DESPARATION; A MOTHER OF REGRET

We are in a century, were we no longer wait for things to happen in it time and season again. We delete patience inorder to make room for desperation as a permanent tenant in our lives.

Let's look at the story of a beautiful young lady called Uyai.

Uyai was a tall, slender, dark skin and bewitchingly beautiful lady who returned from serving the Nation after her NYSC without a husband.

She had 3 girl friends; Ima-Obong, Blessing and Joy who were spinsters just like her. Joy and Ima-Obong were unrepented flings that introduced Uyai into their flirtatious cabal. Meanwhile, Blessing was never in support of their flirtatious lifestyles. She was nicknamed "Any kind guy is OK'' by her friends because she was asked the kind of guy she needed as a husband and she said, "Any kind of guy the Lord gives to me is fine by me"

Uyai's mother, Mrs. Slyvanus John was in total support of Uyai's promscious behavior and used to advised her to come home with a millionaire guy and not a N20,000 salary earner who she will also have to feed when he is out of salary.

One month later, a taxi guy, Richard who had been a driver for Uyai and her friends during most of their outings came to ask Uyai's hands in marriage in front of her friends. Unsurprisingly, she reprimanded his request and rendered insults on him, along side her friends. She reminded Richard how classy she was and how he was just a common driver who can't afford to marry her because of his low status.

Two days after the proposal turn down, she met Charles at a club, a guy who returned from Thailand and was into drugs(cocaine). He could rarely make a complete sentence with scratching his head and sniffing.

She was blinded by his riches flaunt, the expensive wears he got for her and promises of taking her to Thailand too. Little did she know he was into drugs.

The prayers of Mrs. Slyvanus was answered because her daughter had brought home a millionaire guy has earlier advised. Her dreams of being addressed as Madam Cash finally came to reality as Charles and Uyai got married few months later.

After two months of the marriage, Charles began to find his wife less attractive, he paid less attention to her and started flirting with girls outside.

That led to serious issues that resorted to divorce.
Once Mrs. Charles became Miss. Uyai Slyvanus again.

By the way, Richard went ahead to propose to Blessing which she accepted and on their wedding day, something really shocking happened that left people in a flummoxed state. Richard came out well dressed on expensive wears with his group of wealthy friends and his parents. It didn't just stop there, he was introduced has a CEO of some pronounced companies in the nation. While people were still in a flummoxed state, Blessing his bride fainted but later regained her consciousness to still find everything has a reality.

Richard apologized for disguising himself to find true love while Uyai couldn't stand the shame and she left immediately with a teary eyes.

Dear steemians, there are many lessons to learn from this story and which I'm going to point out few.

• Desperation leads to life time mistakes that will make us learn the hard way.

• All that glitter is not gold. Some may be bronze hiding in the shadow of gold to glitter.

• Parents especially mothers should be in a better position of having a positive counseling sessions with her daughter to know where she needs help in.

• Uyai lost gold while picking stones.

• When you have patience for everything, you will never be disappointed at the end results.

Our ladies often make these mistakes and fall victims of circumstances.

Dear fellow steemit ladies, let us learn from this story in order not to make the same mistake and learn from it too. Place your self on checkmate to see which area of your life needs change.

Have a lovely day.
