My Happy Ending

He popped the big question at the surprise birthday party he threw for me. He invited my close friends and family and that was the happiest day of my life. I said Yes to his proposal because I couldn't think of spending the rest of life with anybody else. All that joy didn't last long because everything came crashing down the next day. It was an unfortunate morning that I wish I wasn't alive to witness. I heard a knock on my apartment door, "Yes, who is that?" I said. "It's me babe" replied a voice from outside. I recognised it because it was the voice of my boyfriend or rather ex-boyfriend, Dayo. I was excited to see him but he didn't seem happy. I offered him a seat which he politely declined. There was an eerie silence in the living room but seconds later Dayo broke the silence with words I never imagined he would say " Let's break up". It sounded like a joke to me and I definitely thought I heard wrong. "What? What did you say?" I asked while smiling. Dayo repeated it and I asked now amidst tears, shaky legs and gradually losing every bit of composure I have left "why? Out of nowhere? Just like that? We are engaged. You proposed to me yesterday at the party. Have you forgotten? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, please forgive me." Dayo turned his back on me and started saying things that seemed like words but is actually nonsense to me "I'm sorry Bethany, you did nothing wrong and I know I proposed to you yesterday but I have been thinking about this for sometime. The problem is with me and not you. I need to fix myself and I need you to understand me". At this point, the sadness I was feeling was already mixed with anger. My boyfriend of 3 years just asked me to understand him after breaking up with me a day after proposing. "Understand? I'm supposed to understand you? You are breaking up with me without giving me any good explanation and you expect me to understand you? Please, leave my house" I blurted out angrily and Dayo left my house. I probably shouldn't have sent him out because I had and still have a lot of unanswered questions but my emotions took over. I was so devastated and it felt like someone kept stabbing my heart. My whole world and all the happiness I thought I had came crumbling down within a blink of an eye.
