BLEED
By Greg Elue Okwumbu
"Sorry am not interested in the relationship again, I have someone now that God showed me at Shiloh. He is the one I am going to marry"
Those words from Ifunnaya threw Ngekwu off balance.
It's just three weeks to their wedding and Ifunnaya is calling it off.
Ngekwu has spent a Fortune on the wedding plans.
Immediately hot sweats ran down his face, he hoped he could be dreaming, but everything as as real as ever.
Ifunnaya stood up and entered the room, leaving her phone behind. Her mum could not hold back her tears, her father looked in shame; what a terrible daughter I have raised he said.
Ifunnaya's phone beeped once, Ngekwu looked at the phone, he wanted to go for it, but withdrew as her father already made move for it.
Ifunnaya's father Mr Okogie, picked up the phone and silently read a message. Immediately his mood changed, he raised his head and looked at Ngekwu and his wife simultaneously. His expression is not looking good. He turned to Ifunnaya's Mum and said "Your daughter has brought deep shame to our family"
"What is it Nnanyi" Ifunnaya's Mum said with tears in her eyes.
Mr Okogie handed the phone to Ngekwu and said "My Son, please go, you can't marry my daughter, God will give you another woman that truly deserves you"
Ngekwu, still trying to come to reality of what is going on, took the phone from Ifunnaya's Dad and was greeted with a message which reads:
"Ify you're such an amazing person, though it's so funny that we just met this weekend and we've already had s*x, I think we should just take things slow first, let's just be friends for now, let's see how things turns out. Cheers. Phillip"
