As the waves crashed on the restless sand, and the birds sang sweet melodies in the sky. My quest for love has just begun. Walking on the lovely shores of Labadi beach, I felt slow excitement rising, it is a good sign. <\/p>\n
At long last I was going to meet my heart desire, the beauty in my dreams, my \u201cmissing rib\u201d. Love they say; \u201cis very close, if only you\u2019ll take a second look\u201d. This time, I had my \u201cspy glasses\u201d and wasn\u2019t ready to let the tiniest thin slip by without me noticing.
My quest for love began one faithful day, after months of preparations and grooming. I was now all set to find my \u201cmissing rib\u201d. <\/p>\n
At about 8am on that faithful morning, I woke with smiles all over my face and love filled eyes. As usual, mum walks to my room for \u201cmorning check-ups\u201d. Kwadwo; how was your night? She asked. I foolishly answered \u201cOh my God! I had the best dream in my entire life\u201d. She smiled and left without a word. I quickly got up from my bed and rushed to the bathroom. After about an hour and half, I finished all I needed to do in there and was ready to get my\u201d swag on\u201d. I wore my best Ralph Lauren polo shirt; my big sister gave me, to match my new burton jeans and Jordan kicks which was also given to me by my brother in-law on my birthday. I topped it all with \u201cXY\u201d by Boss, which I stole from my brother\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
With hot blood running in my veins and the search for love running through my mind, I forgot to take my breakfast. But it was ok, my search for love at that hour was more important than breakfast and nothing really seems to matter. I filled my wallet with all my life savings and was ready to set off, I told mum I was going to visit a friend but told my sister to wish me luck. Luck! My sister exclaimed, but there was no time to engage in a lengthy dialogue with an \u201cinquisitive sister\u201d, that\u2019s how I mostly called her. I slammed the door behind me and shouted goodbye, will see you guys in the evening. I quickly hurried to the nearest bus stop to catch a taxi. This time, I refused to take my usual \u201ctrotro\u201d. In my mind I was thinking, what if I picked a \u201ctrotro\u201d and she saw me. Hmm… Actually, I wasn\u2019t ready to take that risk, you know? In fact, I was ready to pay a lot to impress on this \u201cspecial day\u201d.<\/p>\n
Luckily, an empty taxi pulled over and I quickly jumped in. The driver asked politely; \u201cmassa, where you dey go\u201d? I hurriedly said; to the Labadi beach, but I really need to meet someone urgent, I would be glad if you can take the shortest possible route, thank you. The driver quickly made a right turn at the next junction to avoid the traffic in Accra. I was so relieved we had escaped the heavy traffic and it won\u2019t be long for me to reach my destination. <\/p>\n
Realizing, I forgot to say my prayers in the morning, I speedily shut my eyes to say a brief one. In my prayer; \u201coh lord, I\u2019m grateful for the privilege to see another great day, I bless you for who you are and I pray that as I go out today, you make my day a successful one. Put smiles on my face and bring me back safely in your precious sons name, Jesus…. amen\u201d.<\/p>\n
As I was about to open my eyes, I heard a big BOOM! It felt like the sun had just fallen from the skies. Oh my God! We had a flat tyre. I turn to the driver and asked; so what are we going to do about this? He assured; \u201cmassa\u201d everything is going to be alright. He opened the trunk of his car, got some tools out and removed the miserable tyre. He had no spare tyre too. Whew! What a nightmare! Please get these things fixed as soon as possible, I need to see someone, urgent, you know? Yes sir! That was his last words as he jumped onto a passing vehicle and off he went. I was left in the scorching sun all alone sweating profusely, as if I just finished a hundred meter race.
I turned to my watch and it was almost 2 minutes to 2 pm and the driver was still not back. <\/p>\n
How I wished I could jump onto another taxi but unfortunately none passed by. I was just far from the main road and cars hardly passed here. I felt so disappointed, but didn\u2019t want to give up yet. \u201cTo give up and return home will make you one hell of a coward. You only need to wait a little bit longer\u201d, I said to console myself. I took a second glance at my watch and it was 30minutes past 3pm already but the \u201cbloody driver\u201d wasn\u2019t back. This time my temperature shot up and my blood were boiling, I was so angry that I could even kill a lion with my bare hands.<\/p>\n
In about 20minutes I saw a figure coming from afar carrying something, even though I couldn\u2019t see clearly who the person was and what he or she was carrying? I was 120 percent sure it was the driver but if it wasn\u2019t? Asem! Heaven would receive another soul this hot afternoon. Across the far end, I heard the figure shouting \u201cmassa I dey come oo\u201d. At that exact moment, the anger vanished and I felt a soft wind of relief all over my body. <\/p>\n
I cried out; don\u2019t worry just hurry up and get this thing fixed for me. In some few minutes the car was back to life and we were ready to hit the road. Even though, I wasn\u2019t really bothered, he kept apologizing all the way till we got to the beach. At the sight of the beautiful sea, I felt strong excitement and hopes were high. At about 5pm, I was already at the beach, although the sun was slowly dying and giving way to darkness, I still wasn\u2019t bothered. I could still smell love in the air; it was now time for me to wonder. Where my \u201cmissing rib\u201d could be hiding? My quest for love has only begun…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
