Mara woke up in the morning feeling depressed and broken, she opened her window to let in some natural air, she still felt the same after doing that, closing back her curtain she slumped on her bed thinking of what could have given her the depressed feeling this beautiful morning, she had barely closed her eyes to think before it came flooding her memory, she started sobbing from afresh as her wounds has been reopened, Obinna had broken up with her the previous night in his apartment, remembering the love they shared together, the promises and the nice times she started sobbing loudly. Obinna is no longer hers, he left her broken for someone richer, the thought alone is ripping her heart apart. She remembered how they met when she was doing her faculty clearance in her 100 level at IMO State University.

She had gone to school very early in the morning to avoid getting hers done very late as there will be crowd at the faculty, she had barely joined the small cue she found when she heard a voice behind her.

” Are you the last person on the cue”? She rolled her eyes at him, isn’t it obvious? Is there anyone behind her but she didn’t say it out instead she smiled and told him yes. They finished their clearance and friendship was established between them which later grew to relationship as they later fell in love with each other, they graduated from the university, went for the clarion call, while Obinna got employed as a messenger to a renowned lawyer after searching for a good Job which didn’t work out, Mara opened a small scale business where she sells different types of weavons, wigs and hair attachments. To them, as long as they love each other, that was all they needed.

Mara sobbed loudly, where has she gone wrong, she did everything any girl would do for a guy she is dating, she doesn’t understand how Obinna could have left her after six years of been together, why? She was still sobbing when her mother Mrs Johnson came in with a cup of coffee, she shook her head and sobbed more, mother he left me, Obim ( as she fondly calls him) left me, my life has finished.

Don’t say that again Amarachi, Obinna is not your life and he can never be, you are hurting right now and I know, please stop crying, I didn’t sleep well last night knowing that you are heartbroken.

It’s alright mom, I will put my heart and mind in my business, I will forget about him, I wish him happiness though, Mrs Johnson couldn’t help but smile at her daughter for taking such decision, that is my daughter she said, now finish up this coffee and get going to your shop young lady. Giving her mom a fake smile, okay mom I will be out in a jiffy, thanks Mom you are the best, Alright Mara I will be in the living room. Immediately her Mom shut the door behind her she started sobbing from afresh, who says she can ever get over Obinna? She can’t, Obinna is her life, she can’t do without him.
