Wrong Number
Episode 34
The two families has reached a consensus and the wedding will be happening in two months. I and Daniel traveled had to New York to see his
Parents. My Pastor suggest we leave Sharon behind, so she won’t get to see people who will trigger her old life. So I took her to my house. I was sure she’ll enjoy her stay, my family members are very accommodating.
We spent two weeks in America, I was well received by his parents. His Parents are simple and down to earth. They showered me with love like they’ve known me all their lives. I was treated like a princess, like I was the only daughter in-law in the world.
I realized how much they love and cherish Daniel. I guessed it was that love that was transferred to me. All they are interested in is Daniel’s happiness and they never doubted his choice.
Daniel took me to Los Angeles to see some of his cousins. His cousins told me they won’t mind following Daniel’s footsteps. They want to come to Nigeria to get a wife as well.
One of them even pleaded with me to help him get a wife material ready before the wedding, since they are coming to Nigeria for the wedding. I told them I’m not good in match making.
Daniel took me out on sight seeing. From Freedom tower to central park, Rockefeller center and NYC Park. I finally saw the statue of liberty live, I only see it on TV. I had a lot of fun, I must confess.
I shopped for the wedding as he promised. He took me to two great bridal stores in New York, Kleinfield and Lovely bridal shop. We bought everything we needed for the wedding including our rings except for my wedding gown. I have great fashion designers in
Nigeria who will do justice to that. We have to
celebrate, appreciate and embrace the art and talents that we have in our country.

I was alone in Daniel’s home in New York, his parents are not around. Daniel has gone out too, he said he wants to do one or two things around. I heard the door bell rang, so I went to get the door.
“Hello” I said as I opened the door. Without asking her in, she brushed pass me and
entered into the house. She’s a tall beautiful lady with a chocolate glowing skin.
“I’m sorry ma’am, the occupants of this house are not in, and I don’t know you. What’s your name, so I’ll tell them you called” I said respectfully.
“So you are the Nigerian girl who stole my man
right?” she said in an American accent.
“I don’t steal people’s man, please ma’am who are you?”
She checked out the diamond ring on my ring finger and eyed it.
“I heard Nigerian girls are good at hypnotizing men, but you’ve messed with the wrong person”
“Oh! Now I know who you are, his ex!” I said.
The word “ex” that I altered hited her like a sledge hammer. She raised her hand to slap me.
“Oh God! History must not repeat itself, Tunde’s
girlfriend once slapped me, it must not happen again” I said to myself.
So I quickly cover my cheeks with my two hands with my eyes closed. Then I heard a voice from behind, I opened my eyes
immediately. This guy is my knight in shinning armor.
