Does He Regret Marrying Her?

“Now I know the reason why she will not listen to me, it is because you support her. You support her stupid decision to marry that good for nothing man. See, he does not have anything. The only thing he has is his colour”. Olasile said to her husband. The Governor got tired of her tantrums. He massaged his forehead with his fingers.

“Omolasile! Omolasile! How many times did I call you?” The Governor asked. Olasile got angry that her husband had called her full name in such manner. She frowned at him.

“If what you want is for their relationship with their spouse to be like our own, then try to make Temitope and Kehinde do your will. And listen good, you better stop if you do not want them to hate you”. He said to her and walked away leaving her astound. She had not expected this reaction from him. She always thought he had supported her all these while. What has suddenly gone wrong with her husband? And what was the talk about their children ending up like them? Does he regret marrying her? She wondered. She stood up angrily and left.

What Olasile had not expected was the announcement that was made the following day. It was all over the news. The wedding of the Kehinde Adewale son of the Lagos state Governor and Ifeoma Ochuzi has been postponed. The new date was what nobody knew. They only knew it will take three more months for that wedding to take place. Olasile was in shock when she saw it. Ify herself was totally surprised. Fear filled her heart as different thoughts came into her head. Lanre had threatened her that she will get Kehinde, what if this end up working in Lanre’s favour? What can she do now? She did not want to lose to Lanre.

K was no less. He too was shocked. He wondered why his father had postponed the wedding even without letting him know. But whatever was it that he was ever told before a decision was taken on his behalf? His father was always taking matters of his personal life into his hands. This was one of the reason why he decided to stay in Abuja and never do what his father said.

But then, if he looks at it the other way, his father had unknowingly bought him some time. He could work out a way to run away. Yes, he will have to run away with Lanre. He will leave the country with her!

K hits his head with his hand when he realised what he was thinking. How could he think of running away with Lanre?

“Olanrewaju Olayinka, what exactly have you done to me? I first thought it was your long legs. Or was it your beautiful eyes that first captured me? Maybe it was those luscious lips? Or was it the way she moved? But he did not see that face. But somehow, Lanre has managed to steal his peace.
