“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
“Of course I’m not alright. How will a lady in a white robe stand before you and the only thing you can ask is if I’m alright?” She harshly dropped then melted.The commissioner’s jaws dropped, with his mouth widely opened. He had done nothing apart from asking the young bride if everything was okay. He wasn’t expecting her to be brutal. He parted his lips, ready to speak when Tana spilled out more words from her throat.“I wish to see Pharrell Crowley, I know he is under your custody.” She said, placing her hands on her middle, with her legs hitting the dirty bamboo floor.“Wow, I see somebody hit your hard in the heart. Is he supposed to be…” The completion of his phrase was disrupted, again Tana took the lead.“Commissioner, it won’t be good if you waste both our times. We are grown-ups who have a lot to do on our desk. Why don’t you tell me where you had him placed, or did you have your men already to deal with him?” Without getting scared, she didn’t sugar coat anything.“Young la
“I had in mind to call you, but I know you’ve had issues with your parents these last few days because of me. I didn’t want to force myself on you, and so I was waiting for the right moment to get to you.” Pharrell started with his speech. The young man had his fingers shaking like a 15-year-old dude.“In two words what are you trying to say?” Tana asked, her face looking very cold and toxic.“Humm,” Pharrell swallowed hard before parting his lips, “All I’m trying to say is that I’m grateful for coming across you again. I just wanted to tell you how glad I was and also wanted to say thank you for standing up for me that day,” “Damn, I asked you to summarise all that in two words, don’t you think you went above that?” She said, taking a deep breath, “Well, you don’t have to thank me. We have once been good friends. I was taught good manners, as such I always stand for those I have been friends with.” She said, trying to look in a different direction.Pharrell smiled and permitted hims
