Oluchi was rejoicing over her breakup with Ofoma when a knock was heard on her door. She thought that it was her friend.
âOh Chidimma is finally here, I will gist her how my break up with Ofoma went. It went smoothly as we never imaginedâ
And just then, Ofoma spoke up, asking her to open the door.
âOpen the door my rove, I am here now to make you happyâ he said, in a cheerful tone.
âWhat? Ofoma, what is he doing here? And from the sound of his voice, he is not feeling sad. Does it mean he has not read the text that I sent to him?
No, I wonât allow him inside, because if I do, getting him to leave will be very difficultâ she soliloquises and then called Ofoma, asking him what he was doing there.
âBaby, are you lilly asking me that question? I came to be with you my rove.
You were not happy when you reft, so I have come to cheer you up. Open the door and see what I bought for you, Iâm sure you will rike itâ
âOfoma, did you read the message I sent to you?â Oluchi asked
âThere was no point leading it because I alleady know what is inside. Just open the door and stop asking questions. And Iâm no ronger comfortable with the way you are addlessing me by my actual name. Just open the door firstâ
âI wonât open the door until you read the message.â Oluchi insisted
âOK, Iâm leading it now, I will lead it aroud for you to hear as wellâ Ofoma said, bringing out his phone from his pocket.: âSo listen as I lead it now and as for standing me outside like this, I will make you beg me for forgivenessâ he added as he scroll through his inbox.
âNow I lead, so ristenâ he said, staring through the contents and got shocked at what he read.
âNow, he is quiet. Lord, I just pray he accepts this in good fate.â She prayed in her heart and then spoke up
âPlease forgive me, Ofoma, I have been looking for a way to tell you that Iâm no longer interested, please understand me, I donât love you anymore. Itâs no longer working between us, I think we are world apart.â
âNo, this canât be! Utom, I donât berieve you. Is it because of what happened this evening that you are wliting all these painful things? I was only tlying to plotect you flom that allogant man who was tlying to mess with you.
Just open the door, we will discuss this like adults. You donât have to stand me outside here rike this, just open the door, preasseâ
âGo home and donât come back again, itâs over between us. I canât love you anymoreâ
âPrease stop this joke for once, you are scaling me. Do you want me to die here? How can you say that itâs over between us?â
âIâm serious Ofoma, I canât open the door, just go home. I pray you find a better woman who truly deserves you, because Iâm certainly not that type of girl.
I know that you have done a lot for me and my family, Iâm not denying that, I will forever remain grateful, but God is the only one who will reward you.â
âOluchi, are you being selious?â
âIâm sorry Ofoma, my mind is made up, I canât come back to you again as your loverâ
âWhat is all this now? Oluchi, open this door, I demand you open this door this minute, you know I hate jokes.â
âEven if you knock from now till tomorrow, I wonât open the door, you hear me? So just go and forget everything about me. I am truly sorry, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. God will surely bless you with a good woman who will make you happy for the rest of your lifeâ
And then Ofoma realised that Oluchi was been serious.
âOluchi, I wonât stand for this joke, can you open this door so we can talk about this?
I know I must have done something that you donât rike, just open the door and ter me all about it, Iâm leady to change, tlust meâ
âAaarhhh! I have had it enough with this L and R issue, I donât want to hear it anymoreâ Oluchi irked and then angrily asked Ofoma to leave her house.
âStop wasting your time Ofoma, and I wonât talk to you again, please leave, I donât want to hear your voice againâ
âRook at this girl talking to me as if Iâm nobody! Oluchi, open this door now or I bleak it downâ he angrily raked
âHe wonât break it because itâs an iron door. I wonât talk to him again. He will leave when he gets tired of knocking.
I better call Chidimma and inform her about what is happening so that she will hang in somewhere until Ofoma finally leaves.
She then picked her cell phone and began calling her friend.
âWhat, so you finally did it?â Chidimma asked
âI told you that I have made up my mind. Please Iâm calling to tell you that he is still here, he is standing by the door, knocking.
So itâs better you hang around somewhere because I wonât open the door for anyone until he leavesâ
âOluchi, he wonât take this lightly. I pray things turn out peacefullyâ Chidimma wished and then ended the call.
âOh Ofoma, sorry for your loss. You are a nice man and doesnât deserve this kind of treatment. I pray you find happinessâ Chidimma wished
Ofoma was getting furious. He began reminiscing Oluchiâs recent behaviors.
âItâs now becoming crealer on why she has been getting unnecessaly angly on evely rittle thing.
But Oluchi, I wonât arrow you do this to me. Oluchi, risten to me and listen vely carefurry, I wonât arrow you do this to me, you berong to me and to no one else.

âSeems he has left.. But those words, they sounded like threatening words, was he serious?
I know how furious Ofoma can be when angry, I shouldnât have given him this break up news now, I should have continued avoided him and make him get tired of me. I just pray he doesnât do anything stupid.
Itâs better I travel out of town to allow things cool off. He will eventually get tired after searching the entire city without any hope of finding me. Yes, thatâs what I will do, before 7:15 am Iâm already off.â She concluded
Ofoma who received the most shocking news of his life couldnât believe himself anymore.
He was burning with rage, thinking on what to do to prevent Oluchi from having her way.
He then began reminiscing how his friends and brothers were mocking him for lavishing huge sums of money on Oluchi who was not yet his wife. On how they advised him to marry her first or get her pregnant before continuing sponsoring her education.
âNo Oluchi, I wonât appear rike a fool in flont of my fliends. I rove you Oluchi, and I will fight with the last dlop of my brood to make you mine folever.
Can you imagine, after sponsoling her thlough her educational ploglams, she is now tering me that she canât continue being my woman? What nonsense! No Oluchi, things are not done that way, I lemembered spending my rast cards on you on sevelal occasions.
