Dirim's Man

By

Ezar Dumebi Tega

Here we have Dirim Anyanwnu whose sister, Uche, is about to get married... to Dirim’s ex-boyfriend! Dirim’s mother, in the hopes of saving her daughter some pity looks from the extended family that were descending on the wedding convinces her daughter that she needs to have a date, if for no other reason than to quell sympathy looks and questions.

Dirim reluctantly agrees to take Chichi, her mother's best friend's son. She's so reluctant because they had met years earlier as teenagers and had not gotten along. Skip ahead to the wedding weekend and nerdy little Chichi is now hunky Dubem. The pair finds out that despite their previous dislike of each other as kids, they are now very attracted to each other.

And so ensues hilarity as Dubem and Dirim wade through the waters of crazy aunts, drunken parents sharing too much information, drama queen bride, former flames and falling in love.

Dirim’s man leaves you wishing the story was a bit longer...
