I was living with my elder sister. She has a boyfriend who often comes to visit her. Sometimes, my sister would go and visit this boyfriend and wouldn’t come home until days later. One day I had a call on my phone and the person didn’t introduce himself, but from the way he spoke to me, it felt like he knew me too well.

According to him we went to school together and was crushing on me and all that. He got my number from a friend and decided to see if I was single so he would submit his proposal. He didn’t sound serious at first until he pursued me for days. I asked him to send a photo. He didn’t send it. I asked him to tell me who he got my number from. He didn’t tell me. He said, “If you say yes to my proposal, I will come around and you’ll see me.”

I didn’t say yes but to be honest with you, he got me interested in him. The mystery he created about him and the consistent calls and texts made me feel like I would say yes if I saw him and he was the kind of man I liked.

One day he called he was coming so I gave him directions to the house. It was my sister’s boyfriend who showed up. I was like, “My sister is not around or she told you to wait for him.” He answered, “I’m the guy you’ve been talking to.”

Everything started making sense; the mystery, the hide and seek. Everything. I told him politely to stay away from me. He said, “I didn’t lie. It’s you I want. Since I saw you, everything has changed. Just give me a chance.” I hurriedly went inside and left him there. He pestered me night and day until I blocked him.

He came home one day and tried to hit on me while my sister was in the kitchen. I felt it was time to tell my sister about it so I did. Showing her the messages and where everything started from. Now I’m the enemy of my sister’s progress. She has sacked me from her house and has told my parents that I made a pass at her boyfriend.

Currently, it’s a huge issue in my family. My sister is telling me I should have told her earlier and I was the one who led her boyfriend on. I didn’t know it was him. I blocked him when I got to know it was him. What else could I have done again?”

Some Myths About Adoption In Ghana You Need To Stop Believing

They are still together calling it love. I’ve sworn to my parents that I would never have anything to do with my sister again if she could choose a boyfriend over me. They want me to apologize to her and try my best to make her forgive me. What’s there to forgive? She took care of me in school so I owe her a lot but I would never apologize for a mistake I never did.

Am I being too stubborn? I should apologize when it’s not my fault? To hell with her and her sneaky silly boyfriend.
