CHAPTER 38

Before the wedding introduction, I took Dayo to our village where my parents were buried.

My parents were buried at the church cemetery beside themselves.

When we got to the village at the church cemetery, I stood at the gate, I know I never knew when mom died because I was a toddler but I wasn't that young when Dad died, I was 16.

The memories of my Dad accident, to when I and my step mom rushes to the hospital and how he was pronounced dead came flushing into my head, how his dead body was lowered to the ground, then tears started flowing down my face, I couldn't go in, I returned to the car.

Dad was a good man, he deserves to witness my upcoming wedding into. 

"Dayo enters into the driver seat and he uses his fingers to raise my chin to face him and he embraced me and he said

"Memories, am I right?" DAYO asked and  I nod my head to say yes.

"I understand" he said. " Listen we have to do this, this is why we came here, the reason we are here.

" Don't you want their blessings?" He asked.

" I just can't help it Dayo, I just couldn't forget those memories, Dad deserves to see my upcoming wedding, he never had lots of clothes, he never ate 3times a day so we could eat, he never had things his friends had, he struggled till his last breath for us" I said while sobbing.

" And that is why we have to go in there and ask for their blessings"he said, he kissed my forehead and my lips, he kissed the tears on my face and brought out an handkerchief and help me dry my tears.

" We got down from the car , I picked the flowers I bought for each of them and we both enter into the graveyard and went to the tomb of my parents, I drop flowers on both tomb and I and my fiancee stood in front of the tomb while he held my hand.

Mom, Dad, I missed you, I never grew knowing you mom but I have heard lot of people sing praises of your lifetime, I wish you could see me now, I hope you could see the wonderful man God has blessed me with. 

"Dayo lifts the back of my palm and kissed it and I smiled. 

"Dad You are the best Dad in the world even though you are no more but I know you and mom are bonded back in heaven staring at us right now, this is my fiancee, Dad and Mom, he's name is Dayo, he's the love of my life and we're getting married soon and I want you to bless us mom, bless us Dad.

I wish you would be sitted there that day but I want to believe spirituality you both would be there that day.

Dayo also looked into my eyes and asked "can I also say something"

I laughed and answered " yes ofcourse"

"I thank you sir for bringing this beautiful intelligent queen into this world because if you didn't bring her into this world maybe our path might never cross.

"Sir, ma, you are the luckiest parent on this earth for giving birth to her and I am the luckiest man on this earth to meet  and wanting to make her my wife, I promise to love, care and cherish her forever and I want you to bless us ma, I want you to bless us sir like she said".

We stood for a while and said " mom, Dad, we have to go now, we would visit after the wedding.

We entered the church and did a short prayer and we returned to our car and returned to Lagos.
