Some men will stain your white series has been nothing short of epic. In this episode, a lady reveals how her friend’s fiancé began asking her out. Continue reading.
Why would such a thing even cross your mind? What do you think you possess that would make me commit such a high rate of unpardonable anathema? Are you the only man in the world, or do you think all of us lack a sense of responsibility or loyalty?
My mother gave birth to two solid men, so quit making it look like the world revolves around your coconut head.
You gawked me in the eyes and had the guts, the temerity, the effrontery, the liver to pack disgrace in a heap of shame and throw it on me.
You want to stain my white, Tony, Edward?
It has happened twice, and each time I called their bluff and ignored their show of infantile delinquency.
Do you think that this is a matter of speaking plenty of grammar?
Just tell me why I won’t speak, gesture, gesticulate, and explain since these men have vowed to tempt me the way the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden.
If I fall now, they will say that I broke the girl code. This is me trying hard to treat my friends the way I would love to be treated, and you call it “forming hard to get”, walahi! If this is a repeated show of hard-to-get, then I accept it with my full chest!
She is my bloodline. Yes, “bloodline.” We aren’t in any way related by blood, but we have got each other’s backs.
How do you want me to explain to the universe that I stole my girlfriend’s man? I will feel very terrible if someone else did that to me so why do you think that I, Isabella Kosoko will bring such massive disgrace to the ears of my listeners?
In my world, the golden rule is the judge.
Deceit is not just a word that exists in the dictionary; it is a word that some use to clothe themselves with all in the name of being wise and sharp.
Again, in their myopic thinking, they will categorize it as “overtaking is allowed”, overtaking what? So, you have vowed to be a passenger, or is it a co-driver in the relationship vehicle of your fellow woman?
Do you want to drive crazily and cause an accident? This is a pure definition of shamelessness, walking naked in the marketplace; what a useless show of indiscipline, greed, insolence, and lack of consideration!
You see, loyalty is not a word we use to pay lip service; loyalty is when you’ve got my back, behind my back.
Listen, as a lady, it’s not out of place to admire the man your friend is going out with, but it should stop in admiration.
Don’t start attaching feelings to it, and don’t start wishing it was you. Are you a thief? If he ever starts entering your eyes, nwanne m (my sister), close them!
However, if you do more than that, The Queen, Oh! Her blessed memory will see it as a concert that lacks decorum, and this doesn’t say much about your status as a female who has the best interests of her female friends at heart.
You start losing value when you don’t know where, when, and how to draw the line. You lack the sense of what commitment is and you jump on every Tom, Dick, and Harry because you allow your miniature mind to think that there’s something about these people and you’d love to explore them.
Tony, have some shame; face my friend that you’re dating and leave me alone. If I stupidly lose guard now, it’s still you that will carry your two left legs around the globe to tell the world that some women are scum.
You asked my friend out, and she accepted. Stick with her! Why you dey cut eye for me, eye dey pain you?
I know that by now you all will be wondering why I have been ranting, but wait a minute. Let’s look into this matter together. If you were to be in my shoes, what would you have done?
Firstly, I don’t know why this particular incident keeps recurring in my case, if this is a trial I don’t know how many more times I will have to prove that I can pass the test.
Okay, listen:
At first, it started with their girlfriend’s phone getting bad.
Anna’s phone got bad some time ago, and there was no way to reach Tony, her boyfriend. She had his number by heart, so she decided to use mine to make her love calls. To me, it was nothing since I was just filling a need and helping a friend.
One of the days Tony called, I picked up because Anna was not near. I greeted Tony and told him that my friend was not in sight. Ever since I picked up that call, the story has not remained the same.
He sent a message two days later and said that the message was not for Anna but for me; that he loved the way I spoke; that my voice communed with his soul, rejuvenated his spirit, and immersed his body in a pool of fresh discovery; and that after we spoke that first day, he hadn’t been the same.
Wow! Punch lines wey dey break eye. He didn’t know how to say it but he was beginning to fall for me.
Phew! What a sudden swing of interest! Are you playing? Tony, I think you should be singing the “one direction song” to help you redirect your interest totally and unequivocally to my friend.
Just imagine this: Tony has been dating my friend for over three years, and the last time he came down from the states, he proposed to her.
So, this son of a gun who has told my friend that she was the egg in his egg role and that without her, he was just buns; how he dreamt of how they would be together forever and how he couldn’t wait to fill her bowels with his seedlings and make her a happy mother.
Tony, these were your promises to my friend, so why do you want to disgrace yourself?
I don’t just get it! Love at first speech, abeg e dey exist?
You’ve been with a woman for almost four years, and out of the blue, you have come to realize that she lacks the vibe that you’d love to see in your future wife, biaa! You lie! You want to fiddle around, and you want to do that with your fiancé’s bosom friend?
He bothered my life for months, especially after he gifted my friend with the latest iPhone. My friend no longer had any business with my phone, so he thought it was time to wake me up every morning with I love you messages. Tony, rest for Pete’s sake.
I didn’t want to be rude to him until the whole childish brouhaha started getting off-hand.
The last I can remember, I sat down and gave him an hour lecture on what it means to be faithful and “committed” to one’s partner and that it would be so downgrading for me to bring such shame to my ancestors.
He had my friend, and he should keep her.
Commitment means sticking to whom you’re dating, courting, or marrying, even if you see people who are way better than them.
There’s always someone better, of course, yes! But commitment is saying to yourself: I have decided to be with this person and no matter who comes along after now, it doesn’t matter because I have decided on my honour to build with this person and only this person.
I blocked his line from then on, and last year, I got an invitation: Tona, or was it Toanna2021: a one-time life match? Hahaha! Oh, I was happy for them!
And yes, I kept my friend in the dark about the entire incident.
Do you think I did wrong by not telling my friend what her fiancé did behind the scenes?
If I had told her, would she have believed me? Don’t you think she would have thought that I was lying or simply being jealous?
Let’s get your thoughts in the comment section.
Did you miss our last two episodes? Read Some Men Will Stain Your White: Episode one and New Episode! Some Men Will Stain Your White, 2
The next one is Edward, Edward the Warlord. LOL Headward!…
This was a fantastic read.
Men be steadily staining white since 1900.
I must applaud you for being a lady of integrity and not messing around with your friend’s man (A lot of people are shameless this days) and honestly I think you did well by not telling your friend about it.
The truth is, most times when people date unfaithful people…they either know it or have an inkling about it.
Telling her might have caused a rift between both of you. Most people can’t handle the truth.
Inkling not *incline*🤣🤣🤣🤣
Story too sweet,I don end up type rubbish
I mean you should have helped your friend , what if she’s walking into a big danger by marrying him ? , he will do that to someone else and maybe leave your friend in the cold someday , I’m ashamed for the guy sha but you should have found a way to help your friend out
This is both a beautiful write and an appealing read. Perfect article! Timely and fit for this age. What I love is how you were able to sustain the flow till the end. I had it all playing in my head the whole time I read. However, I agree with Olumide. You should have told your friend about it. Some things are to kept hidden but not delicate issues like this that involve a life time commitment. At least, you have evidence. His text messages and frequent calls. Whatever feud that might have ensued between you two resulting from your telling her isn’t much much damage compared to the shege she’s going to experience in that dirt of a marriage she just got in. That would have been the true loyalty on your part. Now you allowed her walk on hot coals barefooted. Chai! Na that side you no try. The loyalty isn’t a complete one anymore.
But it’s a great write, Asamani. Creativity shines herein.
I appreciate the flow of undiluted honesty in your review.
I believe the writer has learned better ways to handle such situation if the need arises in the future.
We look forward to having you explore the gems vibelogs has in store. Thank you .
What a beautiful write and an appealing read! I love how you sustained the flow from top till bottom. Great use of suspense. You kept me looking for the story and your reason for ranting till I got to where the story started. Well-done, Asamani.
But you should have told your friend now. That would have been the real meaning of loyalty. Now you let her walk on hot coals barefooted. Whatever feud that may have ensued between you two resulting from your telling her isn’t enough damage compared to the filth of marriage she just got in. Heart ache for the rest of her life. At least you had evidences. His serpentine text messages. That would have been enough to prove your truth.
Great write, Asamani!
This is beautiful, Freddie. I love, love, love it!
