CHAPTER 20

Ruth luckily surprised everyone. She finished her interview examinations earlier than the others yet she came late. She left the examination room and joined Martin who was seated at the waiting. They had to since the results never took much of the time to come out. 

" Splendid love. Are you sure that you won't fail the examinations? Do you know that sometimes it's bad to always feel overconfident? You might end up loosing everything that you already started" said Martin as he pecked Ruth on her cheeks. 

" But someone didn't bath in the morning. I suggest you go and take a shower love. I will be fine and besides Haggai accompanied me here. I know that you have a lot of confident in him"

" I will do so only if you decide to accompany me. I have really gone through the hard road in my life. Bathing is one of my least priorities. Earning a living and gaining much power has always been my first priority and I only do this for my own family. The family which I indeed took a long time to create" said Martin which astonished Ruth. 

How could she be able to keep a husband who who did bath everyday?

Yet maybe it was true, it was only the wives to change their husbands hygiene and state of mind as well. 

All what she needed was a little more time to know what he liked or what he did not really like..

In a jiffy, all the other students were done and were already at the waiting room. They were all just waiting for their results. 

When the results had arrived, only those who had passed were the ones who were given their admission forms. 

" This is a whole lot's of things Love. It will cost a lot of thousands of shillings Love. It will be a problem since I know we are trying to manage our finances for the future if the closer gates" said Ruth a bit worried. 

" All the finances that I consider expensive are the ones for my family and I have always felt obliged to spend each of those finances on them. The knives and forks are just cuttlerys that do not really matter. One can feed by hand and mouth" said Martin as he left the waiting room accompanied by Ruth. 

He carried her to the car once they were already approaching the car. He sat on the other back seat of the car since he really wanted Ruth to be comfortable. He ordered Tom who was the closer gates driver to drive as fast as he could in order to ensure that they arrived early. Martin was already informed by Lady Akeshia that there was a commotion at the closer gates. It was all started by Mr. And Mrs. Baraka.

He kept blaming Ruth for the poor judgement that she made. They quickly arrived at the closer gates. Ruth asked Lady Akeshia to accompany Ruth to their matrimonial room . He did not really want Ruth to witness his heartless judgement towards the two couples. 

He immediately went to the closer gates court and sat at the judge's sit. He requested for the two couples to be brought in front of him. 

" You two escaped the cell of hell through my wife's judgement. I am definitely going to make that judgement since you both have proved that you cannot live together. I therefore sentence the both of you to eight years in the cell of hell. If you don't survive, then my condolences. Take them away and makes sure they are chained. No food will be delivered to them for the next three months. This is my judgement" said Martin angrily. 

What did he just say?

The two of the couples were accompanied to the cell of hell. 

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
