People wept for Caleb while others gossiped. I wished I
could go and console Caleb, but for the fear of Curtis, I walked out of the
premises in tears. Immediately I stepped out, I bumped into Doris. Kukua, I am
glad to see you once again but unfortunately, the pain is too much for me to
bare. She stated sadly. Doris, I am weak, I am so weak. Caleb is too good to
suffer this way. I responded in tears. God knows best Kukua, He knows why He
allowed him go through all these pain. Probably, He has prepared a better and a
decent woman for him whom he is yet to meet. She responded. While talking at
the entrance, Caleb and his parents stepped out of the church, and was about to
enter into their car. Kukua, I'm glad you came. Caleb stated immediately he saw
me. Caleb I am so sorry for your pain. This shouldn't have happened to you. I
responded in tears. Caleb! What are you still doing with these poor girls?
Ain't you sad for how one of them has deceived you? Mrs Bentum yelled at her
son. I will see you later Kukua. Caleb stated in haste and joined his parents
in the car. You still had the guts to show up here right? You still found your
way to attend my brother's wedding? Who knows if you are not the bad luck
behind these predicaments? Curtis asked after his parents had driven away. I
expected you to rather apologize to me for siding with that murderer called
Cally to manhandle me but I can see you have no shame. This is an opened place
and not that your home where you rule like a heartless insensitive human being.
I responded harshly. Don't forget that, poor people have their rights too.
Their right to go wherever they want. If you have problems with that, then I
suggest you sue the government with your riches. I added. You dare talk to me
this way? I swear, I will deal with you. He threatened. Tell that to cowards,
and I'm sure they will be frightened. As for me, I have had enough of an empty
lightheaded person like you. Now if you don't mind, I will like to make good use
of my legs by walking back home, whiles you drive in your 50\50 life survival
car. And don't forget to be humble, because, riches are not a guarantee to long
life, but humility is. I teasingly responded and walked out on him. See you
later Kukua. Doris bid. I got home in pain and sorrow. God why did you allow
Caleb suffer this way? I thought. Later in the night while sleeping, I had a
call from Awuah. Hello dear, how did the wedding go? Why didn't you call me
afterwards? He asked. The wedding went well Awuah, but unfortunately, I was
having a slight headache when I got home, that was why I couldn't call you. I
responded. Whiles talking, I heard someone knocking at the door. Kukua who is
knocking at your door at 11am? Who is that? Awuah unhappily asked. I quickly
went to check and it was Caleb. Awuah please let me call you back. I said. No
Kukua, I won't hang up. Who has the effrontery to visit my woman this night,
who? He yelled. Calm down Awuah, I said I will call you back. I responded
confusedly. Kukua, I can see you are on phone, I'm sorry for coming here this
late, I will see you tomorrow. Caleb stated and began walking away. No Caleb
please come back. Please don't go. I pleaded. Kukua understand me, I don't want
to cause problems for your relationship. Caleb responded and entered his car.
Caleb, it isn't any relationship, Awuah is my friend. Please come back, he will
understand. I pleaded but he drove away. Kukua, you dare deny me in front of
another man? You dare? Awuah harshly spoke. Awuah what is wrong with you? Are
you this temperamental? I asked. Why won't I be temperamental after wasting my
money on you? How many men in this modern world will buy a phone for a woman
who is not yet his wife? Do you think I am stupid? Kukua do you? He yelled. Now
listen to me, tomorrow I will storm your house, and let's see who has the right
to enter your house apart from me. He threatened and hanged up. What? I can't
believe my ears. Is this the kind of man I've been admiring all these while?
And God, why did I even give him directions to my house. I am doomed O God! I
thought. I called him back several times but he refused to answer.
