Blessing was not smiling that day.
Her boyfriend, Emeka, forgot her birthday.
No calls. No texts. Nothing.
She kept checking her phone again and again, hoping to see his name pop upā¦ but nothing came.
By evening, her mood was already ruined.
Then finally his call came in.
She looked at the screen, hissed softly and said,
āOmo, now you remember abi?ā
She let it ring.
He called again.
And again.
But this time, Blessing just dropped her phone and said,
āMake him wait. I no dey pick.ā
She even switched her phone to silent and went out with her friends to distract herself.
About 2 hours laterā¦
She picked up her phone again.
23 missed calls.
Her heart skipped.
Then she saw one message.
Her hands started shaking as she opened it
āPlease answer meā¦ I get accident. I dey hospital.ā
Everything changed instantly.
āJesusā¦ā she whispered.
She called back immediately, but a different voice answered.
āHello, are you Blessing? Please come to the hospital. He has been asking for you.ā
Tears filled her eyes as she rushed out without even thinking twice.
When she got thereā¦
Emeka was lying on the hospital bed, looking weak.
The moment he saw her, he managed to smile and saidā
āI was coming to surprise youā¦ thatās why I didnāt call earlier.ā
Blessing broke down completely.
All the anger, all the āformingā, all the prideā¦ disappeared in seconds.
That night, she learned the hard way
Not every silence deserves punishmentā¦ sometimes, it hides something serious.
š¬ Be honestā¦ would you have picked the call or ignored it like Blessing?
