Dele sat down patiently at the reception, his eyes focused on the newspaper he had with him as he waited for his turn to go into the doctors office. He has been feeling some pains recently and decided to come get some prescriptions.

Usually, he would have gone to a chemist shop down the street to get some painkillers but the doctor was a very good friend of his so he decided to kill two birds with one stone, get treatment for his body pains and also say hi to his friend.

As he waited, another nurse walked up to the nurse sitting at the reception and two minutes after she got there, Dele knew his wait was about to get interesting. The nurse who apparently had nothing important to do decided that time was the perfect time to fill her friend in on some story she heard the previous day and the timing couldn't be more perfect for Dele.

So he pretended to focus on his newspaper as he listened to one of the most interesting gossip he has ever heard in his life.

According to the nurse, a lady had wanted to end her relationship with her man not because he wasn't loving or caring, as a matter of fact, the nurse described the boyfriend as the perfect guy. The only problem was that he was broke and that was a huge problem for the lady. The guy was very nice guy so she found it really hard breaking up with him and that was why she decided to fake her death.

Dele raised an eyebrow the moment he heard that but he made sure to remain in character as he didn't want anything or anyone stopping him from getting to the end of the story.

The lady had texted her boyfriend with her phone, pretending to be her cousin. She had told him about her death and how because of covid, only twenty people were allowed to come for her burial and therefore, only her families were allowed to be there. Her boyfriend was sad and seeing how they both didn't have any mutual friends, he took what the "cousin" told him and mourned her death.

It took him a while but he finally learnt to move on. According to the nurse, the lady who faked her death continued to stalked her now ex boyfriend online and everything seem fine to her until few weeks later when she started noticing the way her ex boyfriend now dresses. It was as if he was a whole different person with a new financial status. He was no longer broke and now she wants him back. But there was one tiny little problem, how does she come back from the dead?

Is that a real-life story? It's kind of wired. But again, humans are wired.
And in relationships, people get confused over what they really want.
