65: MARRIED!
The cake was brought in a trolley, two chefs escorting it, a golden sword held majestically!
Brown's mind was not focused on the ceremony and the grand slaying of the cake that was going to take place. His mind was preoccupied with events that had happened earlier. Hitting the piano keys, his mind shifted to how Alex was comfortable in Amanda's father hands, how he enjoyed every moan that was coming after getting strokes from him.
"Maybe he was given something to make him delusional," brown thought while hitting the keys of the piano.
"You are needed at Amanda's side," a voice called him but he was far away from hearing what he was saying. The man was forced to slap him on the cheeks to wake him from his daydreaming.
"Are you still fathoming about the events upstairs?" Asked the dude waking him from the piano.
Brown was shaken and looked at the man lifting him, "No, I was playing for Amanda," he defended.
"Good, because you are now needed by her side," said the man pushing Brown to where Amanda was standing while the piano got another person to play her.
Brown looked in Amanda's direction, she was smiling broadly earning cheers and congratulations from the crowd. She turned and faced brown who was now walking towards her.
Brown was not in the mood for her games, but he had no otherwise but to play along with her.
When the audience saw Brown moving close to Amanda, the cheering became louder and louder.
"Why are they cheering?" Brown asked the man escorting him to Amanda.
"Just walk, and meet your wife," mocked the man.
"What?" He asked but the man had already disappeared leaving Brown to himself.
Brown raked his mind wondering what wife he was talking about.
Suddenly her mother and father came out of the crowd and they held his hands towards Amanda's position.
"Am happy for you son," said his dad while patting his shoulders.
"I know you will make a good husband," joined her mother.
"What?" He asked both of the stoppings in the middle of the procession.
"Not now son, don't disappoint The Clanks," said his father escorting him further.
Reaching Amanda's position, Amanda's parents let Amanda walk towards Brown, while Brown's parents also did the same.
"I thought we had a deal, Amanda?" Asked Brown worried.
"This is the deal sweetheart, we are getting married and you are now my husband, better shut that good mouth of yours and start performing husband duties," warned Amanda while holding his hand.
"Married? Husband duties," asked Brown almost shouting but his voice couldn't be heard because the audience were cheering and shouting.
"Yes, like touching me romantically and helping me slay that cake," told Amanda quietly as they walk towards the cake.
Brown walked like a blind man who was being led. They reached the cakes section, the sword was brought out, first, Amanda's dad asked both of them to lay out their right hands.
"Why would we do that?" Asked Brown.
His statement was replied to by Amanda who forced out his right hand and smiled at the audience.
"We are going to join our bride and bridegroom by shading some little blood instead of them wearing a ring," said Amanda's dad.
He first cut Amanda's right palm and then slid the sword on Brown's right hand.
"Ouch," cried Brown and sense got into him.
Their palms were joined, "I now pronounce you husband and wife," declared Mr Clank.
The same hands were handed the sword which they held together and cut through the cake"stop being a cry baby and let's cut the cake," Amanda told Brown who was wincing from the sword's cut.
"Can you just shut up and be done with this madness," growled Brown.
"We gave tied a knot and you are growling like we've been married for ten years!" Mocked Amanda while resting on his hand.
"You are not my wife and you will never be!" Shouted Brown.
Their arguments couldn't be heard because of the noise, but Brown's discomfort and irritation could be easily seen by someone who was concentrating.
"Cut me some slack and focus, or you want to eat your parent's blood for supper soup," warned Amanda earning a death stare from Brown.
"You can do anything to me, but not my parents," said Brown gritting his teeth.
"Eat!eat!eat!" Cheered the crowd once Amanda and Brown were done slaying the red velvet cake.
Amanda picked a plate and a fork and placed some slices of cake and held it in her hand.
Brown seemed to have known what was going to happen and he gladly opened his mouth to receive a price of cake that Amanda had placed in the fork lifting it to his mouth.
After swallowing, he also picked the fork and picked a piece from the big cake. His mind was also busy making calculations that never seem to work.
He decided to let the plan go and feed Amanda the cake like the good husband he has been chosen to be.
But he didn't forget to keep the fork on her lips, making Amanda twitch in pain from the fork that was dug in his tongue.
Brown moved to bear her and placed a kiss on her cheek, "that's for breaking our agreement," said Brown as he moved away from her.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Prompted again the crowd after they had fed each other a piece of cake.
Brown hated this, he hated that he would have to place his lips on Amanda's the girl he didn't like and would never like. He had no other choice but to just kiss her and let the night end.
Brown initiated the kiss, and Amanda leaned in accepting the kiss, Brown made sure to bit her lips to prevent her from deepening the kiss further.
The crowd cheered and we're happy for the young couple that had suddenly tired a knot at a young age. They knew they will prosper, with Brown's brains and Amanda's beauty, there is nothing that will keep them from winning in the world.
They danced to the night as everyone congratulate them on their new journey.
"I wish they knew that Brown was not interested in the girl,"
But it's too late now, they ought to act like husband and wife. After that eventful day, Brown's perspective changed, he has moved away from that town and they relocated to a different city beginning a new life. No one knew about their whereabouts.
Her parents were happy that their son had been married to a wealthy family and they used to enjoy all the benefits that came with wealth, but after some years, they suddenly disappeared from the town never to be seen again.
And today, seeing his parents mourning the death of their son whom they had lost contact with gives me lots of questions about where they had been.
Had they known about their son? Had their son contacted them while he was married to Amanda? Where did they go to?
And probably I know you are wondering where Brown's first love went to?
Am here! Telling you a story, a story that no one ever knew existed. Mr Clank had brainwashed me for three years and I thought I had fallen for him. I didn't know myself for all those years. After he left me for dead in the alley in a place I didn't know, I regained myself and got to know what I had lost. My parents had been looking for me and when they found me they were happy but they still had unanswered questions about where I was.
I came here to mourn Brown, as a friend, and as a lover who I once loved but it never ended well. I hope his soul will last in external peace, AMEN! o
So, as you stand from your seat to go and view his precious body, keep in mind that I loved that boy inside that casket, I wish I could have him and explain to him how sorry I am for keeping the events that happened in Mr Clanks Delusional room silent, I wish I could tell him I tried to look for him when I was back to myself, I wish I could tell him that I still love him but no I can't.
It's too late, he is going to be buried six feet under, I hope he founds piece in his new surrounding if he never had one, I know his daughter will miss him so much, he always wanted a daughter though he hated girls, I know it ironical but that's what he always wanted.
It's my turn, let me go see my lover one last time before they send him down to the soil.
I hope that witch Amanda doesn't recognize my face and crucify me in front of people the way she loves to, I hope no one from her family will recognize me and make this hard, I just want to say 'Goodbye!'
