It was now the upteempth time he had done this. Cast her away on one of his whims, telling her clearly that it was over between them. This and all the behaviours over the years showing her that she had always been an afterthought.

Going on a vacation somewhere and then suddenly deciding that the place wasn't what he had imagined it to be. Changing his mind about the week ahead on a planned vacation because he knew that he could afford changing it financially. Also being a teacher, he has many weeks of vacation to still indulge himself in. He just always sees things his way, she remembers. 

It is high time to put her choices and her self esteem first. Enough of being the favourite toy to Mr. Wrong and only 'Yes' to treating herself as Ms More-than-enough. It is now 10 days since the last 'breakup'. She was finally starting to sleep well enough and getting back to a normal and regular daily routine. It was nice to be cuddled up on her sofa under a blanket and not have anywhere to rush to or anyone to cater to. Ah, this Chamomile tea is perfect.

The doorbell rings. She goes to pick up the intercom. Oh no! It's Mr. Wrong again. She hasn't been chasing him, in  fact, she's been relieved to not have any contact at all. She asks him what he wants. He says " oh, I have this biker jacket that I would like you to repair". She doesn't understand what that's got to do with her anyway, but says " wait downstairs, I will come". 

When she reaches outside the building, she is immediately showered with all sorts of "My Darling, My love" and behaviour which implies that they never broke up for the 1000th time 10 days back. She's not impressed. She doesn't want to even stand next to him & she doesn't want to waste anymore time with him. She says "I can't do this anymore, it's fine that we aren't together. It's good in fact. You're right, we're incompatible. If you want me to stitch this for you, okay. I can do it". 

He's shocked. He doesn't expect this. He always gets his way. She's always easy to convince. He tries to say, " I have this three-day trip that I was planning to go on with you". She replies quickly "No, I'm busy". 

His face transforms. The smiley composure disappears and  in its place, we see a slight hint of anger simmer over his eyes. He's lost control. He's lost his hold on her, he realises. "Then give me back all my gifts I gave you!" . She nearly laughs back in shock. She says "What will you do with those things?" . "I will throw them in the trash", he replies. "Okay, wait here and I'll be back", comes her reply. 

Climbing up the four floors, she's in a fix on how to find all the things he's gifted her over four years. But ok, she at least remembers all the most recent gifts. She gets into her apartment and starts emptying the handbag she had which was his latest gift. She is just about to go get the next thing when she realises Mr. Wrong has entered her apartment. She didn't check when she got into the building if the door had locked behind her. Her apartment door was ajar and it wasn't difficult to enter. 

Surprised, she looked at him and he looked at her. For a few seconds, she was uneasy and nearly scared. "Hello Mr.Wrong", said her son who was in the apartment. Never was she more grateful for having her grown son at home as at this moment. Mr. Wrong was brought back to reality and replied "I'm good. How are you?". 

He hurriedly gathers the things she offers him & leaves. She gets back onto her sofa and continues drinking her tea, ignoring all questions being thrown her way by her son..

When sense prevailed after the anger had evaporated, Mr Wrong sent the gifts back to her. Ms More-than-enough had by then no animosity or regrets. She accepted the gifts but the line she drew was indissoluble. She knew it and he knew it. Ms More-than-enough continued to live her life without having to resort to the extremes of blocking out Mr. Wrong. Ms More-than-enough continues to live the best years of her life after this incident and she has never gone back.
