DIFFERENT DESTINIES.

By chayoma

                                             As our names differ so also do we have different destinies, even identical twins are not ruled out either, one of them could prosper more than the other, i have seen a set of twins, where the second made it big in life, the first could barely feed himself not to talk of feeding his immediate  family. nnenna had four sisters & a brother, she was the first girl, but her two younger sisters got married before her to rich men who helped the family financially. nnenna's immediate younger sister nkori whose husband was richer  set up a well stocked mini-mart for their mother & opened an electrical shop for their father.

                                                  nnenna was in a nursing school in her second year when she was called &  told that  her third sister who just finished her high school a year ago  had been spoken for & preparations were already in top gear for the forthcoming wedding, nnenna was moved to tears because her  younger sisters were getting married before her, though she was happy it was  good for the family but she was afraid of the tauntings of her mother, ever since her two younger sisters got married her mother had not let her be for a minute, each morning she would be greeted with the fact that her younger ones have gone to their husbands'  houses while she's still under her parents roof still eating their food.

                                                     she was a bit relieved when she got admission into the nursing school & left home temporally,  whenever nnenna was on holiday she would not go home she would hang around her friends homes, afraid to go home, dreading her mother's acidic tonque & ashamed to be the topic of discussion amongst the village gossips. she felt ashamed of herself, that her two younger sisters are married & now the third sister is about getting married while she, nnenna, the eldest is still single with not even a contending suitor. every night she would wet her pillow with tears begging God to give her a husband if not for anything else but to remove shame from her face.

                                                five years later, nnenna's kid sistter who was 22 years old & the last girl in the family got married & nnenna remained the only girl in the house, her four sisters haven gottten married with kids & living with their husbands. at this time nnenna was in her mid thirties & a mid-wife with a goverment hospital in her home town. she had become her mother's carricature, no day passes without her mother mocking her & calling her old cargo, clapping her hands in mockery to her face, telling her to go & marry, singing degrading songs in taunt against her.

                                        unable to take all the insults & heartrending words from her mother,  she decided to leave her home town & relocate to a city, but when she told her parents about her plan, her mother refused & started raining abuses on her telling her that she is the one that wants to bring shame to the family by refusing to go & get married like her younger sisters, eventually nnenna had her way & left her hometown for the city.

                                           nnenna felt bored that evening in her new house in the city & decided to take a stroll to relieve her mind, she had walked for about 20 minutes when  she noticed a car trailing her behind, she stopped for a while then continued after a few minutes, the car drove up to her & stopped besides her but she ignored it continuing with her walk, the driver of the car parked & came out, walked up to her, chatting her up, nnenna walked on & the stranger joined her, introducing himself.

                                          
                                           it turned out that mr godson a nigerian based in canada, who came home for the festive period & celebrations was just driving leisurely that evening when he sighted nnenna & liked her back profile, decided to chat her up. mr godson fell in love deeply with nnenna & proposed marriage to her two months after they met. they met their different families & wedding date was fixed, they eventually got married. three months later, nnenna joined her husband mr godson in canada, a happy & contented expecting mother.

                                                             
                                           this is for all those sisters who really desire to get married & who have been mocked because they have reached that peak in life & have no man in their lives yet to call a husband & it bothers them greatly, don't worry, this is your year, this christmas many ladies will get married, alot of tansalite babes, will get married to the men their heart desire who will appreciate & love them, this christmas. merry christmas to you all.
