A LITTLE DELAY (Episode 3) By Idris Ehi



Rejection is one ache no one craves to ever experience, do you recognize how hurtful it is to be became down from having some issue or any individual you desire and love with all your heart? That’s any different diploma of heartbreak and receive as real with me when I say, no one deserves to ever experience that way cos, It’s definitely terrible!


Loveth’s reply to Peter’s relationship concept wasn’t exactly the reply he was as soon as expecting, at that moment, he could trip his coronary coronary heart being ripped from his physique and was once completely numb. Her response made him feel like a loser and failure all over again, In as a top deal as he tried to be matured about the whole problem and be given his fate, he genuinely couldn’t preserve again the feelings that sprang forth straight away afterwards.


“Why don’t you select to let me in? Just inform me so I can at least recognize why” He managed to say and Loveth felt horrific grasp that he used to be in all probability hurt, but that didn’t alternate her thinking as regards her decision. 


“You are a very pleasant and hardworking man I admit, alternatively I absolutely don’t assume I choose to go into any relationship with you” She alas said.


Peter had a difficult time believing that used to be her cause for turning him down, so he probed further.

“Is it due to the truth I don’t have adequate cash but to supply you the existence you desire?” He soberly requested and Loveth seemed into his eyes and smiled faintly.


“To be honest, that’s section of the motive why I trip it’s unwise for us to date, I’m in my late twenties and can’t go into any relationship with all of us if I can’t photo my future with you, I’m now not getting any youthful and I’m no longer going to grant myself away to any man as free lunch or for testing. A relationship with you would perhaps lead to nowhere due to the reality it’s obvious that settling down every time rapidly isn’t in your dictionary. I like you as a buddy and would simply choose us to stay that way” Loveth said.


At that point, the reason Loveth grew to become down the relationship idea used to be clear to Peter, he was once as soon as devastated and broken, however tried to suck it up as a man and be given defeat. 

“I virtually recognize all you have said, it’s all appropriate dear” He in the give up managed to say.


Their little meet up became awkward afterwards as they tried to hold away from eye contacts as they talked, It used to be time for them to leave; Peter escorted Loveth to the location she might also want to get a taxi beforehand than subsequently retiring to his non-public house.

On his way home, he used to be lost in ideas as his idea saved replaying all that passed off at the restaurant, for the first time in a prolonged while, he felt rejected and broken.

“What exactly have I completed fallacious to deserve all the matters that are going on to me? What have I not achieved to damage free from poverty? When will all this failure end? I studied as even though my life depended on it whilst still in college and bagged a first class, what once greater does this existence desires from me? I have paid my dues and labored so difficult to make positive that I succeed, but I’m nonetheless here. I’m so worn-out Lord, I be conscious of I don’t serve you sufficient like I have to however you comprehend my coronary coronary heart is constantly steadfast with you, I’m trying no longer to provide up however there’s without a doubt no encouragement to keep trying everyday. Lord, you are the fully character that hasn’t judged, ridiculed and despised me, as all people has grew to become their backs on me and don’t desire to have anything to do with me. At this point, I favor your aid and energy because I can’t proceed on my own, assist me Jesus, please assist me Lord” He soberly said to himself as he walked home.


That night time wasn’t a gorgeous one for peter due to the reality he wallowed in self pity and rejection, he used to be harm indeed and stored speaking to himself each and every now and then. On the distinct hand, Loveth wasn’t too although she felt lousy for turning him down, after a difficult emotional day, they each retired to mattress in their a range of houses.


One problem Loveth wasn’t aware of used to be that she had ignited a fire in Peter, a fireplace that would push him beyond the limits he had pushed himself in the past, the anger he was feeling was once as soon as about to be channelled towards a greater course. I agree with Loveth supposed no damage with the aid of capacity of turning him down; she used to be clearly searching out for herself first then again it’s unhappy that Peter felt relatively hurt.

Days grew to turn out to be to weeks and they hadn’t communicated with every other, Peter decided to be matured, so he called her one afternoon.

“Hello Babe” He greeted when she picked up.


“Hi dear, how are you doing?” She asked.


“I’m good, sincerely preferred to take a look at up on you” He replied. 


They talked in a similar way for a while and before they ended the call, Loveth invited him for her upcoming birthday party, Peter normal the invitation and promised to try and showcase up. They bid ‘Goodbye’ to each and every distinct earlier than ending the call.


The birthday occasion used to be once in a week’s time so Peter had ample time to prepare, he was as soon as extraordinarily busy making an attempt to get the authorities of his state to approve a challenge he had been working on that would gain the masses, If that challenge receives approved, it would alternate his story forever.


Due to the awkwardness between Loveth and himself, he refused to inform her about the ultra-modern happenings in his life. They stopped updating each and every special about the things that went on in their lives, because after the idea incident. The new venture considered promising on the other hand all Peter may want to do used to be as soon as to pray and hope that it receives approved.


The scheduled day for Loveth’s celebration finally got here and Peter arrived two hours late, Loveth used to be happy to see him and furnished him a seat shut to hers. As the birthday celebration went on, everyone appeared as even although they had been having exciting with the exception of Peter, he was having a tough time fun and solely pretended as even though all was once fine.

As the party went on, Peter located Loveth with a particular guy, the man considered beautiful and gorgeous in his pleasant outfit and the first problem Peter observed was the auto key the guy saved swinging as they conversed and Loveth regarded as even though she used to be so into him, as she used to be seen laughing at each little difficulty the man said.


That sight alone was once as soon as ample to murder Peter’s coronary heart and shut down his ability to breathe, he was once devastated inside but tried his viable first-rate to maintain a thrilled countenance. It turns out that the mysterious man Loveth used to be as soon as speakme to used to be a man her buddy introduced her to at the party.Apparently, the handsome man received here alongside with Loveth’s friend and she hooked them up when they both proven interest for every other.


All might also appear remarkable from the outdoor when you appear to be at them, however the truth used to be indeed a horrifying one. The man in query was once once a broke man that lived a fake lavish lifestyle, each auto he drove belonged to his pals and the massive mansion he lived in was once as soon as owned with the useful resource of a buddy of his that stays abroad, but no one knew his secrets without himself and his buddies that usually lend their automobiles to him, this man was once once to die for and no one would ever be given as true with he was once as soon as struggling and broke.


Unable to bear the heartbreaking sight of Loveth getting comfy with any different man, Peter walked up to her, gave her a current and bid her goodbye. Loveth thanked him for coming and gave him a best hug as Peter walked away and headed home afterwards.


Loveth and this mysterious guy whose identify is ‘Stephen’ talked for a long while before than she popped the ‘Occupation’ question.


“What do you do?” She asked smiling.


Stephen licked his lips, appeared into her eyes and noted “I’m a Lawyer!”
