So I am sitting here beside him; the love of my life, but I am so confused and scared to the bones about our future. He is right for taking the realistic stance about the whole drama but I can't bring myself to be realistic at the moment.
Sorry I didn't say my name, I am Ofure Ominiabos and I think I am about to lose a part of me.
I met Dami at a conference held for medical practitioners in Port-Harcourt. At first, I never took notice of him not until he mistakenly stepped on my foot while trying to get registered like the rest of us present there.
I was about to give who ever had stepped on me a piece of my mind when I looked up and met a very "handsome-sorry" face staring right at me. I couldn't help but smile and let go. After the registrations I walked up to my assigned room to prepare for the first lecture.
Arriving the lecture hall, I took a sit, somewhere close to the door so I could easily slip out if I wanted to. Someone came right up to sit with me. I turned to see who and lo, it was him.
"Hi I am Dami, the jerk who stepped on you earlier" he said with a smile.
I swear I have never been so drawn to a smile before but his, captured my attention. I didnt hestitate in giving him my contact when he asked. For the rest of the conference, we were seat buddies. From seat buddies at a conference, we evolved into an item.
Dami showed me so much love that I was never aware anyone could. Although it was a distant relationship, we always found a way around it. I fell hopelessly inlove with him, I just couldn't help it. Three years into the relationship, he felt it was time his parents knew about me since his siblings already did.
I was so excited about stepping into a new stage in life with him. On the said day, I dressed my best like I was going to see my pastor (lol). Stepping into his family house, I was welcomed with a warm hug from his mum and a smile from his dad. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
My happiness was however short lived when I began to answer some subtle questions about myself.
"What did you say your mum's name is again?" Dami's father Chief Otunba asked.
"Regina Ominiabos sir" I answered cheerfully.
"And she is a nurse?"
"Yes sir"
"She lived in Kano during her younger years?"
"Yes sir, how did you know?" I innocently asked.
A question I never knew had the power to ruffle my calm life.
Two days after meeting his parents, Dami called me crying and saying he was sorry. I wondered why he was crying and asked to meet so we could talk.
Now here we are, he is sitting beside me telling me things that are about to drive me mad! How can I be his Sister?! How?! I am urohobo he is a yoruba.
Chief said he is my father. He said he had an affair with my mum back in the day and as soon as I was concieved, his wife found out about the affair and demanded he put an end to it which he did.
But how can that be when my mum told me my dad died some months before I was born, how?!
Dami wants us to end the relationship. He says its the realistic thing to do. But I can't for the life of me let him go.
HELP I AM ABOUT TO LOSE A PART OF ME!
