Welcome to my blog

You read about how the  affair between Jonny, my sister’s husband and me started  in the beginning of this series and I told you about how we mustered the courage to tell my sister about  the affair and my pregnancy in the second part . I guess you have waited for the conclusion of the story. Well, here is it. With no sound in the house, the three of us sat in the living room. My heart twisted and sunk as I sat on the sofa with my head down, staring blankly at nothing, waiting for Jonny to speak. I feared what we were going to tell Reena could ruin the peace rooted between my sister and me for years; I feared she would hurt any of us or herself after she heard it all. Jonny began, Reena, there is something you need to know. Uhm…Sel and I have been seeing each other and…” My heart hit my chest hard that I thought it would break my ribs as he went on and Reena kept on staring at him with absolute stillness.

It was Friday morning; my phone rang for the second time; I was not surprised to see it was her. We’ve been friends for about twelve years. Like me, she is the only child of her parents. Ofeibea is her name but I call her Offy and I love her like a sister. Although we planned to go to the same senior high school, we were posted to different schools.  We told our parents about it and with my daddy’s help, we both got admission into one of the finest senior high schools. We have a lot in common. Apart from sharing the same birthday, we look very much alike. And while our fathers are from the same town in the Eastern Region, our mothers were school mates. Our friendship grew stronger when we entered senior high school. We became more like twins; our choices of things and our thoughts were almost the same every time. We virtually did everything together and oh…excluding what you are thinking. Lol. We chose to read same courses so we ended up in the same class a...
