The Bitter Sweet

The birth of Poshdii

Chapter 1

First piece

There was no need for labor pains, for I already knew the face of pain. Poshdii was born, in the face of pain. She tried to cry like every new born would when they meet the earth for the first time but bitterness flowed on her deserted eyes, leaving traces of anger and hate. That is me, see i laid eyes on life for the first time as Poshdii and this time I found life to have lost its personality. For once, life was good, life was a blessing. But this time my eyes saw life to be an ever steeping hill and a continuously burning fire. I escaped reality. I made me after being fearfully and wonderfully made. I named me after being named Precious.

The birth of Poshdii Hilson is and it began immediately when I made a fake Identity Document. I made it, I cheated the law to make me! “Hi, my name is Cassie!” said a young girl seated next to me in a bus on my way to Roselood where the Poshdii made was accepted to be a medical student. You know... in life, when we meet people, either we greet them or not, a relationship is created with them. I looked at Cassie and smiled even when it was obviously fake then offered my hand for a hand shake and said “nice to meet you, my name is Prec… I mean Poshdii” then I looked away trying to avoid a conversation.

Then I tried to steal her with my eyes but found her face shining with smiles, then the corners of my mouth dropped when I was reminded of the happiness I was robbed. For the sky thing came in like a thief, stole from me the only thing I called family. I looked out the window and silently talked to him who is always to be. “Tomorrow, I worry about you. I tried reading my history books to know you. Now tell me… should I pack my bags to leave you or carry myself to meet you? Tomorrow… are you so bright or shall I prepare a candle for you. Are you so kind of shall I save up my smiles for you. I have cried about all my tears now, for I am trying to dry up my eyes for you. Tomorrow please be kind!”

Then thoughts put me to sleep until Cassie ruined it by calling me “Posh! Poshdii!” she said while shaking me, I turned my face, visibly annoyed then her calm face continued “sorry to wake you up but I thought you might need something to eat. The bus stops here for a break” said her. Then I allowed Poshdii to be no different to Precious, I looked at her then looked away without a say. She left the bus and came back with a drink which she offered me. Then I was surprised to have met someone of patience and kindness. She was a happy soul. Maybe because she haven’t met the sky thing, that’s where we change for the worst. I was once a happy soul too!

The Bitter Sweet

Taking a risk in love Chapter 2 Forth piece Another dawn, the varsity escort finally arrived, my bags backed up and I was ready to go. I was the last foot to step on the full bus and the only chair left was the one next to the guy I met yesterday at the men's room I confused to be the ladies'  “Sorry about yesterday " I greeted him with an apology. His blue eyes stared for seconds then finally his face granted me a smile with his gestures offering me a seat. "It is okay, we all make mistakes and you are not an exception!" He said.  His smile was more than a facial expression, it was bright enough to let my bitter heart ease. His blue eyes became a window to his soul and i saw inside, a part of me. Suddenly I felt something weird, I ran out of air, my body froze and the only sound I could hear was my sprinting heartbeat, the only picture I saw was my self alone in the bus. Split a second it stopped leaving me in amazement. "Are you okay?" The g...

The birth of poshdii Chapter 1 continue... Third piece For a moment there, i thought life was friendlier to Poshdii than Precious because for as long as I called myself Poshdii I was able to truly love again. Christopher was my first boyfriend but i couldnt help but picture his as my true love. Little did i know that true love is a theory of some old notion, they said it was not supposed to leave I felt mine in motion. So I needed to take caution and learn that life is a lesson so I had to take notes. A dinner date we had. Flowers on the table but butterflies in my stomach. All was well until he tasted like spoiled milk. He spoke while i became bitter but I sweetly smiled as he continued to speak. He said... "I am so sorry Poshdii but it is over, I can not date you if I can not even touch you." I was confused because I strongly believe  that love is not something we can run out of, so when he said those words "its over" I realized that it was not there from th...

T he birth of Poshdii Chapter 1 continue... Second piece I finally arrived at Roselood. Then I met Nicole who was going to be my roommate. We started on a clean slate. She portrayed the vision of a self i so long longed to be. I pretended like im not known to pain, like I haven’t met the sky thing. Life become sweets and candy! Later on that day, a gentle voice called beside me “Excuse me” said that stranger. I looked up and my heart was stolen "There is a problem with my phone, would you like to help?” politely asked the stranger “Yes!” I answered. Then he said “it doesn’t have your numbers” I smiled for my mind was blown away, and there I was… Not thinking. I giggled for a second. Now I'm too ashamed to admit, but the guy easily took my numbers. It was like, my heart finally gave in... The night began with a lovely girly chart with Nicole. I was more than alive, I was a child again. After hearing her love stories I op...
