10 In his head

Karl couldn't believe his eyes. The image he has had in his head for so long was right before him without knowing. If he had not turned to introduce her to Kevin, he wouldn't have known. Karl was stunned . His eyes went wide open.He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was dumbfounded at the sight before him that his mouth couldn't form any word. At first he thought he must have thought about her for so long that he stopped seeing clearly.

He wanted to say many things at the same time but couldn't say anything. To the rest of the people standing by him, Karl was acting like he has seen a ghost. Karl looked at Kevin as if he wanted to say something but did not. He only gave him a suggestive eyes and he understood . "No way!" Kevin exclaimed! He understood what Karl meant even without saying a word. How couldn't he know when this was what Karl has been singing on his ears ever since his encounter with his estranged lover. Each time Karl called him, he would spend half of the time talking about her Yes, Karl said nodding his head before facing Irene and her friend. "Do you both knew each other?" Irene could only ask. Irene's friend was also in shock.

"Osima," Karl finally called reaching out his hands to take hers. "I have been looking forward to seeing you again," he continued. One could tell that Karl was in a good mood like meeting an old friend but not just an old friend but the woman he had seen in his dreams everyday.

"Oh really?" Irene's friend muttered. She wondered what was going on. After all she was sure that she had never meet this guy before. Giving how handsome he was, it was not possible. More so, this guy shook hands with her before and did not treat her like a person. So what was going on? 'she asked herself.

Karl was a bit disappointed by Irene's friend reaction. He had expected her to be also excited to see him but could it be she never remembered him after their meeting? Karl thought within himself. But he wasn't going to give up yet for what he had waited for so long . "I have always hoped we run into each other again after our first encounter but little did I know it was going to be at my party. What is even more funny is you have been here but I never took notic," Karl said as if he was trying to catch up after their first encounter. He was happy that Irene had stayed so long, otherwise he would have missed out of the golden opportunity heaven granted him. Irene's friend only stood there acting like someone who has gone dumb.

"You know I had planned to collect your number that day, before I got to my bus station but I received a disturbing message that kind of distracted my attention. I was already halfway to the house before I realized but then, you were already gone," Karl explained. Karl was not sure of what to say about her reaction which made him wonder if he had mistaken Osima for somebody else or perhaps she has forgotten all about him. Looking at her even more closely, Karl had some doubts about it.

Especially since she was acting so dumb which kind of broke his heart. He had said so much but she still could not remember him.

Karl had been looking forward to this day but now that he saw her, he couldn't tell if he had not exaggerated how he had felt. But one thing he was sure of was he was happy. Fate has brought them back together and this time, he made up his mind to make the most of their time. He wanted to see her again. Infact he knew in his heart that he had fallen for her. Ever since his last break up, Osima had been the only girl who successfully penetrated into his heart.Karl was never lucky with relationships.It was not as if he found it difficult to find one but they never ended well. His last relationship ended because he found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him so since then he has decided not to commit himself to any girl. He only went for a one night stand or any girl who wants to play around but everything changed after his encounter with Osima. He has tried going back to his previous lifestyle with girls but he discovered he was no longer enjoying it.

There was something about her that he could not explain. He could remember every of their conversation that day. Infact to Karl, it was not like sharing a conversation with a stranger. It felt like he had known her all his life. Although he had told himself that all girls were the same after his last relationship ended but he saw Osima differently.

As Karl spoke, the rest of the audience just watch. One could easily tell he was very excited from how he expressed every sentence. Irene's friend was taken by surprise but she did enjoy watching how Karl was exited about meeting her again. She knew she had shared a bus with so many guys but the one that was before her right now was quite special. She had been watching him closely and wished he had taken notice of her and now that he has, it literally made her feel special.

"How could I forget meeting someone so handsome?" she complained in her heart. Today was her day of luck. She bless the heaven for shining on her. She has always dreamed of meeting a wealthy and handsome guy someday. It appears her dream was finally becoming a reality. Irene's friends heart bubbles with joy. She can't wait to tell her friends all about her day. She felt very pleased not to have missed the party.
