I first met Dora when she was taking care of her husband. He had been admitted for a serious illness, and she hardly left his bedside. Every day she looked exhausted, yet she carried herself with a quiet strength that caught my attention. She was beautiful, but it wasn’t just her face that drew me…
I met a man in a trotro and collected his number from him. We had a great conversation in the bus, and we happened to alight at the same drop off. I was heading somewhere so I needed to rush, and this man was about to let me go. But I didn’t want to just…
I stopped talking about marriage with my girlfriend in January 2026. Every time I brought it up, she brushed it off like it was nothing, like it didn’t matter. We had been dating for close to a year by then, and I wanted her to know my stance. I wasn’t just here to pass time….
