Diary of a Girl with a Broken Heart (final chapter)

Read previous chapter.          

    

Hello Nike, how are you today? I said slowly

I'm doing great dear, you sound down what's the problem? She asked.

Hmmm!! My dear I'm so worried, Melvin hasn't called for the past 6 months he travelled to Russia. This troubles me, I chatted him up on Facebook but no reply yet I saw his recent pictures on his timeline.

Haba!! Six months it's long ooo, Nike said.

Oma please don't give yourself sleepless night of Melvin. Maybe he is very busy or he probably left you for an oyinbo (white girl).

I'm scared he shouldn't try any rubbish, I sacrificed my time, energy and lots more. I said

Oma just don't just let this trouble you, if he really loves you he would ‎call or text you soon or at least reply your chats. Take care of yourself and remember to bring the pink skirt while coming to my house the day after tomorrow. Bye dear

I kept wondering about Nike's opinion on Melvin having another girlfriend. I was soon distrupted by a beep on my phone, it's a Facebook notification from Melvin. Speak of the devil, my heart raced,  smiles covered my face and I was so happy, I quickly opened the message. As I read through the message my chest ached, I could feel the wetness on my palm as I began to shake, I cloud feel the‎ cloud of tears and soon it ran down my cheeks uncontrollably.

Oma, hope you doing great? It's been awhile we heard from each other. I'm sending this message because there is something I want you to know, where do I begin? Our relationship started on a very good n‎ote, I remember the first time I met you at the mall, my heart skipped beholding your beauty and smile.  Soon we became friends and then move ‎our friends onto having a wonderful relationship. Though the best memories I have are with you  but it saddens me to think that they will be part of the past. Guess You know what I mean, right? We need to break up. 

Heck!! here I am writing this instead of just speaking to you in person, what does that say about us? We need to break up. Our communication has been poor which is unlike us, this has been going on for a long time but the truth is while we dated I had a special woman whom I intend ‎tieing the knot with in a few months time. Due to the distance between my special woman and I at that time,  I was bored and lonely so I seeked for a companion and forunately ran into you

I admire you for your sense of humor, confidence and self esteem. You always seem so cool and in control and I look at you in awe. You are more intelligent than anyone I know and it goes beyond the normal book smarts, you have got real world common sense. Understanding people and Doing the right thing is your watch word‎, you are such a beautiful lady with a good heart. 

 Thank you for allowing me into your amazing life‎ though I feel bad having to hurt you. I believe you deserve someone better that will make you happy and stand by you through thick and thin. I am so sorry for everything and hope we could still be friends in some capacity by putting our differences aside as we continue to travel on this crazy life journey. Its all up to you to make your decision and I wont blame or judge you. Once again I just want to say thank you from my heart for everything especially  the things you taught me and opened my eyes to see things differently.  Melvin's message read.

My phone screen was soaked in tears, the tears wasn't just as a result of the text but because I became a victim the second time. This time it wasn't a mistake but a choice, the marriage pressure from home, wanting to be loved again all  were contributing factors. Please I'm only left with a question, where do broken heart go? Can I find true love‎? Can my heart be fixed? I truly need your advice.
I'm Uloma and am a girl with a broken heart.
