His Love for Her Makes Him Resign His Appointment
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
He used to dream a lot
Such that people started calling
Him “Master Dreamer”. He
Repeatedly dreamt about a damsel
When young and he remembered
That in one of his dreams
He was playing with the same
Girl and while playing with
Her somebody calls her name
In that dream, he started
Calling her that name wherever
They go to in that dream
Before he wakes up. When
He would dream about interacting
With the girl again he
Discovers that they got
Married in that dream. After
This he never dreamt
Of the girl again until
He enters institution. But he
Did not forget the girl’s
Name and the wedding that
Was done. About twelve years
Have passed since he dreamt
About twelve years have passed
Since he dreamt about this.
One day as he was walking
In the campus premises heading
For the lecture hall, he
Saw the girl he used
To dreamt about walking towards
Him. The same as she
Was in the dream he has
To use his hand to rub
His face to be sure that
He was not sleeping and
He discovers that what he
Was seeing was live. They
Exchange pleasantries as they walked
Past themselves. As from this
Moment a day cannot pass
That he will not see the
Lady on campus. One day
One of her friends called
Her name and it was
The name he heard somebody
Call her in the dream. This
Is more than a co-incidence
He reasoned, and he started
Making friend with her from
Where the friendship becomes serious
And they start dating. This
Continued until they graduated
But after graduation the lady
Met with another guy and
She calls it quit with him.
He tried his best to
Tell her that they were
Destined to be together, but
The lady would not yield
He did not know that
Could happen, for all his
Dreams used to come to
Pass, but this has been
Truncated. Because of the pains
In his heart he does not
Wish to be romantically involved
With any maiden again for
He was yet thinking the
Lady would come back to
Him. She belongs to me, he
Used to say but the lady
Never returns in his office
There is a lady who attracts
Him, but they did not
Go deeper in their relationship
But when the lady he was
Thinking would return to him
Gets married that was when
He took this lady out.
And since then their love
Has been growing. This lady
Was stable lovely and everything
He has been seeking for in a
Damsel he finds in her
What he considers a loss was
Not for it is become a blessing
In disguise as the law
Of the establishment they work
For stipulates that to people
Romantically involved are not
Allowed in the company before
Their love blows out and
Both of them be retrenched,
He resigned his appointment with
The firm. The management does
Not wish to approve his
Resignation because he is very
Useful for the company. They
Told him that they will increase
His salary and other emolument
But he declined the offer
His spouse, being junior staff
In the company asks him
To let her resign so that they
Will continue to enjoy the
Increase in his pay grade,
But he would not listen
Asking her to continue to work
At the company. When the
Management sees that he has made
Up his mind, they let him go
A befitting send forth was
Held for him for his services
To the company. After he
Left the company he stated
His own business outlet and
Gets married to her. Then the
Management knows why he resigned
From the company. That it
It was because of the lady
They were marveled at what he
Did and wished them well in
Their marital journey.
