"My best! I can't believe you're getting married today." Esther kissed Ben and sat close to her, her baby was with David.
"I don't believe it either, but it's happening." Ben sighed, she touched her head and the crown stood firmly on her head. "Are you done?" She asked the make-up artist.
"Just the final touchings, and it's over." She responded to Ben.
"Alright. I'm so nervous, I have seen you and Annie get married, I saw how nervous you both were on your wedding day, now is my turn." She laughed. "I can't wait to see Roshan, have you seen him, what does he look like?" She was eager.
"Common, you will see him very soon. And Annie, where is she?" Esther noticed she wasn't around.

Its rays penetrated the window of the room where Ben was relaxing on the divan, lost in her own world different thoughts wandered through her mind some of which were of her ex-boyfriend, Daniel. "Bad dude" she muttered at the thoughts of him, she let out a small smile.

She groaned, if she was to make a wish at the moment, her one wish would be for the sun to shine less but who was she to stop nature from taking its course?She changed the direction of where she was seated and flopped on her queen-sized bed, the rays penetrated less at that side of the room where her bed was placed.

She told him."I talk say make you buy wetin you wan buy now before we continue the journey." He told her rudely."I'm not buying anything." She frowned and plugged in back her earphones.

Getting up from bed every morning was one of the tasks Ben considered herculean.Her mother always performed the ritual of pouring a half bucket of water on her whenever she was sleeping deeply and needed to be somewhere early.She whined when the blaring alarm woke her up,"Mom." She cooed, then opened her eyes and realization hit her that she wasn't at home."My bad." She chuckled, "Thought mom was here." She stretched and yawned, "Work starts today."It's been a stressful three weeks for Ben , moving to the camp ground was no fun at all from the morning exercises they had to go through everyday to the parading of different venues, collecting of call-up letters and looking for the director in charge of mobilization. The stress of walking around in the sun almost darkened her skin and she vowed never to stay in camp.

She asked uncertainly, hoping for a negative answer."Of course it is, you are his secretary."

When Ben was done taking the pictures, she went to the old woman."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting but I had to do that for documentary purposes." She smiled at her."It's fine, do you still remember the way to the doctor's office? I don't think I do." She asked Ben."Sure." They entered the building and walked in slowly.
