As soon as I saw you, I fell in love with you. I can say it was love at first sight. You were young, beautiful, dashing, seem intelligent, speak good English can I say, Queens English. You were everything I needed in a woman.One day, you were to go for lectures, I was also going, we met in one of the lecture theatres, I asked your name, you told me, “Comfort is my name and you are..,” stretching out your hand to shake me, I replied “Andrew, I am called Andrew but you can call me Andy,…” we later exchanged numbers.

THE CONVERSION TURMOIL
“I can’t take this anymore, Commy I need to tell you what is happening in my family.” My sister called through phone informing me of her husband's escapades. She had tried to keep it to herself but now she is going nuts. She needed someone she could confide in. she told me that friends can betray trust. “I had wanted to share with one of my friends but I couldn’t. She cannot be trusted with such sensitive things. She may end up discussing with other friends and before you know it, the whole world would have heard. I just want to be very careful. I have heard of friends that took advantage and use it against the said woman destroying the marriage completely. I don’t want to destroy my home. I believe I’m a builder, not a destroyer.” She said. “I’m learning my sister, but why not tell your pastor, who will counsel the two of you or you can go to a professional counselor. I just feel I’m too young to do anything.”
THE CONVERSION THE RELIEF
“It’s your entire fault,” I told my sister. “I blame you for allowing this to go under your nose. It means you are not vigilant. This has been on for a very long time. You must have seen traces even before courtship but you ignore, you fail to accept the truth, and you were too involved in him. You were busy looking the other way, while he was occupied in women. Take responsibility and hold yourself accountable for his promiscuity. ”I thought she would talk, but she kept silent over my accusations. I felt she was giving it a thought. She needed to calmly recollect how it all started. Acknowledging your fault or weakness of character is the starting point of healing.She had given the devil a foothold in her marriage unknowingly and now it’s dawning on her she needed to tackle this. She replied, to my utmost surprise calmly and soberly. “Can you please go on and expatiate how I have allowed him, and if possible give me solutions on
THE CONVERSION LIFE IN DUBAI
“Look where you are going madam,” a tall strange man said in his deep husky voice. He is looking every inch an Arabian, nature born of Dubai possibly. He looked like a prince with a lovely turban and golden chain on his neck, with a golden ring on his fingers. “a penny for your thought,” he continued, “you are oblivious of your environment and seem lost in thought. What could a beautiful lady be doing alone in this city? Are you with a chaperon or shall I say a husband?” I kept on looking at him from his head to his toes.I had bumped into this wealthy-looking man and he kept on asking questions with no reply. When it seems I was not ready, he left me and went far away to sit down viewing me from afar.My husband, Barry booked a flight for me online paying for two weeks' holiday to sort out myself and be relieved from the depression that had settled in after being caught sleeping with maids on different occasions. I had wanted to divorce
THE CONVERSION MY REGRETS
I chose to ignore the strange man who wouldn’t mind his business. Who was the man paying for my meals? I needed to know. I was about to make a call to the kitchen when the phone rang, I picked and I heard “And do you want to know the man that you need to know? Aren’t you curious? He’s waiting for you, the usual place. See you there.”I got up and dressed hurriedly, and made for the door, I moved over to the usual place I stay every evening. He came to my seat, tall, handsome, wore a T-shirt on a trouser, a cowboy cap on his head. He sat down looking at my face and said, “Cry, baby, baby cry.” Then I knew it was the same man that had been following me from day one. “Oh! It’s you again?” yes, the voice was the same but he looked different because he was’/t putting on his traditional attire. I smiled and said, “Bonjour Monsieur.” He smiled in return and said, “Bonjour mademoiselle?” &ld
THE CONVERSION MY SMITH
I couldn’t sleep, I kept tossing on the bed, feeling a little bit dizzy, went to have a cold bath to cool my nerves. I decided to call my Smith. Calling from Metropolitan hotel in Dubai “am I talking to Mr. Smith Collins?” “Who are you, calling on Smith this ungodly hour?” “You’re lost long friend, Labby baby.” I said. Smith rushed to the toilet to receive the call, away from his wife that was sleeping noisily on the bed. She is good at snoring, since she gave birth to two, she developed this irritating habit of snoring, could it be because she has put on some weight? He was excited to hear my voice. He said, “Labby baby, how are you doing? You are married aren’t you, what are you doing in Dubai, have you gone there to shop or you're living there?” I replied, “Too many questions, at the same time, I’m sorry I called, I couldn’t sleep, just felt like calling to greet. Just want to tell you that I stil
THE CONVERSION THE STRANGE MAN
I felt like doing a little sightseeing and some shopping. At least I should leave the confines of the metropolitan hotel and go out a bit. A cab waited for me, I hopped in, to my delight. “Where are you heading to ma’am?” the driver asked. “Nowhere in particular but I need to visit places you know, and do some shopping,” I spoke eagerly to the driver. He exclaimed like he knows where will be good for me. “Ha, ha, I know where you will love.” He dropped me and I gave him a time to come pick me. I also collected his number. I went around looking at stores and seeing beautiful places, having the fun of my life. When I felt satisfied, I was trying to locate my way and wait for the cabman. It was a bit different. Some places were looking the same. I was going round and round and never seemed to be progressing when I heard a familiar voice speaking behind me. “Again, she lost her way.” Before I could turn to see the man, he stood
THE CONVERSION SWEET HOME
“Welcome home mom,” my children came in jumping, then the hug. I missed home; my children and I think I missed Barry too. He had come to pick me at the airport. He collected my luggage and took them to the car. He couldn’t hug, he was sober. We never behaved as if we are married. I kept mute, not talking. He had to break the silence as we drove home. “You look refreshed and settled. How was your trip?” “Fine and how are you doing?” I asked dispassionately. “We missed you so much.” He spoke cautiously. “I hope we will put all these things behind us and move forward. Shall we?” he continued.“I hope so too,” I replied.Later in the day, we were able to talk heart to heart with him. I told him I had forgiven him but he should never take me for granted again. He should give me respect. We agreed to get a housemaid for weekends, an elderly lady will be most appropriate. I told him to go and conf

It became Rob, the boy that took advantage of me, the guy with the foreign accent The one I met when I took a vacation to the city of Ibadan. My money was returned immediately. I was taken aback. Bitterness welled up in me. I felt disgusted, I was going to let out a shrieking scream or yell hysterically at Rob. So much anger was welling up in me. I clenched my teeth so hard till it started to hurt, suffocating with upsurge anger. I collected my money, my luggage and left the shopping mall to get a cab.I had gone to do my normal shopping when I met this guy again after almost a year.
