WEDDING CERTIFICATE

I didn't know he was behind me until I noticed some customer who came in trying to take pictures that was when I turn back to look at what was happening andI couldn't take my eyes off her, she was looking beautiful, glamorous and breathtaking.

I could hear customers discussing on how beautiful she is, I became proud of the woman that I am getting.

I walked to her and held her hand, she look downward.

I kissed the back of her palm.

" You are beautiful" I said, she steal a look at me and she quickly look downward.

I quickly made payment with my ATM , I held her hand and I locked my hands with her hand and I could see she was trying to hide her face from the camera, I knew I had to protect her from the camera.

I don't know why she is hiding her face from the camera but I know she is hiding her face and it could be because she used to be a prisoner before now.

We walked to the car, I led her to the car, she wanted to open the car door but I stopped her and open the door for her.

ANITA.

When I stepped out of the room, I was surprised to see people wanting to take pictures of me, I had to look down because I do not want my face on the camera yet, I do not want Mrs Sam to be aware of me being out of the prison yet or else she will find a way to implicate me just like the first time and she will send me back to the prison and this time I might not come out alive.

I guess the man I am about to get married to noticed he came to help me out of the place.

The way he held my hand feel so protective that I feel so secured with his hand pressing against my hand like telling me I am here.

We walked to the car, I never expect such treat a second time when he open the car for me, I was surprised he did that for me a second time.he was smiling at me, he entered into his car, he shuts the door while I also open he also enters into the driver's seat, he looked at me.

" You look beautiful " he says.

This is the second time he is saying this today, I felt happy and reply him with.

" Thank you".

He drove us to the registry where he parked his car.

I wanted to open the car he said no, he got out of the car and came to open the car door for me.

He stretched out his hand for me and I place my palms into his hand.

I got out of the car and he lock hands with me, we walked to into the office, he look for  a seat for me to sit and he told me he would be back.

BRIAN.

Since it was an impromptu wedding, I needed to have a talk with the registrar for a quick wedding.

He billed me and I made an additional cash, he left others and told me to call in my wife.

I walked to her while I could see that she was looking down , I can see she didn't want to look up while some people keep talking of how beautiful she was, I walked towards her , I held her hand and she didn't look up till we enter into the office.

We held hands and the marriage was conducted by the registrar for us.

And when it got to that part where we are to give our name to be on the wedding certificate that was when we realized we don't even know each other's name yet.

ANITA

" The brides name? The registrar asked and we look into each other's face.

We both look into each other's eyes and laugh.

God we don't even know each other's name, I thought.

I quickly say my name.

" Anita Davies" I said and he quickly looked into my eyes.

" Anita? He asked.

" Yeah" I said and I noticed the registrar was looking at us and I quickly pinch him so that he can adjust and he quickly said his name.

" Brian Philips" he says.

I have never heard that name because the person I even take him for name was Junior that's all I knew he was being called then because it was just a birthday party of my friend brother whose father was a soldier, she never told me their dad has been transferred and they will be joining him soon in his new base in another state.

I and Junior got along and our sex was more like a quickie, it was my first time, I never thought it could resolve in

Pregnancy until I got pregnant, I tried finding Junior but my friend parents had left their residence to where their Dad were transferred to, my friend doesn't own a phone at that time , I also do not have a phone at that time so getting my friend to get Junior to tell him that I am pregnant was hard.

I had to run away and try to get rid of the pregnancy it was while I was running away that I met Mrs Sam who helped me after knocking me down with her car.

I explained my situation to her and that I had no where to go and she offer to help I never knew she was going to be part of my problem.

She took me home help me with money and ante natal and through putting to bed , I had a boy and a girl,but after a month she took my baby from me and offered me money, I didn't want the money because I loved my kids, I pleaded with her to let me stay till I get a job, she agreed but I never knew she had another plan at the back of her mind.

The very day she called me into her matrimonial room ask me to come into the room with a knife , I did and next she held hit me on my head and o collapse.

I woke up and find myself in a pool of blood and a knife that has blood, my dress were stained with blood.

I looked to the ground and Mr Sam was in a pool of blood, I quickly stood up in fear panting.

I try to recollect and I realized it was a kid of set up, I quickly  rush into my room remove my dress , I change into a different dress and rush to my baby nursery, I took my babies and quickly run out , I walked to the gate trying hard not to be suspected but I was stopped by her men.

I began to cry and before I knew it, Mrs Sam came in with police men and she began to point at me that I am trying to run away even with her babies.

I try to speak but I was not allowed to speak, it's so obvious she had paid off the policemen not to listen to my own side of the story.

The babies were taken from me , the house were searched and evidences were against me that I killed MR Sam, I was an underage but I was still given life imprisonment.

I had no lawyer to defend me, I was sent to the prison and that was how I spent five years of my life in the prison and when I collided with Brian at the prison I thought it was Junior but hearing his name now , I knew he wasn't the one although Junior should be about Brian's age now because he was far older than me then , he should be around twenty four then while I was seventeen then but I can see they are different.
