She made breakfast ready for him and
quickly went to get herself prepared for
work
as soon as she was done. she was dressing
up while Ben got ready for work.
Judith: ‘Good morning’ she said as soon as
he came downstairs to have his breakfast.
Benicio: ‘ Good Morning Judith’ he replied,
how was your night?
Judith: it was fine. Hope you are ready for
work? I have your lunch packed for you, it’s
in your car already.
Benicio: ‘Thanks Judith’ he said as he ate
his breakfast.
Judith: I have been wanting to ask you this
question Ben, when you coming to see my
people?
Benicio: when did I say I want to get
married with you?
Judith: but you said you want to get married
to me as soon as we get to know each
other
Benicio: ‘Oh I did!’ He said nonchalantly.
Judith: What do you mean Oh did you? Don’t
you want to get married to me again?
Benicio: Dropped his spoon on his plate with
anger ‘don’t you want me to eat this food in
peace?
Judith: Don’t you want us to get married?
Benicio: Oh Judith! Please stop already; I do
not want to talk about this please, let me
eat my food in peace and go to work.
Judith: but when you asked me out you said
you were coming for marriage and nothing
else, how come you do not want to talk
about marriage again?
Benicio: Fine, since you want to know the
truth here it is. Judith, you are a nice and
domesticated lady but I cannot marry you.
Judith: You what?
Benicio: I said I cannot marry you.
Judith: We have been together for five
months now, you have been promising me
marriage and now you say you cannot marry
me? Why if I may ask?
Benicio: Ermmm because you lack some of
the qualities I need in a woman
Judith: What qualities do you need in a
woman that you desire so much I don’t
have?
Benicio: You have every other quality except
one which I desire in my wife to be.
Judith: Which is?
Benicio: You are not a graduate, you haven’t
passed through the four walls of higher
institution and I can’t marry a woman who
isn’t a graduate.
Judith: What! Five months ago, I was the
woman you wanted to spend the rest of
your
life with, didn’t you know I was not a
graduate when you came chasing me?
Benicio: I didn’t.
Judith: And why didn’t you tell me you can’t
marry me instead of wasting my time when
you found out?
Benicio: Because I thought I could accept
you like that but it just dawned on me that I
can’t accept you the way you are.
Judith: Seriously Ben, you used me, wasted
my time and now you have the guts to say
you cannot marry me?
Benicio: I am so sorry.
Judith: ‘May God forgive you. Let me get my
stuff in your room and be gone away from
your life’ she stood up, walked to the room
she shared with him, packed all her
belongings and left his house leaving him to
continue with his meal.
