It was just a drink -2

#Life_story #The_African_way

Greetings my friends, today I am sharing part 2 of our story. Part 1 can be read from here.🤗

The day I asked about your father, it felt as though I had poured cold water onto your skin.
Your big lovely eyes popped up and I also noticed your heart racing faster than Bolt.
As much as I had met your twin brothers, I had never heard you talk about daddy.
So on that day when I asked you about your father, it’s then that you told me about your sour relationship with him.
You asserted that you do not talk to him in-depth beyond just greeting and this was from since you were a child.
You only talked to mum on a small scale but otherwise, you made mention of how you are alone, all by yourself hustling hard.
This gave me insight as to why you always asked me how I easily related with both my parents and siblings.
You practically did not have a healthy relationship with your dad and you never wanted to talk about it beyond what you had already said.
I wholeheartedly respected your decision and chose to move forward.

A year passed and our lives progressed,
We continued to do life together
You had captured my heart and I was very willing to do anything and work very hard just for us to lead better lives
Thanks be to God for the fact that I had a small job then that helped me support us financially.
Oh, how I was willing to support us because I knew I had found a seed in you and therefore I needed to water it so that God grows it to fruition.
There is no single day that I showed up at your house empty-handed
I always carried something for us and for you to keep and consume later
I loved carrying yogurt and food because we enjoyed this as we binge-watched movies
One that I recall us enjoying the most is God friended me, a series we both loved.

Saying that I loved you is an understatement,
Mehnnnnn
……………………you were my life🙈
I saw an organized future with you…
You were my kind of prayer answered and always looked forward to our firstborn son
Similarly, you tried to show me that you loved me through your physical availability and hugs.

You were available to spend time with me
You supported my ideas of growing our emotional and economic muscle
You constantly shared wisdom with me regarding different life issues and decisions
You even silenced some babe who almost beat me up for stealing you…
Hahaha,
I never knew that ‘one can beat one another on assumption that one was having an affair with one’s boyfriend.
That was romantic in my eyes🤗
You cried and laughed with me
We even played together..
Your love was so tender and that got me to relax so much to extent that it was easy for me to surrender my baby phone to you to use as you run your errands
I did not mind being off air for as long as I had helped you be online and keep coordinating all your work
I wanted the best for you and I,
I believed in your gigantic dreams too…

Honestly, I still believe that one day you will be the great Entrepreneur you have always dreamed of.

I believed in our relationship and went ahead to settle it in my mind, that I had arrived when it came to relationships.
I thought you were there to dwell
I thought we were on the same page
I thought we had a similar end goal in mind

As time continued to fly, everything was well until I started to notice your inconsistencies
For all the years we were an item,
You never remembered my birthday😭
Not even after the many countless times I opened up to you about the importance of my birthday in my life…
Your not being concerned about it got me thinking many things
Especially, the saddest birthday where you stood me up at your friend’s hostel.
I remember how miserable I looked waiting for you to return

Tears falling

Generally,
I noticed that;
You would only show up when you needed physical, financial or emotional help.
I do not remember any day I was with you and all that concerns you was ok…
You always had some drama going on and I interpreted that as you being vulnerable and hence I needed to be there and love on you…
I took up the responsibility of fighting your battles with you
This I did whole heartedly but it was all in vain…
You still woke up one day and complained absmall-bodied bodied I am and yet you are attracted to chubby females
You still pushed me to become chubbier or else I risked losing you
Yogurt and other fattening items were a must on our menus but I never concentrated on them the times I was away from you
I did not consider it a big deal till you over mentioned it in our conversations
You still went ahead to ghost me for 2 years
You still refused to pick my calls and neither did you pay back any of the cash I had loaned to you

You simply got all we…
or should I say,
all I had built and threw it into a trash can
After all the ghosting for close to 3 years, you decided to end business with me.
Yes, the relationship turned into a business
You did it in the best way you knew how by simply letting me know how you then had started a family of your own
You did not explain anything
You simply moved on
Not caring about me…
Your moving on sent me into my second bad break up
Nothing kills one’s heart like a silent break up

When I sit and try to remember all the good times we had, the unhappy ending,
I can’t help but believe that it was just a drink.

There was no love in that glass you handed me the first day you saw me. It was just a drink that I took and the glass was left empty.

Yes indeed,

It was just a drink!💔💔💔

Walking away

Till then,

I am the Lioness Arising!
