Emeka was confused, he didn't know how to tell her that he had  poisoned the juice and

 that he was about to take his own life...

He looks at her apprehensively...

she was laughing still, unknown to her that she was about to visit her maker. 

"Please don't drink it there's more inside the house you can take from there and drink to your fill,

please Tosin don't" He pleaded.

"Emeka I don't understand! why are you
 begging me because of this glass, why not
 get another one for yourself, 

I want this one". She replied, raising the 
glass into her mouth

“Arrrggggh!” She shrieked.

Glass shatters…

Emeka had pushed the glass from her hand and it spilled leaving the shattered pieces of glass strewed on the floor and her dress 
smeared with juice.

"Emeka what have you done?"

as she looked at her clothes, not knowing
 whether to be mad or sad…

"Tosin I’m really sorry” he apologized as he
 tries to clean her dress with his hands.

“leave me alone” she says flinging his hands from her dress . What was that for, why did you push the glass?”

“you won't understand"

"understand what Emeka, what is it that you can't share?" 

"The juice was poisoned, I wanted to end it
 all", he shrieked in pain.

Immediately, he fell on his kneels and 
started crying bitterly.

“poison!” she echoed with her eyes wide
 open, startled at the fact that she would
 have killed herself with her own hands.

“But why?”  she asks

 "I should be asking you that, why did you
 decide to come today at the eleventh hour? why didn't you come two minutes later, you spoilt everything” he  blunted out angrily.

Tosin couldn't believe her eyes, this was her youth president crying like a little child... 

"Emeka, why would you attempt suicide, for what reason?"

"Hani left me, her wedding is around the
 corner, i can't take it, I can’t”

"Oh my world!
I’ve been wondering what was the reason
 behind the sudden change in your countenance because you are far from what you 
used to be,

 even though you try to deceive everyone
 with your false smile. 

Hence i took it upon myself to check on you today,

 nevertheless Its okay, everything will be
 fine just calm down, there's more to life 
than relationship”  she encouraged him.

"Don't tell me to calm down” He replied 
angrily

“you don't even know how it feels like to be betrayed by the person you love the most, 
not to talk of when the person has been with you for over five years whom you share 
everything with,

 only to walk away all of a sudden without
 any tangible explanation,

I can't take it, why I'm I even talking to you when you don't even know what it means 
like to be in love with someone"

Tosin couldn't stop tears from flowing through her eyes, she was never bothered about
 her not being able to like any of the men 
approaching her but this got to her,

"did he have to rob it on my face…?" She thought to herself.

     It dawned on Emeka that he had crossed his limit..

 "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that...please" Emeka apologized. 

Tosin bent down and said to him; 

"I may not know what it means like to be in
 love with someone but I know what it 
means to love and value people

. I'm not 
angry with you, at least not in this state...

nothing justifies your act for attempting 
suicide, there are better days ahead.

 By the way, the Lord led me here, I didn't
 plan visiting you today, now I know why i
 came. 

Remember how you pray and encourage 
people during their hard times, its high time you said those words to yourself.

 Its an error to trust God for people's issues and doubt him when it comes to your life
 issues.

 I have to leave now, do well to call me 
anytime you need anything or an ear to 
speak to, I will be here for you..." She said.

as she was leaving, Emeka said to her,

"Are you serious about standing by me
 anytime I call on you?”

"yes I am, you are my friend and what are
 friends for if not for times like this" Tosin 
replied

"Marry me Tosin" 

“What!”
