Valentine's Day is around the corner. The aspirations, desires to show love, affection and attention is lingering on lovers' minds.
Among university students, its a madness that; the Higher Education Loans Board loan will be misused.
Boys, oh, forgive me, gentlemen as they prefer to be called, will not spare a coin to impress the ladies by offering them treatment they can't sustain twice.
Stilettos, red dresses, red wine and kingly dinners are given. Flowers and false love recitals are an indispensable malady!
Broke relationships! Ladies will be desperate for a treat. They are more than willing to sacrifice their long-term boyfriends for one night wonders and philanderer as long as they are guaranteed of Valentine goodies and fallacies.
Broke honest lovers are victimised only to be approached later for apologies!
Chemists blooms! The operators know it. It's their season. Pills and condoms stocks run out regardless of the hiked costs and large piles. Maidens and cheats are lured to tamper with their innocence in the name of love!
As normalcy resumes, so does hypocrisy. The acting into 'holier than thou' takes the day after the showers and reconciliation. The fantasy fades away till next year.
Mourns and life regrets. For the 'stupid' beginners who have been fooled or forgot to use protection and precautions, children, diseases and regrets becomes the best reminder of Valentine's Day!
