‘We finally broke up’, he said as I listened with keen interest and wondered within me what might possibly be the problem cos’ about two months ago it was love all the way, we could barely discuss pressing issues but his love to this same girl.
She was seeing another guy… he mumbled
An uncontrollerable outburst of laughter ensued from my loins, such could not be contained, but I must try. So I cunningly diverted it into a seemingly unending cough that lasted for like 20 seconds. I soon discovered that am beginning to draw attention to our table within the restaurant where we stopped over for a brief relief from site work; I excused myself and immediately rushed to the restroom where I could easily empty the rest of the un-expressed amusement.
He continued, after I hv returned to my seat, fully comported to hear the rest of the story; ‘I called off the relationship when I realised that she has another man in her life….hmmn that’s all, its all over now’.
At this point I became moody as I sensed sorrow in his heart, and I regretted laughing at him but not completely ‘cos I know my guy…hehehehehe
Is she all you have? I asked with an austere expression.
‘Hmmmn! You know, men run things; we are in control…that’s how it ought to be’. Are you answering my question? I queried at once.
‘Eeemmmh! You know now, guy man gats to be sharp nah, one leg here one leg there, adighi ano ofu ebe ekiri mmanwu (one can’t get the full fun when viewing a masquerade from one side).
At those words, my mind went blank for a split second, my thoughts consequently went wild and I refrained from bursting out immediately, I kept my thoughts within me,
· See this my guy ooh, nawaooh
· So why complain that shes seeing another guy since you are culpable of the same offence
· Ooh, men run things, and women get runned/ruinned? Answer me Mr. man ( I asked as if my thoughts were audible)
· Nawaooh…..see someones philosophy, come to think of it, what would have made the girl to stick to you when theres no guarrantee that you will marry her?
· Men are polygamous in nature, maybe this is his over-riding principle in relationships…I wonder ooh. And women are slaves for life? Too bad.
A call from his cell phone interrupted my thoughts and I guessed same happened to him too ‘cos it seems he has a lot on his mind too. He excused himself and whispered in my ears…a new catch… with his usual amusing expression.
He returned after a long conversation with his new catch over the phone, ooops, our time is up here, lets get back to work, he said.
As we walked, he continued, ‘i just wish that one day women will learn to have one man in their lives’, I shouted,….Amen, and men will stop double dating too.
He acted deaf to my last clause, he further expressed, ‘they nolonger abide by our cutural values and dictates, anyway that’s why a lot of them are not maried yet…..mtcheew’
So how will your evening be like? I asked as we got close to site. Any plans for me, he asked with a full smile on his face. Yes I replied, I want to take you to a nearby river/stream.
For what? He screamed, you know I don’t swim. In reply I said, I really want to personally supervise the washing/cleaning of your brain/mind ‘cos it’s filled with dirts and junky mindsets and afterwords refresh your thought pattern back to factory default (the way God created it)
The rest of the story, are they not written in the ‘tales of cutex and his friend’?
We are always quick to judge others while we think we are perfect, men think it’s their heritage to be promiscous and gets infuriated when their partner does the same, and if you think am encouraging our ladies to doubledate then you missed the main theme of the story. Its fiction anyway, before you start throwing stones at this my good friend…heheheheehe Dalunu!
