"Honestly chike I don't know if we can do this any more"

"What don't you know"

"I really want to get married to you, but i dont know if my mother would accept you "

We were 8month at the time and reality began to hit us hard, that our dreams of being life partner was never going to come true. I was devastating find out the harsh truth, and to think that I gave up my virginity at 19 to him just because I was certain we were getting married.

How stupid could I have possibly been to think we were going to work I means he was Igbo and from Delta state and I was Yoruba from Ekiti state what was the possibility that both our parents who didn't believe In inter tribal marriage were going to set aside there differences for the union of there kids. The changes of us working it were very slim especially when we both knew our parents weren't going to agree to be in-laws. It was a tough choices one we need to make.

It was either we keep dating each other till the very end, where we would be introduced to each other's family, and it would ultimately decided our faith if we would he getting married or other wise. Or we split up now and save ourselves the immense heart break we would have to bear after dating for so long only my for our families to disapprove of our union. It was a tough chose indeed one I didn't want to make because I had come to know and love him like I was married to him already.

We were currently on campus leisurely walking toward my hostel when he brought up the topic of marriage again, for 115th time. I groaned mentally finding a way to tattle myself out of this but he was persistent and you can't change his mind or topic once he is set to talk about it. I Sigh taking in a deep breath I know I may not be able to tattle my way out of it but I can sing my was out. Knowing the song by heart I sang out Zendaya's line of rewrite the stars when he said

" I know this is difficult but I'm sure we can work something out. We just need to get me round your mom enough so she would like me."

"I'm not sure that is going to work either but even if it did. It still not going to change the fact that you are academically incompetent because of your level of education. "

" what??? Oh so she is not only looking down on me not just because I'm an Igbo boy from Delta but because academically I'm not up to standard because I school in Yaba college of Technology."

"I'm sorry it's not as easy as it seem... Look I want to end up being the lady on the isle with you. But from the way I'm looking at it...."

"No don't you do it. Don't you dear complete that statement."
