WEEKEND ROMANCE: …WHEN CHASER BECOMES THE CHASED I know it will be a case of psychology. And that’s the quickest response to get. I agree but I still believe there could be more to it – perhaps medically (the gene things), abstractly, and even spiritually – if researched more. “Bros, you remember that very fine girl I was chasing endlessly then that refused me even after I employed all tactics to woo her? She’s coming after me now that she’s seen I have settled with someone else who agreed to fall for me. Why are women like that? Most of them would become interested in you when they see you’re now going out with a lady. But that time when you were still casting your net into their rivers; when you were still cold, alone and lonely, they will be running away from you and frustrating you”. Ichoku told his friend, Ikwurigba while they sipped wine at a bar. “My sister, wonders shall never end! Do you remember Nnanna those days at Unizik that I loved with all my heart but took me for granted and a fool when I tried dating him; feeling like I was the one chasing him around? He’s just on my neck these days, begging that I should give him a second chance. Can you imagine? Now that I’m married? Honestly, I don’t understand men. When most of them woo you and you agree within a reasonably short time, just because you admire them, they will take you to be cheap. And they will go ahead to take you for granted or for a fool when you have given them your heart. This one coming after me now; is it that I am suddenly pretty in his eyes or that he just wants to spoil my marriage? Why not some other new babe?” Meriamaka lamented to her colleague, Mgbeke while at work in their office. You would not disagree that these are what we see and experience daily in our society of men and women and of relationships. In these days of mobile phones, I’ve had to see numerous male friends of mine who received more calls from the ladies they unsuccessfully tried toasting just as soon as they’ve succeeded in wooing some other ladies who consented. What baffles me is that some of these ladies that refused those guys would never know they (the guys) have settled with some other ladies even before calling them. And some of those calls would come from a far distance, showing that the ladies couldn’t have known that the guys have settled with other women apart from them. In such cases, I have a strong feeling to term it “metaphysical”. Dont know about you. On both sides of the gender, I would like to ask on this issue: How come those ladies would never call the guy that chased them (and they refused him) until when he is with another woman? How come those guys will begin to beg a lady that loved them devotedly (and they took her for granted) when she’s no longer available and especially when she’s just entered into a marriage? Is it a question of co-incidence? A question of telepathy? A question of something in the blood or genes? A question of what? Or are you settling to calling it a “mystery” rather too quickly as religious Nigerian? Lolz. *Sneaks via Azụ Ụnọ*
