CHAPTER 31

Nini.

Our Holiday in Dubai has finally come to an end. We returned to Nigeria and we went Dayo's  house.

He took me to meet his parents, wow! Such a wonderful family.

I was welcomed and we quickly got along, it's like we' ve met before.

Dayo had 3siblings, 2 boys and a girl.

 And his sister and his mom and I really got along.

Dayo and his family has always been an average family, so I could see why it was easy for Dayo to get on his feet easily.

His siblings responsibility are on their parent unlike most family in my country that first son shoulders lot of responsibility.

While we were eating the dinner at the dinning table, I was asked series of questions from my parents to my siblings, Educational level, my state and my tribe which I answered correctly except for not telling them my step mom isn't my mom because my mom wouldn't have done beyond things she's for to me.

I even thought they would be concern about me still being an undergraduate and getting married bit rather they encourage me and even told me stories of lots of people who had gotten married and have kids before graduating from the university and are working and still happily married.

I was just a year when mom passed away, she use to stay with her aunty in the compound my parents were staying then when she took the responsibility of taking care of me then, she use to be a teacher then according to the story I was told and after a year she moved in with my Dad.

She's one of a kind of step mom in the world and I wouldn't hurt her by saying she isn't my mom.

Even in the compound we stay people always credit her as one in a millions step mom, she's the best.

I have seen so many wicked step mom but my step mom is different.

Sometimes she even treats me better than her own biological daughter.

The following day before leaving Dayo's parents house , his parent urge us to make preparations quickly for the introduction and marriage.

His parents told us to kneel down and they blessed us before leaving back to Dayo's house.

In my country Introduction comes first before traditional marriage and white wedding.

Especially Dayo's mom who can't wait to welcome a daughter in law to  the family.

She can't wait to invite close and distant family members and friends to celebrate her son wedding with her and most especially the Owanbe things.

If you are a Nigerian you will understand this especially the Yoruba tribe, the system of wearing the same colour of clothes and headgear, showing of class as well.

It's her first celebration on a child while Dayo's Dad couldn't wait for grandchildren especially Dayo's mom.

Dayo's family saw us off to the car and Dayo ignites the car and we bid each other bye.

We both return to Dayo's home and went to our home at Ibadan the next day.

I came back home before going on a vacation with Dayo then, immediately we vacated from school. but since we return from our vacation I haven't returned home.

But this time we went to meet mom at her store,  I got down from Dayo's car and kneel down to greet mom according to our tradition while Dayo postrated then I could see that she was happy as we came and told us to sit on one of her bench then Dayo told her our intentions to get married at first she was being concern about my education but Dayo convinced her that marriage and having kids won't stop my Education.
