I told her it was a guy thing and assured her it was
just important we see, talk for just a short time and
then return to be with her. I decided to freed myself
fom her that moment because I could vividly
deduced from her look that she had missed me so
much and was about to inititated a romantic play which would not lead to sex like we do before, not
knowing my thought was far different from her
otive..................so, I lied, I would be return that day
which I didn't keep. I spent the night in fausa place
at gate. It was one of the most memorable night of
my life. Fausa’s apartment was great, cool. And
there was constant power supply.
With everything that happened and fausa's
frustration, I became anxious of moving in to join
her. Though she was mounting pressure on me; I
guess it was high time I take the decision, let seyi
know that I was no longer in love with her again.
All throughout the night, my phone was switched
off, I didn’t want to receive seyi’s call. I know seyi
will be worried. As I was going back home, I
thought about the first day I laid my eyes on seyi,
that first love for her that struck me, all that had
faded away. I was asking myself how. I thought of
what seyi will do when I tell her that I want a
break-up; she loves me so much, I loved her but,
that was then, that love had varnished. I am now
thinking of a new life with Fausa. I got to the
house, immediately I entered the gate, seyi was
sitting on a bench on the veranda, I guess she was
worried and was waiting for me to come in. She ran
towards me immediately, I thought she wanted to slap me but no, she hugged me, “where have you
been since. I have been trying your line but it was
switched off,” she said. I told her I slept over at my
friends place. “You should have atleast called me,
you got me worried” she said, I told her I was sorry
but there was no network coverage at the area. I
lied to her, I told her that the friend I went to visit
(seye), took me to another friend’s place, and there
was no network, and we couldn’t come back, we
had to sleep over. She dragged me to her room. She
was just talking of how she tried my mobile number
several times, called couple of my friends to know
if I was with them.
I kept mute as she talked. She noticed I was not
talking as she talked,
“What is wrong with you, are you okay” she asked,
“I want us to break up,” I replied her. She looked at
me as if I was joking.
“Stop joking around joor, na hunger dey do you this,
you better wait let me cook so you eat” she said to
me. As she stood up to leave my presence, I held
her left hand and dragged her back, “I am damn
serious, let’s just go our separate ways” I said to
her. She laughed out loud, “leave my hand joor, I have something on fire, let me go and check it
before you start all this your play” she said again;
“am moving into Fausa’s house by Saturday” I said,
immediately she hear that, she turned around and
faced me,
our eyes met, I saw those emotions in her eyes, the
pain that I have disappointed her.
“Why, how manage, when, what are you saying” are
you with your sense atall? Moving and be staying
together with a witchhhhhhhh.......she screamed;
she was finding it difficult to alter words out of her
mouth. i released my hands on hers, I left for my
room, she followed me immediately, as I entered
my room, she followed me, “wait, I want to
understand what you are saying” she said, “you
mean you are leaving me for fausa”
she said again, “yes” I replied; “Is this a joke or
what” she asked, I didn’t know what to say again
as I looked into her eyes as tears was rolling down
her cheeks. I knelt down,
held her two toes, begging her to forgive me. I
know she felt betrayed and disappointed in me.
Even me sef dey feel bitter. Looking at her sharing
those tears in my presence, I wished that love I
once had for her will come back. Indeed I have truly betrayed her, how I wish I could find a way of
making it up to her.
She turned and left my room, leaving me still
kneeling down. I stood up, brought out some of
those things she bought for me, took them to her
room, she was sitting on her reading chair holding
a picture we took together. I dropped those things
on her table. As I was leaving, she called my name,
I turned to her, “so you are serious that you are
leaving me” she asked,
I was totally speechless, I don’t know how to
answer her. I was still looking into her eyes, “Yes I
am” I said, I turned around and left.
