The Life I never imagined (Complete)

Chapter 34

Nothing I said made him stay. It’s been a month since he left and he calls his daughter every day to check up on her and when I call him it has to be about Imi or else the call is cut short. I laid my heart out on my sleeves for him and he wasn’t bothered at all, he said this was what was best for him and I and that I could get to focus on my relationship with Triston and he will try to find himself. Never in my life have I ever been this heartbroken but I guess there was nothing I could do about it at all. I was miserable but what was I to do really? I had made a friend in this period of my loneliness, some woman named Marcy Oyiyo, she was from Nigeria but she finished her degree this side. I don’t know we just clicked from the get go. She also has a daughter my age and she is married to a sales rep of some sort. It was a Saturday and we were meeting up for drinks. Triston and I have been good, we’ve grown closer I guess but he still hasn’t been introduced to my daughter and he’s been pressurising me to make an intro. I sat down opposite Marcy

Her: as beautiful as you are, you seem stressed

Me: that obvious huh?

Her: pretty much

She had already ordered for us a bottle of wine. I downed my glass at one go the minute I sat down

Her: talk to me, what’s going on?

Me: Triston insists on meeting Kendra

Her: and you don’t want him to just yet?

Me: no. my daughter is my life and Triston is just a part of my life you know. he and I have only been together for 6 months and me introducing the two of them would feel like I’m rushing into things. Kendra’s father left a month ago and for me to be coming to her and trying to introduce another father figure when she already has one… it’s just too quick you know

Her: I won’t lie I don’t know what you going through but as a mother and parent I do hear you. Introducing your girl child to your new partner can’t possibly be easy with all these stories about step fathers and boyfriends and stuff circulating today. You want what’s best and at the same time you can’t force yourself to introduce the two of them all because he is ready to meet her. you as the parent need to think of your daughter and you need to be certain that this man is the one you want to keep in your life because now what happens when you and him break up? 6 months is too little of a time for you to rush into introductions and if Triston had a child of his own he would understand that

Me: thanks babe

Her: stop stressing over this. he either understands and see things from your view or take the highway

Me: and I don’t mind kicking him in the curve. I don’t need this. I didn’t sign up for this

Her: of cause you didn’t

Me: enough with my drama. What’s new with you? You’ve been drinking like a fish ever since I sat down

Her: yesterday a young lady around 21 rocked up in my house with a new born baby claiming its Chris’s

Me: I’m sorry what?

Her: he didn’t deny it. said he’s known from since she was pregnant and he would like me to take in the child as my own and mother it because he wants his children under the same roof
