Storytime: Very Much in Love 1
As I pushed open the door to the grocery store, I was immediately drawn to a vision of loveliness. A young girl, around my age, with a radiant smile and sparkling eyes, was browsing through the shelves. I felt a sudden jolt, my heart skipping a beat. All I could think was, “I wish I could be friends with her.”
Feeling a bit self-conscious about my casual attire, I didn’t dare stare too long. Instead, I followed her with my eyes, trying to be discreet. She seemed to sense my gaze and glanced my way, our eyes meeting for a brief moment. I quickly looked away, not wanting to appear too eager.
As she entered the fruit section, I found myself drawn to the same area. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the cash I had, hoping it would be enough for the items on my list. To my surprise, it was exactly the amount I needed. Just then, my phone beeped, and I saw a notification from my uncle, who had sent me some extra money. I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the timely boost.
The mysterious girl was now standing beside me, her basket filled with an assortment of colorful fruits. I opted for my favorite bananas, along with some cucumbers and groundnuts. As we both headed towards the checkout counter, I sensed she was amused by something, but I couldn’t quite tell what.
We reached the payment station, and I decided to use my phone to make the transaction. As I waited for the confirmation, she made her payment and turned to leave. In a split second, she accidentally bumped into me, and my phone slipped from my hand, falling to the ground. I bent down to pick it up, expecting an apology, but it didn’t come immediately.
As I reached for my phone, I felt a hand touch the spot where it had fallen. I looked up, and our eyes met once more. This time, it was different. Time seemed to slow down, and we shared a moment of pure connection. We both stood up, and she apologized profusely, her cheeks flushing. I brushed it off with a smile, and we went our separate ways, leaving the grocery store behind.
Little did I know, this chance encounter would be the start of something extraordinary…

I left the grocery store, still reeling from the unexpected encounter. My first slow mo, and it was with a stranger! I couldn’t shake off the feeling, wondering if I’d see her again. I hailed a tricycle and headed home, lost in thought.
As I entered my house, I saw my mom preparing for work. “Hey, mom,” I said, trying to sound casual. “I met someone at the grocery store today.”
She raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Who was it?”
I shrugged. “Just a girl. We bumped into each other, and…it was weird.”
Mom smiled knowingly. “Weird can be good, Gerald. Maybe you’ll see her again.”
I nodded, hoping so. Little did I know, fate had already set wheels in motion.
The next day, I found myself strolling through the city, trying to clear my head. I turned a corner and noticed a sign: “Computer Training Institute.” Something clicked, and I remembered the girl mentioning she was new in town. I took a chance and dialed the number on the sign.
“Hello, please, who is this, and how can I help you?” a warm voice answered.
“I’m Gerald Ford, and I’m interested in learning computer skills from your institution,” I replied.
“Great, dear! Please text ‘computer’ to this number on WhatsApp or via text, and we’ll send you our location.”
I ended the call, feeling a spark of excitement. Could this be the start of something new? Something that would bring me closer to the mysterious girl?

I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the phone as I waited for the text from the woman with the angelic voice. Every minute felt like an eternity, and I found myself refreshing the screen repeatedly, willing the message to appear. And then, it finally popped up – a notification from the Computer Training Institute. I read the text with a pot of joy brewing in my belly, my heart racing with excitement. Without hesitation, I grabbed the nearest cab and headed straight to Queen Elizabeth Plaza, my mind racing with possibilities.
As I entered the building, I was greeted by the receptionist – none other than the woman with the angelic voice. Her warm smile and sparkling eyes put me at ease, and I felt a sense of comfort in her presence. “Young man, you’re interested in computer training, right?” she asked, her voice like music to my ears.
“Yes, ma’am,” I replied, trying to sound confident.
She nodded and began processing my application. “You’ll need to return tomorrow to meet with the manager. She’s not available today, but I’ll make sure you’re all set for your first class.”
I left the plaza feeling hopeful, my mind whirling with thoughts of the mysterious girl and the possibilities that lay ahead. As I arrived home, I was greeted by the aroma of dinner wafting from the kitchen. I began preparing the meal reluctantly, my mind still preoccupied with the events of the day.
Just as I finished cooking, my mom and elder sisters arrived, and we sat down to eat together. As we savored the delicious meal, they asked about my day, and I shared my exciting news about the computer training center. My mom’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm, and she bombarded me with questions about the requirements and location.
After dinner, we settled into the living room, and I regaled them with stories of my adventure, from the mysterious girl at the grocery store to the angelic voice at the training institute. My family listened intently, their faces filled with warmth and encouragement.
As the night drew to a close, I retired to bed, my heart full of anticipation for the next day’s adventures. Little did I know, fate had more surprises in store for me…

The next day, I returned to Queen Elizabeth Plaza, my heart racing with excitement. I was greeted by the receptionist, who smiled warmly and led me to the manager’s office. As we walked, I couldn’t help but notice the elegant decor and the bustling atmosphere of the training center.
The manager, a poised and confident woman, welcomed me with a firm handshake. “Gerald, we’re glad you’re interested in our computer training program. We’ll be starting with the basics, and I must say, you’re in good hands.”
She introduced me to the instructor, a soft-spoken man with a kind face, who showed me to the training room. As we began the lesson, I noticed a familiar face among the students – the mysterious girl from the grocery store!
Our eyes met, and we exchanged a warm smile. I felt a sense of joy and relief, knowing that I had found her again. As the class progressed, we worked together on exercises, our hands touching occasionally, sending sparks of electricity through my body.
During the break, we chatted excitedly, sharing stories and laughter. I learned her name was Silvia, and she was new in town, just like me. We bonded over our shared experiences, and I felt a deep connection growing between us.
As the class ended, Silvia and I exchanged numbers, and I walked her out of the building, feeling like I was on cloud nine. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the city, and I knew that this was just the beginning of a beautiful love story…

As we strolled out of the building, Silvia and I discovered a shared love for adventure and exploring new places. We decided to grab some ice cream at a nearby parlor, and our conversation flowed effortlessly, like we had known each other for years.
With each passing minute, I found myself drawn to her sparkling eyes, her infectious laughter, and her kind heart. We talked about our dreams, our fears, and our passions, and I felt a deep connection growing between us.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the city, Silvia and I realized we had spent hours together. Reluctantly, we said our goodbyes, promising to meet again the next day.
The next few days flew by in a whirlwind of computer classes, laughter, and adventure. Silvia and I were inseparable, exploring the city, trying new foods, and sharing our stories. I felt like I had found a soulmate, a partner in crime, and a best friend all rolled into one.
One evening, as we watched the stars twinkling above, Silvia turned to me with a mischievous grin. “Gerald, let’s make a pact to always chase our dreams, to never give up on love, and to always support each other, no matter what.”
I smiled, my heart racing with excitement. “I promise, Silvia. Forever and always.”
And with that, we sealed our pact, our hearts filled with hope, love, and the promise of a bright future together…

As the days turned into weeks, Silvia and I grew closer, our bond strengthening with each passing moment. We started to share our deepest secrets, our fears, and our dreams. I confided in her about my struggles with anxiety, and she shared her own battles with self-doubt.
One evening, as we sat on a hill overlooking the city, Silvia turned to me with a gentle smile. “Gerald, I have something important to tell you. Something that might change everything.”
My heart skipped a beat as I gazed into her eyes, searching for answers. “What is it, Silvia? You can trust me.”
She took a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’m leaving soon, Gerald. My family is moving to another country, and I have to go with them.”
I felt like I had been punched in the gut, my world crumbling around me. “What? When? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
Silvia’s eyes welled up with tears, and I knew I had to be strong for her. “I was afraid of losing you, of never seeing you again. But I couldn’t keep it inside anymore.”
We hugged each other tightly, our tears mingling as we watched the stars twinkle above. I knew I had to make the most of the time we had left, to cherish every moment with the woman I loved.
The next day, Silvia and I decided to make a memory book together, filling it with pictures, notes, and mementos from our time together. As we worked on the book, our laughter and tears intertwined, creating a beautiful tapestry of our love story.

As we worked on the memory book, our fingers touched, and I felt a spark of electricity. Silvia looked up, her eyes locking onto mine, and I knew in that moment, I had to kiss her. I leaned in, my heart racing, and our lips met in a soft, gentle touch.
It was like the whole world had come to a standstill. The only thing that mattered was the warmth of her lips, the sweetness of her breath, and the love that we shared. We kissed again, and again, each one deeper and more passionate than the last.
As we pulled away, gasping for air, Silvia smiled up at me, her eyes shining with happiness. “I’ve wanted you to do that for so long, Gerald,” she whispered.
I grinned, feeling like the luckiest man alive. “I’ve wanted to do that for so long too, Silvia.”
We spent the rest of the day lost in our own little world, kissing, laughing, and cherishing every moment together. As the sun began to set, we sat on the hill once more, watching the stars twinkle to life.
Silvia snuggled into my side, her head on my shoulder, and I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close. We sat in comfortable silence, the only sound being the beating of our hearts.
“I don’t want to leave you, Gerald,” Silvia whispered, her voice barely audible.
“I don’t want you to leave me either, Silvia,” I replied, my voice filled with emotion. “But we’ll make this work, somehow. We’ll find a way to be together, no matter what.”

With only a few weeks left before Silvia’s departure, we decided to make the most of our time together. We planned a romantic getaway to a beautiful beach resort, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand.
As we arrived at the resort, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a chilled bottle of champagne. We spent our days lounging on the beach, swimming in the pool, and exploring the nearby islands.
One afternoon, as we were swimming in the pool, Silvia splashed water on me, and I chased her around, laughing. We played and splashed each other, our swimsuits clinging to our bodies. I pulled her close, and we shared a passionate kiss in the pool, the water rippling around us.
As we lay on the beach that evening, watching the sunset, Silvia turned to me with a mischievous grin. “Let’s make a sandcastle, Gerald!”
We spent the next hour building an elaborate castle, complete with towers and a moat. As we finished, Silvia leaned over and kissed me, her lips salty from the sea air.
As the night fell, we strolled along the beach, hand in hand, the stars twinkling above. We found a secluded spot, and I pulled her close, my heart racing with excitement.
“Silvia, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special. I love you, and I don’t want to lose you.”
She smiled, her eyes shining with tears. “I love you too, Gerald. We’ll make this work, somehow.”
As we embraced, the waves crashed against the shore, and I knew that our love would conquer all, no matter what lay ahead.

As we returned from our vacation, Silvia’s departure date loomed closer. We tried to make the most of our time together, but the tension was palpable. One day, while we were out shopping, Silvia’s phone rang. She answered, and her expression changed from happy to worried.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, feeling a sense of unease.
“It’s my mom,” she replied. “She’s not feeling well, and I need to go home early.”
I offered to accompany her, but she refused, saying she needed to be with her family alone. I understood, but felt a pang of disappointment.
As we parted ways, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. I tried calling her, but she didn’t answer. I sent messages, but they went unread.
Days passed, and I heard nothing from Silvia. I started to worry, wondering if she was okay. Then, a message arrived, brief and cryptic: “I need space, Gerald. Please respect my wishes.”
I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. What had I done wrong? I thought we were happy, in love, and committed to making this long-distance relationship work.
I tried calling again, but she didn’t answer. I was left with only silence, and a heart full of confusion and pain.

Days turned into weeks, and the silence between us grew thicker than the fog that rolled in from the ocean. I tried to reach out, to apologize, to make things right, but Silvia’s walls were up, and I couldn’t breach them.
I felt lost, alone, and adrift, like a ship without anchor or rudder. My heart ached with every passing moment, every unanswered call, every unread message.
One night, as I wandered along the beach, the stars twinkling above like diamonds, I saw a figure in the distance. As she drew closer, I recognized the graceful stride, the sparkling eyes, and the radiant smile.
Silvia.
My heart skipped a beat as she approached, her expression a mix of sadness and determination.
“Gerald, we need to talk,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
We sat on the sand, the waves washing over our feet, as she explained her silence. Her mom’s illness, her family’s struggles, and her own fears and doubts had overwhelmed her.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, Gerald. I just needed time to find myself, to figure out what I want.”
I listened, my heart heavy with understanding, as she poured out her soul.
“Silvia, I love you, no matter what. We’ll face this together, as long as you want me by your side.”
She smiled, tears streaming down her face, and we embraced, the ocean breeze carrying our whispers of forgiveness and love.
