Miss Maggi (Part 7)

 

I continued my hide and seek with Miss Maggi. I know from her blog posts that she cares about me, but she is scared of love. I know people like that. They are scared of people showing them love because of their past experience or their knowledge of the testimonies of these dark days. That’s why I discourage believers from listening to these radio programs of bad stories of things going on in the world; it fuels fear and cripples faith. Miss Maggi’s situation is as a result of her past. As bloody as it was, I know that she can come out of it. I have intensified my prayers for her.

That day at work, I stayed away from every unnecessary contact with her, but I noticed that she was struggling with some things. She doesn’t know whether to ask me what is wrong with me again or just let me be. I caught her about three times looking at me. When I was sure that she was worried about me, I went to her and asked if she needed anything. She looked at me and asked what has given me so much confidence to approach her and misbehave. I knew it is her blog posts about me that have given me such boldness. In her words she said “Coke gives me some sort of rest which I did not get from my previous assistants. His humility strikes me every day. Despite my rude behavior to him, he forgives me over and over. I think I have finally found a neighbor.”

I know that I have to give Miss Maggi a strategy to make me laugh online, but I can use this opportunity to build up her anxiety. I have seen her thoughts so I know that she wants me around, but she is too scared to show any form of weakness. I apologized for my rude behavior and said that I have some personal struggles at this time. I know that she would not ask about the struggles. I was right. She only warned me to handle myself and keep my personal struggles away from work. The stage is set. Tonight will be great!

That night, I waited for her to post about her day before I engage her. Around 7pm, she posted about her day with the title- ‘Anonymous, He Has Personal Struggles.’ She poured out her heart about how she feels for Coke. She wants to help, but she doesn’t know how. She is bothered that Coke would not give her the rest she has had for the past 4 months again because of his personal struggles. I made her wait for one hour before I started engaging her. ‘Coke must need help’.
