episode 26
(david was attended to by the doctor, he still looked
weak and in pains and he didn’t speak to anyone, the
doctor told me to excuse them and i left along with
david’s dad, oh how glad was i that david was awake
but i was more relieved that david and i aren’t siblings
although i do not know the full story as they stopped
talking as soon as david awoke.)
david’s dad: child you must be hungry as you haven’t
eaten a thing since (oh yes i just remembered that my
stomach has been growling for some time now like an
hungry lion)
me: no i am not hungry (i said although god knows and
my tummy knows how hungry i am but i will not eat
until david eats with me, boy have i missed him so much
and yet despite all that has happened between us, it only
made our love stronger and god has always destined all
these to be)
david’s dad: tumininu i know that you heard everything
that i and the doctor said (wow i was just thinking in my
mind about how to tell him that i overheard him but he
just made it easier for me by confessing)
me: does mum know about this (i asked as he shooked
his head, i was forming an angry person but deep down
oh was i so happy that there is hope for i and david but i
just have to form and be angry so he would tell it to
everyone else mostly mum, dami and the twins)
david’s dad: i have held this secrets for 25 years and it
will crush your mother’s heart if i tell her that the sons
that she raised for twenty five years aren’t her sons, she
will never forgive me and even if she does daniel and
david will not (he said sadly)
me: its better that you tell the truth it mustn’t come from
me, it has come from you. tell them all
david’s dad: cant we just keep this a secret child (what
is this man saying, i that have been looking for hope for
my love and i get one and will i now bury it up, no way!)
me: not a chance father. (i said this time really angry) if
you wouldnt tell them then i will
david’s dad: please my daughter do not do that, i have
been with your mother for so long, and we have been
through so much, but she loves you all and the boys are
are best possessions, she’ll de if she finds out
me: then let her die, at least she’ll die with the truth, you
have buried us all under lies, now open it all, definitely
there will be consequences (i said as i looked at my
father) but dad believe me its worth it to tell the truth,
we were almost destroyed by lies, do you want that to
continue? (he shook his head, at that time the doctor
came out )
doctor: tumi david wants to see you (as the man said
that david wanted to see me my joy became full and i
stood up happily but then i turned back to my father and
gave him that look that he should tell the truth and i
went inside the room, i saw david sitting upright on the
bed, although he was still looking pale, he was much
more lively and he soon noticed me and he smiled to
me and i ran to him and i hugged him, oh how much
have i missed him that tears began to form in my eyes,
tears of joy i guessed)
me: david why did you try to kill yourself
david: believe me tumi i just just wanted it all to be a
dream and to end
me: but you didn’t think about me (i said this time tears
flowed freely down my cheeks) what did you think will
happen to me if you had died, did you think about that
david: no! (he said as he used his palm to wipe my
tears) you are the reason why i am fighting to stay alive,
i want to be with you, although (he said as he looked
away from me)
me: but what david? (i asked as he looked at me)
david: i am sorry tumi that i fell in love with and made
you fall in love with me
me: (i couldn’t believe what i was hearing was he saying
was he giving up on us) what! (i exclaimed)
david: tumi we just have to accept this, that we are
related
me: but we are not (i yelled at him) we are not related
david: it doesn’t even matter anymore, we are not
destined to be.
me: how can you say that are you giving up on our love
david: there can’t be such between s, we are brother
and sister for gracious sake. you are my sister
me: david it doesn’t matter besides we are not related
david: tumi don’t try to go further, this cannot work, i
just can’t live with these lies, we can’t date each other,
although i love you but i’ll convert that love to a
brotherly love (as he was speaking my heart just sunk in
and i was shattered i never expected him to give up or to
say all those things) tumi we are over, this thing
between us can’t work
me: so you are breaking up with me
david: obviously
me: (i got so frustrated that i couldn’t control myself
anymore and i began to blabber out everything) you
know what go ahead and break up with me and for what
we are not related, i am the the real oyetunji odetola,
you are not my brother because mum and dad didn’t
give birth to you and daniel, your own mother died while
at birth and mum lost her own son, so you and i aren’t
related at all (i spoke out )
david’s mum: what! (she exclaimed from behind me,
then realising what i said i looked at david and saw that
he was dumbfounded, what did i just say oh god what
have i done, i looked back and saw david’s mum and
dami staring at me with shocked eyes and david’s dad
stared at the floor, oh my god what did i just cause with
my blabber mouth, oh dear god help me. you know
when you are in the situation that i am you’ll be praying
that the ground should swallow you up or that you
should just disappear, that was exactly how i was
feeling, how am i going to explain this and it will not
scatter my family and hurt the man i love, guys pray for
me that i don’t say the wrong thing)
