Long Distance Relationship
Episode 6
Femi pressed ahead with his wedding plans, full of joy and excitement.
He couldn’t believe that after three long years of being apart from Jemima, their dream was finally coming true.
Every day, he made calls to ensure that everything was moving smoothly. He visited the tailor, paid for the hall, and even ordered their wedding rings.
Jemima smiled and acted happily around him, but deep down, her heart was still in turmoil.
She prayed every night that her secret would remain hidden forever.
Femi had no idea that Bruno was quietly planning how to destroy everything he had worked for.
Bruno couldn’t sleep for many nights. He kept thinking of Jemima and how she had pushed him away after Femi returned. The thought of seeing them together made his blood boil.
He wanted to stop their wedding at all costs, but he didn’t know how. He couldn’t tell Femi about the affair without ruining his own life too.
Yet, he couldn’t stand by and watch them get married.
“There must be a way,” he said to himself one evening as he walked up and down his room.
“I will not allow this wedding to happen. Jemima must not marry my brother.” He said.
Days went by, and Bruno became more desperate. He stopped answering Femi’s calls and refused to join in the wedding plans. He sat alone in his room, thinking and thinking.
Then one morning, an idea suddenly came to him. He remembered that Femi had told him about their plans to go for a laboratory test to confirm their genotype compatibility. He smiled to himself.
“Yes,” he said quietly. “That is how I will stop this wedding. If the result says they can’t marry, everything will scatter.” He picked up his car keys immediately and drove straight to the laboratory.
When Bruno got to the laboratory, he met the technician at the reception. He introduced himself as Femi’s brother. The technician smiled and welcomed him warmly.
Bruno lowered his voice and said, “I need a small favor from you.” The man looked confused. Bruno brought out a bundle of money and placed it on the table.
“I will give you N200,000,” he said.
“But when my brother and his fiancée come here tomorrow for a genotype test, you must give them a fake result. Tell them they are not compatible. Say they can’t marry each other. Understand?”
The technician looked shocked at first. “Sir, this kind of thing is not allowed,” he said nervously.
“I know, but I will make it worth your while,” he whispered. He pushed the money closer to the man. The technician hesitated for a while, then slowly nodded.
“Alright! I will do it" he said. Bruno smiled in satisfaction.
“Good. You are doing the right thing. Don’t worry, no one will ever find out,” he said, stood up, and walked out of the laboratory.
The next morning, Femi and Jemima were ready for their test. Femi was cheerful as he drove to the laboratory.
“Once this is done, nothing will stop our wedding,” he said, holding Jemima’s hand. Jemima smiled faintly, but her heart was restless. She wasn’t worried about genotype; she was worried about the pregnancy she was hiding.
“I just hope everything goes well,” she said quietly.
“It will,” Femi replied confidently. “God is with us.” When they got to the lab, the technician welcomed them politely. He recognized Bruno’s brother immediately but pretended like everything was normal.
They both gave their samples, and the technician promised that the result would be ready the next day. Femi thanked him warmly and gave him a handshake. Jemima stood quietly, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone.
“So when do we come for the result?” Femi asked.
“Tomorrow morning, sir,” the technician replied.
“Everything will be ready by then.”
Femi smiled and said, “Thank you very much. We will be here early.” The technician nodded and tried to hide his guilt. As they walked out of the room, he looked at them sadly and whispered to himself, “I hope this ends well.”
Femi and Jemima entered the car and drove away happily. Femi talked excitedly about their future together and how he couldn’t wait to see Jemima become his wife. Jemima nodded. Her mind was full of fear — fear that Bruno might cause problems or that Femi might somehow find out the truth about the pregnancy.
“Everything will be fine,” Femi said again as he drove. Jemima looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded.
“Yes, everything will be fine,” she whispered. But deep inside, she wasn’t sure anymore.
