Make or Break.
Iām sure this title got you thinking. Donāt worry. No rituals going on here.
Recounting this makes me smile because l gave Abei, a taste of his own medicine and he clearly didnāt like itš.Ā Abei likes to pull pranks and jokes, teasing here and there. A conversation we had as we got serious was our genotype.
Everytime I remember what she did, I donāt know whether to be mad or just laugh at myself honestly but at least Iām happy about how it turned out so itās all good. I hope no one has to be filled with such anxiety though.
Abei insisted I found out what mine was since he knew his. He did because it is a requirement for after you have enrolled in a university. It was part of our school requirement but syringes and the hospital are not my friend, so I managed to give my school administration one excuse after another till. (Letās keep it our little secret okay, shhh).
My genotype is AS and so I am particular about this because I have seen what people with the SS status go through. I wished I was AA though, so I wouldnāt have to be bothered about such things. Anyway, this was another moment that had us walking on eggshells.
So prior to me going to check for what it was, we discussed fully what the possibilities were. If l wasnāt AA, we would have to call it quits regardless of how much we loved each other. I wish the emotions were as simple as l have put it. We are a people of faith, we believe that with God nothing is impossible, however also did not want to ātestā God if it turned out otherwise. So, tough decision but we agreed.
We agreed but did we really agree? Like just let it all go? That would be massive. Thinking about it though, sometimes thereās no need to create problems just because you think God can fix it. āMaybe it is not His willā was what I was going to use to convince and console myself if it all went south.
Ha, thinking about it, school asked me to get this done, l didnāt but guess who was willing to find out now all of a sudden.
Look at this young lady. Love was able to push her mumu button. Her school had required this of her for the past few years but it took love to get her to go and get it checked. When youāre falling, what can stop you?
So l got to the hospital, got it done and per the result, l was AA. I was thankful, then l began to devise my plan. Just so you know, he was texting and calling all through, l had to at a point tell him to chill out as he was making me nervous. I quickly texted him that l was done at the hospital and he inquired what the results were. I told him itās best l get home and video call or call as a text message wouldnāt be appropriate for the news.
When l got home, l waited for about 30 minutes then texted him something along the lines of; l was home and thankful for the time we have been together but it seems this is the end.( l know too far and dramatic).
Ei you can imagine your boy at that moment. She lost me at āthankful for the timeā¦ā because I knew what was coming after that. Maybe if you heard I was on the end of a rope, it was not suicide but murder because she was trying to kill me.
He called and said we should scratch our initial agreement and letās research on what the possibilities are. He kept asking what exactly the results were and l was just going in circles. l got tired, nervous and anxious and couldnāt keep up so l sent him a full screenshot of the results. Your man was relieved.
This put a lot of things in perspective for me though. If ever faced with such a situation in the relationship where splitting up would actually be for a good purpose, was I going to react selfishly as I did in this situation?
You can share with us if youāve ever come across such situations, and the path you took.
Hahahahahha I got tensed reading it as well. Am glad the ending was relieving. This things reli throw us into a state of confusion.
God bless you guys

Nice write up. I got myself in the same situation though, but mine went south as well. It was hard but I had to let go. It taught me one thing tho, to always find out about issues as important as this one before entering into a relationship. I’m happy for you guys
