Married to an unknown man
Episode 5
The next morning he called and said he’ll be coming to my work place.
He did come but I got curious to know the kind of work he does, so I asked.
He said he is into real estate, fish farming and poultry farming, I was wowed.
We discussed so many things, I knew I was warming up to him, cos things were going too fast
I told him I will need some time to process everything because I wasn’t ready for marriage and moreover my relationship was on the line.
For some days I didn’t talk to my boyfriend, I was avoiding him because I didn’t know what to tell him, the relationship was a month plus.
George said we could get married then he’ll give me time to adjust to the married life.
Hmmm….I don enter one chance, He said he plan on doing our traditional wedding next Friday then we can postpone the white wedding to the other week
So he wants us to join heads together to arrange things, that’s he’s going to be paying for everything….Hmmm
I told him that I would love to contribute to my marriage, that’s one of the reasons why I don’t want to marry so sudden, that I wanted to be financially independent.
I told him that I can’t marry him, that he should look for someone else.
He frowned, and said it was me or no one else, Na wa oo, so like this now I no get say 😒
This guy no know say I fit run commot from Benin, I was so angry that I told him that I wanted to be left alone.
He obeyed and left, I became moody through out that day, there was no appetite for food either
When I got home, I called him that I won’t be going out with him and I was serious about what I told him earlier.
He said he’ll give me that day off and he’ll win me over.
I angrily ended the call and switched off my phone.
Even when he called the next day I didn’t pick up, I was more angry at myself.
I didn’t want to hear his voice nor see him, even when he came to my shop I didn’t talk to him my aim was to piss him off.
Gosh….he was getting on my nerves, nothing I do moves him.
Then he told me he was traveling but he’ll only spend 2 days there
Ahhh I was so happy, I wish he can just spend enternity there and leave my life alone.
He said these two days that he won’t be around I should use it to think about what I want, that if at the end of two days I decided not to marry him that he’ll leave me alone for good.
That settled well with me, I was suddenly happy, wow….that is good news I thought happily.
So I called my boyfriend that I’ll be coming over to visit him after work that I have something to discuss with him.
He didn’t sound good on phone, he said he was traveling that evening but he’ll be coming back the next day, so I agreed to visit him the next evening, when I got home I took some of my clothes to go his house, I wanted to pass the night at his place even if he won’t be around, I have one of his spare key with me, I just needed a cool place to think without anybody disturbing me.
My phone was off so I couldn’t call him to tell him that I will be passing the night at his place.
I got to his place past 8pm, I was surprised to see his room door slightly opened, so I pushed it, I couldn’t believe what I saw, before me was a girl straddling my boyfriend, they were kissing each other.
I couldn’t move from the spot I stood, no wonder he told me he was traveling, so he could have time with his ex…yeah, he was shocked when he saw me.
I left there with anger and went home, I couldn’t sleep through out that night, my lovely boyfriend note the sarcasm” called and sent different messages through out that night asking for forgiveness….haha, I didn’t pick any of his calls or reply his messages.
I slept off later and woke up in the morning to find him kneeling besides my bed begging and shedding crocodile tears…
It was definitely crocodile tears, I told him straight up that I was getting married, that he was of no use to me anymore.
He eventually left when he knew his pleas were of no use.
I had my bath, dressed up and left for work, I closed from work early. when I got home I called George and told him that I’ve accepted to get married to him…he was surprised, I told him we should start planning the traditional wedding.
I knew I made the decision in haste, I might face the repercussions later, but what can I do, I was hurt..
I told my mum that we will be having our traditional wedding soon
After so many advises and talks I slept off..
