Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 5

I needed water, I started sweating profusely inside a full AC restaurant, I gulped down the cup of champagne before me, I still needed the water. The waiter who was still standing there watching left and came back with a bottled water and cup, I didn't use the cup I drank till my stomach made sounds. Was I dreaming? Chuks was observing, he knew I was not myself so he allowed me to cool down and repeated himself

"YES, YES, YES I will" I screamed for joy not minding I was attracting attentions

He swept me off my feet and gave me a kiss that I couldn't resist."If I'm dreaming please just wake me" I said. He kissed my lips and told me its real.

I was so overwhelmed that my dream had finally came true. my mother was to come back that weekend and I finally had the nerves to tell her her prayers had been answered, I didn't bother to call her. I had wanted to call Jolayemi, my childhood friend to tell her about my new status but I know she wouldn't be impressed because I have suffered a lot in the hands of men but I finally summoned the courage to the call her because I couldn't bare to hide things from her. Contrary to my thoughts she was happier than I was and wished me so well. She had been out of the country with her family on a vacation and was to come back in a week time.

I became the latest talk on Magazines and newspaper. My brothers called to congratulate me. What more could I ask for. I proposed to meet his family, they were nice set of people loving and caring, all I felt was that I was in the right place.

Mama Adeola's joy knew no bound, my introduction and Engagement came up the same day, a month after the proposal and my white wedding came up a month after the Engagement. I had pleaded with my mother and my fiancé to make the wedding a private affair. My mother and Brothers were present, my eldest brother didn't let me feel the absence of dad. Jolayemi was my Chief bridesmaid at the registry.
Everything happened so fast and I had a feeling that my Joy is complete until reality dawned on me.
