Him?? Her??

We entered into the house

A woman, who I'm guessing as the mother of my husband to be came running towards us

"You're here finally"she screamed out happily"You're all highly welcome. We've been expecting you"

She then faced me and took hold of my hands"You must be the bride right?"

I nodded and smiled

"I saw your pictures. You're really prettier in person"She complimented

"Oh mother, you're more prettier. You look so young for your age"I flattered her

She placed her hand on her cheeks, smilling. "You're really good at flattering people. Anyway, Everyone come on in, have your seats" she ushered us into beautifully made cushions

I love this woman

She's really nice

I'm glad the family I'm getting married into is nice

Maybe getting married wasn't a bad idea afterall

Then a man who seemed like in his early fifties came

"Roland"He shouted happily

"Desmond"My dad replied and they hugged each other

"I was so happy when you called me that day to tell me your daughter has agreed to the marriage. I'm so happy, our children will be getting married to each other. This is your daughter right? She's so pretty in person"he said smilling

I smiled too"Hi sir"

What a nice family!

"I exist too"Richie said raising his hand

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you have a son. He looks so much like you"the man said

Richie smiled and whispered into my ear"Please Tell me the man is lying. I don't look like dad,do I? Please tell me I don't. Dad's nose is too wide,I can't look like him"

I laughed

"So let's all move to the dining table. The table is set, I'll just call my son,he's upstairs getting ready"The woman said and went up the sparkling stairs

We followed the man to the dining room

The woman came back not too long, smilling as always"He'll join us soon"she said and sat

"So,Eva dear,tell me what's your favorite color?meal? your birthday?"

I chuckled

"Answer her fast so we can start eating already"Richie whispered beside me

I gave him a quick glare before looking back at the woman "I actually don't have a best colour but I find myself wearing blue most of the time"

She snapped her fingers"Blue is my son's best colour too"

Well,I never said it was my best colour...

"My favorite meal is fried Chicken just that but I eat other foods too"I told her

That's the reason,all my part time jobs were in a chicken restaurant

"Oh my God"she screamed out"This is beautiful. You and my son were really made for each other. You have a lot of things in common. I'm so happy. So tell me, your birthday, what's the date?"

"Seventeenth of next month"I replied

I hope she doesn't scream aga.....

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah honey can't you see this chemistry? they're both perfect for each other"

Great,she screamed again

is the guy the same Month and day with me?

"Yes I can see the chemistry"the man replied and faced me"My son is the same month with you just that his is on the seventh"

"They'll make a really good couple"my mom said

"Exactly"my dad affirmed

"The food is gonna grow cold"Richie whined

"Oh that's true. Nathan come downstairs now and have dinner with your bride's family. They're cool people,you should really meet them"The woman shouted

Then......

Gbam.....

Gbam......

Gbam......

The guy was coming down the stairs, carefully picking his steps

Doesn't he realize we've all been waiting for him?

My phone fell

I bent to pick it

"Yeah,my son is finally here. Eva meet my son, your husband to be, Nathan"the woman announced

I got hold of my phone and looked up

What?????

Am I seeing well?

Is my vision being messed with right now?

Is.....

"Dwarf?"he called out, confused

I gasped

It's really him

"Beast!"

"You! Why're you here?"His confusion changed into furiousity

"What's going on? Why're they calling each other weird names?"his dad asked

"Do you both know each other?"my mom asked

I got up immediately and hit the table"Sorry Everyone, but this marriage won't be happening anymore"

"What?? So this was the bride?? This low life?? This beggar?? Dad, mom, how could you even do this to me? I'm a celebrity for goodness sake known worldwide. How do you expect me to marry from this wretched hungry looking family"he spat out

My head sparked

How dare he insult us that way

How dare he?!

I glared at him"You can insult me all you want but don't you dare drag my family into this"

"What? Did I say anything wrong? Did I lie about anything? Aren't you all low life beggars? It's very obvious in your brother"he said

I looked at Richie,he was already tearing the chicken, oil covered his lips

"Richie put that down! No one is taking anything in this house not even water""I told him, trying to hold back the tears that were forcing their way out

"I should have known this was the kind of people coming when I saw bicycles parked at our compound from the window of my room. Dad,you see that, they couldn't even afford a bus. I'm a celebrity,dad. What would it have costed you to just set me up with another celebrity"he said

"Nathan, that's enough already. This man was a very close friend of mine back in those days. You shouldn't disrespect him"Nathan's dad said

"No, it's alright. We're okay"my dad said

What??

Okay??

I looked over to Nathan's mom,she has already flooded the whole room with her tears

"Why is this happening?? They really looked so good together. You both shouldn't fight anymore"she said, crying bitterly

Hmm, those who smile a lot,tend to cry a lot too

"Dad, mom, Richie, let's leave this place. I won't stand here anymore and have this arrogant jerk use that foul mouth of his against me"I told them

He scoffed"Now I see the reason you were so confident in buying back my skateboard earlier. Because of this! You can see how much of a low life you are? Because of money! Have you no shame at all? Are you always this so shameless?"

"Dad, mom why are we still here? Let's go"I shouted

My dad got up"We'll be on our way now but the Marriage is still on, I'll talk to her about it. You know teenagers and their behavior...."

"Your talking won't change anything. Let's just go and leave this hellhole"I said

"My daughter-in-law"his mom called out, crying

"We'll go after I do this"Richie said and removed his jacket,he started pouring the food and chicken inside it

"Richie, Stop doing this"

"Low lives"Nathan muttered and went back upstairs

"Please you all shouldn't be offended. I'll talk to him"Nathan's dad pleaded

"No we're not"my parents said in unison

Seriously?!

Are they in need of money that much?

That they won't even see the rudeness of....

Why is it that a day can't pass without significant things happening?

If it was positive significant things it'll have been so better

My life, why???
