A PSEUDO-FRIEND

It all began on a Saturday evening, looked harmless but it became too harmful. I thought I could cope. Yes, I put confidence in my flesh and as always it failed me. Later on, I watched a video of Pastor Prince saying the intermediate step between temptation and sin is putting confidence in the flesh. Back to the story. After putting confidence in the flesh, I had very interesting chat with you. It even got to a point that I video called you.

We were growing close, at least I thought so. Our relationship, just like a spring, got to a yield point when I asked you to come to my house anytime you decided to come to Akure from Ado-Ekiti. I thought I had a good plan, well, I thought wrong. On the day you promised to come see me, you failed on your promise. I didn't think of it as any strategy to push me away.

After getting increasingly uncomfortable with texting you and not getting any replies, I decided to call you but you missed the call. I began to feel I was doing too much. That is not really my fault because I had the problem of facing rejection from relationships at that time.

The Beginning of the End

The following day, you texted me on Whats app. That text was the beginning of the end unknown to me at the time. The text said something like me ‘subbing’ for you. For those who do not know, ‘subbing’ in short means someone sending a certain amount of airtime to you in order for you to convert it to data for browsing.

I, at that time had only about five thousand naira in my account, thinking ahead to the new semester could not take that chance of giving a girl fifty percent of my account balance so that she could have data to browse. In short, I declined, playfully. I had actually done that before and nothing happened but because she did not want to come to my house she made a fight out of it. Well, she thought I did not want to,which was true by the way, but I told her that I had no idea how to do transfer.

The Final Blow

I called you to explain things to you but you told me as soon as I stopped talking that , “I’m done with you”. I felt bad at that moment, that was the moment I knew that you were using me all along and that statement was the knockout punch to our relationship, although Ido not know what the future holds, I do know that our relationship now has reached its breaking point and it is best for me to “leave you alone” as you suggested.
