David’s mum: he was involved
in an accident, he drove off the road,he wanted to kill himself
Me: how long has he been like this
Bidemi: for three days just like you were and we are hoping that he will wake up soon
David’s mum: child you need to rest
Me: no!(I knew that they wanted me leave David, but I am not leaving him alone, I will stay with him until he wakes up, I do not care if we are brother and sister as this doesn’t change the way I feel towards him)
David’s mum: tumi both of u matter to me, don’t you know how much pain that I feel when three of my four children are suffering, you and David and Daniel are hurting very much
Me: (I looked at her) I don’t want to be your child (I said as tears gathered in my eyes, I couldn’t just accept her as my mother, I even wished that I hadn’t knew the truth, I actually preferred the lies at least I will have less troubles to worry about)
David’s mum: please my daughter, I have longed so much for you
Me: I am not your daughter please, I don’t want you to be my mother
David’s mum: it’s ok my child, I understand how hurt you are, (she said as she walked out and I moved closer to David and I held his hands as tears gathered in my eyes and I remember the first time we met and all our time together, why is Destiny playing with us, why is life so unfair to me despite all that I have been through, I still can’t be happy, I have always wished to know my parents but now I wished that I never knew them, no amount of words could describe how I felt and I know David must have felt the same way and then decided to kill himself, I squeezed his palm lightly and i hopped in my mind that he will wake up and be alright, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and I looked back and saw Bidemi)
Bidemi: let us pray for David
Me:(I never believed in prayers but now I just need to hold on to something, I need peace in my life so I nodded and Bidemi held my hands and told me to say amen to her prayers and I said it until she was through praying, she left me and I laid beside David on the hospital bed and stared at his face until I feel asleep, I woke up later to some one speaking to David’s father, I did not open my eyes but I listened to what they said)
Doctor: we have the results of the DNA test
David’s dad: what does it read
Doctor: why do you think that David and daniel aren’t your children
David’s dad: because my wife’s first child was a boy but that baby was born dead and in the same hospital another woman gave birth to twin boys but she died and I knew my wife will not handle losing a child, so I took the twin boys
Doctor:how could you do that( I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and I felt as if there were more truths to be told, then suddenly I felt David move his hand that I was holding and I thought as well that the doctor and David’s dad noticed as well as they stopped talking, but David did not move his hand again until he squeezed my hands and I opened my eyes)
Me: David(I called to him as he opened his eyes slowly)
David’s dad: he’s awake!(he exclaimed as the doctor came to him and checked him although he was been attended to by a doctor he still held my hand, I am so happy that he is awake)

David’s dad: he’s awake!(he exclaimed as the doctor came to him and checked him although he was been attended to by a doctor he still held my hand, I am so happy that he is awake)
(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)
