| The Lovely Ngiwe |
What is love? Is it a breakfast which costs over a
million rands on a menu of a five star hotel? Is it a rare, elusive species
found in the deepest parts of the Brazilian jungle? Is it a special day we
celebrate every year on the 14th of February? Or is it just a human
emotion that is rarely activated in a society that has forgotten their
activation passwords? If it is a breakfast, then I cannot afford it. If it is
an elusive animal, than I will never see it. If it is a reserved special day,
then I will prepare a special lunch. Or if it requires a password, than it will
require that I learn the dirty skill off hacking.
The dictionary suggests that love is an “emotion of
strong attraction and personal emotion”. Society has lost the password to
unlocking this emotion. Very few people are capable of finding the password to
unlocking this emotion. I recently became that minority of people that found
their password. I’m a very secretive person however I will share my experience
which lead to the discovery of my password.
It all came down to finding the perfect partner. All I
had to do was ask her name. She replied “I’m Hlengiwe Magagula” and all off a
sudden my heart sent a message to my brain which read “Access Granted”. All it
took was the mentioning of those two names and suddenly this entirely new
feeling exploded inside of me. The feeling felt like I had joined Alice in
wonderland. When I lay my eyes on her for the first time I felt like I had
actually found that elusive rare species because I had never seen such beauty
in my entire existence. Her beautiful dark brown eyes, Hollywood shaped lips,
perfectly tanned skin tone, Goddess like figure, natural long hair, with a
voice that can stop a volcanic eruption. Could this really be a new discovery?
If it is than I have the pleasure of being the discoverer. The dictionary defines
this as a strong attraction, and “good Lord” I am strongly attracted to
Hlengiwe.
Apart from her angelic beauty there is so much more than
meets the eye. Equipped with a tertiary qualification, Hlengiwe is a woman full
of intelligence. That intelligence allows her to have a strong personality that
includes humour, conversation value, and kindness. My favourite thing about her
is her strong humour. She is capable of constructing a joke from the smallest
of detail in our everyday life. She even boosts my confidence with her
capability of laughing at my dumbest of jokes. When I’m in her presence I
easily lose track off time because of the chemistry our personalities create.
The dictionary defines this as personal emotion which sounds like a formula we
created in a lab to keep this fire burning.
I don’t know if this feeling is temporary or if it will
last forever. However I plan to enjoy every moment I have with it, and I am
willing to fight for it like a little boy fights for his Captain America action
figure on the playground. All I know is I love her. I Love Hlengiwe Magagula.
