COMPULSORY MARRIAGE

EPISODE 35

one week gone, two and still counting down
to the introduction without hearing from my
parent, This was just 3 weeks to the
introduction date. My mood towards Mary
never changed all through this time
I was at home on Sunday evening when Biola
called me and asked if we can see, she said I
should meet her somewhere, she gave me
the description around Ajao Estate and I
quickly drove down there. I met her at the
tetrazzini at 7&8 junction. She was sitting by
a corner all alone
Me: What happened baby? What are you
doing here? You sounded somehow on phone
Biola: Am just coming from your house…I
met your parent and they explain everytyn to
me
Me: What did they explain to you
Biola: Everytyn baby…and you cant because
of me not listen to your parent
Me: Please stop that baby..its my life and I
have to live it the way I want
Biola:but their opinion count so much too
and you cant because of me turn your back
on them
Me: Am not turning my back on them, its just
my future
Biola: Well have given them my word that I
will talk to you and back down baby
Me: back down from what baby..please
don’t ruin my life baby, pls don’t let us ruin
this chance again baby
Biola: I couldn’t withstand the cry of your
mum…I couldn’t, I put myself I her shoes and
how I will feel if my son disobey me…
moreover what is the tendency that I will be
accepted by them knowing fully well that
they will have it in mind that you disobeyed
them cos of me. Please lets put a stop to all
this baby, have accepted defeat already and
even though have not come to terms with it
but I have no option but am very sure I will
survive this. Please am very sorry baby, we
can still be friend and will forever be the best
of friend…you know I always want the best
for you and your happiness..Dont worry
baby, am not angry with you, I believe it’s
the will of God that things happened this way
between us, I will take you as my brother and
friend going forwards snakie, pls take good
care of yourself for me baby, I will forever
love you
“she stood up and went out of the restaurant
and I was dumbfounded, she left with a
swollen face crying”
Me: wait…Biola, please wait now
Biola….please wait baby…baby..baby…
She was already on bike by the time I
stepped out of the door as if the bike was
already waiting for her, I quickly located my
car but one idiot guy already park behind me
and before he could remove his car and
entered mine to follow her, I couldn’t locate
her again..i tried her number but it was
switched off already
