The Man I Love - Episode 8
But sir, i would like to see you tomorrow
after service, i need your counsel on
something” she requested
"No problem my dear, I also have something very important to ask of you, promise me
you won't refuse although its not a matter we need to be discussed over the phone" he said
"Daddy you know I can't refuse you, you are my daddy nah, so long as it’s within my
power I will try my best possible to assist
you with it” she responded.
“Okay then, take cake” he ended the call.
"My son you heard her yourself, she is as free as a bird..
You can go and console Hani but remember my take on this issue.
By the way, tell her family not to bother
about refunding the money you've sent to
them for the wedding arrangement, its not necessary" he concluded.
Vil ran after Hani...
"Hani wait!" he called out,
He found her sobbing at the corner of the
house.
“Can you stop crying, please..." he said.
"Why is all this happening now, why I’m I so unfortunate in life, everything has suddenly turned topsy-turvy,
How could I have known that your father is Emeka's pastor,
Now everything is upside down...what are
we going to do now Vil?” she asks in tears
“Honestly I'm confused", he replied.
"But Hani, you never mentioned anything
about Emeka to me.
I guess he was the same guy I saw the other day that was pleading with you, but you said he was just an old friend
And I remember we both rushed him to the hospital when we found him unconscious
on our return from our outing that day,
Despite all my pleads for us to check on him while he was admitted before his discharge, you refused.
I felt something wasn’t right but I just
couldn’t place it.
From the look of things, it seems you and
Emeka have come a long way, how is it that you were able to walk away from your
relationship just like that? Vil asks
Fresh tears swelled up in her eyes...
Hani started stammering... "I love you Vil"..

. She said
"How!?
So your fiance after of all these years
suddenly, is now history, is it that easy to let go of someone?
Honestly, i think you need some time alone
to clear your head and decide what you
really want.
I guess it’s probably the easy life that you
love.
If I wasn’t a joint owner of the lab. worth
millions, would you have considered me?”
he asked in anger.
She shook her head and tears flowed freely from her eyes…
"Come let me drive you home, I will also let your parents in on the situation of things.
I want you to also know that daddy had
already told me that he has someone in the church he wants me to take as my bride
before he even saw you.
Your past only complicated everything the more, if not, i most likely would have been
able to convince him to accept you.
Nevertheless, let's wait for the church elders to sit on it tomorrow”.
They both arrived at Hani’s house, it was
about 7 pm.
Vil explained everything to her parents and they told him they will accept whatever
decision he makes,
That they have no idea that Emeka's pastor was his father.
"My daughter didn't yield to our advice,
for the five years she spent with Emeka,
they always had a way of settling their
differences,
even up till now we don't know what her
reasons are for leaving Emeka,
please do well let us know what the church decides so we can cancel all the wedding
arrangement if need be" her father said.
"Thanks for your understanding,
if my father was not a pastor it would have been easier, and to think that Emeka is a
dedicated member of the church,
I wonder what he will think of my father if I marry Hani, that he kept her for his own
son all along.
I have to leave now, i really need some time off, I will let you know the outcome of
tomorrow meeting.”
Vil left.
Saturday night was a long one..
It was as if there would be no tomorrow...
Tosin was wondering what the pastor
wanted to ask of her.
She also imagined how it would be like to
marry Emeka,
She has never thought of Emeka beyond
friendship, it was really a tall order for her.
"I will only marry Emeka if daddy
approves..."
