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.
