Chapter 229 A goal Getter

   I walked of the bathroom for the first in my life dripping wet,I wanted to know what will happen if I don't dry my body. We make rules and it's left for us to break rules if we want. It has gotten to a point I don't leave water on my skin for the fear of catching cold. And it's bad because it's not every time you get to protect myself from water,I might go out and unfortunate,rain might fall and it means I get to have water on my body and that is straight way to cold. Our body system get accustomed to what we introduce to it.

   I have to let the water into my skin and if I don't catch cold tomorrow then I would not have it as must to dry clean my body after bathing. It was too early to dress in pyjamas,it's was barely 18:00,so I chose a black leggings and a gray tank top and I put them on then walked to the bed and lay down. Sleeping was next thing and it did not take my eye lid few seconds to close itself. I drafted off to sleep hoping to walk up before the night meets dusk.

   I woke to a sound  coming from my phone to see that it was already morning,it was 6:00 am. I can not imagine that I slept that long, twelve hours to be precise. I was stressed out yesterday,yes but that should not warrant me sleeping for that long. I have not slept this long in a long time,I do sleep for longer hour but sleeping for twelve hours was a history I made today.

   I did not even know how to start this morning, confusion was written all over my face and whoever that sees my state at the moment will give me an award for the most confused person of the day. But one thing was for sure,I have a feeling and it has to be a good thing because when I think about it,I feel excited but what then am I thinking about,I don't know.

Ben's point of view.......

     I was sitting on my bed thinking how far my life has been,it has gone from good to great. I am among the few guys who had luxurious life while growing up. Being the only son of my parents,I have been loved and whatever I have asked for,has been given to me. I was born as a rich kid and I did not know what it feels like to want something and not get it but I was never spoilt. I had the best Mom in the world, she is my everything and I can't trade her for anything. Dad is my best buddy,we are like brothers and those who did not know us will think that we are actually brothers without knowing that we are father and son.

    I can tell Dad anything and he will advise me on what to do. Dad does not impose on me what to do, he will just advise and ask me to do what I feel like. His watch code was *always follow your instincts, Benjamin* and my instincts has not failed me for one day.

    I had a crush back then in high school and I did not know how to go about it,I told dad and I will never forget what he told me that particular night. He said,

    "Benjamin son,in life we go for what we want,we don't let what we want come to us because it will never come to us if we do not desire and by desiring,we work for it. Having dream is good but achieving it is better. You want something,set out to get it and always let your heart be your guidelines. If you want to date her,let her know and she likes you then you are good to go but if she does not like you,don't force it because there are people are there who would die the world to be with you.

    So dear son,be a goal getter"

And for as long as I could remember,I have always have that advice in mind. I know I am blessed in all round but sometimes,we don't get all that we want even if we strive to have it,if it's not ours then it's not ours that's why I can't pursue Nora anymore,she is definitely not mine.

  I am turning thirty in few hours and I want to have the best of today, maybe after today I will have to face the world. I can't be a kid forever and turning thirty means responsibilities and responsibilities means getting married and settling down.

"God bless my new age"

I said and stood up to start the day,looking forward to having wonderful time with friends and family.
