Who is wrong?.
May 27th, 2022.
The world children's day. A day to celebrate and appreciate our children and all the children around us.
To all the children out there: "Happy children's day," wishing you more of this day, I'm sure you had lots of fun. Lol, those days when I was still a child, I always look forward to eating rice and chicken in school or in church, the gifts and the dresses. I participated in children's day activities; like choreography, drama, choir ministration, memory verse and the likes. It was fun. Infact, being a child is fun, they deserve to be celebrated especially because they'll soon grow up to face what we; adults are facing.
Sighs...
We thank God for growth.
Without further ado, let's delve into today's blog topic.
So for today's blog, I'll be writing a story, a story that'll have a question at the end. I'll love for my dearest readers to air their views.
Some people, due to either their past experiences or insecurities; don't trust their partners easily and because of this lack of trust they have, they put their partners to a test.
For some, they trust their partners so much and put them to some kind of test to test their faithfulness and probably boast to their friends about how great their partners are.
I actually did this or something similar when I was plurally single.
But the question is: "is it actually right or proper to do such?."
The Story.
There were two lovers who loved themselves dearly, the female was named "Clara" and the male was "Paul." These two had been dating ever since their secondary school years, they promised themselves to get married once they were done with their education and when they are fully settled.
Oh! How rosy it was, Clara was undoubtedly a gorgeous and everyone's wannabe with kind of lady. She was most men choice. There was this time these lovers went to the mall to get some things, on their way out, a guy who drove a better looking posh car; walked up to Clara to ask for her digit. She smiled and politely turned him down, she boldly and happily told him she was taken and her boyfriend was the one dropping off things in the boot. The boy had tried cajoling her, but she had bluntly refused.
The rate at which Clara turned almost every guy down, both in Paul's presence and in his absence, made Paul trust her more. He could boldly beat his chest and say: "No!, Clara can never cheat on me, even if I'm far away or out of the country for years, my baby would never betray our love."
That was how Paul raised his shoulders whenever his friends dared to compare his beloved Clara to the "all girls are the same" phrase.
Paul: Not my baby girl, my baby girl can never do it. You can't even get her number and you're here; talking about getting her heart. Clara is not those regular type of girls ooh. My baby is 100% loyal.
(After Paul said this during one of his regular Hangouts with the guys, one of his friends; named Kelvin, stood up boldly and told Paul that he'll get his girl, Paul first eyed him from head to toes and bursted out into some sort of laughter, the other friends urged Paul and told Paul to try Kelvin, that if Kelvin of all people didn't get Clara, then they'll accept that Clara is different from other girls).
Paul: (thinks for awhile) good deal, not a bad idea, fine...the deal is on, I'll give you two months to accomplish this. I'll be away for two months and I'll leave you alone to try your luck. (He said hysterically and laughed once more, he dropped some money on the table and told his friend that he'll be given more if Clara falls).
Hmmm, what are my readers thinking?. Lol, I know already, you've all gotten the gist, so let's not prolong this further.
Kelvin shot his shots, and as usual, Clara didn't catch those shots at first, unfortunately for Paul, Kelvin got to know things that Clara loved so much, things that Paul; who knew her for years had no idea of or prolly neglected.
The goodnews was that most of what Clara liked was practically what Kelvin fancied. There grew a certain chemistry as Kelvin kept helping Clara attain her career goals. After a month, Kelvin grew to love Clara and vice versa. Clara suddenly became not too interested in Paul anymore, she became confused as to what or who she really wanted.
Here's Paul, who she had been with for years, who she had always thought she was connected to, and here's Kelvin who she met a month back and it looks like she has known him for years.
Kelvin also would never had thought that he would find love with Clara. He never would have thought that Clara would make him love again.
Paul was left in the air, well Paul lost Clara to Kelvin. There was a little rift between Clara and Kelvin when she found out that the foundation of their friendship was built on lies, this was later settled and trust me; Clara didn't take it likely with Paul when she found out that he had put her to a test.
Would you blame Paul for putting Clara to a test?
Would you blame Clara for not passing the test and falling in love with Kelvin?
Would you blame Kelvin for falling in love with Clara instead of focusing on the bet?
Or, would you rather blame love?
Personally, I feel Paul should never had put Clara to a test, your friends shouldn't make you do things especially when it concerns your love life, it's so wrong to use your friend or anybody to test your lover.
Clara is human, I guess Paul was used as a tool to connect her to her soulmate. She fell for Kelvin, only because she felt a certain way with him, a way she had never felt since all the years she had been with Paul.
Disclaimer: That Clara fell for Paul, doesn't mean that what the boys debated on Is actually true, or that all girls are the same...no, quite far from it. It is what it is. Love happened.
I stand to be corrected though, but 90% of people who used their friends or someone else to test their lovers; ended up loosing their lovers to them.
This remnds me to another thing really similar: When people are seeing a men and women in relationship there is a kind of jealousy so it is common they invent some stories and saying to the men or women to go to the test part or even directly trying to getting an answer from other partner for something that did never happens. This is attitude of people sadly.
