Omoshalewa ⁣ 👇⁣ ⁣ Their orders arrived and they began to eat. Tunde was almost done with his meal when he spoke up. “Shalewa, why are you keeping me in suspense? What’s the problem?”⁣ ⁣ Shalewa dropped her fork and looked at him. “Well, I had no intention of spoiling your dinner; that’s why I decided to hold on till you were done.”⁣ ⁣ “I’m all ears.” He said; looking at his plate as he tried to cut a piece of chicken.⁣ ⁣ “I need a break.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde put the piece of chicken in his mouth as he nodded, looking up at Shalewa. “A break? Why don’t you discuss with your dad. He may give you some time off.”⁣ ⁣ “That’s not what I mean, Tunde. I wasn’t referring to work. I mean a break from this relationship.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde’s eyes widened. He dropped his cutlery gently and took a sip of his drink. “A break from me?”⁣ ⁣ “Well, if you would rather put it that way.”⁣ ⁣ “Our wedding is in a few weeks.”⁣ ⁣ “I am aware of that. The more reason why I need a break.” Shalewa said as she looked at him straight-faced.⁣ ⁣ “But…but Shalewa, what went wrong?”⁣ ⁣ “I just need to sort out my feelings.”⁣ ⁣ “I thought we were past this.”⁣ ⁣ “No, we weren’t. We never were.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde was confused. “But you agreed to marry me?”⁣ ⁣ “To satisfy you and my dad. Have you forgotten so soon?”⁣ ⁣ Tunde pushed his half-eaten plate of chicken aside and held Shalewa’s hands on the table. “Please don’t do this to us. I love you.”⁣ ⁣ Shalewa pulled her hands from his grip. “Tunde, don’t make this more difficult than it already is. I can’t continue to live a lie.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Read Omoshalewa on my blog by clicking the link in bio.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #olubukolasthoughts ⁣#olubukolasthots #omoshalewa #romancewriter #africanfiction #naijastories #nigerianauthors #nigerianfiction #instablogger #instawriter #naijabooklovers #authorsofinstagram #readergram #bookstoread #bookblogger #blogsofinstagram #africanwritersoninstagram #africanfictionwriters #ebookreaders #booklovers #ebookstagram #writersinnigeria #authorsofig #romancewritersofinstagram #africanwriters #writersnetwork #authorscommunity (at Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbuaKAl3y2/?igshid=892hdewknc0j

This heart-wrenching novel is now available on amazon. Get yours today!

A novel for black boys who will not reform... and the black women who will not wait for them.

In this equilibrium of light humour deep-hitting shockwaves, Gudani Raulisa weaves a heart-wrenching tale of gender disparities against an apprehensive backdrop of cataclysm and student politics, eliciting key reflections on the state of gender relations in our society. Ever wondered what those shameless, supermarket gawkers do alone at night after tailing behind you into every aisle, occasionally knocking a few cotton ball packs so they could pretend to be picking them while looking up your short, flippy dress? This book is a disillusioning account of the thought processes of perverts, otherwise spelt as “men,” and of the male company innocent girls sometimes like to keep. But there’s more: Lessons Lessons for men who believe women should help them recrimp their effed up brain connectors, and that lesson is that women don’t owe you jack. 

Get it on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/0620790067/...

Excerpts from Omoshalewa ⁣ ⁣ “Thanks for the lunch, ma. It was nice.” Tunde said as they all stood up from the dining table and moved to the living room.⁣ ⁣ “You are welcome, my dear and I hope you visit more often.” Funke answered smiling.⁣ ⁣ “On Shalewa’s request, I would.”⁣ ⁣ “You do not have to wait for Shalewa’s consent to come over.” Bayo Samuel said matter-of-factly.  “This is like your second home. Remember, your late dad and I were buddies way back in the university. You are free to visit anytime.”⁣ ⁣ Tunde nodded his head.⁣ ⁣ “Shalewa, your mum and I would be in the study so you can have some time to catch up on old gists with Tunde.” Bayo smiled as he led his wife out of the living room.⁣ ⁣ “Okay daddy.” Shalewa answered, not appreciating the gesture. What gist did she have to catch up with Tunde? There was no history between them, so what was there to talk about?⁣ ⁣ They both sat down on opposite ends of the room watching the television. Since there was no history between them and they had nothing to talk about, they discussed about the issues on the television. Shalewa tried to be a good host but wondered if her parents knew that she wasn’t enthusiastic about their match making efforts.⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ Read the rest of this story by clicking the link in bio⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #olubukolasthoughts ⁣#olubukolasthots #omoshalewa #africanauthors #romancewriter #africanfiction #naijastories #nigerianauthors #bookoftheday #naijawriters #bookstagrammer #writersnetwork #instablogger #bloggersofinstagram #bookblogger #storyteller #readergram #authorscommunity #africanwriters #creativewriters #wordsmith #africanfictionwriters #ebookreaders #ebookstagram #writersinnigeria #naijabooklovers #naijablogger (at Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdvOzuFEe5/?igshid=7pi5xs7ikigk
