BROKE UP WITH MUM THRICE

Emulation and elimination method

Chapter 2

Should I really tell Jordan this story? It's not as if my teen years were the best.There were Many ups and downs. If it were a movie, it'll be a classical Nollywood movie.

But he would be 18 years old in a few days time, I think he has

of age. He needs to know the good and bad, the ugly and beautiful, so he would apply my famous EMULATION AND ELIMINATION method.

"Dad? Dad?? The story please", Jordan called out as he noticed that I was distracted, His ears were already itching to hear everything. Okay son, let's travel back to decades of years.

After graduating from my high school, I was still young and naive. Having little knowledge of the world that awaits me. Of course I was the first of 3 children, a greater pressure was on me. I have to be successful, I have to be someone great. But, in other for me to do so, I must await the results of my final year exams so as to gain admission into the prestigious University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

While I await the results, I was at home. Then, it was a new normal to have a girlfriend, I had none. Though I had one back in my secondary School days, but I won't really call her my girlfriend. We soon forgot about ourselves as soon as we left the school compound. I must confess, I really wanted to have one now especially because all my friends were having one for themselves, some even had two and even three. " That's multiple dating right?, How did they manage to keep all three of them?" Jordan interrupted.

I was glad he was listening to me.Well, those who does that do not usually end up well, they end up loosing all the girls, I answered haphazardly and paused to look at his face. He wasn't really convinced about my reply. He wanted to hear more, but that wasn't where I was going to. If you continue to interrupt me like this Jordan, we won't finish this story today and you know you have to wait for one week to hear the rest, I said that quickly to Jordan as soon as I saw the ambiguous look on his face. "Alright dad, continue" he answered sluggishly.
