“I am not dating that girl but even if I was, how is that any of your business because you broke up with me?” lashed out Mfana.

Lisa did not have an answer, she just stood there then left angrily.

It was December and Mfana had once again tried getting together with Lisa but she was not interested. Soon Lisa was dating one of her friend’s brothers who was visiting for December. Mfana realised that Lisa no longer loved him like she did before as he was the only one putting in an effort. Then he gave up on her.

In January Lisa was single again but this time Mfana was no longer interested in her. Some of Lisa’s friends started flirting with Mfana. Lisa soon realised that her friends lied just to break her and Mfana up because they also wanted him for themselves. They had arguments about this but Mfana was not interested in any of them.

We could have simply fixed our problems and continued to be in love. I realise forcing love is not a solution. What was once pure love between us has become lost love, Mfana thought to himself. He no longer believed in love. If a person who loved you could easily give up on you, just like Lisa did, then it was not worth it. From then Lisa and Mfana jumped from relationship to relationship because there was a void.

Mfana became a player because he believed it protected his heart. If one of the girls broke up with him, he would still have backup. He soon realised that did not bring him any joy and did not protect his heart. Mfana did not believe in love for many years, until he met a girl named Ani who made him fall in love again. Ani had suffered a heartbreak like Mfana had, and she also thought she could not love again. Ani and Mfana just clicked and fell in love, they were each other’s pillars of strength. Their love story was so beautiful, it needs to be told separately.
