PARADIGM WITH RYGLES: Just Another Day ( Short Story)

JUST ANOTHER DAY

I feel unsettled today, and the weather apparently agrees with me. As I sit here and look into Bogum's eyes, I know it, deep down inside of me that he is going to break up with me.

"It's okay, you can say whatever you want to say, I don't bite," Bogum smiles nervously. That smile that was about to wreck me completely, that smile I once thought beautiful. In a false state of equanimity, I urge him to talk to me. His lips are moving but I can't hear a single word, why? I need my heart to stop pounding so fast, I say to myself as I try to be sagacious.

"I'm sorry, what did you say? I was preoccupied."
Bogum looks discouraged, "I haven't been honest with you about something, I've tried several times, but there wasn't a good time, I'm not trying to be a nuisance but I'm really trying to be courageous right now," he takes a deep breath, drinks a glass of water and stares at me. "There's no way to say this kindly, let's break up."

I burst out laughing, not that sweet laughter but like that of a crazy woman. I get up and smile at him, "Okay, have a nice life!" I turn to walk out, away from him before I do something embarrassing like cry.

"That's it? Okay? Have a nice life?" Bogum screams at me. "Four years of our lives and you say okay???? This is why I'm breaking up with you, you are like a robot! No emotions, just a piece of body suit. Are you even human?" He bursts out in tears, and my heart breaks into pieces. Is this what I am now? Someone who takes every good thing from a man and turns him into a mumbling mess?

 As I walk back to him, ignoring the crowd we have drawn our way, I whisper to him, "Simply because there are no tears in my eyes, it doesn't mean I don't cry. Just because I don't say the words you want to hear doesn't mean I loved you less, you have never understood me. I hope Tosin gives you everything you want, you should have been a man and be upfront with me. Cheating on me? That's just cliché," I turn and walk out of the Restaurant.

Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process.

It is a mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac
