody is not a bad idea but loving somebody when your life is on a bet could be dicey. I have known my son all these years to be a very good and determined child but my dear, if you can let go of her, please do it because if you truly love her you will do just that.

Fred: Mum, I don’t understand.

Mother: If you truly love her as you said, then, let her be. This will prove your true love for her. Think about this and I bet you this is the surest way to show her your commitment. Food is ready.

Fred: I will join you soon.

(Mother exits and Fred proceeds with contemplation)

What does my Mum mean by I should let her go? If I do that, it will definitely mean I don’t love her.

Fred’s inner man 1 interjects:
Don’t be stupid. Letting her go surely will mean you are a loser. Fight and keep fighting till you win.

Fred’s inner man 2 swiftly shuts his rival up and says:
Fred, if you sincerely love her, then, let go of her. Love is not a boxing bout. There is nothing like “I lose or win” but rather love is a bond that two persons sign. Look at the brighter side, brother.
Letting Everlove remain in her love shell doesn’t destroy the bond but strengthens it mightily since it signifies that you both have fulfilled the core promise of making love, a bond. Tearing yourself apart rather ruins the bond because Everlove has chosen her path and is waiting for you to choose yours so that the bond can be successfully signed by both of you.

Fred asks: But why should this be a sad end.

Inner man 2: It’s never a sad end but a happy beginning.

(Fred’s inner men dissipate into the thin air like astonishing Guardian Angels)

The clock ticking and Fred still indecisive:
I can’t sit idly and watch Everlove become a prey to a seemingly opportunistic predator.

He pauses and as if his head being smacked against a wall responds to himself:
Oooosh…! That’s hurtful.

(He then weighs and balances his thoughts against those of his mother and inner brothers)

“…Life is a flashback and a traffic light. Sometimes, you have to look back and forth to sharpen the edge of your life. Several times too, your life hits the red light and everything you have hard-earned in life extinguishes but you wait patiently and look up as the Yellow light switches on, giving you much hope and oomph that the Green light will sooner or later turn on…”
Fred concludes with a decision…

THE LUV SURGERY; wasn't successful

He tells his story…

Born in 1987 on a certain bright beautiful morning at a suburb of his motherland, he was a cute immaculate guy with judicious perspective of life. Growing up as a well-prepared lad ready to embrace his future with maximum alacrity and determination, he was thought of by all and sundry who saw him appear from the womb of a virtuous woman as a blessing. Bouncing baby boy, the doctor said. Beautiful baby boy the parents concluded and, a smart kid, the others perceived.


Smiles on his face melted the parents’ hearts and illuminated the darkness that obscured their chances to ever conceive as they approached the church altar to dedicate him to his creator and maker of life. The Pastor raised him high to the heavens and gave thanks to the Ancient of days. This symbolic action ushered him into the frontiers of the world. He saw things happening but could not understand them. He struggled to walk but could not stand. He heard people say “Keep Trying” but thought it was a mirage.


Sucking his Mum’s breast, he was fed with supernatural milk that opened his eyes and mind. He read his temperament, body language, and character traits, and was naturally activated to the realities of life. He could now understand his existence and essence in the universe. His family orientation made him strong, smart, and bold. He always felt that he belonged to a system that will never let him down. This he learned was his first signal of an unconditional love. Called by his maiden name, Fred was a very clever guy and his sense of judgement was one that was always commended by the elderly.


Reaching the zenith of adolescence, Fred knew he had come of age and passing his West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), he knew he had a lot to learn about life. Getting ready to enter the University, Fred’s joy was inexplicable. He remembers his parents sat him down one quiet evening and sermonized him about the challenges of the world. He remembers his parents told him to be very much studious and circumspect as he could easily be swayed off by life on campus.

“Thank you, I am very grateful for this parental advice. I promise I will be very vigilant and not brook the nonsense of life.” Fred assured his parents.


At that point, he forgot the saying; it is easier said than done. But there was one vital quality nature and no one could take away from him which was his commitment to God. Fred was pious and revered God very much. In 2007, his dream to further his education materialized as in the twinkling of an eye, he made a swift jump onto the campus of University of Ghana, popularly known as Legon. Fred’s first year on campus brought into play his willingness and dedication to comply with the parents’ genuine reasons to hold onto their advice.


As if the tentacles of life would not make a quick turn to grip the neck of Fred; he was noticed virtually everyday in possession of his books and seriously skimming every single lecture note he collated. Fred was very introvert, reclusive, and determined. He hardly made male friends in school, not to talk of female friends.


Due to this attitude, many of the students taunted him as shy of ladies and classified him as “Mr. P.O.P”, a term, only the students understood. But Fred was less perturbed since he faced a similar blow in his historic life archives. He thought they were just envious of his morality but later realized they were not interested in attacking his morality. Instead, the lot of students only wanted him to wake up to the necessity of being friendly and receptive.


Since there is time for everything, fortunately or unfortunately, Fred could not stand the heat any longer. He therefore justified the actions of those students who opposed his strict-stuck character by the thought that no human can live alone. This paved a way in his heart to meet a very lovely intimate companion.

Fred talking:
I saw this lady in my class and could not take my eyes and mind off her. I kept stealing glances at her with no apparent reason. I guess I was blindfolded and darkened by my inability to accommodate people in my life. Until my heart was fully activated to the consciousness of making friends, I wouldn’t have realized such beauty of a lady leaning beside my seat. Wow…! Can’t let go of her.

Hello, I’m Fred.

Hi, I’m Everlove. (This starts the conversation.)


Fred continues: Are you in this class?

Everlove: What sort of question is that?

Fred: Oh, don’t get offended. I guess I have been stupid to think all this while that you were a ghost in our midst. Frankly, I never became conscious of your beauty until such dark veil was removed from my face.

Everlove: Am I supposed to take it as a compliment?

Fred: The ball is in your court. Anyway, will you be my friend?

Everlove: Hahahaa…why should I? You might have thought I am so cheap.
Fred: Nope. I rather think you are my friend already.

She responds: You must be crazy.

(The conversation continues till the soft heart of a lady was revealed to welcome Fred into the life of Everlove)


Their friendship clicked and was erected on a pure casual foundation. As time went on, Fred and Everlove were seen together like they were glued to each other for the rest of their lives. If you saw Fred somewhere and did not see Everlove, then, you might have miscalculated their chemistry of friendship. Their friendship became the topic of the day as groups were formed on campus to weigh the purity of their friendship against its odds. But one ingredient that the groups lacked was the fact that Fred never thought beyond friendship so far as Everlove was concerned. He keenly treated their friendship as casual as it deserves.


In fact, Fred and Everlove virtually did everything together. When trips were organized in school, they were always caught hanging out together. In an interview with Fred, he made it simple and clear to me that he felt very happy and comfortable around Everlove, and never thought of obliterating their friendship. He predicated that the very moment there will be a crack in their friendship, it will be very difficult to let go of her.I further asked; does it confirm that you are head over heels in love with her? He responded; not really…I don’t know.


When things seemed okay for Fred and Everlove’s friendship, little did Fred know that somebody was gradually roping himself into Everlove’s love pot. Fred told me he didn’t know his heart status towards Everlove but in fact, the truth is; he earnestly and unflinchingly adored her to the fullest. Fred was only flummoxed by the fear of messing up their friendship but what he could not ever deny was the fact that he, in plain terms, had fallen in love with Everlove.


His best colleagues suggested he makes the best of such acquaintance that had induced him to sometimes act abnormally, therefore, revealing the love symptoms in him. Fred gradually realized he could no longer battle with his love cells towards
Everlove and as a result, decided to select an appropriate day and time to make his intention known to who he perceives as his dream girl.


It was a successful Wednesday and right after lectures, as usual, Fred escorted Everlove to her destination. Within that moment, he accepted to make a swift move and declare his intention with no intimidation, fear or contradiction. As Everlove bade him “Goodbye”, Fred knew the time was due to say what seems easy but the world has made it difficult and coyly to say.

He began stammering in order not to deviate from the usual custom.

Fred: Errrrrr….mmm…Everlove, can you wait a minute?

Everlove excitedly responds: Oh, yes.

(The exciting look on Everlove’s face entices Fred to think “Bingo”, the plan will work)

Fred: I have been wondering about something for quite some time now.

And…errrmmm…would like to make it known to you. (The inner person in Fred pinches him and says to him “Hurry up, she is getting bored”)
Over the years now, you’ve been my source of joy and comfortability. I really cherish our friendship but to be very honest with you, I couldn’t hold back my sentiments for you.
(As if something has choked his throat; he coughs and continues. This time, keeping it simple and short; “KISS”.)


I love you, Everlove and I want you to be my girlfriend.
(Everlove inhales and exhales strongly and briefly. She then releases a deadly missile in the heart of Fred.)

Everlove: Fred, I admit you have been a very good gentleman to me but… (Hello! what are you thinking? No, I guess. Well, let’s see how she puts it)

Everlove continues; but we can’t click together. There’s a single character trait about you I can’t stand. You are irritating. Goodbye, I have to sleep.
Fred: Goodnight but keep in mind, I sincerely love you.

Everlove: Forget it, Fred.
(Fred then calls his friend, Paul, who also happens to be a trustworthy friend of
Everlove and implores of him to convince her.)


The following day, to Fred’s ultimate surprise, the earlier rumors he paid little or no attention to were made manifest as he saw Everlove together with Francis, a guy who few or nobody thought could induce Everlove to fall in love with.


Francis was highly perceived to be a rascal and therefore impossible to win the heart of such a descent daughter of Eve. The more people slammed Everlove’s sudden relationship with Francis, the greater Everlove became firm on her decision to surrender her heart to Francis. Fred loved Everlove sincerely to the extent that he could not just move on without her and dreaded this guy might be exploiting her.


Gradually, they headed towards their “Graduation day” and even after completion of school, Fred still looks forward to the hope that one day, just one day, she might draw back to his side but I say:

“Fred, you need to face the truth and move on with your life. What lies ahead is far more significant and feasible than what occurred in the past. Deaden your love cells for your first love and revive it for the next trinket to find. Because you are stagnant, you can not see the bountiful trinkets awaiting you. My dearest friend, fight for your front and leave your back to take care of itself…”
to be continued...
