My first love disappeared like fart. The story of a young lad
(Edited)
This was a very long time ago. In the city of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, there lived a young boy. He was a cool and lovely lad. Very serious about his studies and he never has time for other things except for soccer which takes up some of his time. Growing up for him was pleasant. He had many female friends around courtesy of his younger sister. As much as the young girls wanted a cordial friendship with him, he shrugged at their reactions and take the relationship casual because he had no feelings and intention to have anything beyond friendship with any of them
When he was in junior secondary 3, he saw a truck offloading furniture, electronics, and other household equipment close to their house. Oh! we have a new neighbor, he said. It was a two-story building. The family of late Hon Lawal, a former house of representative member occupied the flat
His sister loves making friends. Almost all the young girls in the neighborhood come to their house to see his sister. As a lovely and jovial young lad, he attends to them and sometimes makes them laugh. Most of them were used to him because of his humorous attitude, and they love staying around him whenever he's available
One day, he saw a new face in their sitting room. Good afternoon, the young girl greeted. Hey, good afternoon, he returned the greetings. The girl sat quietly on the couch watching "speak out" (a Nigerian tv program, where students encourage others to speak out for the world to hear their voice). It was a call for free speech
His sister joined them in the sitting room after a few seconds and introduced the girl to her brother. Sherifat, meet my elder brother. She greeted him the second time. She's the last child of our new neighbor. Her dad served under General Sani Abacha (the former president) that looted our money
My dad was not part of them o, she jumped in. The room was filled with laughter. Nice to meet you sherifat. They became friends in no time. Sherifat joined the crew of other friends and things went the normal way as it has been from scratch
Just as the magnet draws iron, their heart began to attract one another. It doesn't work as opposite poles because their heart doesn't repel. Like poles attract (north, north)
They both like being together. The love between them started developing at a very fast rate, but they had one problem. No one could come out plain to say I love you. They were friends for 3 years and it was just a normal friendship. No string attached
Let's cut the story short
The young lad could not hide the love anymore and decided to come out plain. He waited for Sherifat to come to their house but for three days, there was no sign of her. What's happening? He asked his younger sister but she could not provide an answer to the question, so he decided to write a letter since there was no phone to communicate. Read a few lines from the letter
After wrapping up, he put it in an envelope, and waited to see her come to their house or pass in the street. Two days had gone, and no view of sherifat. It was John, his friend that made him understand what was happening
They are owing the landlord and they couldn't pay, so they packed out secretly
The young lad was devastated. He stare at their house every morning hoping she would come out one day but all was just a dream that never come through. They never met again
But after 7 years, they bumped on one another. Now fully matured, they talked at length. The feeling was reignited, but nothing else happened because they've both moved on, and none was ready to break another person's heart
This is my story. I'm the young lad, and sherifat was my first love.

Thanks @bruno-kema. We would have given it a try but we were both into a relationship and no one was ready to let go, so we both moved on.
