Valentines day has always been a normal day for me untill about six to five years ago when I met my ex, infact he has been the only one that has gifted me memorable gifts although we’re not togethe anymore, I call it sweet sour experience because he always does something to make me angry or sad before that day and on the day of valentine he tends to make happy by gifting something expensive, just so that I forget about being angry at him.
I’m only sharing this not because it has being my best valentines but it has only being the ones that I have experienced as far as i can remember, the first one was in the year 2019, I was still a university student..so I remember leaving school to go visit him that week, the relationship I had with him was so much of a bumpy ride, we were always quarreling about one thing or the other, he is a very jealous and me on the other hand, I don’t live my life in such manner because I tend to carry everyone along whether male or females and Infact most of my closest friends were male, so we were always arguing.
On that fateful valentines day, we were together in the room, doing what we knew how to do best which was arguing, I was so pained because I just wanted it to atleast be a good day without anything spoiling day, the argument was so severe that I foolishly broke my sim card just so he could be happy, Maybe he was satisfied after that, I didn’t even know but I tell you regretted my action, so while I was coming from a school to his house, I bought him very a nice perfume, as that time i bought that perfume for 8,000 naira, and currently now that perfume is more than 20k, I gave it to him and he really liked it, atleast I could see the joy on his face when I gave it to him. So it was time for me to also receive my gift and he told me to close my eyes and sit at his front backing him, then he brought out something from a container and wore it around my neck, I opened my eyes to see what it was exactly and lo behold it was a very cute expensive gold necklace, I never ever thought having a gold necklace at all.
I was so happy, I really loved it and to be honest instantly I forgot that I was even angry at him, I really loved it alot. And for the next year which was year 2020, this time it got to the point that I told myself that I wasn’t going to celebrate valentine talkmore of even buying him a valentines gift, but still he bought me chocolates, ice cream and a very expensive perfume, I remember using that perfume for more than a year, anytime i wore that perfume the compliments I receive is out of this world.
