he was not allowed to talk to any other woman or marry as his family had
wished. He narrated that he begged her to let him marry since his younger ones
had all gotten married but she refused. She told him that if he wanted to marry
that she was the one he will marry.

relationship because he could not present her to his family members as the
woman he wanted to marry because she was far older than him.

for so many years and her children knew about their relationship. She said all
that she wanted from him was to refund the money he had collected from her
since he was no longer interested in the relationship but he refused.

had nothing when she met and assisted him and he had the mind to turn against
her.
