Dear Diary,
How could he want to come back after shattering my heart into pieces? In the space of two years, he had all of a sudden changed. But can a leopard ever change its spots? I remember how he would beat me up anytime I went against his will. As if that was not enough, he tried to change me. How could he compare me with Kim Kardashian?
You are too thin….Just like that NEPA pole, he would make jest of me, as he pointed to the almost fallen pole at 60 degrees. It was that way after the terrible storm that rocked their area on that fateful day. I remember the lightning and thunder that caused shivers in my body. It reminded her of the flood during the days of Noah in the bible.
Back to him, one moment he was the sly unrepentant boyfriend, next moment, he is now the saint. He had done several damages that were beyond repair. But was he behaving like this because he knew I would be always available? Supposing I was ‘taken’ as she and her girlfriend framed the marriage institution.
He must be a joker to think that having his hair bald, shaving all his beard would make him new. It was not like she was unforgiving but he had shown her ‘pepper’. During their courtship, she felt like a slave. She had no sense of identity with his constant taunts and abuses. She wondered why she still held on to him maybe because she felt she would without a husband just like her Aunty.
Aunty Bimpe’s story was a tale for another day. The things men do that make women go gaga, only God knows. Now he was coming back through the back door, trying to rekindle an old flame that has long burnt and turned into ashes. Was she ready to take him back especially now that he is ‘changed’. Was it for better or for worse?
