TWO WEEKS AFTER

 ‘’Whoever that knows what can stop this marriage from holding should stand up and say it now or keep silent forever！‘’ Said the Priest before joining my wife-to-be and I together as a pin dropped silence was duly observed.

Two weeks after, Ezeguy came into my house to tell me rubbish about my wife and I was not happy with him because he was a village parrot that goes about crying about everything under the sun！When properties are released by Pwan Homes ltd, he announces it, when two people fight, he announces it and when there are atrocities in the land, he makes an announcement. I didn't know how to tell him that his presence is not needed in my marriage but he was my friend. He told me so many things about my wife that I began to wonder if this was the same Chinecherem that I had met in the streets and had proceeded to marry after a brief public relationship！He even told me that her father was a king and that she came to Nimo to hide herself from bad men who claim to be suitors until she found me！

I am imiano and I admit that at times, it is difficult admitting to realities. Ezeguy was so sure of himself that I ended up going out with him only for him to introduce me to another woman and asked me to buy palm wine for him from the woman before he could tell me the main gist. It was only when we had sat down to sip from our respective cups of fresh palm wine that evening that he opened up to me that he was only saying all those things to pacify me over his absence at the marriage ceremony and I breathed in twice！

The kind of calmness that returned to my mind after he made that revelation could only be described as being heavenly.
