"Nonso I'm so sorry, I didn't know what I was doing, the guy had some sort of control over me, I can assure you I will never do something like that again".

I kept on talking till I noticed Nonso wasn't even looking my way, I met him bent over backwards at his mini bar. He didn't move so he's been like that for nothing less than four minutes, I became concerned and decided to walk up to him.

"Nonso", I said as I moved to touch him . Immediately my hand touched him, he swung his arm with a glass cup which harshly landed on my face. "Don't you lay your slutty hands on me ever again!", He yelled, I lost my balance for a second or two and held my right cheek, I couldn't shout though the pain was excruciating. I was too shocked to shout.

"Nonso you slapped me", I mumbled, then found my voice and repeated, "Nonso you slapped me!" This time much more louder and as if I angered him the more, he rushed towards me and opened his mouth to speak, instead of hearing his voice, I heard the voice of a lion roaring words like "After all I've done for you!!!", "What could he have that I haven't given you???!!!", "You're such an ungrateful daughter of a dog!!!", I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.

Nonso became a beast, or maybe he just unleashed the beast that has been inside him all along.
"I went against my mother's wish for you!" He yelled and threw one bottle of wine at me, he missed, maybe intentionally, I wasn't sure, I became scared and heart broken.
"I was ready to spend eternity with you!" He yelled again and threw yet another bottle at me, he missed again and I had to scream this time, I couldn't help but wonder if this was how my life would end. 
"I love you Nonso, I still do, please stop this and let's move on with the wedding", I said, then I realized I was in tears already.

"Wedding?!" He yelled, "what wedding? I can not get married to a cheat, to someone who doesn't love me!" 
He said.
"But I love you Nonso!" I cried out.
"Shut up!!!" He yelled and threw another bottle, this time he threw it at the wall close to me, "you don't love me", he sniffed, "you don't". He said and became calm.
It was then that I noticed that Nonso had been in tears since I walked in to the house.

"You know what", he said and walked up to me as he wiped the tears off his face, "explain to me, like you wanted to before, just explain", he announced and sat down.
I paused, this could finally be it, this was the Nonso I knew, I could bet we were still going to get married after he heard my explanation.
I seized the opportunity and told him everything, how I hated Francis, how he manipulated me, how it could be a set up, how I loved him too much to let something this 'petty' ruin our planned future

. I talked to my heart's content and Nonso didn't interrupt, he just sat there and listened.

When I finished, he started his own talk.
"Diana, the thought of you with another man kills me, I don't know how to handle heartbreaks, most times I can get really aggressive with anyone whenever my heart gets broken", he paused and looked at me as if to ask if I was understanding him, but that was the only thing I was extremely good at, understanding people.

I think he was convinced that I understood him so he continued, "I can forgive you but the memory will linger on for a long while and that will pose a threat to our marriage, I can't unsee what I saw today Diana, you should understand".
It felt like I knew where he was driving at and I hated how it felt.
I was still in tears but he continued anyway.
"I feel like we should take a break from each other and put the wedding on hold till we get really comfortable again."
I didn't understand, were we breaking up or were we just taking time off??? I asked myself, either ways, this meant I wasn't getting married any time soon.

My mind travelled back to when Nonso cheated, it was mandatory that I forgave him, but now I did something not as sensitive as what he did and he called the wedding off! I felt angry, I felt deceived, I felt pain.
I took one long look at Nonso, he looked strong, if I wasn't with him earlier I would not be able to tell that the man sitting there shed tears few minutes ago.

I looked at him and played back his words in my head, "break, wedding on hold", I couldn't help but wonder if this has been a long time coming.

"Okay", I said and stood up, it was quite late but I was determined to go back to my apartment, I felt like Nonso just brought down my whole world.
He said we were only taking a break but something in me told me we were done.
"Bye", I picked up my bag and walked out of Nonso's house and life, and walked into blankness.
