This story of mine is real, painful and still fresh in my memory. I met this guy when I gained admission into college. His name is Zeal. I was not really ready for any relationship my mind was all about getting a good grade while in school.
He was in the company of a group of guys that you can call big boys.. He sighted me and and came straight to me. What I really liked about him was his audacity. Even though I turned down his proposal, still he kept pushing and pushing. He didn't give up in his proposal. He will send his friends to me and anytime he was around my campus, he really made me know that he was around.
After a while, he stopped coming around and I later heard from a friend of his that he's graduated and left the state where I was. I finished in college and I was able to get a part time job in my state. I needed money to further my education. During this time, I met another guy whose name is Ken. I never liked him at first because, he was too pompous and too old for me. I was only 20yrs but he insisted and did something that made me change my perception about him.
I was at my friend's place one day when I had ulcer crisis and he was just to be there. I couldn't move or walk then. He carried me and took me to a nearby hospital. Since then, he became a regular visitor at my place. Before I knew it, he became my first man and the center of my world.
He was working with an oil servicing company then.
Ken never permitted me to be on my own. Always there to take me out for lunch. It got to a point that he asked me to marry him. I was still very young and I wanted to further my education. Besides that, he was 10 years older than me so age was no longer on his side. I wanted to become somebody and have a good job of my own before getting married but Ken was not ready to see things my own way. He felt bad and we parted ways.
While I was doing a part time job, there was this woman in my company who treated me like her own daughter. I confided in her and she said I took the right decision. That when I become somebody in life, I would be able to marry any man that I want and that I am still very young to go into marriage.
I headed her advice and went back to school after saving enough money from my part time job. After about two years the woman sent for me and asked me to see her. During my vacation, I visited her and she said she wanted to have a heart to heart talk with me. The long and short of her discussion is that, she has a son whom I have never met or seen before and she wanted me to get to meet him.
Guess what? Her dear son turned out to be Zeal the guy that was pestering me way back in college. I was so surprised because I never thought our paths could cross again. I didn't know I've been communicating with his mum all along. He left the country after his graduation from college to also further his education. He told me how his mum has been telling him about a young pretty girl ( which I believe I am not). It was difficult to turn down his proposal this time around and that was how we started a relationship which ended up at the altar. Today we are happily married and expecting our first baby.
