What Should I Do by Lilshaddy(m): 11:59pm On Mar 29, 2012

I actually don’t know where to
start my story from. But I know
Mandy and I are in this mess
because of my jealousy years
ago. This was how it all started.
My name is Bobby. Mandy and I
have been dating for about
eights years now. Both families
knew about our relationship and
there was no doubt that we
would get married when we are
ready to settle down. Precisely
in the fifth year of our
relationship, I had gone to visit
Mandy at home when I saw her
with two young men and her
other siblings.
Mandy hardly noticed my
presence ,the three hours I was
with them. She was so
engrossed with the two men,
especially the one called
Anthony. They talked and
whispered into each other’s ear
occasionally as if they were
lovers. I was not too
comfortable but I had to behave
like a man - hide my jealousy. I
partook in all the discussions
from politics to football, played
games and even had lunch
together.
All the time we were all
together, Mandy did not
introduce me to the young men
and that bothered me so much.
“Mandy did not introduce me to
these guys. Am I not presentable
enough or is there something
she is hiding?” I asked myself.
For the first time, I did not get
any attention from Mandy, this
was usual.
I left them there and went
home; she just saw me off to
the doorstep, gave me a hug
and promised to call me later in
the evening. I waited for her call
but she did not and because I
was so angry and jealous, I
refused to call her either even
though I was dying to hear her
voice and was anxious to know
who those guys were. While
contemplating whether to call
Mandy or not, I did not know
when I slept off.
I dreamt that Mandy was
walking down the aisle with
Anthony in a grand style and
when I accosted her that I was
the right man for her, she told
me she thought she loved me
but sincerely she does not and
was sure I am not man enough
for her. While I was pleading with
her not to leave me, my alarm
rang. I was sweating profusely
when I woke up. “God, what kind
of dream is this? Is Mandy really
planning to leave me?” I put
aside the dream and got ready
for work. At about 7:30 a.m.
Mandy called me and apologised
that she slept off. That day at
work, I couldn’t concentrate
because I was really disturbed
by the dream.
At about 3:00 p.m., I called
Mandy and told her I would take
her home after work and she
said that was a good idea. At
exactly 6:10 p.m., I was at her
office and as we drove to her
house, I took the opportunity to
ask her who Anthony was. She
told me he was a childhood
friend and an ex-boyfriend.
She explained to me that she
broke up with him after she
caught him cheating on her with
her best friend and that He
suddenly travelled out of the
country and they lost contact
further stating that To be
honest, they saw each other
again for the first time after 12
years the day i met him in her
house.”
out of redhot jealousy, I asked
her if she still loved him and she
said “No, but that they are still
friends. Look, there wasn’t
anyway that I couldn’t have
seen it, It was very transparent
enough that Anthony was still in
love with her even if Mandy did
not see. I saw it, I am a man so
I know. I was so scared that she
may leave me at any time, so
three days later, I suggested
that we took an oath to be
together forever……
Yes I said so…..i was too jealous
and insecure about my self and I
thought I was going to loose
her…. So I asked her for it to be
done and people guess what
happened….!
She refused to talk to me for
more than two weeks. One
Friday evening, she called to
inform she would spend the
weekend at my place so that
we would have the opportunity
to talk things out. I felt it was a
pleasant idea. The weekend was
splendid. Mandy agreed to take
the oath, if that would put to
rest, my fear about her leaving
me for Anthony or any other
man. I cut our right thumbs with
a new blade, with blood coming
out.
We pressed it against each
other’s hand and said one after
the other, “As long as I alive, I
will marry you. If I marry
another, I shall die. The only
thing that would separate us is
death.” I thought this act would
keep us together for life until a
few weeks back. We both
decided that it was time to
settle down and live happily
ever after until we were asked
to go for a series of medical
tests as it is one of the
requirements to get married in
her parents’ church. so, we
were told the particular hospital
to go for the test.
We went to the hospital with
the sealed envelope we were
given from the church. We saw
the Chief Medical Director who
asked us to go to the
laboratory where we will be
attended to. Our blood sample
was taken and at the end, we
were told that the result would
be sent to the pastoral unit of
the church. Three days later, I
received a phone call from the
head pastor to come with
Mandy to the church that
evening.
When we got there, he informed
us that we cannot get married
based on medical grounds. So
shocked beyond words, I asked
him What the outcome of the
test was and At least we should
know why we couldnt get
married
And he told us that, the
outcome of the test showed
that our genotype is both AS.
And that If we ever got
married, we would only bring
children into this world that
would suffer as sicklers. Do you
want to give birth to sicklers?”
He told us that he would call
our parents and inform them of
the new development. I could
believe my ears, mandy almost
fainted… but that didn’t change
the fact that
he advised that it was better
we thought of calling off the
wedding to avoid future crisis.
A week later, Mandy and her
parents came over to my house
to see my parents about the
medical report. We all sat in our
sitting room and her father that
there was No doubt that Mandy
and I love each other dearly but
after due medical consultation
with mandy’s mother and they
have concluded that this
wedding slated for the 21st of
April next month should be called
off for the sake of their unborn
children.
my father agreed and Both
parents counseled us that we
could still remain friends but
must move on with our lives. We
both agreed but we knew it
was not going to be easy.
God, my dream has finally come
to reality. Mandy is finally taken
away from me. But then, I
remembered the oath we took.
“What will happen to us because
the oath was to be together
for forever?”
Time now has come for both of
them to get married and they
had to do test, which they did
and guess what, they both are
AS…..
The pastor, families have come
to a conclusion that the wedding
which is coming up on the 21st
of april will be called off so that
they don’t bring kids into this
world to suffer…
They all agreed but here is
what bobby has got to say in
the concluding part of his story…
Mandy came to see me in the
office two days later and
immediately she entered into my
office, she pulled me close and
asked, bobby, what about the
oath we took? What do we do?
And that she doesnt really care
if our genotype is AS or SS; and
that all she wants is to be my
wife. And what broke my heart
was when she asked me what I
wanted, I became weak and
stupid because I was responsible
for this mess.
“Honestly, I don’t know anymore.
As for the oath, I thought she
would leave me for Anthony
that was why I insisted. Now,
she still cannot be my wife. O
God, what have I done?.
Although the wedding had been
called off but we both insisted
that we must get married. The
question on every one’s lips is
why do we want to do this
against the odds?
Please advice, Do we tell our
parents about the oath? God
they would be so disappointed
or do we marry different people
and both die, or better still, get
married, bring sicklers into the
world and allow them to suffer?
As I write this piece, Mandy is
already a wreck and I am totally
confused. What do we do?

This is more than Superstory abi na thislife? Anyways oaths can be broken and if you still love each other go ahead and marry! Your kids won't all be SS! its been said that only one out of four kids of AS couples will be SS so its possible to have kids that ain't sickly! That oaths thing is totally dumb is love a do or die affair?

story no dey tire una?

if they say look before you leap, you'll fight them for advising you.

if they say your story no get coordination- from meeting your "girlfriend" with various guys on the bed or wherever, to going ahead to marry inspite of every warning sign saying dont do it- you'll get annoyed.

if they say read the right novels so you can make sense when you type, you'll say the country has bad leaders as if that explains it away?

is nl meant for semi-literates and half baked wannabees?

Bro, yansh her wink

Re: What Should I Do by ruffhandu: 2:31pm On Mar 30, 2012

Bro,
This should be a reversible action. The same way you took the oath, do the same way and pronounce the opposite “As long as I alive, I will NOT marry you. If I marry YOU, I shall die. The only thing that would KEEP us is LIFE.”
Simple! You made it, unmake it.
It's only difficult when one person wants to break it. Don't be afraid. Unless if you are bound by any other reason but oath.

Regards

Op,the oath was it in the name of God or Sango.
If it is God,go down in prayers,confess your sins and repent. God will forgive you.
If it is Sango.....tufiakwa!!!,boy, this gods no get remote controls oo. Na trial and error options

Re: What Should I Do by dgb4(m): 3:59pm On Mar 31, 2012

@poster,
am so sorry for ur predicament.

life is all about risk, if you really love her you can still get married and pray to God to non SS kids, ive seen 3 occasions where the couples didn't get SS kids, but they stopped after the 2nd child.
OR
you can go for breaking of covenant by a strong man of God.
