Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to b befit teale stories. Then we get comfortable
and enjoyed the journey. Last episode, we would remember Rezie
minding her business, thinking that this time around there will
(00:31):
be no distraction as to anything related to the heart business.
She had already accumulated enough fair stories and had not
given up on love, but simply was enjoying the breeze,
the break that was offered to her as she was
starting college in an environment where she knew nobody, but
(00:53):
her balloon would be popped as God had other plans
for My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your
ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are
(01:14):
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than
the earth. So are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah, chapter fifty five,
verses eight to nine. Joe had managed, through his perseverance
(01:38):
and persistence to obtain Reason's phone number. Now he didn't
have to wait for days to be able to speak
to her or hear her silky voice, and it was
also easier for him to try working his way faster
to her heart. Now. Joe loved red outspokenness, humor, childlike
(02:03):
ways how she didn't take herself too seriously, her kindness,
her innocence, and of course a smile psych Let's be honest,
the first time he saw her and found liking in her,
she was not smiling. Let's just remember that. And didn't
(02:25):
he know anything about her being whatsoever, kind, funny, or
any of those things. What I'm saying is that Joe
liked what he saw her physick of course, or you
could even say her appearance, whatever flows your vote. So
(02:45):
Joe and Rizzie became good friends, and Rizzie was just
so happy to be in an uncomplicated relationship. It had
been so hard for her to find guys who could
just appreciate her for who she was without trying to
be with her. It was simply refreshing. They started spending
(03:05):
some of their breaks together. They would talk on the
phone occasionally, you know, nothing out of the ordinary. Reasy
made sure to limit phone calls, conversations not past ten pm,
and not being her too smiley self, just not to
send wrong messages. But at the same time, can a
girl just be herself? Gosh. As their friendship progressed and
(03:30):
the semester as well, Joe started feeling the need to
get the relationship to progress as well as he knew
that once this class that they shared together would end,
so would the relationship most probably, or maybe it wouldn't end,
but possibly if paid for They were not active outside
of school or phone calls. That being said, the phone
(03:54):
calls and conversations started being insistent and Joe more flirtatious.
He recall mostly in the evening, asking her personal questions.
It was obvious that he wanted more. Raasy, uncomfortable, would
try her best not to dismiss her friend in a
brutal way nor hurt his feelings, but at the same time,
(04:16):
she felt pressured and once again found herself in this
uncomfortable position that no one wants to be, which is
having to deny someone's height. Why, oh why? One night,
Joe calls. He was about eight thirty pm. His voice
(04:37):
sounded more focused, yet nervous. He was serious, though he
was trying to be cool and same as his usual.
At some point throughout the conversation, Reasy, unable to pretend
not feeling this big discomfort and awkwardness, took the bull
by its horns and asked, Joe, is everything all right?
(04:58):
He quickly proceeded by saying, yeah, yeah, of course, why
you ask, Reezi answered, because you're acting different. It seems
like something is weighing on your mind or something. Joe
took a very long pause before he was able to
form these words, I like you easy. Yeah, yeah, I
(05:24):
like you a lot, and I'd like for us to
be more than just friends. I've been meaning to tell
you this for a while. Now. There, that's what has
been weighing on my mind. Yeah, it was Reasy's turn
to remain silent for a long time. What has she
(05:45):
done wrong, she wondered to herself. I thought we would
be good friends and that's it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Joe,
she startled. I am I'm I appreciate your feelings towards
(06:16):
me sincerely, but but I was hoping that we could
just be friends. You know. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I promise, I like I promise. I like you a
lot and I appreciate you, but just like a friend,
(06:41):
you know. Another unbearable long silence occurred between our two friends,
well friends that list for now, before Joe obviously had
broken found the strength to say out, it's it's okay,
it's okay. I respect you and your decision, and I'm
(07:08):
not mad. I'm not mad at you at all, but
I know that I cannot be your friend. He continued
by saying, I admire I admire your delicate and respectful
attention not to hurt me and my feelings in the process,
though it was inevitable. It just makes me like you
(07:32):
sadly even more. But I heard you and I will
respect the way you feel. Now. If this is not
the most heartbreaking thing you've ever heard, I don't know you.
My friend must have gone through some hard hardship. Busy
(07:56):
felt terrible. This guy seems so perfect. What was wrong
with her? How could she not be able to reciprocate
their feelings? Isn't it what we're all looking for, a
true gentleman willing to let you go despite their feelings
for you to ensure your happiness. I have nothing more
(08:20):
to add. I rest my case. As Joe was sniffing quietly,
Reasy said timidly, Joe, are you crying? He uncomfortably laughed
and said, here funny and stay quiet. Reasy followed by
(08:42):
apologizing with all of her heart, Joe, please forgive me
for lacking the strength to return you the favor of
lacking you the same you do me. I I am deeply,
deeply decided to have to lose your friendship, but I
can respect and understand you wish now to pursue a relationship.
(09:09):
From the bottom of my heart, Please forgive me. Joe,
sounding stronger, reassured Razzie that he will be okay. They
spoke for some time, more joked, and even laughed before
saying good night. Now you must be wondering was the
(09:30):
semester done when this happened. Nope, But for some reason,
it made the relationship such friendship healthier till the end
of class, as there was no ambiguity between both of
them anymore, and they both had gained tremendous respect for
one another, but that was not enough to sustain the
(09:54):
relationship after the semester was done. I am my lovely souls.
(10:17):
Hope I find you well and that you've enjoyed this
episode of a Beef Steale Stories Young School Love Part two.
If you found some value out of today's episode, I
believe that you'd also like the previous and next episode,
So stay tuned, my people. How unfair some may think
(10:39):
right about this inconclusive healthy and respectful relationship. What is
wrong with Riezy right? How could she not give him
a chance? Maybe he could have worked. There is an
African proverb who goes like this, To love someone who
does not love you is like shaking a tree to
(11:00):
make the dew drops fall. Let us remember that love
is free and comes with no strings attached, therefore cannot
be forced. On this note, I wish you to love wholeheartedly,
just like the rain does not choose the grass on
which it falls, and wish you also a peace for life.
(11:26):
Stay blessed, my friends,
