This is why I chose to get married to a gangster

 I am 25 years old, and it just clicked to my mind that it’s time to get married. I mean, I was clever enough to make my calculations, and according to my schedule, by December this year I should me Mrs. nani.

I am not going to far this time. I have been in a relationship with a man for 2 year now. He is everything ladies want in a man. But there is only one particular detail about him that is disturbing. He is a gangster.  Not just a gangster, but the leader of renowned gang in the estate. He is a suspect of the police and he is wanted.

I mean, I knew the risk I was taking by first accepting to date him. But I never thought things would go as far as two-years in a relationship. He loves me, yes, and I love him too, but this behavior is worrying. Not that he is a hustler or an illiterate, but no, in fact he has a degree in civil engineering. But he says he loves the gang. To him the night escapades with the police, robbing people and selling and using drugs, is a passion.

He knows that when he will be caught by the police he will be shot to kill, leave alone life imprisonment. Then, he proposed marriage, I could not refuse, I love him. As much as he is a member of the gang and wanted am still willing to take the risk of getting married to him.

My parents know him, but we have managed to hide the fact that he is a gang member from them. They love that he is an engineer and my mum even advised me not to look further and accept his wedding proposal.

I do not know how they will react when they find out the real truth; but for now, I will enjoy him and my marriage. I still have hopes that he will change when he gets older and when we have kids.
