MARRIED TO MY TEACHER ( Fictional )

CHAPTER 1

My name is Joseph but my friends call me Mcmech. I want to share with you all my encounter with my class teacher who is now my wife.

Many years ago, I lived with my parents. I was the first among their five children ( 3 boys and 2 girls) we graduated only from primary school. Because our parents had no money to sponsor us in higher institutions. We had a small piece of land which we used in planting some of the crops we managed to sustain ourselves till the next planting season. Although, I was contented with what we had, but I was not happy due to the fact that my old classmates were already preparing for their final year exams. While I was still at home only hoping that God will surely answer my prayers at the right time. 

One day I decided to visit my friend Michael at school 🏫 🏫. When I got to the school, some of my mates were not able to recognize me. Some of them had not been able to set their eyes on me for the past 6 years. While some thought I graduated but how dirty I was made them not to believe their thoughts 

I called Michael aside to have a discussion with him about my situation. I told him how I have not been able to get admission due to my parents background... Before I could even finish my story, I noticed that Michael was already shedding tears. I could not help but burst out in tears also because of the agony in my heart. No one noticed what was going on, we controlled ourselves ( but the heart has no bone and the arrow of agony pierced directly to the deepest part of my heart ) and I had to shed out the agony.

Michael promised to help me if he could. He told me about his brother who is the manager of FanMilk company. He said he will discuss with him if their is any vacancy in his company, then he can fix me. I was glad when he said that. It seemed that was my happiest day on Earth. But I always believed that better days were coming.

When I got home, I was unable to sleep throughout that night. It seemed I was checking my clock after 30, 30 minutes. I woke up before everyone that morning and I went straight to our living room for the morning family prayers. Before anyone could get there, I was already singing the morning praises. After the morning prayers, I took my bath and told my parents I was going to meet a friend. When asked about breakfast, I told them that I was not hungry.

When I got to the school, the students were already on the assembly ground so I had to go back until they close before I will be able to see any student. But going back was the last thought in my mind. I stayed there for 7 hours without food nor water.

When they finally closed, I Rushed to see Michael. He smiled when he saw me and told me that his brother accepted to employ me. Immediately I heard accepted, I started laughing, I laughed the best laugh of my life. But he cut me short by saying there's a problem. I was half dead when he said that but I managed to ask him what the problem was. To my greatest surprise, his reply was " the only vacancy available is that of a hawker ". I was amazed when he said that. I said in my mind "Just de play" he never knew I will even be happy if I am employed as a toilet cleaner in that company.

After our discussion, I followed him to the company and his brother offered me the Job and I was granted the permission to resume work the following day.Immediately the manager permitted us to go, I rushed home to inform my parents about the good news. When I got home, my parents were very angry at me for living home for a long time without telling them the actual place I was going. Although it was my fault but I never taught I will stay for a long time. I apologized  to them for not going home on time. They forgave me and warned me not to keep them worried again. My younger sister served me the lunch that was prepared for me. It seemed the taste of that of that food was the best taste in a food.

Later that night, I went to my parents to inform them about my hustle. I thought they will even be more happy than I, but I was shocked when my dad was against it. I tried to make him understand, reminding him of how I have not been myself seeing my mates in school while I was still at home. But my dad is the type that once he says NO it stands.

My mother asked me to go to my room. She promised to talk to my dad and make him change his decision. I knew that my dad was only ashamed seeing his children going through much stress. And sometimes he was even ashamed of looking at our faces knowing fully well that he cannot Carter for our needs.

I went to bed that night in a sad mood. I wept bitterly to the extent that I had a slight headache. But a voice said to me in my heart ❤️❤️ " Tears cannot solve any problem right now. This is the time to decide what is right and abide by it ". Immediately the taught ran through my mind, I wiped my tears and Said to myself " I have never disobeyed you dad, but I don't think this is the right time to abide by your decision ".

I was not having the qualities of a grown up adult. Although I was 17 years but, what if my dad throws me out of his house... " I thought ". I was scared but I remembered what he always says " one cannot wake up one day and decide to be an adult. He must start from somewhere and learn how to take care of his responsibilities as a man ".

The Next day, I woke up very early before anyone could and I went to work without taking my bath because I never wanted anyone to notice what was going on. When I got to my workplace, I was very happy. I forgot the troubles at home and I felt as if I was in another word. It could be, because that was my first time working on my own to earn some cash. I and some hawkers were given some push carts which were used in hawking the FanMilk.

My day was stressful but I was contented with it. I knew it was just a matter of time and I was going to get used to it.

Later that evening, we all returned to the company with the Left over milks and the money for the sales of the day. I was shocked when my manager recommended my sale as the highest sale of the day. And that gave me more morale. I totally forgot that my dad was against my decision and I left home without informing anyone.

On my way back home, I saw my dad standing outside our compound when I got close to our home. He stood just like someone who who is worried about something. But I was not much worried because I never wanted to spoil my happy mood. When I got close to him, he was shocked when he saw me, the next thing that came out of his mouth was " where have you been? " Immediately, I remembered what I did, but before I could open my mouth to defend myself, a heavy slap landed on my face. Before I could even apologize, another heavy slap landed on my left eye. I received a thorough beating that night. I was not given any food, neither was I allowed to take my bath and sleep inside. I slept on the cold corridor outside.

The next morning, my dad  came to where I was sleeping very early and woke me up to get inside. I was scared thinking maybe he wanted to just kill inside but I followed him because he sounded in a sympathetic way. He served me water to have my bath. He also gave me bread and a warm coffee. Meanwhile my siblings and my mom where still asleep. I sat with my dad to have a man to man discussion. But that was my first time sitting with him to have a discussion without my mom. He confessed to me that my mom pleaded on my behalf and he accepted to let me do the work, Since he has not been able to take care of us. That alone gave him sleepless nights. But when they woke up yesterday, I was nowhere to be found.

That was my mistake, I would of waited for them to wake up since my mom promised to talk to him on my behalf

MARRIED TO MY TEACHER 

Chapter 3

My parents gave me their blessings and I resumed work as a full personnel. I was dedicated to my work. I never allowed anything illegal to come between my work. In as much as I was always busy with work, I never forsakes my God. Because I believed the saying " in anything you do, put God first and it will work out successfully for you.

God was always on my side, I hawked on the street morning till evening but no vehicle ever brushed me, and I always returned home safely.

I hawked FanMilk for 3 years and the money I saved was more than enough for my admission. My parents never spent a penny from the money, although I was saving it myself because they asked me to. Maybe they were testing me but, I am the type that even if you set 100 traps, I will not fall for any of them. 

My parents never allowed us to lack anything, they provided for our clothing and other stuffs. So the money I was been paid at work was still intact.

Within that period of three years, the money I saved was enough to pay my fees till I graduate from secondary school. But I asked myself, " if I enroll myself into a secondary school, what about my siblings? How can I be going to school while my younger ones will be at home? Will my attention be in the class? " I thought of what I will do and suddenly, a thought came to my mind. I said to myself " Clement has always wanted to be a mechanical engineer while Ephraim has always wanted to be a computer scientist. So the best option is to enroll clement at ogah Sunny Mechanic village and Ephraim at Climax computer cafe. While my two sisters will manage either hair dressing or tailoring, whatever they choose ". I was happy about that decision. That was my best decision since I became an adult and I knew there were no mistakes in it because I felt it.

But the money was not as expected again, so I had to be going to work sometimes if my school dismisses on time.

I discussed my plans with my parents, they were very happy, they never knew I can save such money from the little hawking business ( but consistency and a pure heart ❤️❤️ did it for me ). They knew I would never disappoint them but how I managed to save that money was what they found difficult to understand. From that day on, my dad never called me Joseph again, he was calling me by My nickname Mcmech ( meaning Honorable ). That's to say that my dad was the one that nicknamed me Mcmech which some of my friends call me today.

On the 12th day of the month of September, all schools resumed, I went with my dad to Trinity college for my admission procedures. I was scared when they headmaster told me that I will be interviewed before been admitted into J.S.S 1. I thought I won't be able to answer any of his questions. But I gathered all the courage to overcome my fear. I answered all his questions bravely. Due to how brave I was and my age, the headmaster advised my father to at least admit me  into J.S.S. 2. But I said NO because I was not just to school to graduate but I was going to school because I wanted to achieve something.

The next day, I went to work to inform my boss that I was to start school the following week. He was happy for me, though he was going to miss his best hawker because he considered me as one. But I had to be going to work sometimes inorder not to run out of cash in school.

I resumed school the following week been my first day at school after 8 years. I never thought the uniform will be good on me, but it was not looking bad on  me.

I was admitted into J.S.S 1C . The whole of J.S.S 1 was full with kids. I was older than the student next to my age with 6 years. That made some of the arrogant students to be calling me all sorts of names ( names like " old Papa J.S.S 1 ). I never cared about what they were saying because some of the kids were very nice to me. They took me as their elder brother I always advised them to do what was right.

I was not doing too well at school because of the stress at home and sometimes at work since my siblings were not always around.

But my school record was average. That is to say say that, I was not the best student neither was I the worst student but I was good at what I was doing.  In as much as I was not too brilliant, most of the teachers liked we because I was a kind and respectful and student. Some of the teachers thought I will be be bullying the kids since I was far older than them, but their thoughts turned out to be negative thoughts. Although sometimes I got angry at the kids but I never reacted nor showed them any sign that I was mad at them because hurting them will not add any value to my life rather it will it will bring shame and disgrace.

Just as it's said " time waits for no one ", we were almost graduating from J. S.S 1 and it seemed my mates were getting fond of me. The arrogant kids never called me bad names nor insulted me. Rather, they sometimes begged me to join them in their little sports.

Third term was already over, and we were having a big graduation ceremony and prize giving day for the J.S.S 3 and S.S.S 3 graduating students.

I was given the prize of " the neatest and humble student of the year " in  J.S.S 1. Many people began murmuring when the heard J.S.S 1. Even the M.C taught maybe it was a mistake from the school list. To me, it was not bad for someone at the age of 21 to be graduating from from J.S.S 1, because it was not my fault neither was it my parents fault. (Just as it is said in pidgin, " Na condition de make crayfish bend " ). Rather I blamed everything on the condition that God puts my family through.

The S.S.S 3 students were very happy that day. I wished I was at least one among the J.S.S 3 students that were graduating from junior classes to senior classes, that was impossible. " You don't wish to be graduating at the same time with a particular set of people when you know that they started before you", I said to myself without looking at anyone's face. That day was your indeed a blessed day for the graduating students.

Two years past and we were already in J.S.S 3. What I wished for years ago came to pass. Indeed time is the best solution in this world. I smiled and said to myself.

Everything was moving on well at Trinity college. All our teachers were trying their best to make sure we studied for the forthcoming BECE exam, but we were having a problem in science and technology. Our science and technology teacher relocated to a far distance with his family and he was unable to teach us for 2 weeks. We the entire J.S.S 3 students wrote a letter to the headmaster demanding for a new science and technology teacher.

Immediately the headmaster received our letter, he came to address us pleading with us to give the school 1 week and they will provide us with a new teacher. Although time was not much on our side again but he promised to provide a new teacher within a week so we waited to see the outcome.

Three days later, the headmaster walked into our class with a very beautiful and captivating lady. From the look of things, she could either be 20 or 21 years. But The question that troubles my heart ❤️❤️ was, " how was she able to graduate that young? Will she even teach us well?

We all stood up to greet our headmaster and the young lady that walked into our class. My mates thought maybe she was brought to our school for a project. But they were all shocked and at the same time happy when the headmaster introduced her as our new science and technology teacher. They all applauded for the headmaster for keeping his promise.

I only stood in the class like a moron staring at her when a voice said to me " at least we won't be left behind "  perhaps, it was John my classmate. I assumed I was not the one he was speaking with, I only stop their staring at her with anger imagining how a girl I am older than will be teaching me in a classroom not even at home. But one thing I failed to understand was that, knowledge is not by age.

I thought I hated her but everything changed when she introduced herself to us as Lizzy Dennis. Her voice ran through my mind just as a sound from the microphone that echoes from behind a large hall. " What a sweet angelic voice " I said to myself in a low tune.

I stood there staring at her lips but to be sincere, I heard nothing out of what she was saying. She asked us to introduce ourselves to her. And I was not even aware when it got to my turn. John had to tap me before I realized what was going on. I introduced myself as Joseph before I could pronounce my surname, my mates shouted " AKA Mcmech ". I could not help but smiled not because of what my mates said but because of her because her eyes were already on mine. Even when she left, I was still thinking what came over me because I never experienced such feelings in my life before, but there it came hurting my life for what I thought was impossible.

I could not help my feelings because it came as an evil spell that is been cast on someone. The only thing I had to do was to go home and rest my head from the stupid feelings. By 10 am, the bell for the morning break was rang, I quietly picked my bag and headed straight to the headmaster's office. I lied to him that I was not too strong and I had to go home. When he asked me to go to the first aid hall, I lied to him that my illness had something to do with tradition and when it starts, I will have to take herbal medicine or it will get worse. He was scared that maybe something will happen to me so he permitted me to go.

I did that not because I was a liar but I was no longer comfortable in the class, so the only solution was to go home and clear my Head from the madness coming over me all in the name of love ♥️♥️ at first sight. Something that I never believed in.

Later on, when she started teaching us, it seemed my assumptions were wrong because she taught us well ( my Mates said so ). And they seemed to understand her more than the former Science and Technology teacher.

But to me, I understood nothing out of what she used to teach. I wanted to tell her my feelings just to be a free man and learn well but I was scared. I asked myself " what if she gets angry and tell the headmaster, I will be expelled without waiting for my explanations. Even when she tries to explain something, instead of the words to pass through my ears, they do not. Rather, I only felt their vibrations in my heart ❤️❤️. Even when I tried to study her subjects at home, only her pretty face reflects through my brain. It got to some point were she was angry at me, maybe it was because I was not good at her subjects  but she never knew the reasons why I was unable to be good at her subject. I realized that she was not even comfortable anytime she was teaching us. Sometimes, she always ask me to leave the class when it was time for her lesson. Maybe that was also because I was not good at her subject. I tried to hate her for always telling me to leave the class when it was time for her lessons, but nothing worked. 

Being stranded not knowing what to do, I decided to take another dimension, I went to her and apologized for not been able to cope with her subject. She granted my pardon without even hesitating. It seemed she was waiting for my apology.

Since telling her my feelings was impossible, I decided to make her proud by  doing very well in her subject. And probably going close to her so that she can take me as a friend not just a student.

She was later assigned to be teaching physic in the senior classes since she was good at it. And she was glad doing it.

We wrote our BECE successfully and non of us failed. We all passed and promoted to SSS 1. I was very happy when I got to SSS 1, because I knew my very good friend will still be my teacher. But I was not able to do sciences because I was no familiar with their subjects and I decided to be an art student. That was simply because I never wanted to waste my time doing things that I was not good at.

Although Lizzy was no longer my class teacher but she was still my very good friend. Sometimes she visited me at home but I never visited her home because I never wanted her parents to think otherwise

Clement and Ephraim owned their personal shops by the time I graduated from secondary school. They used the little money they saved while working under their bosses to set up their working places. Although their businesses were not large but they were doing very well.

I graduated but I had nothing doing so I went back to the company to continue my hawking not even minding my age. My boss was not too young again but he was still working as our manager.

One day, he called me into his office to have a conversation with me. I thought maybe I did something wrong because I was always with him but  we never had a private discussion. When I entered his office, he asked me to sit on the guest seat. When I sat down, he began his conversation,

" Joseph my boy, you are the only man I trusted in this company, even my co-workers cannot gain the trust I have for you. Sometimes I wished you are my son, not that my children are bad children just that having you as one of my son would have made me more happier. Your parents are not that rich neither are they poor, but I have never heard you took something that doesn't belong to you. You might think I don't know anything about you because you never discussed your family background with me. But, I do. I always checked on you just to be sure that you doesn't pretend while being at work, but even your teachers in school confirmed to me that you are a good man. I am impressed about that".

I only sat there listening to him carefully because I never wanted to miss a word out of what he was saying. " You are neither getting younger just like me, so I want you to write JAMB. Because you and I don't know when your helper will come. Even if you don't have the money for the registration, I will give you". He interrupted my silence.

I was very happy when he said that. I thanked him for always been good to me.

I went home happily that day. when I got home, no one was around, my parents went to the market for trade while my siblings were still at work. It was boring for me staying at home alone but I never wanted to leave home to any of my friend's place.

I was having a nap on the parlour when I heard a knock on the door, I was weak but still furious to know who it was, so I had to open the door for who was knocking. When I opened it, I saw Lizzy. I was very happy. " now I have someone to talk to, " I said to her and smiled. She was happy seeing me too. I rushed into my room to bring out ludo game because I knew that was her favorite game.

We played Ludo for a long time while having our conversation until she got  tired. She told me she wanted to rest. To me, I will not be tired even if she keeps talking to me for a whole day.

I went outside to pick something and when I came back, she was deeply asleep, I looked at her pretty face and smiled. But my eyes were no longer ready to stop staring at her. The more I stared, the more the direction of my eyes were only on her lips. My heart ❤️❤️ started beating faster and I was no longer able to control it. I took my lips closer to kiss her so deeply, but when my lips were an inch to hers, she opened her eyes. She saw me but never reacted and she closed her eyes back. I was no longer scared, I still wanted to kiss her when my phone rang. The feelings went away and I whispered into her ears " sleep ".

I realized that she felt the same way and there was nothing to hid from her anymore. I confessed my feelings and it went well. That was how our love started and grew stronger . Sometimes when I was with her , she will be asking " how we got that deep in the love" .But how we started was no longer my problem .All I wanted was to give her all the love that any responsible man will give to his charming and lovely wife or girl.

I wrote JAMB successfully and when the results were released, I passed successfully. I was very happy, without showing the result to my parents, I rushed to our company and showed my boss the scores. He was very happy and he congratulated me . I smiled and said "sir now the part 1 is done,The only thing I am waiting for now is the helper which is the part 2. He smiled and replied "but the part 2 has already been signed". I thought maybe since I started the game he wanted to continue playing it with me . But I asked again "sir how " He replied Because I have already signed everything "to me the game was going farther but he sounded seriously. He showed me some documents that he signed. According to him, I will be given a scholarship to study in the university if I pass the JAMB successfully. 

I stood there speechless with tears in my eyes but he came close and hugged me. I was short of words not even knowing what I will say to him that will please him.

I later got to understand that the company gave him the documents to write any if his child's name and the company will assist him/her  in school just to show him some love for all he did to the company but,  instead he wrote my name.

I rushed home to tell my parents how God blessed us again, but When I got home I saw all my family members at the parlour as if they were having a meeting not knowing what was happening I went and sat close to my father silently.

Before I will understand what was going on they started clapping, My siblings came and hugged me . Perhaps Ephraim went through my JAMB results and announced my performance to them, I guessed. I smiled  "you are congratulating me for my good work so where did you think I will get money for admission." I asked just to get an answer. 

"Well  I will allow clement to answer this question" My father interrupted. 

Clement said, they were planning already immediately they were told I was writing my JAMB exams . 

It was at that moment that I broke the good news about my scholarship to them.and I told them to use whatever savings kept for my admission to move their business to it's standard.

That day was indeed a day of celebration.I failed to call Lizzy because I never wanted my parents to know what was going on between us at that moment.But I was shocked when she appeared In the house happily congratulating me. "I didn't call to tell you about anything so how did u get to know" I asked. she smiled and said "my father did". I was shocked because I thought my father was not aware of our relationship "indeed parents have many eyes " I whispered to her . She was not happy for what I did,I knew it was my fault but it was because I was not ready to tell my parents that moment.

I apologized to her in front of my siblings and my parents because there was nothing to hid anymore. Although they knew but I had to tell them my self, I introduced her to my parents as the woman after my heart .The only woman that showed me true love.

We were no longer celebrating one thing but two things at a time, my success and my fiance.

I was given admission to study business management and I had to resume school a month later.

I went to inform my boss and he told me that Micheal will return from England a week before my resumption I felt I was on top of the world that day ,I wished the day was that moment. 

Since he left to England for his Aeronautical engineering courses, I always wished to see him to give some words of appreciation for all he has done in my life. " So after so many years, I  will see my helper and Friend again"........ 

A week to my resumption date, Michael returned from England, I was very happy when the news of his return got to me.

I, Clement and Cynthia my younger sis went to see him since we were the only family that knew him that much when he was around.

When we got to the house, my boss Welcomed us and we were taken to the dinning table were some family members were sitting.

Minutes later, Michael came to join us at the dinning table. When I saw him, I was not able to recognize him at first sight. Michael the little boy turned to a full grown handsome man. He was handsome more than ever but the face was not completely gone.

I thought maybe it was his elder bro but my spirit kept diverting me to his position.  Asking him if he is Michael will be a shame because we grew up together and we were very good friends.

Not knowing what to do, I decided to do the style we always did while we were kids. I decided to shout Michael hoping that if no one answers, then I will divert it to, " where is Michael ".

I shouted " Michael " because I already forgot that we were on the dinning. Immediately he heard Michael, he turned and asked " Mcmech is that you?" , I forgot your face but I cannot forget that voice that kept telling me to follow the right path when we were still kids." 

"Yes  it's me" I replied.

It was at that moment that my siblings realized it was Michael. My appetite for the food was gone when I realized it was Michael. "At least I can see that my very good friend is doing well " I said to myself.

We went and sat on the Sofa gisting about our childhood memories when I saw Lizzy serving juice to the people on the dinning table. At first, I thought maybe the lady and Lizzy were just alike, "but even if I see Lizzy in the dark, I will still recognize her. That's Lizzy".  I said to myself.

" So you still remember Lizzy my uncle's daughter " Michael asked.

My heart skipped its beat when I heard that, " So Lizzy my old time primary school friend is my boss' youngest daughter ", I murmured. I was scared of how my boss will react if he finds out that I have been dating his daughter for a while but I never visited to see her parents. At least for them to know that I am their daughter's friend. Or will he say I took her daughter as my sex doll, that was why I never visited? Though I never had sex with her since we started dating because I knew that  true love is not all about sex but how we cooperate and love ourselves until they are married. Sometimes the feelings arise because we humans have blood running in our veins, but self control is the only solution.

Many questions were running through my mind, when Lizzy came with her dad (my boss) to where I was sitting with Michael. I was unable to open my mouth and talk to her because fear gripped my body. I thought that was the end of my good relationship with my boss.

It was my fault since I failed to visit her parents but I never knew her dad was Dennis (my boss).

I failed to visit her parents because I wanted to at least have something doing before going to see her parents. I loved her so much to the extent that I was thinking maybe her parents will tag me as a poor man and resist me from marrying their daughter. Although that was a stupid reason.

I was thinking of how I will apologize to him when he interrupted, " when will you learn how to overcome your fears ", he asked.

I kept quiet.

" You don't have to be sorry because I knew before Lizzy told me and I don't have any grudges against you." He said.

" Sir it's my fault, I failed to ask more about her family. Maybe been my first relationship, I forgot. I am sorry sir. " I apologized.

My boss was not mad at me, indeed he is a very good man.

Lizzy came close to me and hugged me tight " I am so sorry babe for my mistakes, it might seem I don't care about your family but I do care." I whispered to her.

" I understand you don't have to feel sorry anymore, my dad explained everything to me when I told him that you never asked of my family." She replied.

That was the biggest mistake I did, from girlfriend to fiance and it seemed I was not not concern with her family's well being.

When I sat and thought about that, I was very sorry because that's the biggest mistake any partner can do. I promised myself never to do that mistake again.

Our visit to Michael's home was very nice that day, I learnt new things and I realized my mistakes. I think Clement and Cynthia does too because they were around when everything was going on.

A week later, it was time for my resumption, I imagined how I will be staying in the campus without my families and friends and not even my lovely Lizzy. I loved her with my life and she does same to me. I believed I was not going to break her heart. But something troubles my heart, will she wait for four good years for me? What if a billionaire snatches her away from me? 

Life at the university was not an easy task at all. At first, I was not able to cope but when I thought about my family background, I decided to try my best no matter the circumstances and obstacles that try to block my way to success.

I was facing many challenges and temptations from school. Among which was that of Ms Dina. This woman was old enough to be my mother and she kept luring me into something I knew will torment my life. At first, I took her as my mom because she was my Lecturer but everything turned out negatively. She threatened to fail my course if I refuse to lay with her.

I thought she was drunk when she first said that because, I never imagined that someone that's old enough to be my mom will persuade me to commit such atrocity. But she kept on persuading me.

It seemed I was out of my mind because Dina was a woman that most of the lecturers were scared of, she can do and undo things that were beyond human imaginations.

I decided to avoid her but, she kept on following any step I took. Things were getting out of hand and there was nothing I could do. Not as if I was the only man in the school, nor the most handsome student. It seemed she only wanted to frustrate my life.

Most of the lecturers were against me. Maybe Lizzy lied to them concerning me. I almost left school because my spirit was weak but I said to myself " the devil is a liar. " I called on the name of the Lord Almighty to please deliver me from the snares of my enemies and he heard my prayer.

One Tuesday morning, we heard that Ms Dina was driving to school when her car step on a mud and it splashed on a man standing by the road side. Unknown to her, he was a Police chief Officer. The man complained that at least she would have stopped the car to apologize but before he could complete his sentence, she slapped him. The man ordered for her arrest and she was arrested immediately.

After the charges in court, she was signed 2 years imprisonment.

I thought I was the only one Ms Dina was frustrating. But guess what? I was surprised when some of the guys were celebrating for their freedom since the Delilah was taken away.

The rest of my days at the campus were awesome without Ms Dina.

I graduated successfully from school.

My siblings made a very big feast for me and they were doing very well in their businesses.

During my stay in school Michael got married to sister Cynthia. How their love started was unknown to me but I knew that our family were bonded together strongly in marriage. Because probably I was going to Marry her Niece.

After my service and practicals, Mr Dennis ( my boss) called me to the company for some interview. When I got there, I saw many responsible men sitting on the administrative table, and I was asked to join them.

" He is indeed good for that position " one of the men recommended focusing on my direction. " So Mr Dennis, this is the young man you told us that he is coming to represent you right ", the other man asked and his answer was yes.

After they interviewed me, Mr Dennis signed me as his representative since he was old enough for retirement. I was given a 3 bedroom flat with a Toyota Camry.

All those while, Lizzy never left me, she kept supporting me. Even when it seemed all my hopes were gone.

We planned our wedding together and with the help of my in-laws, families and friends, everything went on well.

My marriage with Lizzy is the best thing that thing that ever occur in my life. Because having her by my side makes everything -100% difficult. The almighty God changed my life from 0% to 100%.

I thanked him and I will keep on Thanking him for bringing Michael into my life because without him, I wouldn't have been able to meet Mr Dennis neither my belove wife, the mother of my kids.

God is indeed merciful to those who serve him in spirit and in truth.
