.“Go ahead, I’m all ears” Aunty Fanny said listening intently, “Okay, I will. After, I was fully convinced that he was my twin” Jeff began, “he proposed that we met; he was so excited that he had finally found me while I on the other hand was still trying to come to terms with the fact that not only did I have a brother I didn’t know about, but he was also my exact replica, we looked so identical; it was the weirdest feeling ever.
”Identical twins or monozygotic twins are formed after a sperm cell from the male partner fertilises an egg from the female partner forming what is called a zygote or fertilised egg; this zygote or fertilised egg splits into two creating what is known as monozygotic or identical twins. On the other hand, dizygotic or non-identical twins are formed when two eggs are released simultaneously from the ovaries and fertilised by two different sperm cells. In rare cases, it is possible for the two eggs to be fertilised by sperm cells from two different men, if the woman has multiple sexual partners, hence, the twins will have two different fathers.“He offered to come over since he hadn’t visited the country since he left and it’d be easier and faster for him to arrange his travel documents than it would be for me.”Jeff continued.“I’d had wanted for him to visit at a time Lara was around because I wanted to see the look on her face when she saw Jason but he insisted that he would come earlier so that he could use the opportunity to visit some of his other relatives that he hadn’t seen in a while; he had promised hewould stay till Lara returned so that he could meet her too” Jeff explained.“The fateful evening he was murdered, was the first time I would ever meet him. He had just arrived from the airport as cheerful as can be, I remember picking himup at the arrivals section of the International airport; It hadn’t been difficult to find him, all I had to do was look for myself in the crowd of people strolling out till I finally spotted him.
He spotted me justaround the same time, and was waving and jumping like an excited toddler. We hugged each other like long lost brothers and got along so well, we chatted away like we’d known each other for years.
Finally, when we’d gotten home and relaxed a bit, he requested for a beer to drink, unfortunately, I didn’t have any at home since I’m not much of a drinker, so I offered to go to a nearby grocery store to stock the house with some cans of beer for him; I was only away for about 30 minutes.
