On the following week, I keep chating with betty and on
the second week. I made my intentions known to her
but she told me she isn’t interested in any relationship
for now until she finishes her Msc programme.
She told me her dad is out of the country and owns a
business empire in Abuja with branches in lagos,
portharcout and Enugu. She told me that her mother is
late and she has a elder brother who got married about
2 and half years ago. She also told me that they her
brother and her are the only children of their parents.
We discussed a lot of things and we became more
intimate. She saw me as a confidant and I saw her as
one also.
I keep disturbing her that I loved her and wanted her to
be my girl and she keep giving me the same response.
On the 26th of that month which was on friday. She
told me that she would be returning to lagos on sunday
so we agreed to meet on saturday at my house.
I sent my address details to Betty and she arrived at
my house on that saturday afternoon. I entertained her
and we started chating.
ME: betty, I’m going to miss you.
BETTY: I will miss you more dear.
ME: are you going on public transport?.
BETTY: why should I go on public transport when I
have my own small car.
ME: **smiled** don’t mind me jaree. I thought it
belongs to grandma.
BETTY: no, its mine, it was my graduation gift after
finishing from the university with a 2.1.
Me: waooooh, what a brilliant girl.
BeTTY: don’t mind me jaree.
ME: please, I want to have your pictures on my phone
so as to be looking at it whenever I miss you since I
have been begging you to be my wife and you refused.
BETTY: haa! Onihaxy now, I’m not saying I can’t marry
you, I only said I needed time for myself.
ME: anyway, I won’t loose hope nor give up until you
become mine.
BETTY: **smiled***
ME: let me have you phone, I want to send few of your
pictures to my phone.
BETTY: ***handed her phone over to me****, this is
the phone.
I was scrolling through the phone and saw 3 of my
pictures which she saved from BBM, I smiled as I
continued scrolling and viewing her picture till I saw
the picture of her carrying a small baby.
ME: ***called on her**** is this your baby?
BETTY: **came closer**** no, its my elder brother’s
daughter. She is a year and 2 months old.
ME: ***scrolling through and saw a man**** who is

her with a familiar face*** heeeee!!!, this face looks
