ACCEPT OR REJECT

Even as I start writing this, I'm still actually thinking if I should really share it because it's quite too personal but then I'm still going to be stubborn and just share it anyways, hehe. I'm someone that hate feeling or knowing that I have something to hide so if I don't participate in this week's Thinkers Corner prompt, then it would seem to me like I'm hiding something intentionally and I don't really fancy that. So without further ado, follow me on this so personal journey, hehe.

Well, I think it was about two years ago, I met this guy, he was not not handsome, he was just okay! At first I got drawn to him because of how reserved he was, I'm not a fan of that, I like carrying everyone around me along but he was just that type that was not ready to mingle. At first I just wanted to be friends with him so I can get him to be a bit free around people because back then, he always came around to the shop to buy something from us.

There was this particular day, he came to buy something he always likes buying and that was a sweet called Tom Tom. That day I asked him why he always liked Tom Tom so much and he said he just liked it. Well, I told him that I didn't like Tom Tom that much tho tho. The next day when he came around, this time he bought something else and I asked him why he didn't get Tom Tom that day and he said he just wasn't going to get it.

Well, to cut the long story short, after some time, we became friends as I wanted but after some more weeks, he started asking me out. At this point I was worried and I didn't really like the fact that he was but then I knew it wasn't his wish, you know, it's a thing of the heart and most times you just can't fight it, hehe. He continued asking me out for over four months consistently and I kept refusing him and trust me when I say that was one of my hardest moments because the young man was so damn consistent.

Well, after thinking so much about it, I decided to give him a chance which in a long run, I had to call quits because it was becoming something else. He always treated me with respect but then we both had different reasons for dating and that was a really big problem. Well, that was not even the main problem, the real problem was that he was a liar and the worst part is even when he's caught red handed, he still denies it.

When I noticed this behavior, I started acting in says to make him get tired of me because I had no concrete evidence he was a liar so it just didn't work for me. I'm not so good at remembering faults, I only know when I'm hurt and when I hurt someone but it's hard to remember how I was hurt so it's easier to forget. Well, I guess that's why this is called the thinkers corner and I just have to think of what happened. Surprisingly, this wasn't so hard because it's something I despise so much.

There was this particular day, he travelled to see his father and came back a bit late and at that time we've closed from the shop. I called him to ask where he was and he told me him was already on a bus coming back from his father's place and just while we were still on the call, I somehow saw a motorcycle dropping someone off from a distance. When I looked closely, he was the one and then I asked him again where he was and he repeated the same thing he said before.

At this point I was wondering why he could be lying, I even made effort to just make him spill the truth but instead he kept insisting I was accusing him wrongly and normally at that point I should have apologized but no I didn't because I knew I was the right one there and besides I didn't even care if that was going to affect our relationship because it was totally on him. In fact, I was happy he was insisting on being the right one because that only showed me the type of person he was.

At that point, I was so sure that I'd never apologize to a liar because I hate it with all that is in me. Like why would you lie? Especially in such a situation, it's a total turn off for me and I'm not apologizing to nobody for that.

I know I was supposed to give a scenario that has never happened before but I thought it was better giving a practice scenario instead since I already had one. Thanks to what happened, I was able to know that I hate lies so much and it's one thing that I hope not to do to anyone.

That's it for my response to the Thinkers Corner prompt initiated by @kenechukwu97, I really do hope you enjoyed reading through.
