I tok no, and di world just continue exactly as e bin dey. One sentence, wey I send, and my evening still remain my own. I go get better well well for dis tin, because na di sentence wey get power pass wey I sabi and I don spend years dey treat am as di hardest one. Notin bad happen. Dat one worth to notice well well, because I bin sure well well say na di opposite go happen. Di evening wey I protect na di same evening wey I for quietly vex say I lose.

No long message dey sidon inside my drafts. No paragraph wey dey explain mysef, no softening, no sorry wey pile on top anoda sorry. Di whole tin take eleven seconds. I put di phone face down and go back to wetin I bin dey do, and wetin I bin dey do still dey there dey wait.

I bin dey write four sentence for where one for do, and every extra sentence na open invitation to negotiate. Den I go vex wen person accept di invitation, and dat one no ever fair to dem, because na me send di invitation. Long no no be kind no. Na no wey no clear, and na tin wey no clear dey end up cost everybody wey dey inside am dia time. I bin dey arrange mysef so dat dem go like me for di next thirty seconds, and na to dey trusted for di next year I dey pay wit. Di two no be di same currency, and I continue to dey pay wit di wrong one dey wonder why di balance no dey move.

Short no get kindness pass long one. E clear, e no dey pretend say di door open wen e no open, and e respect di oda person enough to tok true quick quick so dat dem fit go ask person else while time still dey. Every no wey I give well na yes wey I fit give well for somewhere wey e matter pass. Pipo wey sabi dis tin no cold pass me. Na clear dem clear, and na only person wey bin dey hope for maybe dey read clarity as cold. Nobody don ever vex for clear answer. Na di maybe wey cost dem one week dem dey vex for.

So I go reply wit one sentence. I no owe anybody explanation, and to add one go just open di conversation wey I dey try close. I fit warm and short for di same breath. Di two no ever really dey fight each oda. I assume say dem dey fight for most of my adult life and I no ever test dat tin against real life even once. Short, warm, and finished. Dat combination bin dey available to me di whole time.

One sentence. My evening don come back. Notin do anybody, and di person wey ask don move on before I finish to dey worry about am.
