THIRST FOR MARRIAGE.
Episode 2!!! A
Wendy’s text message came in on a cool Friday evening. The message content was requesting me to come over to her house on Saturday so we could plan the wedding amongst ourselves first.
I wasn’t the only one she invited though. Mirabel and Ozioma too would be coming. Meanwhile, Mirabel was the first among us to get married. She married an elderly man, a politician. She now glows and attends meetings with people of a higher caliber. Mirabel of yesterday that would always come to my lodge in the evening to gossip and eat night food. Well, I sighed and wondered whether she would even honor Wendy’s invitation.
Ozioma was the second to get married amongst us. She got married 18 months later after Mirabel’s wedding. Ozioma got married to a pastor and gospel singer. A very popular one in Lagos. However, it’s quite unfortunate that Ozioma always gets beat up by her so-called pastor husband. She hides the gist from us but we are her friends and we all know. We have tried talking to her about it but she believes God would intervene for her. Lol, I have even removed my mouth from her matter before she would assume that Grace that’s SINGLE no want another person to prosper for her marriage.
Saturday came. After the whole cleanup, I took some rest with an intensive sleep. I woke up shortly after. Took some food in the kitchen and dressed up for Wendy’s house.
I found out that the location she texted me was different from her normal location. Dazedness set in. I had to call Wendy again to confirm and she truly confirmed that it was the right address. I boarded a taxi though and on reaching the bus stop, I alighted and entered the compound.
I was welcomed by Wendy and I got inside to find everyone sitting down with drinks on the table.
“What’s up, Wendy? Where’s this place?” I asked, perplexed.
“Agh! Aunty calm down. Won’t you even sit before deciding to k!ll me with questions.”
