It was a beautiful sunday afternoon, i was coming back from church service when my phone rang. I looked at the caller, it was my friend Jennifer( we graduate from same university).
When i picked up the call, she asked if i was free to visit her that afternoon she wants to tell me something.
I accepted the invite, moreover i have nothing to do at home and secondly i dont have strenght to cook, so she will definitely have food at home.
After i was done with the food she served me, she didnt waste time going straight to why she called me.
She was like; "When I broke up with my ex, I did what any normal, self-preserving woman would do, I blocked him everywhere. WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, even LinkedIn (just in case professionalism wanted to misbehave).
But few weeks ago, as fate would have it, I stumbled on a video. The type that would have had both of us giggling in the DMs. I paused. Muscle memory kicked in. I ran to my block list like a woman possessed, searched his name (yes, I still remembered the spelling ๐), and unblocked him.
I didnโt say hi. I didnโt try to start a conversation. I just sent the video with the caption:
โJust thought this would make you happy.โ
Then I blocked him again with pride.
Fast forward 3days ago, it happened again. Another video. Another wave of nostalgia. I thought to myself, โIt wonโt hurt.โ
So, I repeated the ritual:
Unblocked him
Sent the video
Captioned it: โThis cracked me up, thought of you โ
Getting ready to block him again
But this timeโฆ he replied.
He said:
โPlease donโt block me yet. I have a video Iโve been waiting to send you too.โ
Something in me smiled. I thought, โAww, maybe he never really moved on.โ
My heart did a small Zanku.
Then the video dropped.
I clicked it, excited.
And what did I see?
๐ฐ๐ฝ๐คต๐ฝโโ๏ธ
A cinematic, slow-mo, drone-shot, teary-eyed, flower-petal wedding video.
HIS wedding.
To another woman.
The โjust thought this would make you happyโ queen in me froze.
The video ended with โTo forever and beyondโ and their lips locked like Wi-Fi and password.
Me: ๐ซ
I didnโt block him immediately.
I needed the network to understand that I was in a coma.
At that point, even my tears started buffering.
So yes, Iโm the clown that unblocked a man twiceโฆ
Only for him to gift me a wedding video as a reply."
At this juncture, I was looking at my friend with open mouth, speechless, I don't know if I should flog her or cry with her then console her or even laugh ๐
her.
This gender and their costly drama sef!
