Episode 13
âBoyfriend! Tell me you are kiddingâ
âwhy do you sound like i committed murder or somethingâ
âhello, to me this is worse than murderâ
âwhatâ
âwhy will you be living with someone who isnât married to youâ she asked me puzzling me.
âwe will soon get marriedâ i said trying to justify what i did.
âsoon? Oh no, tell me you are not falling for that word âsoonâ
âtrust me! Kelvin is a nice personâ
âKelvin as in Kelvin the Director of KISS Modelling Agency, as in Bellaâs bossâ she asked me.
âyes, and he is a very nice personâ
âsorry to say but i donât like that guy, i heard that he was involved with my sister, i mean Bella sometimes last yearâ
âIs Bella your sisterâ i asked changing the topic.
âisnât it obvious, she is my step sisterâ
âwow, no wonder you two donât like each otherâ
âi donât hate herâ she defended.
âhow come she is a full blown Nigerian and you are a half-casteâ
âwhich one is half-caste again, am biracial not a half-casteâ she asked feigning annoyance.
âsorry, that is what we call it here but please answer the question i am curiousâ
âwell, my mum is from canada, she is a canadian, she met Bellaâs dad when he came for a degree programme in Canada and they started dating, and he promised her heaven on earth and before you know it they were living together and with the hope of getting married to him my mum was sleeping with him and before you know it she took in five months prior to when he would complete his programme there, he asked her to abort the pregnancy but my mum refused and his behaviour towards her changed completelyâ
âyou mean like love gone sourâ i asked.
âexactly! So after he completed the programme he left Canada and returned to Nigeria, after promising to come back for my mum, my innocent mother waited and waited for three years but there was no sign of him. So she traced him down to his house in Nigeria through the help of his friends, when she came here she was shocked to see that he was a married man, married with two kids a boy and girl. Bella and her elder brother.
âi can imagine how hard it was on herâ i put in.
âshe was devastated, and out of anger she left me with him and left, well, his wife made my life a living hell, as i was more intelligent than her two kids and many people loved me more because of my skin colour.
âiâm so sorry about thatâ
âwell, itâs not anyoneâs fault, i donât blame anybody, i lived with them for three years until my mum got married to her high school crush, a biracial too, and they came and took me away from the hell i was living inâ
âso how come the different surnamesâ
âMy mumâs husband adopted me legally and gave me his last name and that was how my horror filled life turned into a happiness filled lifeâ
âwow, that was an inspiring storyâ
âyou are really funny, now you know why i hate the idea of you living with someone who is not your husband, he can disappoint you at anytime after using you to satisfy his sexual desiresâ
âKelvin is differentâ i said.
âmy mum once said thatâ
âtrust me, he is differentâ
âitâs not like i donât trust you but as they say, prevention is better than cure, get your own small apartment and stay there until he marries you then you can proudly move into his apartment as his wife, with respect, i really hate premarital s-xâ
âKelvin will not be happy if i do thatâ
âi feel like itâs my mumâs story that is playing out infront of me again, Becky, a guy promising you marriage doesnât mean that he will marry you, people break promises at any time they likeâ
âI will think about itâ
âbe fast about that, if you donât have enough money to get an apartment then you can move in with me, i stay alone, not very far from youâ
âhuh, what do you mean by thatâ
âI stay in Victoria Island tooâ she said smiling.
âam not surprised, you are richâ
âNo, my father is richâ
âyou mean Bellaâs dadâ I asked
âNo, i donât mean the sperm donor, i mean my father, a father is someone who loves and cherish you not necessarily the one who got your mother pregnantâ she explained.
âyou are right about thatâ
âLetâs head home, am really exhaustedâ she said and got up and i packed my things and followed her.
âwait a minute, let me get my bag from my dressing roomâ
âalrightâ
she went in while i waited at the hallway. She came out few minutes later with her handbag and a black bagpack strapped to her back.
âi am curious about some thingâ
âwhat is itâ
âwhy are you enemies with Bellaâ i asked
âAm not her enemy, she clarified âi got here through hardwork and she got her by sleeping around, so that is why i am angry whenever she bragsâ
âhow do you meanâ
âstory for another dayâ she said smiling.
We soon got to the car park and she got into her car and drove off but not without telling me to think thoroughly about what she told me earlier.
