LOVE TURNS SOUR
235 Words
Standing in his balcony and gazing in the dark,Chide feeling so dejected and troubled,said to himself "If only someone could tell me that this whole thing is not true, if only I never saw you the second time.Bisi,the woman of my dream, I have always hoped to walk you down the aisle,I have hoped so much to have you bear my children. Why is life so cruel? The moment we think we have become better and stronger, everything suddenly turns soft." Chide was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice it was very late in the night as he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He had lost his appetite and the control of himself from the the moment he heard the sad news three days ago.He hurried to the kitchen, opened his refrigerator and brought out two pieces of doughnut, a toasted chicken lap and a bottle of red wine that he bought a day before he got the news.
" Thanks to God I got these,the life of a bachelor is not an easy one."He said to himself as he managed to eat a piece from the doughnut,a small portion of the toasted chicken lap and drank a glass of red wine.This was the only thing he had eaten since three days.
He rushed to the bathroom for a cold shower,hoping to have some sleep after all the sleepless nights.
