My girlfriend got a new phone and gave me the old one she was using. Both were iPhones. The one she got was the latest. She told me it was a schoolmate abroad who got it for her as a belated birthday gift.
She got a new Smart TV. She moved from her old place to rent another place. I didn't ask where the money was coming from but she sought to explain it herself. With the new accommodation, she told me she had been promoted at work and was given a salary advance to be able to rent that new place.
And then she got a car. All of a sudden something didn't feel right. She told me the car was an official car but deductions would be made from her salary until she pays it off. There were no signs of any foul play. I checked her phone, I went to visit unannounced. I called randomly but nothing showed she was cheating so I relaxed.
One evening she was supposed to visit me. I prepared for her. I laid my bed and kept my room clean. I placed things where they were supposed to be. Just when I was about to enter the bathroom to take my bath, she called; "Rain check. My mom called. She said I should come home as soon as possible."
I was disappointed but there was nothing I could do. I bathed, fell into my bed but couldn't sleep. A lot of thoughts ran through my head. I got up, put a shirt on, and headed for her place. I didn't know what to expect but I went all the same.
I knocked on her door and her voice came out, "Who is that?"
Immediately I mentioned it was me, she came running. She whispered, "What are you doing here?" The next moment she was begging me not to make a noise because she had a visitor.
"What visitor? At this time of the night? You told me...."
"I told you what? Where do you think I get all these from? Please don't come and mess up my life. Go, we'll talk."
She left me at the door and that was it. I couldn't shout. I couldn't knock. I couldn't do anything but leave. I didn't go far. I was around until around 1am when the man was leaving. I saw his face. A man everyone knew because his posters are hanging around town. He's contesting to become an MP.
When he was gone, I went in. She said, "No time to talk plenty. You can decide to leave me since you've seen the truth."
This happened three days ago. I don't know whether I'm leaving or staying. It's hard the way I found out. It hurts so bad but I'm hanging in here until I know where next to go.
