Fragments of truth...I

"if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those sweet words pierced through my heart and vented out of my mouth. How could he say such a thing? How could he possibly mean it?...no!

The following is purely fiction. I'll like to term my style of writing as descriptive narrative (conversational). Its highly imaginative. With some uncategorized lingua (i.e coded phrases), this style of writing is in an attempt to confer familiarity between you and the characters. This piece centers upon the Nigerian (and even African) value which has been slowly deleted from the movie industry; abstinence. Comments, criticism and advice are welcome...enjoy :)

"...if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those words forced out of my mouth, I didn't know what else to say but sure enough even in this pain I knew that I was doing the right thing.
How could he say such a thing when he knew I genuinely loved him?...before marriage? Never...but I didn't want to loose him.
"Tolu but how could you say you love me but yet hide one thing from me?" he said. "Felix how can you say you love me yet you keep me away from the altar?" Now that sounded sarcastic but I was serious....dead serious.
"So you think this is a joke right, I'm not refusing to altar you, of course I know what the word says, I know what tradition says but just once. An assurance".
"NO!", "I can't and I'm sorry, not at all"
"then so be it, its over" he said storming out
"but Felix, Felix, Felix" I said weeping.
Trust me, I couldn't run after him...I realised there and then that I had taken enough from this man, my love for 4 years.
I sit in my room now and I reflect...just too many things. Just like that he's walked out on everything we've shared!

    The attempt to confer familiarity with the readers worked. I was gasping in the end.

Hmm…so I’ld no longer be listed as in a relationship on fb…it is well oh! The thought of the news spreading all over twitter has been in my head. The ‘eyah’s ‘ I would receive has been making me shake…but mehn! I’ld rather stand for God. I had to tell my dad about it…dunno if his parents were informed as his mum still called me some days ago. Thank God dad wasn’t furious as I expected. He just said ‘the Lord will work it out for your good!’ Amen oh! Tope and Toye were (and are) a great support and so was mum. (and is...love this woman!) Everyone seems to be saying it is well …dunno if that’s a new viral word! It sure would be well sha. ...................................................... [ eyah's: aww's or sorry]

Hi people...trust your week has started with great smiles. I'm sorry there would be a hold on the developing story (or rather there has been a hold on the story). This week, I'm putting up an entry that is poetry. Its written by a medical doctor by name Ekundayo Otuyelu. I'ld love you to read it and not copy it...if lifting is needed please contact me so I can contact him. Thank you and have a wonderful week in Jesus name, Amen! Sickle Cell: A Prenatal Diagnosis. On the darkest night, when even the sputtering flame of the meanest candle is denied me, I will still cling to my memory of today. I have tended the dying, prayed with men and women hopelessly clinging to whatever shreds of life are left, and all of it has stirred my soul. But how different it is to celebrate life at its beginning. To hold a wailing infant in my arms, celebrate a first cry which brings joy, to marry the dream of two into one dream, one life, one heart. Such a thing I did today, The woman was lov...
