The next day the lawyer was called,to make chioma sign all the necessary documents ,that she is not part of kelechi’s properties or site,after all of the signing and writing, kelechi did not even look at chioma twice he quickly brought out a divorce letter and told her to sign it, chioma was really heart broken ,that she broke down in tears.

“My husband please am sorry,and please forgive me for all the wickedness have done to you,I have regretted all my actions cause I was greedy,and I wanted your whole properties for myself,I never look at what will be my gain in the future,I over looked it and do my wants,but now here I am with nothing at hand,my mother is dead because of this”,

chioma said while crying her eyes out ,she has become her own shadow of herself,just for one day chioma had grown lean cause of thinking and regret, she quickly hold kelechi’s trouser, begging him to forgive her even if they can’t be together,and she can’t live with him cause she won’t be able to look him in the eyes, kelechi felt pity for her,since he was a gentleman and a cool type,and he do not want anything to happen to his fellow human,he hold her by her shoulder and pulled her up from the ground,her eyes has gone inside when he looked at her face,she was eaten by her own fears and regret,he spoke to her in a thick but calm voice.

“Chioma ,for all the times have been with you,have I for once hurt you in any way,have I treated you badly,I gave you all you wanted,even if I don’t have it at that instant but I always promise to fulfil what you requested from me in a few days time,I never wanted you to suffer and I gave you all the love I had for you,but you treated me bad,you planned with my friend and your mother to kill me just for my properties,you had a secret affairs with my best friend,and still come back to me as if nothing is the problem,God knows all what I have in my heart for you,he looked at his son who is faithful to his wife that’s why he let me came back to pick something that is not relevant in the house that morning,if not I won’t stand to talk by now,would have been dead,and when people asked how I died,you and your accomplice will say I fell ill and died,but my God do not want my enemies to eat and drink over my head”,he said all this shaking her by her shoulder ,while pouring at his heart to her,which made chioma shiver in fear with goosebumps all over her body,that instant she felt like the ground should open up for her so she could be covered by the earth itself ,but nothing like that happen,she heard and felt it deep in her soul as kelechi spoke with pains from his heart.

She took the pen and signed the divorce papers,and the lawyer who was an eye witness signed that he approved the letter,chioma walked quickly as her legs could carry her away from the office, bowing her head as she walked with tears both dried and wet pouring from her eyes.

Kelechi felt and thought that if he could collect everything from her and nothing left for her,how will she survive now that she is left with nothing,and he won’t want to hear she died ,even if they are not together anymore,at least she should have something to use in feeding herself,he then quickly ran out from the lawyer office,he met chioma about to enter a cab,he quickly called her name and stopped her not to go,chioma was panicking if he has come again to arrest her or do worst to her, cause she knows she deserved any punishment from him,but she still cherished her life.

“Chioma wait”, kelechi called,as he ran to meet with chioma his now ex wife.

Chioma told the cab man,to wait a minute so she could talk to the man talking to her,which he nodded and stopped the car, turning it off.

“Yes,is there any thing else I could do”,

she said with fear in her voice,while trying to doudge the eye contact kelechi was trying to make,

“Ermmm not really,just that I came back to tell you have forgiven you for all what you have done to me,well to me it might happen to someone else or anybody,no man is righteous in this world,but we don’t have to let the things of the world to drive us from God presence,if not we fall into the trap of the devil,and regret our actions later in life”, kelechi spoke while chioma for the first time looked at the good man before her,and how she is about to miss him,and realized that she really threw away the hand that feed her,now she has realised that things of the world is just vanity, someone might fight for houses,lands , company and so on,but one can’t take it to the grave,it’s all perish here on Earth.

As she was thinking while looking at kelechi empty minded that she forgot herself that he was still talking to her,kelechi snapped her from her small thought and told her the thing she could ever believe could come out from kelechi’s mouth.

“Chioma I have transferred a sum of 500 hundred thousand naira in your account,so you could sets up a small business for yourself,I still care about you and I don’t want you to suffer,tho we can’t be husband and wife,but we could still be friends and nothing more,the space in front of my other house,you could open up a shop there and start your business,from there you could save to have your own shop,if you want,you can stay there as long as you want till you are ok”,

kelechi said with happiness in his face smilling a little,but not too look as if he is mocking or laughing at her.

Chioma quickly knelt down and thanked kelechi for his kind favour,even if she can’t be his wife any more,but she has surely learnt from her mistakes,and she will live to tell it out to young girls,so they won’t make a mistake of hurting themselves in their future cause of greediness, selfishness.

Chioma accepted the money,but she refused to accept the shop in the house side,she thanked kelechi and wave him her last good bye,then she entered the cab and the driver took off.

That was the end kelechi ever sets his eyes on chioma his ex wife,he later heard she left the town to another place,after her mother was buried and few people attended the burial,he just sents his condolences to chioma,and some cash again,and after that he heard that ,she had got someone who wants to marry her,he prayed she should really changed for good.

Six to seven months later, kelechi has been watching a young beautiful lady in his company, named Amarachi ,or Amara for short,she was beautiful with a white sets of teeth,that shines any time she smiles,she was a little curvy ,and not so busty ,but she was a taste any man could ever wants. Kelechi planned that he will take her out for a date to one of the best restaurant in that estate,but he planned to take his time,this time around not to rush into things,he spoke with Amara after closing hours at work,and she accepted the offer of going out on a date with him.

From there their love story began,four months later he got Amara engaged ,and she on the other hand worshipped him with respect and love as a good woman she was, three months later they got married,not up to two months of their marriage Amara was pregnant for kelechi,his joy knew no bounds. The two lived happily ever after.
