They told me to move on.
“Three years is too long,” my mother said.
“He’s gone,” my friends insisted.
But I refused.
I believed he would come back.
Until one afternoon at the market…
I saw him.
Alive.
Laughing.
Holding a little boy.
And beside him… another woman.
My heart stopped.
I followed them quietly, my hands trembling.
When he turned and saw me, his smile disappeared.
“Amaka…” he whispered.
I slapped him.
“Where have you been?” I cried.
He couldn’t answer.
The woman stepped forward.
“Who is she?”
He stayed silent.
That silence told me everything.
I waited three years for a man who had already replaced me.
