Alike episode 5
 
I continued in my hustles, my studies was going on fine, I have saved up enough to get an apartment, after getting an apartment I called my younger sister over, she came over with her baby boy, who was already a year, my Dad called her to come back home with her baby, but she said no, that she will be staying with me, but she visits Dad and mom sometimes and they also come by occasionally.
I’m not looking to any man for help, after several heart break and getting disappointed from men, I decided to let men be, fine or ugly, rich or poor it doesn’t bother me, I’m focusing on my self,
I’m working to be better and happy,
With my little savings I sent my sister to learn tailoring, after one year I got her a sewing machine, she started sewing from the house and later saved up and got a shop, she also got more sewing machine, and also got two girls learning from her,
her son, my nephew, his name is Rick, was growing up so fast, he was already in school and doing well academically, he so much looks like his father Huna, very handsome with pointed nose, is a pity for Huna to have rejected his own blood, denied ever having anything to do with my sister, I made sure Gina my sister never have much of regrets, thank God she didn’t abort Rick, despite the fear of Dad and mom, she decided to bore him, grandma was also a great help to her, encouraging her everyday, everyone was disappointed in the beginning when she got child out of wedlock but Gina is making us all proud,
She is having lots of clients that comes to her, and she was also learning more on fashion and design, and she planed to open her own fashion school once she save up enough cash,
she having a child out of wedlock didn’t stop her from attending height, she kept on expanding her horizon, and I kept on encouraging her to be better with her skills and she always listen to me, I love that about her, she listens to good advice
Gina is very industrious lady, thank God Huna couldn’t stop her from shining forth,
Gina, my sister was doing so well for herself, she later opened her fashion school and I was really proud of her, and also fulfilled I contributed to her happiness,
I didn’t resign from my job but because I have being working with them for years they allowed me to take some weekend off, so that I can go for my part time studies, it wasn’t easy combining school with work but I was determined,
I wanted to be a better person for myself and my society, I met another guy while in school, Richærd was nice and brilliant, we were friends at first, he was always coming around me, Richærd was in his final while I was just in my second year, at some point I actually thought, this is him, I have finally found my own, he was always making me to laugh, he wasn’t so fine or rich but he was okay, doing well for himself,
after months of being friends I decided to give another relationsh¡p a try, i started relationsh¡p with Richærd, it was cozy and warm, I was very careful not to fall over hill in love, I loved him but I kept some love back, I wasn’t praying for a break up but i wanted to trade safe because the past events thought me better
After almost two years of being in a relationsh¡p with Richærd , Richærd graduated from school and got a good job, he suddenly changed and doesn’t call or pick calls like before with the excuse of being busy with work,
Lack of communication was killing the relationsh¡p,
I decided to visit to sort things out with him, I visited him without his notice, he was with somebody and he said his female visitor, was his colleague at work, he said i should always inform him before coming over to his house, I apologized,
After one month he finally opened up, he was planing to marry the lady I met at his place, whom he claimed was his colleague at work,
Well after finding out that Richærd was to be married in less than a month I became scared of men, but I wasn’t totally broken because i didn’t give all the love out I had reserve for myself
I bid him farewell and move on with my life
I tried not to give room for any man to play with my feelings, i have being played severally and learnt enough lesson from men that will serve me a life time,
growing up, back then, I use to think no man is capable of hurting my feelings, I never believed that any man will ever hurt my feelings until it happened to me, it was tough that even being strong was not an option anymore, I needed to be strong,
Wealth and handsomeness was in vain, a man who fears God, love and respect his follow being will not deliberately hurt you, he will cherish you as he will do to his mother and sisters, until such man finds me I will be waiting,
Getting hooked up, or getting married to a man who cares just for himself, nobody matters to him is what I’m shielding myself from, forever is a long time to be in such trouble,
Through out my time in school after Richærd, I guided my heart with all diligent, I had guys coming but I wasn’t ready for another relationsh¡p, every relationsh¡p I must go into must be leading to something meaningful, even if I don’t get married to the person, it must be a relationsh¡p that at the end I will feel like I had a friend,
Gina, my sister dated too, men who even promised to marry her but ended up leaving her, some after she tells them she have a son, they will disappear like thin air,
one of the men even said she will have to give up her son because when he marries her he doesn’t want to see another man’s son under his roof, the guy asked her to return the boy to his biological father or give him to my mum and dad to take care,
There was lots of condition just because she wanted to be married, I advised her never to give up her son, if a man loves you enough he will see your son as his own too, any man that claims to love you must also love your son,
Mum had two daughters before she married Dad and Dad loves her and her daughter like his, he loves all of us and they even bear Dad’s name, Dad treat everyone of us equally and special, so if Dad can do it any man that intend to marry you should also be able to do it except he is not serious,
Gina listened and broke up with the so-called man that wanted her to give up her son just because he thought he was doing her a favour by marrying her,
I couldn’t cope with work and school anymore, I was in my final year, I needed full concentration in writing my school project, so I resigned, and focused on rounding up with school,
After school, I decided to add a skill, I went to learn catering and cake making,
After I was done with that, I focused on my catering job,
I wanted to have a hand work not just certificate, Gina was doing well so the bills wasn’t much of a problem
Gina met a fine man in her fashion school, he was a brother to Gina’s students, he comes to pick his sister up and met Gina, they got talking and later fell in love
Gina was in love with a good man who loves her and her son, he cherished her and encourages her to be better
After a year they planed to settle down, as the marriage preparation was on going, I was going to be her caterer, it was really something i looked forward to,
Huna showed up unexpectedly after many years and said he wanted his son back, and I was wondering which of the son, is it the same one he denied and said it wasn’t his or another one, I told him to get lost because he was a big loser, he tried to get back to Gina, he pleaded to be forgiven and promises heaven and earth but it was too late because Gina will be married in few month time, and Rick will have somebody to call a father, not some undeserved man,
I’m so happy for Gina, I know and believe that real undiluted love will find me some day until then I will be a well doing independent woman waiting,
money can’t entice me because I’m not a lazy person, if i can’t get a good job with my certificate i will get something better with my skill,
Instead of sitting idle and feeling safe pity for myself, I Chanel my strength in being a better person and helping out in my family in every  way necessary, I can’t settle for less.
