I can still remember him. I think I was so much into him that I cannot remember how he toasted me. You know how is it when you like a boy so much and you try to catch his attention.
Being my elder brother’s good friend, it was like a taboo to date one’s elder brother’s friend. The elder brother would beat both the friend and his sister. That was the sort of position I was in.
Anyways, I still collected the beatings, because when you are blinded by love, you would stick with the boy no matter what comes in-between. And eventually, we were so in love for a long time.
I took a while to tie the knot with the father of my baby, because we want- ed to make sure that we were getting married for the right reasons. That is the best way I can explain it. We were in love before we had a child together and we were still seeing each other after I gave birth to my first child.
We wanted to be sure that we were truly in love, because we really did not have time to get to know each other before I got pregnant. When I got pregnant, he did the manly thing. He stood by me and supported me.
I would have felt bad if we got married because we had a child together and ended up hating one another eventually. We had to be sure it would work out and I am very happy that it finally worked out.
