I met Tade When I went for my Nysc, We met at the camp and for me, I've always thought our relationship was just a camp romance and it's going to end on the day of our passing out but little did I know Tade had a different agenda, he wants me for keeps and not just as a camp fling. After we passed out, he kept in touch and our relationship blossomed. That was when I got to know him better, He was from a wealthy home, he was born and breed in the UK which was where he had all his education.
He comes to Nigeria once a year because his parents are established here. As a petroleum engineer, he was working with an oil firm in the UK and he was really doing well not until his daddy told him to come and take over the family business as the first son. He just to do the compulsory one year service since he will be working in Nigeria and luckily for us, fate brought us together. He was in a serious relationship back in the UK but his girlfriend said she can't relocate because of him and he does not like the idea of a long distance relationship, so they had to break up.
As for me, I've not had a serious relationship for the past one year. The guy I was dating then didn't seem like the one to me so I had to move on and that was the same way I felt about Tade until he proved me wrong. He does not act like a regular rich kid, he was down to earth, he treats me like a queen and showed me what true love is. After our youth service, he took over his Dad's company, he even wants me to come and work for him but we decided I look for employment elsewhere so as not to mix business with pleasure. And before I knew it, he threw his weight around and he got me a really good paying job in a prestigious company.
I felt my life was finally falling into places as I've always imagined, I have a good job, a good man that I can spend the rest of my life with and I think life was fair to me. I was looking forward to when he will propose and he did on my 29th birthday, he has seek the permission of my parents and that of his's before the proposal and they all gave him their blessing. I would not wait for the wedding plans to begin, Tade was too good to be true and he's what any woman would have wished for. I can't help but thank his former girlfriend for leaving him, if not, I might not have met him.
Two months to the wedding, we were putting finishing touch to the wedding plan, Tade's parent are footing our wedding without us contributing a penny and I can sense it it will be the talk of the town's wedding. One a particular weekend, we decided to go and carry out an all round medical examinations at the hospital, I know I'm AS genotype and I do check my HIV status regularly, so I have nothing to worry about since have not been with anyone since I met Tade and he told me he is AA genotype. The nurse took our blood sample for a thorough check-up and we were to pick up the result in a few days.
One the day we were to pickup, I was not available so Tade went on his own and he was reading my result to me on his way back. I'm clear of anything,I don't have any medical complications and I was happy to hear that. He started reading his result to me when he screamed out loud on the phone! At first, I thought he had HIV, that was the worse thing I thought of not until he told me his genotype as he has always believed to be AA is AS. I could not believe it, "this has to be wrong", "when did his genotype change overnight"? That was the words he kept on screaming on the phone. We decided we will do it somewhere else that it could be a medical mistake.
This is the 5th hospital we've been to apart from the first one and our result reads the same thing. We are both devasted on what to do, Tade loves me soo much and I love him too but love is not enough to go ahead with this lifetime decision. He decided we should go on with the wedding that we might be lucky, our first two children will not be sickle cell and we will have just two but I told him it's not a risk I would want to take. I can't afford to bring a child into this world to suffer for my own selfish reasons. I don't know what to do, our supposed wedding is just 6weeks away, life is not been fair on me anymore!
