(JERRY'S POV)
First thing in the morning, I left to see Rosie's mum. Seeing my car from afar, she knew quite well that I was the one pulling over.
Miguor Ma! I greeted in our dialect. I can see her getting infuriated. I thought I said you should go and come back next year? she said angrily. Yes ma but this is urgent I need to talk to you about something.
At least, I was able to get her attention now. Since I met your daughter while in school in the year 2016, I knew she is going to be my wife. Please ma. Don't take her away from me, she is all that I have now with my baby inside of her. What! "Your baby" yes ma! She is pregnant with my baby. That is the reason why I needed the list to work with and do the necessary things before her Tummy grows bigger. Please ma. I love your daughter so much. I am going to pay for everything that is required.
"ehhh ….ooo my daughter is pregnant without informing her mother." she sobbed…..with her two hands on her head! How is she doing? She's doing great. I was really concerned about her well-being when I traveled back to Lagos.
It's ok! That means you have to get to her eldest step brother. That is the first son of the family. He will be the one to take you to her uncle to inform them of your intentions and possibly, get the list from them? You will be told on what to do.
How much do you have in your account? Half a million naira. That won't go for marriage. I know that ma. This is the reason why I needed to sort out the marriage list first but am very prepared for everything that comes and I will be leaving soon to Lagos, so the basic thing to do is what I need to find out before leaving.
And lastly, you took her virginity she said anxiously! and there is a price to be paid on that. Ok now let me make it clear to you! I have seen some level of sincerity in your affections towards my daughter and she is so precious to me. I don't want her to fall into the wrong hands. That's the reason why I am over protective but since the deed is done, there is nothing I can do about it other than to help out. You are to buy her the most expensive wrapper for her and a box of clothes of all kinds. My daughter deserves the best for keeping herself for a good twenty-five years. I know that mother-in-law. She already informed me that, I said joyfully seeing my mother in law talk to me so calming. Ok! then...you shall receive my blessings when all is done. Thanks mother-in-law.
I left with a joyful heart knowing that I have communicated to her of my intentions towards her daughter. Rosie was still at the office when I got to the apartment...so I placed a call to my mother to inform her of my visit to Rosie's mother. I told her what I will be buying for the price of her virginity that was broken by me.."she's a virgin!" My mother yelled out. Yes ma she was.. and I was the one who took it from her. My mother was surprised to hear that from me for good four years of being in a relationship with Rosie was without sex….this made her so happy and loved her the more that a virgin was able to put her son together.
