Staring at the almost emptied glasses of wine, Mabel could already feel the bad news coming from her long time dating partner. He wasn't as sweet as he used to be, she had been noticing his negligence to their relationship but kept pushing in hopes that things would get better.
It's been almost six years since they agreed to get together after a forced blind date their parents prepared for them. Even though Ken, her partner was super wealthy, Mabel loved him for being a sweet person or maybe he had been pretending because of his parents.
Regardless of how boring and heartbreaking their date on this particular day was going, Mabel decided to believe that it was just one of their bad days and they will get back to being lovey dovey again.
It's been long we had a movie date night, how about we do that this weekend?
Mabel decided to break the long silence
I won't be chanced this weekend, I've got a lot of work to do.
Ken replied still not looking at her but at his already empty glass wine.
Mabel stopped talking, took up her half filled glass and took a sip then stared at Ken with her eyes almost in tears. She began to contemplate if she really was seeing an end to their relationship but the more she tried to, the more it felt unbelievable.
What is going through your mind? You seem to have something to say.
Mabel broke the silence once again
Ken raised his head, still rolling his eyes around the place, not sure how to break the almost obvious bad news he had to for his once most loved. He opened his mouth to say the words but Mabel stopped him immediately sensing that it had really come to that point.
Are you really going to break up with me? What have I done wrong?
Mabel said with her eyes pleading for pity.
You didn't do anything wrong, the thing is...
Ken was just about to agree that he was actually breaking up with her and was interrupted again.
I didn't do anything wrong so why would you even think of breaking up with me, you don't seem to have any reason for it!
Mabel said, now in tears.
You're not exciting anymore, too boring for me... I want a breakup
Ken finally let it out.
Mabel was dumbfounded for some minutes thinking back to find out how exactly she had been less exiting to him or ever boring. All she could remember was she trying to light up their moods whenever he was being a too serious boyfriend and making their relationship boring but she never cared.
I can't believe you just said that! Is that even a reason to break up with me? How on earth have I been boring compared to you had been to me?
Mabel gave a loud response, she had stopped crying.
Ken didn't seem to care about whatever she was trying to say, he just wanted to be free from their relationship. He stood up and asked that she never contacts him again, walked away in a rush.
Mabel sat down alone still trying to get a grasp of all that had happened between them, she couldn't believe she had bought new wears with her salary to come to their date only to get a break up with the most unbelievable reason.
She stood up, walked out of the restaurant and headed home trying hard to be strong and not cry over Ken. On her way back home, she saw Ken hugging another lady in his car.
Oh! Now, that's a more believable reason
She said, crossed her heart to move on no matter what.

Oh wow! My first time reading a story from @merit.ahama. If you're partner starts putting up this “I'm busy attitude” out if the blue, just know something is wrong somewhere.
I feel sorry for Mabel, she found out the hard way.
Lol... Can't believe you read a story from months ago, this is so surprising haha.
Too bad for Mabel but it's clear he really isn't the one for her.
Thanks for stopping by my handsome 😊
Nice work with this story, @merit.ahama. You captured the pain and turmoil of a breakup. The story leads up to that terrible moment, and then the inevitable happens. But there's one more surprise. Ken has already moved on!
Thank you for sharing your story in The Ink Well, and for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
Yeah, it was a surprise
Thanks for the support
I'm sure your story will resonate with almost everyone, @merit.ahama. Most of us have been through a difficult breakup at one point or another. It's never fun, but especially when you discover the other person has been cheating on you!
So true! A lot have such stories, too bad.
Thanks for stopping by
Ken should have told her the truth. She deserved that at least.
Mabel is a strong woman and so I believe she'll get over Ken with time.
Yeah, Ken must have been a bad nigga all alone... Who knows?
Behind every breakup, there's an alternative somewhere to the break-up initiator.
Nice write up👌.
I'm yet to know why I'm always reading your breakup writes🤣🤣.
National cake😁😁
Haha you're so funny, I also don't know why you always read my write ups about breakup 😅
Poor Mabel, hopefully she will get some hobbies and become less boring for her next boyfriend.
Hopefully!
Such a cruel breakup 💔... poor Mabel😢.
This was really nice👍!
I definitely enjoyed reading through your story.
Thanks for sharing!😊
Cruel indeed!
Thanks for enjoying my story 😊
Wow, this is actually really sad, hopefully she will find better soon
Yeah, hopefully
thanks for the story. and yes, I found the end a more believable reason for his actions also
That's right, thanks
It really breaks my heart when I come across stories like this because, while this might be fiction, it is reality for some people.
I just hope girls in these kinds of situations get the help that they need to move forward and come out stronger.
Your writing style is impeccable.
Nice write-up!
It happens a lot my dear, the strong fight through and the weak cry over it and become strong somehow 🥲
Thanks for your sweet compliments
I just have to say it's fictional... Not real I refused for it be real...what a heartbroken story for Mabel. At least she was able to get over her ex boyfriend now because he was seen with another lady, and that explains much better.
Thanks for submitting this to dreemport... I came in from dreemport...as usual😁
Haha it sure is a fictional story but happens in reality too when a person is dumped for another 🥲
Thanks to Dreemport for showing you a way to my post 😊
Thank you for putting in writing what is the reality of people here and there
