My Soulmate.

I am so joyful and can remain a best friend if you don’t trespass or claim that you want an end to all our friendship. I remember a few days ago when I met with a friend of mine from secondary school. We departed after our final exams and we never got in contact since then.

Muhammad was so friendly and kind to me. I liked his elder sister because of her calm and lovely ways. But I know I can't even dare to take a step towards proposing or thinking of marrying her. But if she were to be his younger sis I would've never let her escape my hands.

Even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, we had a quick conversation and I was like.

Boss man! Long time no see. Where have you been hiding? I greeted with a bold smile on my face.

Muhammad quickly relaxed the hug we had and looked at my face again. Instead of him answering my question he touched my cheeks briefly and added.

This man! You are so fresh like cow milk. What have you been eating over the years? He asked curiously.

I blushed so hard at his words and took some steps backward to finish up my smile.

You are not serious. I responded (Smiling and trying to extend my hands to him for the fifth handshake.)

But sincerely. Muhammad how are your wives and children?? I asked.

Don't tell me you don’t have one. I quickly added.

Abdulqudus! Do I look like someone who can harbor a wife? 😂. Muhammad reluctantly responded.

We both smiled and dragged each other across the drainage in front of the mosque where we just concluded our prayers and then he was like “Should he escort me or i should be the one escorting him”.

I quickly turned my feet towards the direction of his house and dragged him by my side. We walked together remembering the old times when we would walk home from school down to his house and then he would escort me some steps away from his home.

All of a sudden he halted and asked me.

What of your cousins?? The twins.

I responded by telling them how long it's been since I got in touch with them.

He remembered how my cousins always disguised themselves in class like they were not even family members to me. But I never cared about that. I would always remain myself no matter what. And he said that's what he cherishes about me.

I told him about how they have been furthering their studies and also asked about his studies. I realized I had to halt the topic of conversation and have us discuss something else. But I knew Muhammad would never stop pulling my legs.

Hey! What of SOULMATE! 😂. He exclaimed all of a sudden.

Which soulmate again? I asked out of confusion.

He felt the need to remind me about the girl I used to crush on while we were in school. Immediately I recalled her name and all of those scenes back then.

I was pressured to give him a tap on the back as I smiled and asked.

So you dont forget things?

How can I dare forget your soulmate, he responded jokingly.

He knew I was a fool of love back then. He never had any girl but he is always ready to make fun of everything I do for love.

Rahmah is a beautiful young lady. She has a nice stature and her voice is so soothing whenever she speaks. You would always want to listen to her. There were times when she stood up to ask questions in the class and everyone kept staring at her.

I have always thought about a time when I would be chanced to profess my love and feelings to her. But I wasn’t chanced. I am the shy type who can't even raise my face to look at a girl.

Back then it was either we write our love messages in a notebook piece and send it to those we have a crush on. So i was forced to do this by my Muhammad who happened to know how much I love to be with Rahmah

He would advise me on how other guys would take advantage of not expressing myself on time. So I had no choice but to stick to his words. And the day came when i wrote my love message to her. I couldn’t give it to her myself so I pleaded with Muhammad to help me out.

Muhammad out of fun opened the love letter I had folded and read it. Then he saw in my conclusion where I addressed her as “My Soulmate”

Ever since then, even though I got rejected by Rahmah. Muhammad never stopped pulling my legs by reminding me of being rejected by My Soulmate.

I waited for a day Muhammed would also fall in love with someone so i can take that as an advantage. But even till our recent meet up he never had a girl in his life.
