*****LOVE & SORROW (BETRAYAL 3&4)***** ****EPISODE 13***** Mike continued with our marriage plans after that fateful day. The way he hurried everything left me totally stunned. I couldn’t stop him anymore because i truly wanted to be with him, even though i still felt a sense of comittment towards Chike, which left me with no choice than to tell him the whole truth. “why Cynthia why??” was all Chike was able to ask after listening to my long story. I breathed deeply and kept quiet, clueless on what else to say. It really was a difficult task bringing out my heart to tell him about the latest development. Some girls would have prefered keeping quiet and allowing him to hear about the upcoming marriage from another source, but it just wasn’t my lifestyle. Even though i really wasn’t entirely honest with everything i did, i had managed to maintain a little level of decency. I however had expected him to react madly which he did, but i equally had prayed for him to be reasonable as well “i beg you Cyndii, don’t do this. I have great plans for you. All you have to wait is only just for few months please” he pleaded passionately, but it already was too late to give him another chance. I tried to murmur some explanations but couldn’t. With a deep breathe, i ended the touching phone call. Amara my dear friend equally was very mad when she heard about the whole affair. She couldn’t believe i was choosing Mike over Chike. I tried my best to explain my situation to her. She was left with no choice than to accept my decision, even though she wasn’t convinced with my explanations. “it’s your life after all” was all she was able to say to me with a shrug. By October, Mike did all the traditional marriage rites. Providing all the items my family demanded for and equally paid my dowry. Traditionally i became his wife in October. I really can’t describe how my feelings were that moment. But i do remember praying for a happy married life. Our traditional marriage and wedding ceremony however was fixed after a very long deliberation to be on 26th December, which was just two months away. Both the white and local marriage ceremony were to be held at my village. It was planned to be an awesome event, the first of its kind in my community. My heart was full of prayers as i anxiously waited for the day. I was very nervous and scared… My destiny was staring at me from afar. Tick Tick says the clock. To be continued.
