CRUSHED

It's been two years Sam left without saying goodbye, not a word since then, no calls or text... flash back to our wedding day, the day I taught finally I was going to be complete, finally getting married to the one I thought was mine... Yes they say everything is fair in love and war... Am not so sure....

It all began one faithful morning I was heading back home from class, had a hectic day, I couldn't just wait to get home and eat that jollof rice my roommate claimed she had prepared specially for me, anyway yes I was thinking about the jollof rice and then he passed, I suddenly felt refreshed, don't get me wrong am not a believer of love at first sight but this guy , well I couldn't say what it was about him but I saw myself adjusting my very long skirt and trying to fix a smile on my tired face, I suddenly forgot my walking step, I was so uncomfortable...I guess he noticed cause he glanced back with a smile, hello? Am Sam! What's your name? My name is Nancy, I replied; trying to act as though I wasn't interested, can I walk you down? He said... You don't even know where am headed to, how can you walk me down, I replied , almost slapping my attitude from within,.. I'd walk you down to wherever you're going to, I can see you need company, he said... Now am filled with joy but still have to keep calm... alright then, if you insist!
And that was it, a long time friendship was borne, Sam not only walked me home that day but he also partook in my roommate's jollof rice, lol, yes he did...and while eating he told jokes ,I couldn't help but like him more...maybe this is that guy I've been waiting for, I taught within myself....
What can I say? I was just in my 200lvl in college studying banking and finance and he was already in his 300lvl studying computer engineering...all was well in my life as far as I was concerned, I just couldn't wait to hasten this friendship into a relationship...

6months later... Sam and I were closer than usual,we started dating not long after that and we were the talk of everyone in our respective hostels... We could be seen reading together, going to school together and virtually doing everyother thing together, it was the best relationship I've had in a very long time and I could already picture him as my husband, the only prayer I had was for it to last long enough till he popped the question... I've always thought of Sam as the best husband one could have, he doesn't smoke, no drinks and had no bad vices and far as I've known ...or so I taught

One sunny afternoon, I decided to give my boyfriend a surprise visit, as I've unknowingly taken one of his spare keys just for this moment, it was a special day after all, it was our 1year anniversary...I got to Sam's room, his gen was on... I smiled! He probably knew I was coming so there was no need to knock, I forced my way into his room and to my utmost amazement I saw what I wish I could unsee ...Sam was on bed with someone else, I felt my insides pave way for whatever was coming out but I just couldn't explain what I was seeing, my Sam...was on the bed with who? My beloved, cherished , roommate, ...on our anniversary! I stood still for a moment, trying to gasp air...my eyes weren't deceiving me, it was Sam and jennifer! How could they do this to me?... I stormed out of the room feeling as confused as ever...
