2 BRAVE

It was indeed a mind-blowing statement made by him because I never thought he can say that to me knowing how long we have been dating and the things we both shared.

It was a blossoming love I had at least to me, I thought he had it too but I never knew his intentions towards me.

My thought swayed my movement as I walked slowly to my condo, funny enough to say that we both were living close.

I got an apartment close to his, in fact, that same building but a different room. Stupid! I must say but when you love, it controls your senses beyond what you can imagine. I got to my room like a drunkard, my eyes were filled with shame

My roommate was shocked to see my countenance, she got up to console me, thinking I was sobbing because of my exams. But she never knew what was going on.

"Joanne! What happened?! Please say something Nah! Was it the exam? " "I knew it! Because everybody was complaining about that last question, even Felicia didn't answer, you can imagine, Felicia the brain".

" Please say something na!"

"Babe! You won't understand, Ma' Cherie just dumped me like that without any reason".

"What!!! That's not true, I know he loves you na, you guys are a typical example of love birds na." "He gets whatever you desire at any cost, so why would he, "-

" Hmmm, na wa ooo!!.

If I tell you the shame he gave to me today, hmmm, babe leave".

"Just console yourself ooo, after all, you are still young and beautiful, as for me I pray Bayo doesn't dump me because I have spent so much money on him and his sibling, in fact, I practically feed his family, so he dare not ooo."

Ann never got to marry Bayo due to his consistent demand and frolicking with other girls including her sister.

All that I was thinking of was the apple I gave to this bastard freely without any stress on his part, how I lost focus on my exams due to his caress and succulence around me, I pondered about his consisted promises he made. Chai! How foolish I was to even think of it.

After, a week or so, I braze myself up with movies and girls' night. I traveled home to see my parents and did some cleansing over my body and soul, forgiveness and forgetfulness.

When I came, I became a new being, even though I was faced with bad grades and enough carryovers, my mind was already prepared for it.

My therapy was to live your life like a child, not minding your failures but dwell on the new things around you. Explore they say!

I walked down the aisle to get to my room when I found Him, is over 2 months gone.

"Joanne! Please wait a minute, there is something I would like to tell you he shouted from afar". as he ran towards me panting.

At first, my heart skipped but I had to control my emotions, well I just had to listen but no going back to my vomit.

"OK, please make it quick, I've got something to do inside".

"Please what could that be,

I am moving out of this Suite." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"Wow! But why"?!

"Nothing!, I said. Please you called me, what was it you wanted to tell me".

" OK, please I just wanted to say am sorry for the way I treated you, am a jerk, I shouldn't have. I. I am. just me..s.

"Please you what?"

"Fine! I messed up! Big time, please forgive me, let's start afresh".

"OK, I accept your apology but bear this in mind that I HAVE MOVED ON"!
