It all started when I went for the compulsory one year service in kogi state, Nigeria. Few years ago. As a new person, I want to get to know my environment, so I went for a stroll. On my way, i decided to branch at a restaurant to eat. If I was to be a fortune teller, perhaps, a simple restrain would have changed history and saved me from this dilemma. As I stepped into the restaurant, my eyes locked contact with a pretty lady who was serving the food at the counter. Mehn!! Was she beautiful.. She asked, "What do I offer u, Sir"? I stuttered, "give me rice and chicken". I was about paying, she declined and said "the bill is on me". I appreciated her kind gestures and asked for her name. She giggled, " I'm miracle, and you are" she replied. I told her, " I'm Sammy". I knew it was love at first site. The next day, i went to the restaurant in search of her. We booked a date to see that night. One thing led to another, we made love. We became deeply in love with each other. The one year service ran so fast like the speed of light and it was finally over. It was really hard letting each other go but I had to go back to my state. Before leaving, I gave her some money to get a phone 4 herself, so we could be communicating with each other while I'm in Rivers state.
Two months has passed, not even a call from her. I was heartbroken. I decided to move on with my life. It wasn't quite Long, I got a job in an oil company due to my mum's connection. My mom was a politician, so it was easy securing a well paid job and in a space of one year, I made so much money.
I was invited for a former coursemate wedding, I saw that as an opportunity to catch up with old friends back in university. The wedding was more like a reunion because I saw so many familiar faces , it was really fun hanging out with them. But among all, only one still had the power to blow my mind away. Her name was "Boma". Had a major crush on Her. We talked for a long time. Was happy she was still single and still loves fashion. That has always been her dream to be a fashion designer. After some months, we started dating, introduced her to my family, my parents loved her for me. I engaged her, built a gigantic place for her fashion display and was making preparations for the marriage.
Due to the preparations, I've missed several messages on facebook. I decided to go through them. There was one mail that took my attention. It said, please, is this Sammy that served in kogi state, please call me with this number 0803************ miracle". I froze. Immediately, I called the number but it was switched off. I kept calling the number for almost a month before it finally went through. I waited to hear the voice and it was miracle. I screamed with excitement and before we could finish exchanging pleasantries, she told me "I'm dire need of your help, I need to see you ". Her phone switched off. I knew something was wrong, picked some few things, leaving for kogi state the next day. I got to kogi, went to her house couldn't find her there, went to the restaurant she works, the first place we ever met, she was nowhere to be found. Her boss could recall my face, she welcomed me and told me everything miracle has been passing through since I left, how she got pregnant and how her parents chased her from the house for not telling them who the father of the child was.. The boss was really helpful and was able to tell me were to locate her in the neighbouring community. I got there, saw miracle in a bad shape. She hugged me with tears in her eyes. "Why didn't you call me all this years"? She said she was trying to forget me, only for her to find out few weeks later she was pregnant for my baby... As she was crying, explaining what she has been going through, I saw a baby run towards her, saying "mummy sorry". I looked at the baby, he was my carbon copy. He'd my small eyes. I was so touched, tears came out of my eyes. I promised to rent a big apartment for her there in kogi, she declined and said she can't stay here again, that her Image has been tarnished already. I explained to her that I can't take her to Rivers state, that I am engaged and wedding coming up in a month time. She pleaded with me and promised not to interfere with my marriage. I accepted. Took her to Portharcourt, rented a lovely apartment for her and a car. Soon, she was coming back to old self and has enrolled junior in school. (She named him after me).
My wife "Boma" has been suspecting some funny play but I kept telling her everything was fine. Its been seven months now, since miracle came to Portharcourt, so I decided to stop at her place after my official assignment. Seeing her again, brought back memories of the first day I saw her in the restaurant, I tried to shake off those memories from my head. To make things worst, she served me Rice and chicken ( the first food, I ordered when we met). I realised I was still deeply in love with this girl after all this years. After the food, she showed me round her apartment, showed me were Junior was sleeping in his room. to cut the story short, we made love again.
I got back home the next day, couldn't find my wife. my mum called me, to her house, only to find my wife with her. I knew I'd a lot of explaining to do. I cooked up a story about a colleague party, for them to get them off my back. As I was taking my wife home, my mom insisted to see me later after I dropped my wife. I came back later to see my mum, only for her to tell me she doesn't believe the bullshit I told my wife and begged me to confide in her. I finally succumbed and told my mom everything leaving no stone unturned. Out of rage, my mum dragged me to miracles house to threaten her.
My mom and I arrived miracles home. I knocked and miracle opened the door and said "sweetie, I was just....... " my mom attacked her, "who the hell is your sweetie, I'll arrest you, if you don't leave Portharcourt " at the top of her voice. Next thing junior came into the room crying... My mom saw him and said "oh my God, Sammy!!" . There was silence for a minute. My mom said "the deed has been done, if you truly love my son, you Will have to let him go. I was really mad but now I don't have to show it because of the baby, he's innocent. First thing tomorrow, I'll send my driver to take you to Abuja, until I get both of you visa's to the USA." my mom left the house and said she's waiting for me in the car. I kissed miracle one last time and hugged my son for a long time.
The following day, everything turned back to normal. I know I'll learn to love Boma but I can't love her the way I love miracle. Miracle lives happily in USA and once in awhile we still talked and she still promise to wait for me. My wife and I had a pretty daughter.
I know what happened was a mistake and still a secret. Should I tell my wife about miracle and my son..
The End!!!!
