“I just want us to talk, I know you have heard so much rumour about me. Let me clarify myself.” Although Tana had denied him from speaking, he insisted on talking.The respect for cultural heritage he had chosen from the other options had given him so much wisdom. He knew what to say and even when someone was angry, he knew how to turn things around.“Pharrell, I’m not here for that, besides, my mother is right behind you, she won’t be glad if she sees me still sharing the same seat with you. If you ask me, I'd advise you to leave before she sets eyes on you.” Holding her cup of coffee not far from her mouth, she permitted herself to say.“We both know that’s not true Tana. Your parents are very far from here and I doubt your mom would undergo the risk.” Pharrell said, plainly refusing to gulp down what she just said.“Oh really?” A faint smile escaped from her lips, “Why don’t you turn and take a look at the person who is standing at the gym login?” After stating, she went ahead and
“Your dad sent me here because he wants me to know when you two would finally fix a date for your marriage. News arrived that you have both been living together for quite some time. It’s the right time to finalise everything.”“I know Cushi was here some days back and tried to turn down your ideas. I hope she didn’t succeed? Because Nelson is the best person for you right now.” Her mom gently tapped her on the shoulder while saying all that.Tana took a deep breath. It’s not like she was expecting less from what she said. The moment her mom told her she was on her way to Nelson’s mansion, she knew there was something very important her mother wanted them to talk about.Even after letting her know that she would be home later, the poor lady went all the way to the gym just to pass this information.Innocent Pharrell was behind the door, eavesdropping. He was anxious to know why the middle-aged lady was around. He was hoping no one would find him. He was so anxious to hear the conversa
“Are you insinuating that…” Her words remained in her throat because of the mounting pressure from him.“What I’m trying to say is that we have long had a relationship. We have been friends ever since we were kids , we’ve grown up to be good friends and we have lived together. Don’t you think it’s time for us to tie the knot?” “Besides, that’s our parents greatest wish.” He said clearly.“But.. we don’t even have time to inform people, how are they gonna be aware that we are getting married?” Tana panicked before saying. She was stammering like someone who just saw a ghost.“Common darling, you don’t have to bother concerning that. We can only have a few people for our ceremony. Besides, most of our guests are high status individuals, I’m sure they won’t mind sacrificing two hours out of their time to attend to us.” “Your dad sent me here because he wants me to know when you two would finally fix a date for your marriage. News arrived that you have both been living together for quit
“Why are you here? I thought Nelson asked you never to show yourself around his house. Do you mean you don’t care about all that he said?” Tana made sure to spy before uttering. She knew what was going to happen to her should in case her mom or anyone spotted her with Jace.“Tell me this isn’t true, please tell me it’s all a prank?” With a shattering voice, Pharrell held Tana’s wrist and was almost going down on his knees.This left a sudden burning edge in Tana’s heart as she pitied him. She again turned her head by the sides to check if someone was coming.“What can be true?” She questioned politely. As if she didn’t know, she was waiting to hear what he was going to say.“Tell me that your marriage to Nelson is a prank? I won’t take it if you ever come to get married to him.” He said at once.“Oh, then you’ll have to take some pills, because I’m getting married first thing tomorrow morning.” She said, swaying her ring at him. “I swear that I’m gonna stop that Union. You can’t get m
“If there is anyone who does not abide by the marriage, he or she should indicate now or remain silent forever.” The priest in charge of their marriage said, after which he turned his head and looked around. He waited for some seconds as every normal priest should do. During those free moments, he kept his head roaming around.“Father, I doubt there’s someone to stop this marriage. I propose you tie the knot now so that we can celebrate this young couple who are so much in love.” Tana’s father who was seated at the first bench made a statement.The priest gulped down and held his mic very close to his mouth, “If there’s no one against this, then I guess it’s time for us to do the needful.” The priest said.He let out a bright smile before facing the the couple standing before him. Just when he was about to announce that they had finally tied the knot, a very loud and husky voice came from the back seat, making everyone in the hall to turn and get to see who made the noise.“They can’
Her father’s eyes bulged at this statement. The middle-aged man literally gulped hard. His only daughter just challenged him in the presence of several visitors.“And where do you think you are going, young lady?” Her mom stood in between the way, blocking her from continuing.“Mom, I’m already mad at you, don’t give me more reasons to block all contact with you. Let me go now.”“You can’t go young girl, the priest is about to bless your marriage, you will do whatever pleases you later,” Her dad chirped in, but the young Tana didn’t even look in his direction. She instead took another pattern leading out of the hall.“Tana, Tana, Tana…” The people kept screaming her name, but it didn’t change the fact that she left.Reaching out, she was desperately in the search of Pharrell. She wanted to know where the guards had taken him. There was no trace of him, as such she had to do the needful.“Hello ladies, please did you see a tall and fair dude with some men carrying him?” She asked the f
“Hello, who’s on the line?” Came Derrick’s first question. He was in the hall, comforting his friend when the call came in.“Derrick, this Tana, don’t let anyone by your side know that I’m the one calling.” Tana said, making use of a soft tone. Her voice was so low that she had expected no one to get it from his end apart from him.“Okay boss,” Holding his phone very close to his ear, he raised his head to check if Nelson was spying on him, which turned out to be the case. At this stage, he knew Tana was certainly calling to know more about Pharell’s whereabouts. Just as she asked him, he did everything to hide it from everyone.“I’ll call you later, just give me a minute or two.” He said, after which he hung the phone.Looking at his broken friend, he cleared his throat while searching for what rubbish to tell him so he could leave the hall. Just when he was about to talk, Nelson advanced him.“Was that Tana on the phone, did she tell you anything?” Nelson said in panic, waiting for
“Then why didn’t you do it inside the hall since you claim this place is dangerous?” Marah stared at him before asking, still wandering the kind of dark room in which he found himself.“Hahaha,” An unpleasant smile escaped his lips, “About the hall thing, I couldn’t make a call in the hall, given that there’s a lot of noise going on. There are murmurs from everyone which makes it difficult to communicate,”“For the environment, you shouldn’t bother about me, I’m a man and I can defend myself, I’m worried about you who is equally stressed up.” Derrick aired his mind.“You are right, Derrick. I’m sure my friends have taken the current situation to the different social media platforms they are active on.”“Do you see what situation Tana has put our family into? We are now covered with shame. How do we even face Nelson’s parents before talking about it with the public?” Marah grinned.“It’s okay, Madam, I’m sure you’ll be fine, you’d husband would be fine too.” He said, locking her into h
