Jake shifted his gaze from Sam to Eva in despair, he has never encountered such a couple before.
And if anyone told him he’s going to be here today doing this with his own bossom friends whom are the best couple he has ever came across, he would give that person a smack.
He adjusted his tie which has suddenly tightened around his neck and repeated for the up tenth time, “Are you sure you are ready to divorce?”
“Jake, if you aren’t my friend, I would have called you a dummy and am sorry I must say, you are really a dumbass!” Sam retorted glaring at the barrister.
“Hey! Watch it, Sam!! You are in my office and the only thing I won’t take from you is insult, okay?!!!” Jake said angrily pointing a warning finger at him.
He has already been angry with him from the very moment his wife came into his office yesterday to plead him for marriage counsel because he (Sam) is misbehaving and now he’s talking about divorce.
What he doesn’t understand is what would actually make Sam want to divorce his wife, she’s the best thing that would ever happen to his friend and if he gets a chance, he will remarry her.
Now, he recalls the saying that no one ever knows what they have until they lose it but he prays Sam never loses this very jewel.
“See, Jake, if divorce is what he really wants, fine, get the papers ready and save yourself the stress of trying to repair a broken glass” Eva said calmly.
This isn’t as easy for her as she’s saying it, Jake noticed and felt sad for her, Sam is hurting this lady for no reason, no tangible reason at all.
“Beautiful! Did you hear that? This is actually the most sensible thing she has said ever since I married her, I love this!!” Sam humphed snapping his fingers.
“I just hope you won’t regret this” Jake said and folded his hands on his desk.
“Regret what exactly, divorcing her?” Sam snorted before fuming, “get straight and do your job because am tired of this woman and her nags!”
“Oh wow! I am the one who isn’t tired of your entire nonsense attitude, right?!! Now when I think about it, I feel you must have used charms on me to marry you in the first place!!!” Eva returned furiously.
“You should simply say that’s what you did to me that made me fall prey to a Jezebel like you, unfortunately for you, the charms aren’t working anymore!!” Sam rebuffed.
“Please, Sam and Eva, listen to me and let’s get over with this because I have other people to attend to” Jake called their attention and opened a file in front of him.
“Then, be fast about this, everyone here has work and time is money” Sam stated flatly.
Jake gave his friend a dirty look before facing the file in front of him again. “Sam, do you know this decision is going to affect your kids both emotionally and psychologically?” he indicated significantly.
“I…I know, I have thought about it thoroughly and I know how to handle my kids and repair damages if eventually any of what you mentioned surfaces” Sam explained curtly.
“Are you also aware that this calls for splitting of property and those kids and your soon to be ex-wife will make first choice” Jake emphasized.
“No way! This woman came into my house with absolutely nothing and she leaves with nothing, not even any of my kids!!” Sam snapped hitting Jake’s desk.
“Wow, imagine, as if they aren’t my kids as well, Jake, don’t worry about sharing his property, I was doing great even before I married him on my own, I can still manage and about my children, let me save my words until when he touches me if I try to take anyone of them” Eva specified.
“If that’s the case, then I will get the papers ready and you guys have to read this agreement and reach on it before coming back to sign the papers” Jake said and handed them each a slip of divorce agreement papers.
“I hope getting the papers ready won’t take you decades because the sight of this woman irritates me” Sam snorted and went on his full height.
“The sight of you even irritates me more and I wish we are already divorced!” Eva bolted and gave Jake’s desk a slam that sent the doc-ments and other lightweighted items on the table flying.
Sam has really pushed her and her anger crossed her eyes when she stood up and pointed a finger to his face, “I hate you for this!” she scoffed.
Jake’s cheeks rose in amusement, he knew she’s saying that out of anger and she can’t be blamed, he already hates Sam for causing this woman pain in the first place no matter what the problem was.
“I know and that’s why we are here for a divorce since we hate each other, excuse me” Sam blurted and walked out of the office.
“Are you okay, Eva?” Jake asked her worriedly.
“Am fine, thanks” she replied quietly and went out in low spirit.

How can this be happening to me?
A marriage I have built for eight years? How can it crumble like this?
I am very depressed, I left Jake’s office with a broken heart because I didn’t expect the counselling to end this way.
My name is Evon Godson, thirty one years old. Am a Yoruba and people choose to call me Eva.
There are no much information about me and the little there is, I promise you, you will find out in this story bit by bit.
Sometimes, when I tell people that Sam is the only person I have, they don’t agree because of the kind of love and affection he has been showering on me which made me forget my family.
I have my elder step sister whom is busy with her own family and my best friend whose wedding I am planning because am a wedding planner.
I love Sam with all my heart and I know he does love me too, he still has a soft s₱0t for me covered in his arrogancy.
I don’t know if he’s serious about us getting a divorce but I know he still loves me and am not going to let our marriage head for the rocks, I will only pretend to go with it and get my man back.
I know Jake and I trust what he has written in the divorce agreement paper, even if it doesn’t work, I know he will find another way to help me.
When I got outside, Sam is still waiting for me in front of his car, I had thought he would drive out of anger but as stubborn as he is, the man I married eight years ago is still there.
“Are you going to keep standing there? I don’t have the time in the wh0le world to wait here under this hot sun, get in and let’s go!” he said when I stood and watched him.
“Go, I will get a cab” I blubbed and turned to go.
“Imagine, didn’t I know that while I was waiting? Don’t stress me oo, get into the car and let’s go home” he said and opened the car’s door for me.
I gave him a stern look before I got into the car, I know getting a cab by that time of the day in such a harsh weather will be hærd and I might end up suffering myself in the process of hurting him.
“Why did you say I have no right to my children?” I asked after some minutes of silent drive.
“Before nko? I am the one that suffered in the bed room, the only thing you do is relax and take all the pleasure, mtcheew!” he hissed and sped off.
“Hahaha! Oh really? You want to use that as an excuse right? How about the times that I get in control? Anyways, there’s no point arguing with you while you already know I will win” I whined.
“You are backing out because you know you will loose, do I look dumb to you?” he mocked.
“I know, and for pete’s sake I still want to live, drive like a normal human being” I said and though he’s still clothed in arrogance and stubornness, he started driving more slowly.
“Who knows what the divorce agreement will look like” That’s more like a statement from a man that has been clenching his chin.
“Getting cold feet, Mr. Samuel Ezeh?” I stressed rolling my tongue in my mouth and batting my lashes at him.
“Who said so?” he pretended and avoided my eyes, well….. I love this battle and I will see that he never thinks of something like this if he gets out of this one alive.
Haha….he started it and I will keep adding kero until he ends it himself, he should have thought about another word to scare me with instead of divorce.
🌷 SAMUEL 🌷
Yeah, I think am getting a cold feet because I know my life doesn’t exist without her in it and I should start putting an end to this divorce of a thing but I also know it’s the best avenue to recover our marriage back.
The battle just began, no retreat, no surrender, not until it starts yielding fruit and we realize howfar we have gone, I only hope and pray that this wh0le thing doesn’t get out of hand.
My name is Samuel Ezeh. Am from the Igbo tribe and that’s the eastern part of Nigeria, we are relatively stubborn from that region if you understand what I mean. Ogbaru LGA, Anambra state, to be precise and am 36 years old.
The most important person in my life is this woman sitting beside me and the beautiful blessings she gave me whom are at home expecting their mum and dad.
I know her just like the palm of my hands and I know she only calls me by my name when she’s mad at me, I crossed the line with the word ‘divorce’ and I don’t blame her for fighting back and I love her still.
Eight years in this marriage and it’s already taking its tour on her, I never thought our flimzy arguments will ever get to this but I think it’s not a bad idea at all.
I smiled when I stole a glance at her and she’s glaring at me, what would even make her think I’m serious about Jake preparing a divorce paper, I will be damned if that happens by mistake.
I drove into our beautiful home….beautiful home is where your heart accepts and feels at peace and beauty is an understatement because she and my children lives in it…..Bob and Roseline ran to welcome us.
“Mom! Dad!!” they gave us each a hug, I watched them hover around their mother for a while and told her meaningless things which she listened to with rapt attention as if it actually makes sense and even commended them for it before she carried them in,side.
I think our failing marriage is my fault after all, I obviously never squeeze out enough time for them and totally forgot that I should put them first before any other thing.
I have even forgotten the last time we watched movie together as one family or even k-ssed them good morning before going to work.
Bob is Seven years and will be eight soon, Rose is five, Tyrone is three and our little Kate is just eight months old.
Don’t worry, you will get to know them better soon.
I packed my car properly in-between my old car and her car in the packing lot before jogging in,side, I need to go checkout the divorce agreement immediately.
Only God knows what Jake wrote in there?
