The half Nigerian moon in the clear blue sky illuminated the bed room with its light. The shadow of the Mango tree and the tall straight pawpaw tree in the compound can be seen looking monstrous on the walls.
I sighed heavily as I watched my husband sleep. My dear husband, the man whom I fell in love with sleeping at the edge of our bed.
I never imagined my wedding night to be a lonely one, what about my dreams of being in the hands of the one who I love.
I folded myself up on my side of the bed like a question mark without a dot.
This marriage is a sham, maybe a legal sham.

It absolutely blended well with my fair skin colour.
