This a story of my true life experience, so I grew up to be the only gal, in my fathers house (Mr. Chinedu) he loved all his children including me so darely and much, that there was nothing he did not do to make us glad.
Being a young gal, I had crushed on many guys until, I got to a stage where I was actually dieing for this guy as adolescent slance would put. Well God was actually not my mate, knowing that, those feelings where going to terminate my life or put me in corners I couldn't count. He exposed it. My parents honestly didn't find that funny, neither did I. my dad made matters worst by telling me if at any point you get pregnant at this age I would marry you off to an old man in the village and that's all for your education.
This was happening on the 10th of December 2017, it really affected me until the next day at about 7:30 am after our usually attended evening prayer. My God father called me and my parents, he asked me few questions which I'd answered, one of which was
Do you intend to further your education? of course a capital "Yes" was my response why wouldn't I want to further I had just rounded up senior secondary school that same year. so why won't I want to further.
Then he told my parent of how the same guy I called my friend, told him, I was wooing him. Eh, vex and anger wan kill me that moment, but I actually was surprised and sad, I lost strength to defend myself, plus the faces of my parents looked like an angry mob preparing to hit a thief, to avoid that open disgrace, I just shut my mouth. Many other things was said, e just be like say them plan to spoil my relationship with my parents, especially my dad.
My dad was already boiling like a filled whistling kettle, i didn't need a an announcement I knew those words would never sit well with my dad that, his girl who just rounded up her senior school exam was about to destroy her life over some adolescent madness. Immediately we got home I faced the panel of my dads judgement, he beat the hell out of me and gave me a punishment to pick a pin as a minded person I literally would do any punishment but that specific punishment was my weak point and he knew that. My mom out of Shame just went about with her cooking, but at a point the minded me could not endure again oo, I took to my heels and ran back to my God father, who after much admonition and advice also heard my part of the story. He blamed me at first, but hearing my side understood and told me to avoid them. I was later taken back home and my dad was begged to let it slid, hmm Igbo man and only daughter obsession said he hasn't forgiven me, but was respecting his pastor, that's my God father.
Although, later on I apologized to him, though i did not tell him my part of the story, neither did i tell him it was a lie, that i never asked him out. I just wanted my dad back and yes, we became cool, he advised me against it and still made it clear that if I should get pregnant at that age he was going to marry me of to an older man of sixty. Ha who wan be old man wife, I respected myself ooo.
Fast forward to today my dad is now asking me is there any man in your life😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, and am like not yet. For my mind am like wetin this people want sef now that am avoiding man, you dey ask me whether anyone dey. nawa ooo🤣. but I did learn my lessons since then that not all smiles are real, but are pains and hatred, plus as a young girl amidst other things I've been through abstinence was the only way to helping me become Bette and concentrated.
