Forewarned is forearmed is a proverb which originated from Latin, before it won itself into English Idioms

Helen learned her lesson in a very hard way, she confessed, remembering the proverb earlier stated

 “I trusted him with my life and he stabbed me in the back”

I thought he was the one for me, I never knew, he was a monster who wore the figure of a gentleman

Where did we meet?

Oh yeah, I remember, on the eve of Christmas, what year again... 2016, that was the year, in front of U.I A.T.M gallery, Ibadan

I was happy that special evening when I got an alert of #20,000 sent by my childhood Cully, Thompson who had moved to France

I wish you were there that day, to see how smile was glowing on my face, you must have thought I wore a jackpot

I wrapped myself in an asymmetrical outfit, presented to me as a gift on my last birthday, by my chum, Thom Thom

On getting to the ATM Gallery, my head nearly jumped out from my neck, when I met a lot of people forming linear lines like secondary school students

Maybe, lack of patience gave birth to a dagger to my heart

I said to myself, I have to find a way to beat this incredulous crowd

I channeled my sight to the front, there I saw a fine man stepping out of his vehicle

I ran my eyes on his body and sized him up, this is what I have to submit on the table of my heart;

👉Tall-chested figure

👉 Well-shaped Obama hairstyle

👉 Navy blazer outfit

I confessed this is the exact type of man I can't wait to be wrapped inside, no lie, I was romantically melting to be touched by him

I eventually snapped myself out of this naughty feelings

I walked straight to meet one of the security men and sought for help

He looked at me just once and said young lady, I can't help out, go and join the Queue

I helplessly sat down, and said, this is beyond me

To my surprise, I never knew, the tall-chested figure also spotted my irresistible gorgeous figure, I was called by him

We greeted and he humbly said;

Hey princess, what can I do to make you smile?

I was just preaching smile for some minutes, I later told him what I came for

 In a nutshell, he permitted me to make use of a freshly loaded machine

I was super excited, I thanked him and we eventually exchanged contacts

I thought I charmed him with my smile, I never knew he was looking for where to stab me

I was consistently called by him before I got home

Tell me, how you will really feel, when you have “your spec” calling you consistently, I guess you must have felt on top of the world

I felt that way too...

Oh I forgot to tell you his name, Mathew, yeah that was his name

After some months, we sparked up a light of relationship, so many times I had walked myself to the bank, just to behold his sexy tempting face on fund transfer desk

I must confess, Mathew spoilt me with money, my skin was glowing like the sun and of course, I was being envied by friends, even my enemies

I honor each day with a new stylish outfit, I became a prayer point for every intending couple

I was feeling on top of the world and never knew my boat is sinking

I never knew Mathew was planning a secret wedding with his fiancee

I was shocked to the heart when I was told by a friend about Mathew's plot

I quickly rushed to meet him, to confirm the authenticity of the story...

I faced the one I trusted my heart with and asked, baby, is it true you are getting married?

He buried his head inside the little space of his hands

He couldn't look at me in the eyes, he eventually summoned the courage and muttered, all you heard was nothing but the truth

I fell down with tears helping me to narrate how badly I felt

Remembering the number of times I had given my body to him

Remembering the promises we made each other with a slogan “Forever we will stick together like a giant broom”

*lI trusted you with my heart but you proved me wrong

Remembering the number of guys I rejected in order to be with “just you”

It will not be an exaggeration to express that;

Trust is one of the potent element that helps to keep the bond of relationship intact

Trust is what keeps lovers going even in the midst of difficulties

Here we have relationships failing in our world today, just because of “MURDERED TRUST”

It is impossible for love to strive, once trust is broken or murdered

Lack of trust is responsible for the reasons why many are scared of tying the knot up till now

They had once been victims of murdered trust, so forging ahead has turned to a Goliath-tasking mission

We have lives breathing for sanity in our hospitals today, all in the name of “MURDERED TRUST”

Can love really survive without TRUST?

It is practically impossible for TRUE LOVE to survive without TRUST

I can also say, no relationship can be called a healthy one without having “TRUST” playing its role

On a final note, do not murder people's trust by trying to play smart

I love you...
