Daniel: Carolina showed up at my place last night when I was about leaving for the club.
Peter:Hmmmm...which of the caros?The prostitute you digged some time ago who stole your money including your phones or the caro that suffers alot of heartbreaks from you in the name of digging other women?
Daniel: Carolina Ibeh.my on and off fiancee.I feel for her.She has suffered alot of heartbreaks from me because of the number of times she got me ontop of these women but I can't just help it.
Peter: So she came to your place last night.How did it go?Gist me?How far nah?

Caro: No,I can't.I am only here because I have something for you.
Daniel: Cool! More like a christmas gift.So this is your way of telling me your sorry for keeping away from me for four months? Uh? You walked out on me just because you saw me banging a woman who wasn't as sweet as you are.So Can I have my gift?

Last night.

Daniel's sittingroom.
Daniel: ...Engagement ring? Why give me back a ring that tells others that you are engaged to me?
Caro: Because I can't do this anymore.I am not coming back to you as your fiancee again.I thought I could cope and you would change but the more I come back to you,the more my heart drains.I can't marry you.
Daniel: Baby it wasn't like you got me sleeping with all the women in the city.I mean we talking about just four.
Caro: Uh! Four?
Daniel: Okay,just seven of them.
Caro: Only seven? Uh?
Daniel: Okay,I have lost counts but they are just random ladies.It is you are love sweetheart.
Caro: Sorry I have moved on.I'm with someone else.Someone who loves me and respects me as the love of his life.You didn't care how I felt to have watched you sleep with those women.Then after that you say to me you love me.my eyes are opened now.I can't do this anymore.I am married traditionally to another man and I love him so much.
Daniel: No,caro you can't be serious. Are you?
Present time.
The bar.
7:30pm.
Peter: Was she for real?
Daniel: I thought she was joking until she dropped the ring on my side table and left.
Peter: I'm so sorry Dan.I really feel for you.(He gets a flash on his phone)
Daniel: your caller Id reads wifey and I think I know that number.
Peter: Dan,I was going to tell you.Remember sometimes ago in this club,I spoke to you against the way you treat caro despite the fact that she is beautiful,intelligent and a wife material.She is every man's desire.I begged you to stop hurting orelse other men out there who loves her and would respect her would take her away from you.
Daniel: what are you driving at?
Peter: well,I'm one of those men who loves her and will always give her that respect as a lady.That respect you never gave her.Your last break up with her was an an opportunity for me to go get her and prove to her that I'm different. It wasn't easy because she loved you but I didn't give until she gave me a chance and now we are traditionally married.
Daniel: what?
Peter: we plan getting married in the church in two months time and you are invited.
Daniel: This is a joke,right? She is my woman and I love her.
Peter: She isn't your woman anymore.she is mine.There is this popular saying ,"you don't know the value of something till you loose it".Too bad ,you lost her.(Drinks up) I'm already late for dinner with caro at her place.That was why she flashed me.I have to go now.Merry christmas Dan.(Exits)
Daniel:(Pours his drink on his own face) This is real.I am not dreaming.
