"Ife na, it's okay " my best friend shalewa kept on consoling me. I couldn't even stop the tears from flowing cause I felt really heartbroken.
"Ife stop crying na, you're just hurting yourself the more"
"I can't stop shalewa... "I hiccuped "...it hurts really bad "
"I know" shalewa replied
"no you don't " I shouted
I continued "you don't know how it feels, first it was Tobi and now Nonso"
I had just suffered another breakup, Nonso and I had been dating for two years and just yesterday he took me to one really nice restaurant at Victoria Island, I thought he was going to propose. I wore a red gown and of course my nails were fixed so when I take pictures it'll look really nice. The thing is for the past 3 months I've been fixing my nails since we had discussed marriage and kids and I felt we were ready to take it to the next level.
Nonso was just the perfect man except for the fact that he was a mama's boy and I was ready to even manage that because I mean there's no one without flaws, right?
After we had eaten, which I must say that the food was really nice, he just had to break my heart at that point by saying "my mom doesn't think we're good for each other " and right there my heart shattered into tiny bits.
"what do you mean " I asked
"I think we should end this relationship " For goodness sake who takes the girl they're about to end things with to a fancy restaurant.
"I really love you Ife, it's just that my mother doesn't think we should be together "
"what kind of love is that? Love that you can't fight for? "
I had met his mother twice, she just acted indifferent towards me but I didn't think it mattered as long as Nonso and I loved each other, I guess I'm wrong then.
"Don't worry someone better will come your way " shalewa said bringing me back from my thoughts.
"and then he'll just leave just like the others " I cleaned my face as I had stopped crying.
"ahn ahn at least try to have a positive mind " I just ignored her.
"oya let me cook for you" I smiled at that
She continued "do you have stew? Let me boil rice "
"I want ofada rice and that your ayamase sauce " I told her
"see your mouth like ayamase " she laughed " let me quickly prepare it just because I love you "
I laughed as she left the sitting room heading towards my kitchen. She just knows what to make me happy.
Thank you for reading.
