UNCLE DIRECTOR

Prelude to this story. 2001 all my mates where leaving my school to write their SSCE in these so-called MAGIC CENTERS.  I told my mum about it she told be to find out where they were going but I told her I was not going there that I was going to write it in my current school and that I would pass. Hmm it was as if God went to sleep when I said I had faith I would pass my exams in that school. I read like never before but when the result came out the result was as good as nothing because they seized one major paper failed to record the other paper then I had C’s and D’s. My mum was mad at me she insisted that I should repeat from SS2 in my school. Hmm God I almost lost my mind… finally my aunty convinced her to let me enroll at another school. That was where I meet ‘uncle director’

His dad was the owner of the school. They made him the director of the school, he had just finished NYSC and he was the first son of this new money millionaire. While I was in the school he was dating my friend but the truth was I was so naïve that I did not know that each time I saw her off to directors office was for them to…. I just thought they were close because she used to tell use about him and he used to buy her gifts. Innocent me I saw nothing wrong in their friendship but I knew I could not be that close to him because I was so shy. He always tried to include me in their outings but I was so shy.

Finally we graduated I passed all my papers and my mum was happy. I got admission into the university 2003. ‘Uncle director’ started calling me he was so friendly I started enjoying his company. Then it was time to move to school hmm I had no money to buy the basics ‘uncle director’ came to my rescue, he got every pin I needed. He was just a blessing that was when I feel in love with him. He even came to help me park my things to school. That night we went out to celebrate my admission. He sang Endless love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross to me aww I was blown out then he asked the perfect question at the wrong time. WOULD YOU MARRY ME? That very night he asked I said not now because I was not going to go home and tell them I, simbi 18 years old jambite* is engaged on her first day of university.

Well he told me he promised his grandmother that he would marry when he was 30 and at that time he was 29 (yes he was 11 years older than me lol). That was where I started to discover the bitter side of men. First it was him dating other girls in my school and the girls used to make fun of me when I would ask him he would deny and I was blinded by love so I could not leave him for he was my endless love.  Hmm the next thing he told me his ex-girlfriend was pregnant for him but he was not sure the child was his. Hmm foolish me I was still dating him and loving him. I was even begging him to be warm to his ex. Time went by the night she had the baby I was with him he said he did that so I would know I was more important to me. (Only God knows if that was the night she had the baby because this man was a good liar) a year later I heard from a friend that he was getting married to his so called EX/BABY MAMA hmm I confronted him and he got angry that why was I discussing about him with people (I was shocked) few weeks later he invited me over and he got on his kneels and was crying that he doesn’t want to loss me that he is getting married bla bla bla… foolish me I said no at first but after playing Akon lonely and crying my life out I called him and we were back in a relationship. On his wedding day I don’t know what demon got into me I went for the reception and when I saw him dancing with her I started crying I went back to my room to cry I did not eat for two weeks I became lean everyone in school knew something was wrong. A week after his wedding he came to look for me then we kept on dating only for him to ask me to come clubbing with my friends that we have never gone out with my friends that was how I invited two of my roommates that were my friends one was my bunk mate.

I’ve always had these instincts that tell me when a man is cheating (lol I hope they are right) that was how after the clubbing I had this feeling that he and my bunkmate were up to something. The next day her phone was stolen in the room only for me to go to class and get back she had a new phone, hmm I knew she was broke* so how could she afford a new phone. Uncle-director was at work here lol. My suspicions were confirmed to me that very day. She got an sms from him and he sent the same sms to me lol smh* men. That was where I got my senses back. This man did not love me enough to wait to marry me. What was I doing with him? Was I hoping to be the second wife of a man that could not give his new wife a month before he was back to the street life?

Well that was where we ended our love oh. Funny I saw him some months back and I kept asking myself how did I ever date this man. Hmm God I cant wait to see what my prince charming would look like and how he would act because this man was a total apology. Talking from all corners of his mouth. Lol

That’s it friends till my next post see ya!
