Cecilia (not real name) and I were the best of friends. We grew up in the same area. When he started dating Alfred, (not real name) I knew about it. He was a good-looking guy. He had this charisma about him and anytime he came to visit her and I was around, I just admired him and their relationship. He was an uber driver. The car he was using for the uber was a Matiz his Uncle bought for him. We used to have casual conversations and he will tell me about some of his plans. He was saving hard to buy an okada and get someone to work for him on the side and he was also planning to start a delivery company where there will be a lot of delivery guys working for him. He was one of those people you could bet on that they will succeed in life. If you just watch how he carries himself.
Then my friend started acting up. She was showing the guy attitude. She will ask him money and ask him again. It was either money for a new bag, or she had to do her hair or she needed a new phone. The guy will call me and talk to me about it. He wanted me to reason with my friend. I was doing my part. I told her that her guy is the dream guy of a lot of serious ladies out there. Not because the guy is rich, but because you can just see that if he continues on the path he is in, he will definitely succeed so she should be patient with him and manage the small he was giving her. My friend didn’t listen to me and she left him for one rich guy. The guy will come and park his BMW for everyone to see that he was coming to take his girl and Cecilia will be so happy.
All this while I was chatting with her ex. I was encouraging him to move on and that he will get a girl who will see him for the good person he is. Around that time, I started to develop feelings for him because the guy was really serious-minded and I wasn’t the type of lady who was looking for someone to just have fun with. I believe in finding someone to go the distance with, even marry. He had the same mindset. I was also feeling guilty about chatting my best friend’s ex because at a point, where the friendship was going, I could tell that he was also interested in me. About a year and half after my friend left him, he started dating me. The guy is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is just perfect for me and I thank God that my friend left him. I didn’t want to be a bad person so I informed my friend that I and her ex are now dating. She told me she doesn’t care about anything her ex does so it’s not a problem.
Now we have dated for three years. Both of us are very much in love and happy. We will marry in January next year God willing and we are buying the things we need for the wedding small small. Cecilia’s relationship with the rich guy didn’t last and I honestly don’t know who she is dating now because I left the area and we are not as close as we used to be. Just recently, she called me to insult me on the phone. She said I have snatched her boyfriend from her and that I am very wicked. Meanwhile I told her I was dating him and she didn’t care at that time. Also, she has known we have been dating for all these three years and she didn’t have any problem with it. But the moment she heard we will be marrying soon, she is spreading rumours that I have taken her boyfriend from her and I am a bad friend. She is accusing me of snatching her guy when she left him. Did I do something wrong by going for a good thing? Is it my fault that I am now happy and content? Please I want to know in all honesty, did I do something wrong?
