She was always the one calling, texting and even chatting up on WhatsApp.
Each time she called him, it would take up to 3 missed calls before he would respond to the calls, and once he did, he would tell her that he was busy.
鈥淚 will call you back once I am done with what I am doing, you know my work is always demanding." He would always say.
And then, she would wait, like a groom waiting for his bride, hoping that he would call or at least send a text, but he never did.
And then, the next day, she would be the one to call again and try to express how she felt for being neglected and aband贸ned.
鈥淵ou don't understand me at all. So, you can't even hold on for the one you claim to love, even when you know he is always busy?" He would always ask.
And then, she would feel gu卯lty, for being a partner who doesn't understand her love.
This continued for a while, and then, she wasn't taking it anymore. She was in a relationship, yet she appeared like a b猫ggar.
Always the one apologizing even when she ain't wrong, always the one calling, always the one texting, even when her messages get ign贸red severally.
And then, one day, she woke up with a different kind of spirit. She told herself that she had had enough. So, she decided to take the bull by the horn.

So, she st贸pped calling, st贸pped texting and even st贸pped chatting.
She would come online, update her status, engage with friends and get busy with her purpose and pursuit.
At first, the guy felt she was just acting up.
鈥淪he will come back b猫gging, I know her, she can't live without me." He said to himself.
And then, he waited, for the day when she would come back to b猫g and apologiz猫, for keeping silent on him.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, yet she didn't show up with the apologies.
And then, one fateful day, he woke up to a sh贸cking WhatsApp status.
It was a gallery of pre-wedding pictures posted on her status. His supposed partner would be getting married in a month time, to another man.
And for the first time, j猫alousy welled up within him. He was so 脿ngry that he couldn't wait fo
