With the constant effort to achieve, Eraye pushed very hard even though it was just a little local tea she sold at the junction not far from where she lives.
Eraye did have great passion for her tea business but sold much more than tea to her customers, she sold herself and that made her so popular so much that most Men would stop by late at night, with a code already understood by Eraye. ''Eraye, I really need some hot tea tonight if you don't mind''.
She didn't care about what people in her community thought of her, she carried herself with so much pride, it became hard to understand how she managed the situation considering the kind of impression the Men in the community had about her.
Eraye's tea business functioned for as early as 5:00am to the wee hours of 12:00am, in the comfort of some armed police men who sat by for services they expected from her.
She took pride in being the centre of attraction around the Men who came by for her tea and other services.
One hot Saturday afternoon, just as Eraye sat in her thatched structured shed but this time alone with no customers as you could logically understand that customers wont drink tea when its sunny,
This gentle man pulled over right in front of Eraye shed with the intent to buy roasted corn from the woman who sold right next to Eraye's shed. Eraye and the said woman were not in talking terms and so they would never cross each others boundaries but the situation had presented itself as this gentle man was approached by Eraye.
''Can you move your car ? Eraye's voice sounding upset came through to the young man who was still trying to pack his car properly. Eraye got furious as it clearly seemed the young man wasn't paying any attention to what she said.
''Am sure you are not deaf, move your car away or i will mess with your tires, i can assure you of that one o!''.
The gentle man rolled down his window to see Eraye's face as she furiously lashed on him. He wont respond as he gets down from his Car and walks up to Eraye, He was a clean, well presented, tall Man with a smiley face. He's appearance screams of elegance and class. He leans close to her ears as he whispers to her, ''I will only be here for seconds, am sure it won't kill you to let my car be where it is''.
Eraye is silenced by his charms, she nods her head in response with a reaction that seemed like she lost her tongue.

''When Love goes Sour''
Keeping myself (celibacy) was a good deal and it seems i may fall back on that wagon, She thought to herself.
Just trying to leave life like its peaceful and kind to me wasn't an easy task, but i some how managed to get by the daily challenges i would face.
I felt empty sometimes and other times i would write, sing or drink. These were my personal battles i didn't have to tell anyone how i felt or how i managed. My worse fear in life had always been having emotional hiccups or break-ups, not for the fear of being alone but for knowing that i would have to give myself to yet another Man sometime down the line. I dreaded break-ups and so this gave my Men a reason to think i was insecure, unknown to them that if i could have it my way i would never consider marriage.
My heart became an empty tank which needed to be filled, i had been a super religious Woman in the past and backslided when i met Timi years ago.
Don't get it twisted, Timi wasn't to blame for my falling off Spirituality. Gradually i found my self giving the love i never expected i would dare to give a Man.
He made me feel good, i couldn't help how my body responded to his presence.
Just one Friday morning, Timi called me on phone to tell me he had wanted to tell me something but didn't know the best way or time to tell me.
''IT, you are a sweet, kind and selfless Woman i must confess, but i just got married to my long time girl friend yesterday''. Timi concluded. I didn't see any need to listen to what more he had to say, just when my phone fell off my hand.
I was crushed, sad and angry with every Man i saw. Laughter became very expensive, colours faded, food lost it taste and life almost seemed meaningless.
But the good thing about breakups with me is that i suddenly get the urge to achieve more and more in life except smiles on my face and at that peak i go to any length to achieve.
What a fool i became. I thought i learnt some lessons there, only to find myself in the cubicle afresh.
Fear and uncertainty has become a life style in a relationship of barely 4(four months).
Who can relate?
