Diary of a single mother 22
“But sir… are you not moving.. too fast”. I stuttered.
He let out a very loud laugh.
“Chi, the heart knows where it belongs. A man already knows the woman he will make his wife even if he hasn’t voice out his intentions. You are the kind of woman I’d want to marry”. My Boss said.
“But sir, I am single mother of two boys and I am very young. I don’t even know anything about marriage “. I said with my head bowed down.
He moved closer to me and held my hands.
“I guess the fact that you are single mother at your young age made me to pity you and this pity has grown into a love I can’t even control. My mother also had me at a very tender age. My father never wanted me and asked my mom to abort me but she didn’t. My mother went through hell to make sure she raised me well. When I was in JSS2, my mom had an accident and died immediately ๐ฅบ”.
He paused for a while. A saw a tear drop from his eye but he quickly wiped it off. He continued.
” After my mom died, I was passed from one family to another who couldn’t love me as their own. They see me as a ba$tard who is unworthy of love. I got dumped in the hands of my boss who I served for 10yrs. I got settled and that was how the man you are seeing right now got made. You remind me of my mom. She got pregnant when she was just 15yrs old. I want to give you all the love I couldn’t give to her. Please permit me”.
I was completely blown away. After what seemed like eternity, I finally found my voice.
“Sir please give me some time to pray about this”. I pleaded.
“Sure. I will never rush you into marrying me. I’m ready to wait till you are ready”. He said.
I couldn’t sleep that night. I just felt like everything was a dream. My Boss who has about 5 big shops in this town and who is a multi millionaire if not a billionaire wants to marry me out of all the women in this town.
“Nahh! He just wants to sleep with me. It’s impossible for him to fall for a small girl”. I said
