Hello, hello, hello, may I speak to Ntonwi please… This is
Ntiante and you may or may not know me but I was sorting through my woman’s
clothes yesterday for laundry and I saw your name and number on the beautiful
love note from you to her… You know
every time people ask me why I grow these sinewy muscles, big broad chest and strong
hands; every time they ask me why I stretch my brain and nourish it and grow
its power and mental muscles; every time they ask me why I grow my spiritual clout
and muscles; every time they ask me why I grow a muscular bank account… I
usually greet these questions with penetrating profound silence, but now let me
break that silence and give you the answer – it is for people like you. I am
sure that by now you know where I am coming from… You should also be guessing
by now and rightly so that I am not going to throw my woman to your trash can… I
love this woman to the point that I will leverage my muscles, all my muscles to
fight for her, to protect her, to secure her and her heart… one thing you may
not know is the price I have paid to accompany her to this place in life… some
day if you force me I will show you the scars of the battles I have fought
along the way… someday if you push me to I will show you the stars which showed
us the way through the nights of countless storms… next time you see me take a good look at my calloused knees from countless hours of prayer through treacherous routes... some day if you invite me, I
will teach you how to protect a woman like this but you may not have a voice to
tell the tale later because I will take it… and after I do if you do not leave
her alone you will be like the countless worms that eat from the dust of the
earth… It really doesn’t matter what you think or feel… I just wanted to remind
you that the woman you see in your dreams belongs to me… I will fight for
everything she is from the soles of her feet to the hairs on her head… I will
fight for her heart… I am having this discussion only once… So man to man… man
to man… I just wanted to be sure you understand how much I love this woman and
what lengths I am ready to go to keep her… maybe if you step into my shoes… you
will know how I feel… and maybe you will understand that in my shoes you will
do the same … So man to man… I hope you understand that I don’t want your
trouble and that I will not let any man or anybody break up my home and its
peace… Go figure how to leave her alone. Now let me go take a coffee and find my voice!
