THE SUDDEN PROPOSAL 4
I woke up early the next morning with so much confidence, I picked up my phone to check because I was 100% sure that Folu must have sent me a message. After all, on a normal day, he sends me messages in the morning and at night before I sleep.
Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any message from the Folu so I was concerned.
“Maybe he is busy, and it would come before the day runs out,” I said to myself.
It was a Saturday, and no call or text was coming from him, I pretended as if it didn’t bother me one bit. I continued my activities for the day since I was home all day. I made some soups, I made beef stew, I also made vegetable soup, and I refrigerated them so that when Monday comes, and I get back to work, I won’t have to struggle with cooking and all of that.
On Sunday morning I woke up and I noticed there wasn’t any call or text from him. However, I didn’t let that bother. I had my bath and dressed up in my sky-blue dress which looked great on me even without any accessories.
“Ahhh! God dey create,” I exclaimed.
I wore my silver necklace, earrings, and a ring on my finger, and picked up my white clutch and shoes to head out. I ordered an Uber, and soon I arrived at the church, and the service went on fine.
Sadly, Fulu didn’t show up to say hi to me as he always did. This was when I sensed that there was a problem. I tried to ignore it and took a taxi back home, but the following day, when there was still no word from Folu, I decided to reach out and ask if anything was wrong. I sent him a text;
“Hi, Fofo! I hope everything is okay, did I do something to upset you? This one that you haven’t reached out in 2 days. Anyways, I was just missing our drama and I thought to reach out since pride wouldn’t let you. Do call me soon.”
Folu never responded to my text. No, I mean Folu ghosted me. A whole me! My ego didn’t let me breathe and I thought of what I would do to get even with him.

“Guy, this torture is too much. I know the plan is to ghost her for a while but it’s becoming unbearable for me,” Folu said to Dennis.
“Ahhhh! If I was ever told that you would fall in love, I would have doubted but just look at your sorry face. You who is supposed to be the ladies man. See, you can’t spoil our plan, 10 days is the goal and it is just 7 days,” Dennis responded.
“Nawa oh! If I lose her, I will blame you forever oh.”
“Lose? Did you just mention lose? How can you lose what is not even yours?” Dennis teased.
“If you want to insult me, start with ‘waka,’ which one is this nah?”
“Hahaha! Sorry but why do you even love this girl so much, considering how she’s been treating you?”
“Do you get it? This is the first time a girl will reject me. She is not moved one bit about my wealth. I know she can be rude sometimes but this girl too legit. My wealth doesn’t move her and generally what thrills other ladies doesn’t thrill her. This alone is everything. She’s so blunt too.”
“Security! Help! One comrade down,” Dennis poked.
“I forgive you, bro. I really do.”
The two guys chatted and afterwards, Dennis left Folu as he went home.

“Chi, if I ever let Folu into my space again, make I bend,” I said to my friend over the phone.
All she could do was to laugh and tease me but I had made up my mind to pay Folu back in his coin.
I was busy on my laptop when I heard a knock on my door, I wasn’t expecting anyone so I hurried to go open it up without checking who it was.
Lo and behold, it was Folu smiling gleefully at me.
“Ahhh!” I exclaimed.
