Diary of a single mother 10.
I began to think about the vanity of life.
Frank used to be my school father in secondary school. I actually wrote to him asking him to be my school father.
He was two classes ahead of me. He was the finest boy in his class and also the most intelligent. All the girls in my school then, wanted him to date them.
We started off as school father and school daughter before we graduated into a couple.
When the news of our relationship broke out, most girls became envious of me. I became the number one girl in school because I was dating Frank.
He loved me in a way I wanted to be loved. He treated me like a precious jewel and was ready to sacrifice his life for me.
I felt safe and secured in his hands. Little wonder, I gave him my body on a platter of Gold.
I have already planned how our lives would be in 10years time.
We would be married with two kids. Our house would be a duplex with several domestic staffs.
We will show our children what true love is with how we’d love ourselves.
I can’t believe that everything I have planned in my head was nothing but a mirage.
How come the person that made me happy the most is the same person making me sad the most.
What if he is no longer in love with me and he ends up marrying another woman?
What will become of me? A single mother who no man will want to settle for.
I burst into a very loud cry.
“I can’t let that happen. I need to beg Frank”. I said.
I went to his room. I saw him engrossed on a phone call with someone. I was curious to know who he was so busy talking with.
I stood quietly and listened to his discussion.
“… hope you have resumed? I can’t wait to finally see you again”
He paused for a moment and continued.
“I have missed you so much. This strike really dealt with me sha. Who would have thought I would be able to be apart from you for this long?”.
This broke my heart into pieces.
“Frank is definitely cheating on me ๐ญ. I can’t take this”
