My Cousin
Who is going to help me overcome this trials?
What will I say and who will understand me?
Is it that am asking for so much? I didn't ask for this nor did i plan for it,but then i'm here and i have to face it but I still can't stop thinking and wondering why my mom married my dad even though he had three wives already.
Did she marry him because of his wealth or because she truly love him? Hmmmm ! I have to ask mother.
Maya said, Mummy please can I talk to you about something?
You know i am your last born,your one an only. Besides,you are my younger sister to remember i was named after your elder sister,so i deserve some respect, Maya jokingly said to her mom. What is it you naughty girl ? Whenever you sound like this i know you want something,i hope it's not money because i don't have,just go and meet your daddy. Maya's Mom said smiling back at Maya. No mummy,i don't need money,just that I've been thinking about how you met daddy and accepted to marry him,and how did you cope being his fourth wife ? I still find it hard to deal with the fact i am the 18th child out of 19 children,and you are the youngest among his wives. Tell me mother i want to know please.
I used to work in the same office with your father and he was a close friend to my best friend back then,I didn't marry your dad because of his money. I met someone who was richer than him and they both asked for my hand in marriage but as God wish, me and your dad were meant to be and we both love each other and that's why I'm still here,and God blessed me by giving me two kids,yourself and your elder sister. And by the way,your father couldn't get his eyes off me i am too pretty for him to let go. Mother said to Maya. Maya laughed and said mummy,you are over hyping yourself,i am sure you also couldn't get your eyes off him too. There's someone at the door it could be your sister or are you expecting anybody? Maya's mum said. I'm sure if it was my sister she would have entered because the door isn't locked. Hello who's there? come in the door is open, Maya said.
(Door opens) It's me Nina, good evening ma,how are you and how's everything going? I haven't heard from my friend in awhile that's why I'm here. I'm fine dear how are you and your parents, and how's school ? Hope they are all fine? It's been a while and i'm looking forward to seeing them this Christmas. Mayas mother replied. Mummy don't mind her she's been the one avoiding because she now has a boyfriend who's taking all her time,so i am no longer needed. She even said she won't invite me to her wedding when the time comes. Don't mind her said mayas Mom, you're such a naughty girl when will u grow up and stop being a pest? So this is how you trouble your friends too? Nina how do you manage to deal with your friend? Anyways you guys understand each other better,let me go to my room and let you guys gossip i'm sure you both have a lot of catching up to do with yourselves.
What's up with you dear what's the update? I can see how fresh you're looking, who's treating you well my friend ? what's the secret please tell me maybe I will look as good as you. Nothing much oh,i'm just in love my friend, finally I met someone who makes me feel special and treat me like a queen,actually like an egg,oh my goodness. I can't even tell you how happy he makes me feel,just the thought of having him in my life brings endless Joy to me said Maya.
Hehehehe my friend is in love. I want to know more,give me the full gist my friend am so happy for you,and i can't wait to meet this special one that's driving you u crazy Maya, how did you guys meet?
It's a long time my friend,cut it short please I really want to hear it from you,who knows if he has a friend that will be as nice as him or don't u want me to be happy to? So better start talking or I'll just pick up my bag and leave. Nina said.
Fine i'll tell you about it, i know you won't give up with out a fight! Do u remember the guy we met at the eatery on our way back from school? The guy that asked to give us a ride home and we both turned him down? Last two weeks I ran into him at the mall and we exchanged contact,infact you need to see the way he was begging me to let him pay for my stuffs and asked me to carry anything else but I turned him down, you know me I respect myself alot and I wouldn't want him to feel like I owe him anything. He has been calling and texting me me ever since, he's the 1st to call me in the morning,I wake up to his text, and the last person I talk to before going to bed. Nina he has my pictures on his status and as his wallpaper his just so romantic and so good to be true,sometimes i get scared you know? I don't want a situation where after letting myself fall for him then he will dump me. As much as he wants me i'm still not showing him how special he is to me,or that when my phone rings i wish he'd be the one calling,or when i close my eyes to sleep i see his face I feel his hands around me, he's everything i want Nina. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, i've never felt this way with anyone else and nobody has treated me this way in a long time, you won't understand my friend am sure he will call me or text me before you leave, you will see for yourself. While we wait for his call what can I offer you? so sorry am just asking,by the way you are no longer a visitor in this house you know your way around here.
What would you like to eat or drink? Maya asked Nina. Am not really hungry am fine with water except if you want to make something special for me. Nina replied.
