What I Ate on Valentine’s Day

God is love, therefore, Valentine Day is the celebration of God.

Yet mostly, Valentine’s Day is the lovers’ dream. A day set aside to openly spread love. Lovers might choose to hang out, take a trip or vacation or book a hotel room to have a special time. Although, every day is Valentine’s Day if one is in a good relationship. The love to be shared is agape because there is no other love but that. Gifts, mostly flowers, candies, chocolate, gadgets, plots of land, cars, boxes of food are distributed. It is limitless depending on what one wants to do for the one they love or people they love.

Some persons spend time with their family and friends and some well-meaning individuals especially celebrities share goodies with motherless homes and orphanages.

On Valentine’s Day, all restaurants, bars, eateries, hotels, malls are usually fully booked or crowded. Roads crammed, traffic jam extending. People are known for spending money that day so the big companies are always ready to serve.

Everything eaten, worn or done are usually on the exorbitant side.

So a busy Radio Presenter like me, thanks goodness, I was not on shift that Sunday and after church service, I went down to my man’s house to ask why he wasn’t in church and maybe join other things. Although, we had no plans yet but when I got there.

Wait!

You are thinking I will meet a surprise?

Ok, stop thinking, I met no surprise or yes I met a surprise, he was working intensively. His fingers were fixed on the keyboards writing a proposal for a thousand-dollar contract.

His house was empty of food but for the rice and stew he had made and eaten half, garri, milk and chocolate but I needed to eat, I needed to break my fast that noon.

We exchanged pleasantries and talked in short sentences before he fully went back to work. I sat wishing we were in a Limou or a cruise dinning and wining, kissing and touching.

The next thing I find myself craving was coke and bread. At least he laughed to my sudden craving and called it ‘brick-layer’ food.

Ladies and gentlemen, it was a money deal on my man so I helped him with few ideas, ate my brick-layer food and slept for the Val’s Day.

Take it easy with life especially in important and productive moments so you don’t follow trends and end up ruining great things.
