She placed a call across to her friend, Zhang Min as soon as she got home. She needed someone to talk to, Min was her only friend in Country B.
They had been friends since they were little, They've always had each other's back as best friends would do.
"Hello, Min. please can you show up at my house I really do need you here now," Fang spoke as soon as the call went through.
From the way she sounded, the person on the other side of the phone could easily tell everything was not alright with her.
"Why are you sounding this way, is anything the matter?" She asked over the phone.
"I need you at my place before the unusual of me takes place," Fang responded a bit threatening.
On hearing that from Fang, Zhang Min quickly end the call, rushed out of her house, and got a cab to Fang's house.
On getting to Fang's, she met her friend in a state that had already succeeded in telling her she was suffering from heartbreak.
"Fang? why are you looking this way?" Fang Asked.
"How I'm I supposed to look when what I never expected just hit me like a bomb?" Fang said, amidst tears.
"You sounded so much like your life was at stake. What's up with you?"
"Min, I just realized I've been in a relationship that I've been dating myself all this while."
"How do u mean?"
"I broke up with him."
"You did what!? ...Why did you have to do that?"
"Min, he had always wanted it and has been pretending all this while. I saw no reason why I should be deceiving myself knowing full well that he was no longer interested."
"Did he say he was no longer interested?"
"He didn't have to say it to my face, but his actions already said it. Even when I told him I was done with him, he didn't say much."
"You know what, I still don't seem to get what you're saying. I mean, what did he ever do to deserve a breakup from you. I thought you two were getting on well, why the sudden change?"
"Min, it may interest you to know that Li Wei had been cheating on me all along. I knew about it but just didn't want to say anything to you.
I was still trying to come to terms with telling you that Li Wei we both thoughts was a saint could do that. I just couldn't think of a better way to tell you, so I opted for silence instead.
" Ooh my goodness, for how long have you found out he was cheating?"
"For a month now, I got to suspect it from the way he sometimes excused himself to answer some calls from females. I then took a drastic action into discovering more about his calls, I discovered he had been dating even before we met."
"Like seriously, are you for real!? this is really unbelievable. Men could be so unpredictable! Talking about Wei being overprotective and having trust issues is what I see as normal in a relationship, but what I don't really get is him approaching you when he already had a girlfriend, thereafter cheating on you!" Min Said in utter Disbelief.
"Well, I think this happened at the right time if it had not occurred maybe I would not have known who really he was."
"Fang, for how long, have you known he was cheating and why did you decide to keep it away from me your best friend?"
"It's been up to three weeks now, and I saw no reason to have let you known before now. I actually thought he would change, little did I know he was going to get worse."
"Can you just listen to yourself, how could you even think of him changing when you never confronted him regarding all that he was doing?" She asked rhetorically.
"You know what Fang, it really baffles me to know that you of all people could ever imagine such a quick change from a cheat and phony like Wei.
I actually saw this coming, you remember the day I told you that guy isn't genuine? and what was your reaction??..you did scorn my words. And then I said to myself never to say anything about that Wei of a guy."
Zhang Min had actually warned Wang Fang about Wei even before she got to date him, but Fang who had failed to see reasons with her friend. She had rather prefer to give Wei space in her life.
"I guess I was not smart enough to not have seen all these coming. I'm really so sorry for not listening to you in the first place, I was just moved by his sweet utterances and composure that had blinded me from seeing the other side of him."
Of a truth, with the way Wei dresses, talks, and composed himself.. any good lady could hardly turn him down. He was so heart stolen and that had always made him have his ways with any woman of his choice.
Wang Fang was the only lady that really was a huge challenge to Li Wei, which had made him persist in getting her by all means.
He never liked any woman the way he liked Wang Fang, maybe his love for her was as a result of the stress he had undergone while trying to get her as his girlfriend.
Fang was the only lady that had stressed him, every other lady had been easy to get and some even crave for his compliments on them.
"I'm really happy this happened for you to learn your lessons, I initially expected you to learn from my own past mistakes, but I think one's experience is the best teacher and you've learned from your own experience, I'm glad."
"I've been fooling myself all these while, if only I had listened to you, this heartbreak would bit have found it's way to my life."
"Yes, you were just being carried away by his good looks and sweet words, dearest Friend!"
Min Said Mockingly.
"It was never meant to be, it just happened for some reason best known to nature. I sure will get over it within a short space of time!"
Fang Assured herself.
"That's it, my dear, just forget about everything that you both had, the best will come your way. This isn't the end of the world for you.
Things happened for a purpose, I'm sure this break up has occurred for some good reasons.
This could actually pave way for a better man to come your way, you know?" Zhang Min encouraged her friend.
" I know, Thanks for your words of
encouragement. I'm really blessed having you as my friend, you're truly a Sky Father's sent." Wang Fang thanked her Friend
