"…I think I have stayed too long under the umbrella of that so-called affection I use to have for you. Truth is, I really don't love you anymore. I have been thinking about how to put this to you. But I just couldn't figure it out. I really don't think we can still continue this relationship dear. Perhaps it's time for us to go our separate ways!"

These were the selfsame words that came out from Gideon's mouth on that very day . He had concluded that a break-up would be the best gift he would offer Asante on her birthday.

"What! Baby, what's happening? What's wrong? Talk to me nah?" Asante said as she was very confused as to where the sudden break-upish was coming from.

Gideon straightened his face as he stood up from the beautiful piece of chair, and started adjusting his pocket filler in his nicely sewn suit. He simply ignored her questions, as he gestured with his hands telling her that he was about to leave. 

"You mean to tell me that you have never loved me all these while or what? The times we have spent together and all?" Asante said, with her voice now vibrating in anger and as tears gushed out from her eyes. 

Asante had lost hold of herself. She couldn't believe Gideon had brought her all the way for a dinner date, in a public place, on her birthday, just to break up with her.

. Worse of all, she had no idea why he was leaving the relationship. 

"Hey! Keep calm." Gideon finally said as he tried to calm her down, so as not to further arouse the attention of other well-to-do couples who came for a date also in the restaurant.

"Please don't get me wrong. Or better still, don't get it twisted or take it to heart like that. It's not really as if I don't love you anymore or something. I do. I love you, but I am kinda no longer in love with you." Gideon said breaking the silence that he had fought for just a few seconds ago.

The statement was so complicated that, Asante had to off her heels so she could be comfortable and probably comprehend fully the gibberish he was saying.

"Gideon why are you doing this to me? Why are you so complicated? What's you love me but not in love with me? Why are you this heartless?" Asante said as she began to sob gently, yelling the last statement so hard that some other couples having a seemingly good time had to look at their direction.

"See babe, you are causing unnecessary attention here. You are creating a scene already" Gideon said raising his voice a little higher this time around.

"What's so difficult here for you to understand? I say I am not in love with you na. I am not doing again. Do you have to start displaying childishness here cause of this little ish? Abeggi jare." Gideon added as he stormed out of the restaurant with his sparkling shoes leading the way. He left Asante behind and she couldn't believe her eyes.

Asante's eyes popped out in amazement and confusion as she watched Gideon leaving.

"Three Years? Ah!  No! This must be a dream or something" She screamed out gesturing with three of her fingers, using one for each year he spent with Gideon. As she tried to make another statement, she could no longer hear herself as she slowly fell back to the chair she had sat on, then finally fall down.

Some of the other couples around couldn't help this time but rush to where she was for aid.

After suffering two massive heart breaks, Asante thought meeting Gideon was her final bus stop. Unfortunately for her, it would just be one of the incredible series.

Could it be that Asante had a problem managing men or is it that some men are just too wicked? Well, we will find out soon.
