Not long after, Sonia called and eventually called off the relationship .Though they parted ways, Sonia would always cherish the memories they had together and the love they had shared.
It was really not easy for the both of them to bear, friends and relatives asked their selves what could have go wrong?,
But Samuel would have atleast visited her and her dad, maybe that was main reason.for the break up, if not why will she just call off the relationship of five years, they were really surprised, they just concluded that not every love ends up in marriage.
