NIGERIAN-AMERICAN DOCTOR


One hot afternoon Mr. Wole my course mate called me. He asked about my relationship status I knew once it was another hook up coming lol I guess my senses are alert to these things.
Well I was single at that time so he told me about a family friend that was a practicing doctor in the states and he had just started his own clinic. Hmm sounds good right? Well I’m not one of those ladies that traveling abroad trills me. I have a passion for Nigeria and I don’t see myself living outside this country. (So guys if you are based outside Nigeria I’m not interested)
I told him I was not interested in living outside Nigeria hmm he did not let me rest he said I should wait till I see ‘doctor’. He showed me a picture of the doctor I felt he looked too old but Mr. Wole said he was 38 years old, in my head I had done the math’s that by the time we date for a year he would be 39 then we get married lets say God is very kind to us I we would have our first child a year later he would be 40 ah by the time he is 50 our first child would be 10 oti o! *  Mr. Wole was not looking at that oh, all he saw was a good doctor that would be a good husband to me. He insisted that I go with him to see ‘doctor’s’ aunty.
We went to see her a week later. Na wa oh* as soon we go to her house she started calling me their wife hmm! She asked questions about me which was normal but when it was time to leave she asked for us to take a picture then she brought two bottles of wine and said I should give them to my parents then told me she and Mr. Wole would come see my parents (now did I miss something? I’ve not seen ‘doctor’ yet. I’ve not even heard his voice and you want to come visit my parents’ lol) I just smiled and told her ok. She told me that doctor would call me that I was their princess (like really?).
So doctor finally called. He sounded nice on the phone for just the first week. He would call everyday, we talked about spirituality because he was also a pastor (do I want to be a pastor’s wife? Hmm). After that he stopped calling for almost a month then when he called again he said he has been busy with work (and you want to marry? so that you will abandon me in the house. Oh one more thing ‘doctor’ told me he was 42 years old. So lets redo the math’s date for one year 43 marry 44 years have our first baby 45 years by the time he is 50 years our first child would be 5 years old hmm). 
TO BE CONTINUED............
