Francis: Sandra, you honestly need to start behaving better.
Time without number have I let you know that as my girlfriend there are something’s you shouldn’t be doing.
See, for example; just take a look at yourself, then look at me!
Does your style of dressing even match with mine?
Sandra: But baby?!
Francis: You were not looking this out of shape when we first started dating, and now I can’t even imagine what you will turn into after I go see your parents.
Sandra: But baby, you have always loved me this way nau
Francis: What way??
Sandra, honestly you are disgracing me every time we are out with my friends.
At least you do see their girlfriends how well to do they are.
See, Sandra you are just too calm for my liking!! I need fire In our relationship and not all this you keep promising me to be better.
Sandra: But baby this your comparison isn’t good oo.
You are always comparing me with those girls, girls you know very well that are living a total different life from me.
Francis: Sandra, if at all, can’t you just pretend to be like them? Yes you heard me right, be like them! As a matter of fact I want you to be like them.
Please excuse me!!
Sandra: Baby, babes, please come back nau, it hasn’t gotten to that! You know I’m trying my best! Baby?!!!
Even as she tries to run after him she couldn’t meet up as she continue muttering words
“Every time Sandra this Sandra that! I really don’t know what I can do to sustain this relationship. ‘HIS HE TRULY READY FOR THIS?’
====================
Onyeka : Shazam what nonsense are you always trying to prove? you mean i can no longer talk you?
Shazam: hey hey hold it there, you don’t have such right to be controlling me up and down you are not in the position to do so!
Onyeka : Shazam I am your boyfriend for crying out loud and I have all rights to look after you and make sure you are okay.
Shazam, what am asking of you is to regard me a little, as your boyfriend.
You go out without letting me know where you are going to and most times you act like you are also in a relationship with my friends. Please am honestly hurt by this you do!
Shazam: Onyeka I told you I am in this because you are agreed it will be an open relationship.
We both had agreed to be free to do whatever we want and with who ever we please to. Stop asking me for what I can’t give to you.
Onyeka : baby stop nau!
You hurt Me with this your words. Yes I had said that when we first started this, but now I think ‘I AM TRULY READY’!
Shazam: Ready?! Yes I’ve been meaning to ask; between a man and woman, who actually decides the relationship?
Onyeka: Hmmm that question you are asking seems like a set-up for me o!! I won’t answer that!
But baby, what man in his right senses would be okay to agree to an open relationship?!
Shazam, if you Can moderate this behavior of yours a little bit I believe we will do better with us in no distant time!
Shazam: Onyeka abeg, I think we are done
Please I’ll see you when I see you.
This as she was leaving the house- she bumped into Francis, Onyeka’s friend, and they both exchanged pleasantries.
“Hi Shazam looking flashy as always” Francis compliments.
“Thanks Francis” “You are not looking bad either, go in your friend is inside”
=======================
Francis: Guy how far nau, honestly ennnn I do envy you and Shazam relationship ooo. Kai you two are just so perfect! That babe just dey do you wella unlike Sandra that am asking to learn from your babe!
Onyeka: Guyy! I will advice you not to wish for what you are not absolutely sure of.
Francis: Ah-ha, wetin this one dey talk?! Is it not you two am seeing that are all lovey dovey and the envy of everyone lips? See werey wan disquise em relationship o!
Onyeka: Francis, you still don’t get it, do you?
What you and Sandra share, or rather I’ll paraphrase, what Sandra shares with you is one of a kind that you must thank God for the rest of your life!
Im really surprised a girl like Sandra put up with you despite how you maltreat her!
Onyeka: See my guy, Shazam dey show me shege for this house!
Like, this babe literally don’t respect our relationship at all and the worst thing is I’ve actually asked her couple of times too to try learn from your girlfriend, sandra, she is well organized.
Francis: You don’t mean it?
Onyeka: See my guy, good girls are hard too find these days and especially girls like Sandra that respects and loves you unconditional.
You don’t know how lucky you are.
Francis: Bro no dey talk this thing!
Is because you don’t live with her(Sandra) that’s why you are saying all this.
Onyeka: what are you saying? Have you forgotten I’ve long known Sandra even before we became friends?
My guy if you don’t learn to treat your woman right and regard the queen she is another man will help appreciate her take her away from you.
Francis: Wohh!! How could I have not seen this! Onyeka I’ve really messsd up, i need to go see Sandra right away and apologize for comparing her!!
Immediately he ran home
======================
Sandra, baby, baby, where are you?
Francis: Baby am sorry, baby please I know I have been very wrong to you, comparing you to someone else and wanting you to be something you are not. Baby please sorry I now know better.
Sandra: You have no idea how the words you say to me hurt so bad.
Francis you have no idea, how you make me feel when you say I can never be good enough of you!
What if we get married tomorrow and I change in shape and size?
What if something terrible happens to me, would you still find me attractive?
Are you even aware love is not sometimes enough to keep lovers together?
But you know what? after what you said to me this morning before you left the house.
I ask myself; AM I TRULY READY?
Am I truly ready to begin this journey of marriage with you?
“Yes baby yes baby! I am ready we are ready” this Francis replied without hesitating.
Sandra: “I doubt we are!
Like I had thought earlier… I thought you coming to see my parents was the most precious thing to me but today you made me realized that I AM NOT READY TO DO THIS WITH YOU!!
“Goodbye Francis, we are done!”
At this point Francis knew he has lost a good one! He has lost Sandra, as what she said was the simple truth he failed to regard. ‘THANKLESS LOVE IS NO LOVE‘.
===============
We all need to learn appreciate, strengthen and be a pillar of supports for the people we claim to love. Happy Valentines Day
