Aunty Meng was also present and she smiled broadly at Sheila. She had watched David grow to the Man he was now. She was like a second mother to him. She knew that if there's a person who could make David happy,then it was this lady In Front of her. Ofcourse, she was very much satisfied with David's choice this time, not like his deceased wife had a problem. It's just that comparing the two, she was jolly, loving and caring. She was simple and honest.Alicia sauntered to Sheila, hugging her tightly." You know what? I never imagined that a day will come when I'll see my cousin so humbled in front of everyone. To think that he actually proposed to you, wonders do happen." Alicia praised." Congratulations dearest for taming this dragon, you deserve an award." She added, smiling pleasantly at Sheila." Always remember that you have our full support, grandma and I. Soon you'll marry my cousin and become one of us, so as earlier as now, let me officially welcome you to the family." Alicia
" Nothing much. Actually there's nothing about him that you don't have. The problem is not you,it's this," she said clutching her chest where her heart was located. " This brings the difference between the two of you. While I love you as a friend and brother,I feel something different for David. It's magical, inexplicable. I can't understand it myself but I know that without him,I might as well lose the will to live." Sheila said with a dreamy look on her face. Just thinking about the man she loved,she couldn't control the emotions swirling in her heart, making it swell with happiness and contentment, threatening to burst. Fred gritted his teeth in annoyance. He had come here to convince her to leave behind that old bastard and be with him,not to watch as she praised his enemy in his presence." Are you rubbing salt to my wounds by saying that?" Although he tried masking his deep hatred towards David,it still surfaced. " What man threatens people to stay away from others ? Does he
" It's okay." His magnetic voice did wonders to her trembling heart. At that moment Fred had pulled her and kissed her forcefully,her heart had dropped to the deepest of pits. What was running in her mind at that moment was how would David feel if he saw her at that Instance. Will he find her cheap? Or dirty? Will he misunderstand her and break up with her? Will he loathe her? With those thoughts, she had struggled but he was far stronger,not to mention he knew her, her every move so it was easy for him to cage her.." Honey,I didn't..." She wanted to explain that she just wanted to have a decent conversation with her once best friend because she was sure after this, they'll remain strangers at least. She wanted to convince him to move on and find his happiness somewhere else. She wanted to wish him luck. She wanted to say that she was sorry she couldn't return his affection. She wanted closure but who would have thought that the guy had different intentions in mind." Shhh! You do
" Yeah.. yeah I guess age has caught up with me and I am becoming emotional." Old madam Brown said, blinking some tears away. " This reminds me of back then when your mother entered our family. She was just as Young as your wife." The old woman said, smiling at the duo.After receiving the cup of tea offered by her granddaughter In law, she drank it and blessed her." Life Long to see your great grandchildren dear and welcome to the Brown family. Now,I can rest knowing that the Brown family has its Mistress." Old madam Brown added.Sheila thanked her.The two finally left after paying their respects to their ancestors. The Brown villa was referred to as the ancestral home because the ancestral chambers were within its premises. Every late member of the Brown family from the main Branch was laid there with the exception of Sandra who had asked to be buried away from home.David's first wife.David had taken Sheila to introduce her to his late wife which Sheila ofcourse did not take off
"Be good to Aunt Meng baby, we will be back before you even Know it." Sheila coerced Lily who was crying to tag along.David and her were leaving for their honeymoon and obviously, Lily could not come along.David, who stood by the side observing his daughter trying to sabotage his plans of spending alone time with his wife, scratched his head thoughtfully. He has to convince his daughter to stay back." I will be good mommy, just take me along with you," the little one pleaded.She had just found herself and outstanding mother, how could she let her father dominate her mother all by himself.Sheila sighed helplessly. She was at a crossroad, not knowing whether to bring Lily with them.If it was up to her, she would definitely bring the little one with them but this is not about her. David made it clear to her in the morning that they would be going for a trip as husband and wife. Although he did not say it openly, Sheila was no fool to not understand what he meant.They are newlyweds
The reception at the island hotel was one of a kind. Since the island was known for hosting couple's, the two lovers received a candlelight dinner.There was plenty of sea food and Sheila loved every bit of it. It was well cooked with moderate spices, just like she loved it.Of course, David being the loving husband he peeled prawns for his woman. He wanted to pamper her because when night falls, it would be his turn to be pampered.After dinner, the two were served with a bottle of ten year old wine." This is a special treatment for all couples here tonight." The waiter who served them explained.Tonight, David allowed Sheila to drink wine. As long as she would handle the consequences of her turning him on later, he did not mind.While occasionally taking a sip of wine from her glass, Sheila could not help her mind from wandering about Lily.Having gotten used to having the little bundle of joy around her, she could not help but miss her." I wonder how Lily is doing? Has she eaten
" I David Brown, take you Sheila Mason, to be my wife. Infront of the alter, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us apart." David recited, his eyes never leaving her, not even for a second With that said, he slipped the wedding ring to her finger." I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love and dedication to you. From this say forward, your joy is my Joy. Your problems are mine too, your heart is my heart and your dreams are my dreams.I promise to be devoted to you above all others, and to find in you, my husband, tbe light that is my home." Sheila said her part before slipping the wedding ring into David's finger." Los declaro en nombre de la ley y ante la sociedad unidos en matrimonio"By the power vested in me by law and before society, I declare you United in matrimony. The priest announced."Vous pouvez maintanant embrasser le mariée"You may now kiss the br
At Jomo Kenyatta international airport, the plane started descending. A lady's voice was heard from the intercom alerting all passengers to prepare for landing." Abiria wapendwa, asanteni kwa kuchangua Kenya airways kwa Safari yenu. Tunapotua kwenye uwanja wa kimataifa wa jomo Kenyatta, sisi wa Kenya airways tunawatakia furaha mnapozuru mji huu. Karibuni tena."" Dear passengers, thank you for choosing Kenya airways. As we land at Jomo Kenyatta international airport, we wish you a happy stay here. Welcome again."Sheila's eyes widened in surprise. She knew that they were headed somewhere in Africa but she did not know exactly which country.She had thought that perhaps David would take her to South Africa. Who would have thought that they were coming to Kenya. The very same ancestral country for her adoptive mother.Tears welled up in her eyes. She had always wanted to visit the country that gave her a wonderful mother, who would have thought that David would fulfil this dream for he
