When your ex-lover ties the knot

It always happens around 3pm. The heavy lunch is having its lethargic effects on you. The boss is not around and there isn't too much work on your desk. You decide to take a walk through Facebook. Scrolling down, you notice, "Sheila Njoroge* got engaged to Titus Muchiri*". Lately, Facebook enlarges such mundane life cycle posts, it takes centre stage on your screen. Since Sheila was your girlfriend for two years, you went through so much together but things never worked. However, she still occupies a special place in your heart.

Any man past 28 has that one woman who taught him what love is and what it feels like to be loved. She tolerated your bad breath, your smelly socks and loved you even when you were too broke to afford a plate of French fries in the low-end eateries of Nairobi. But things never worked.
