STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

MEETING PEOPLE

Hello, Stella. I suggest we talk about different kinds of people we've met and things we learned, that put us off or endeared them to us. It's not necessarily a romantic meeting.

I have this one of a man I met in my new area. I was put off by how he talked badly about everyone else but himself.

One day, I went to get something at the bus stop and didn't go with my purse, I intended to use transfer but my phone developed a fault with the screen. I was not in the mood to go back home. I really needed to get this drug. While standing near my customer's stand and pondering what to do with my poor self, a man with rotund belly came and started all his talks. I gave him my number, I'm new in the area and open to making acquaintance, but I made a mistake with this one.

 Not up to 3 minutes, he called and asked me to meet him at a bar. I said ok but didn't move as I was sorting myself and not in the mood to sit with anybody. He started to Whatsapp and all. I found a way to block him.

A few days later, he saw me on my way back from work and asked why I didn't come as I had said the other day. I told him I was trying to fix my phone. I didn't land before he asked to see the phone. When he saw it, he said he thought I was lying. He did many eeyas and complained about how he wanted me to meet with someone that day. The person came back from Europe and was spending so much and wished I had joined because he wanted me to eat his money. He said he could never spend like that but since it was free, he enjoyed himself. ( Red alert)

One thing this man never failed to do was try to smack my face like he was talking to his baby or younger sibling. He would tap my back and tell me with his igbo accent to "shut up". Hmm, I no talk, na me dey find how to get space to dey sell for the new area na. He collected my phone, opened it even after I told him I'd take it to my person in a day's time because I couldn't meet with said person during working hours. This man stubbornly opened it, looked and spoilt the power button which I had just repaired. I was mad but maintained my cool and went home. Every time, he would call out to me but I'd greet and walk away.
Mr engineer noticed I didn't give him face again and stopped calling out.

 Christmas Eve I met him at a store. We greeted and he asked if he had offended me, I said no and continued my shopping. I saw him with a woman and a child but he said he came alone. I pretended not to have noticed and o didn't ask because I wasn't interested. Moving on, he came and offered to show me where I can get it without troubles. I thanked him and followed him. After I got what I needed, he said I should please sit and talk a bit because he never expected to see me at that time. I thought of my power button and decided to drink my money back. ( Yes, I'm petty like that)

We sat and I took malt but he kept insisting I took alcohol. The story started about having someone close to him who was owing him some money and was living around where we were. He also talked about how the man was not his friend really but just like an acquaintance although he didn't say that perfectly. 

I listened all through it but I was just wondering, like what's my business? This man did not stop he kept talking then he moved to family. How he had a wicked Uncle that loved him but had a wife that hated him and destroyed their relationship. The uncle didn't settle him well and was surprised at his success. Haa! Uncle, all this talk on top what na?

I just notice a pattern with him. Everyone was stupid, useless, wicked and loquacious but he was the best amongst them all. He claimed he had a pure heart and never thought evil of anyone. I sha calculated the money I used in repairing my power button and chop pepper soup with more bottles of malt. Before you come for me, he never apologized for the spoilt button but tapped my mouth and said when I repaired the screen it would be done. For the times I sat near this man, he was always shutting me up and smacked me. 

He even said I like argument because I asked why he was saying what he said. I was less busy and bored so I entertained him for those hours. In my mind, I said God forbid evil around me. If I kept entertaining him, he would start to bad mouth me to others. He even had the audacity to try and touch me inappropriately. I warned him off and this man child said I was embarrassing him. I told him he had no right to touch me. He said " come on stop embarrassing yourself." I just blocked him and left him to clear the bill. It was nothing but I felt good.

Has anybody ever met someone like that? Pointing at people and talking about their weakness to someone you just met.....

What is all this?Why did you even give him audience?People like this cannot do this with me because they wont even get the chance...He even had the nerve to try and touch you?JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, u are the problem with this Narrative.......What in heavens name even gave him that liver?#Please wise up and stop letting people see your weakness waaaaaaaaaaa
