The Letdown Marriage.

Once Abimbola is done displaying her goods every morning, a cute young man with dreads on his head comes to buy a particular digestive biscuits. Each day, this young man buys close to half carton of the digestive biscuits.

The unique thing about this man is his scent. He uses a particular perfume that caught the attention of Abimbola and when she was about to start her perfume business, she exchanged contacts with the handsome man.

Hello, I’m about to start my online perfume business and I would love us to exchange contacts so that one day, you will patronize me, elatedly, this young man stretched his phone towards Abimbola. She put in her phone number and saved the contact immediately.

You can save my number as Akinwale. That’s my name, the friendship of Abimbola and Akinwale started right on that spot and every night, they talk on phone for couple of minutes before going to bed just as new friends would do.

It didn’t stop here, Akinwale began to come close and then, it was crystal clear that all he wanted from Abimbola wasn’t just friendship. Then, they decided to hang out but Abimbola who’s feeling uncomfortable around him insists that they both link up in her apartment. On a Sunday evening, they both linked up at Abimbola’s home and on getting there, he handed to her a yellow nylon written on it “justrite”, a popular mall in the area.
In the nylon, it consists of sanitary pads, tissue papers, perfumes, chocolates and so much more.

These gifts do not look like it’s for a female friend alone. Going down to sanitary pads means that there is more to it, Abimbola said to Akinwale and he seized the beautiful moment and had the opportunity to profess his love to her.
That’s how the digestive biscuits customer is gradually becoming his customer’s boyfriend.

The gifts started coming in almost everyday. From perfumes, to muffins, to phone pouches and all other things that male lovers buy for their women. Abimbola, a single lady in her soft girl’s era could have easily said yes to Akinwale so that their love lives will begin but no. She kept taking a close look to Akinwale. Yes, men may be sweet and romantic but he was too good to be true.

Despite the fact that Akinwale has his job as well, he goes to pick her up in the morning and drops her at work. At night, he does the same thing. Calls almost every minute, send breakfast, lunch and buys her food before dropping her at home at night.
Abimbola has never experienced such love or relationship before and that’s why she became more wary of Akinwale.

What if he wants something else from me? He’s just so good to be true, here’s a text message Abimbola sent to her best friend and to know what exactly Akinwale wanted, these ladies initiated a plan.

To make this plan work, Abimbola needs to act like she had already fallen for Akinwale and she did. One night, they both went to a restaurant as usual but this time, the vibe was different. There was love in the air, slow music and everything was just so good and perfect for the moment.

Akinwale, can I have your phone so I’ll use it to take videos of this beautiful moment, out of happiness, Akinwale handed over the phone to her.
After taking series of pictures with the phone, Abimbola headed to his WhatsApp to check his messages while acting like she was still taking pictures with the phone.

I’m sure she will agree to being my girlfriend and wife. She’s not a rich girl and I know she’s freaked by my money. I just can’t wait to get married to her so my dad can hand over my properties to me and later, I’ll file for a divorce, Abimbola found what she was looking for.

I said it! I said something is fishy, out of anger, she yelled. She walked out on Akinwale and boarded a bus to her house. She thanked her instinct for hinting her almost all the time that there was something about Akinwale and she finally found that thing which has been making her uncomfortable around Akinwale.

Eventually, Akinwale’s plan to have a short time marriage with Abimbola didn’t work. He stopped going to her store to buy his regular digestive biscuits while Abimbola went back to her old ways of boarding buses while going and coming back home from her workplace.
