My friends and sat in the restaurant. We came for lunch from work, my friends are my colleagues at my Dad’s company. P-Links company.

“Seriously man, you are really gonna marry the girl? “. Lewis asked.

“My dad f×¢king seized my stuffs, my account has been freezed. You won’t believe I came to work in a cab”. I said sighing.

“Alex, you just have to have marry the girl, right from sunrise you know I dont like Nora, she’s always after your money “. Rotimi said and munched his meat pie.

“What the f×¢k are you saying Rotimi, will he marry an illiterate? We all know how much he loves Nora”. Lewis said angrily.

” That girl is not an illiterate, she has a secondary school certificate according to Alex. Dont forget to add that Nora is very very expensive and she acts like a slut”. Rotimi said and that kinda annoyed me.

“Just shut up Asshole, why dont you marry someone you dont love too, or why did you marry a classic girl, huh Asshole? “. Lewis shot at him.

“I did not marry Taiwo because she’s a classic girl but because she’s a very decent girl, we all know how grumpy and sassy Nora is”. Rotimi said and it annoyed me the more.

“Hey guys, please just stop…. Okay…. I came for an advice but you guys are just adding to my problem”. I frowned.

“You can’t marry that girl, you have to make your dad understand that…. How can you marry a village girl? It not possible and I won’t watch you do such”. Lewis continued.

“Listen to me Alex, marriage is a very good thing unlike what people are saying that why you have to settle down with a decent person.

You need to join the group too and stop getting silly advice from a bachelor”. Rotimi said and eyed Lewis.For God sake, why will a guy be eyeing someone.

“Okay okay guys, the thing is I need my account back. I’ll soon run low on cash and Nora wanna go shopping next week”. I said ruffling my hair. I really don’t wanna make Nora mad at me.

“You see what I was saying…… That girl will finish you. All thanks to your dad if not, you would’ve been at the security post working as one”. Rotimi said laughing hærd and choked on his drink.

“Good for you”. Lewis said and he continued eating his fried rice.

What am I gonna do now?

I lay on my bed staring at the patch of moonlight on the wall.

It been two weeks since dad announced my wedding, lot of things had changed like my mom, Ayomide and Dad not having chit chats with me as usual. Only Olamide supported me but it of no use because dad already made his decision. I can’t still believe i’ll be marrying someone I dont know in a week time.

I only know his parents cos they do come to the village especially Mr Phil¡ps.

Mr Phil¡ps is a friend to my dad. I heard they grew up together in the village going to farm and fishing together untill his uncle ovesea took him abroad and that’s how he became successful.

He always brought things for us whenever he comes to the village,he’s extremely rich according to what I heard. He has a factory and a company too.

He was the one that paid for my WAEC and NECO exams, he wanted to send me to school but dad refused that he has tried.

He’s a nice man, I must say but his wife is the opposite. She has lot of pride in her and I wonder how he end up with somebody like that. Hmmmm….. I dont even know whose character their son possess.

I heard someone tap on my window. I know it Feyi. I heard her move. I got out of my bed and stood staring at the door. She tapped again, but only once. I went to the door and opened it.

The house was very quiet, it 11:something i guess. Two steps and I was at our parlour’s door. I turned the handle quietly trying not to wake anybody up. The door moved without squeaking.

“I thought you won’t come”. She whispered. The moonlight touch her face. I got out and close close the door behind me. I carried our wooden bench up. Only chirping sounds of bird could be heard.

“What about your parent, they might be awake”. She whispered again as we both sat on the bench.

“Stop worrying yourself,everyone is asleep”. I said softly.And immediately clung unto her crying.

“You have to atop crying, Tiwalade please……. “. She said comforting me.

“Feyisara…… I swear I still find it hærd to believe i’ll be marrying someone I don’t know soon, it in a week time o”. I said sadly.

“It okay dear, I want you to know everything happens for a reason. You’ll be fine, okay? “. She smiled at me.

I returned the smile. “Am glad to have you as a friend”.

“Can’t believe you’ll be leaving soon, how will I cope without you”. She said and burst out crying, I couldn’t hold back the tears too so we cried together.

We were like that for God knows how long untill we heard a baby cry.

“That must be your baby”. I told her.

“Let me start going then”.

“Yeah… Goodnight and thanks for coming”.

“Common it nothing, goodnight”. With that we hugged and she love ft. I dropped the bench back to it former position and went back into my room and got into my bed.
I lay staring at the patch of the moonlight on my wall again. I was wide awake, my brain was too active to sleep. So I just allowed the tears to drop freely.

🍊ALEX 🍊
I sat beside Dad in the Local compound which stinks and reek of something I don’t know. My bride’s to be parent were there. And uptill now I haven’t seen my so called bride.

“Dad, whats this smell? “. I whispered into his ears.

“Thats the smell of fermented cassava”. He replied.

“Fermented cassava for what Dad? It stinks why arent you closing your nose? “. I whispered again.

“It for garri known as cassava flakes or for cassava flour, stop asking me silly questions and keep quiet”.

Why is Dad being like this? This my first time in a village, I’ve never been to any before.

Dad made me prostrate and greet different people since we came. I brought out my handkerchief to close my nose and my Dad glare at me. I dipped it back immediately. I won’t even dare this man.

Mom is at home(Village house) she said she doesn’t want to come and witness shits.

My wedding is in two days. Dad invited lots of people,friends and family,home and abroad.

Even my colleagues including my friends are in the village now lodge in my Extended family’s hotel.

This whole thing is bull shit, I dont still understand why dad disgrace me like this. Gosh………

“Your son has grown into a man, I must say. He was around 3 when you brought him to the village then, right? “. I heard her Dad ask and I forced a smile.

Dad had given me lots of warnings. Do and donts before we came and I won’t dare disobey him.

“Yeah he was 3years then, you were still sneaking to see tiwa’s mother”. Dad said they laughed out hærd.

“Ummmm……. What about my bride? “. I asked curiosily because I really wanna see the so called bride, Dad chose for me.

“Wow wow…. Looks like the groom to be is eager already, let me go get her”. Her mom grinned and I scoffed. Eager Indeed.

Dad and the girl’s dad(I dont even know her name) kept chatting about old times.

I brought my phone out. I have an unread message. My heart skipped when I saw it was from LOML(Nora).

📲 HOW COULD YOU ALEX?? WHY???.

I was suddenly sweating. I did not tell her anything because I dont know how to but I have my plans for her.

“Good evening sir…. Welcome sir…. Hope you had a nice trip, sir? “.

I raised my head up to see a young girl in her early 20’s dressed in a blouse and a dirty wrapper kneeling before dad.

She’s pretty I must say. Looks an African queen. Dark, pink l-ips, natural beauty unlike Nora who always wear makeup.

Wait… I can’t be admiring her, right? Nope. I heard there are lots of witch in this village maybe she’s probably trying to charm me. God forbid!.

“Son, do you heard what we said at all?”. I heard my dad ask jolting me out of my thoughts.

“S-so-sorry…. Uhmmm… Am sorry, what were you saying?”. I asked a little embarrassed because they caught me admiring the girl.

“We said you should look around the village with your bride to be so you can get to know eachother more”. Her Dad said and I nodded.I think it a good idea though because I have alot to tell her.

She walk up to me with her eyes glued to the ground. Is she shy?? I scoffed.. Such pretence.

Immediately we got out of their compound through the backyard. Gosh this girl stinks…

I brought out my phone,ins××ted the earpiece to listen to music.Putting my hands in,side my trouser pocket.

🍎Tiwalade 🍎

We got outside our backyard and we both walk slowly. His hands were in,side his pocket and I couldn’t dare to look him in the face because am the shy type. I just played with the tip of my blouse.

He did not even say anything throughout. He just kept following me. He should at least say something.

I dont even know where we should go.I’ll just take him to a nearby river because the place is not always noisy.

People stared at us as we passed.Everybody in the village already know about my wedding because our village is not that big.

We passed a group of small boys playing football. I felt something hit me making me fall.
“Ouch”. I gr0×ned cos I bruised my arm.

“Anty tiwa, am so sorry for playing the ball at you. It wasn’t international”. I look up to see the boy. I smiled at him, he picked his ball and left.

Wait….. Am not alone… I look up a bit,my groom was standing in front of me. I couldn’t even look him in the eye.

I couldn’t even expected him to at least say “take care” or even help me up but No.

I stood up,adjusted my wrapper and flicked dirt off my wrapper and body. I was walking when I discover something wasn’t right.

Oh no… My slippers has cut. Oh God. I have to walk on bare foot now. Gosh….. I picked my slippers, dust it off and kept it in my armpit.

Soon we got to the river, I sat on the sand close to the river while he sat on a neat rock a bit far from me.

I must reek of smoke now because I was frying cassava flakes (Garri) at Feyi’s place when Olamide came to call me.

“Sorry am smelling bad… I was actually doing something that has to do with smoke wh……

“And you’re telling me because?? “He said cutting me off rudely.

I stared at him giving him a proper look for the first time. He so much look like his dad. Not too dark, round fine l-ips, s₱0t free skin, fine black hair, fine nose, tall and he has a fine body shape too. He’s not bad after all…

“Are you done drooling? I know handsome so just save it. Not like you won’t see me again”. I heard him say and sincerely I confirmed it. Pride, grumpy and sassy like his mom.

I bent my head slowly and played with my fingers.

“Hey listen…. You dont have to start acting like a good girl because I dont like you at all. As in I desest you, you irritate me so much. This whole shit is my dad’s idea so get it straight. I won’t stoop so low to marry an ordinary village girl like you.

For your information, I have my own woman whom I love so much, so have it in your mind that it nothing but an arranged marriage “. He said rudely and with that left me alone.

I move closer to the river,socking my leg in it allowing the coolness of the water to touch me.

Tears well up in my eyes and roll down my cheeks. I cleaned it immediately with my thumb but it kept coming and I find myself crying.
