I Listened To Your Advice

Lanre asked the lady to continue. The lady told Lanre how she had come for a makeover. And Lanre had attended to her despite the fact that she made a scene. She told Lanre that she recalled how Lanre had advised her not to force things. And that of her husband has chosen to keep cheating it was no longer a mistake but a hobby. And she should not try to please such a man because such a man cannot be pleased.

“I listened to your advised. That day he treated me well because of the makeover. But he still continued to go out with other women. That was when I thought you could be right. I used the products you sold to me though. But I made sure it was not to please him. I started taking care of myself. I stopped crying and stopped complaining about the way he treated me. I gave him the space he needed. In total, I stopped trying for him. He got scared and thought I was going to file for a divorce. He threatened me that if that was my plan, he would not share his property with me. Guess what?” The woman said to Lanre looking excited.

Lanre flashed her a smile that did not last a for five seconds. She asked the woman what, telling her she was bad at guessing.

“He got scammed by one of his bitches and had to fall back to me. I gave him the same measure of medicine he gave me. But mine was a higher quality. He told I was a stupid woman. I continued ignoring him. And I made sure to feign ignorance of his presence wherever he was at home. He started begging. But I left him at that point in his life. He had nothing to give me, but I felt fulfilled seeing him fall. He didn’t get completely wrecked. But seeing him at a very low state, even though I didn’t cause him that, I felt happy. I feel like thanking the woman who ruined him. And you know what, I have been seeing this really nice man. I feel free with him. I know people will say I am too old for that because I am over forty. But I do not care. The man adores me. And I feel my actual worth around him. I do not need to please him. In conclusion miss Lanre, I have been living freely thanks to you. I do not try so hard to please anyone”. The woman said.

Lanre didn’t know what to say to the woman. But then she felt the woman must have had some courage to have gone through this. But she still doubts she had given the woman any serious advice to have made the woman come to thank her.

“I do not know what to say ma. I really do not even think I deserve your appreciation. But all the same, thank you ma for acknowledging me”. Lanre said.
