So I just remembered what happened in my first relationship that was going well some years back.

My girlfriend came to tell me that her dad wanted to see me. She said she had told him so much about me and he wanted to meet this Caleb of a guy.

I told her I was broke and they had not paid us our salary yet. But my boss may pay tomorrow or next. Immediately he pays, I planned to buy a new shirt and trousers to impress her father, while I use the change for transport.

The next morning, my boss assured me that there was a client he was waiting for to bring money. The moment he brings the money, he would pay me. Well, the client came that evening to complain to my boss that he doesn't have money. My boss started shouting and insulting him.

Because of the frustration I was feeling, knowing that the money he would pay my boss was my salary, I also joined my boss to insult the man.

I called him a bald monkey and a b@boon with a pointed nose.

When the man left, my boss praised me.

"Ah, Caleb you did well o. Now that we have given him fire he will pay us."

I told him yes sir.

He dipped his hands in his pocket and gave me 2k for standing to fight with him.

That was the money I used to go to my girlfriend's house to see her dad. I managed to iron an old cloth and borrowed shoes from my neighbor.

When I arrived at her house, my girlfriend served me Eba and draw soup to eat, while I waited for her father.

I discovered that my girlfriend's father was the man my boss and I insulted the previous day. He had used the money he was supposed to pay my boss to give my girlfriend so she could cook food and prepare for my visit.

The man came out saw me and went back into his room.

I didn't even wash my hands.

I stood up and ran outside.

And because the gate was locked, I jumped the fence.
