The wedding was a
success, with families and friends who graced the occasion. Richard was the
best man, while Sophia was the chief bride’s maid, the siblings looked like
couples.
Thessy insisted she
won’t best Wemmy, she said she should be the one running around that day in
order to make sure everything turns out well and not sitting behind the Bride
doing nothing.
And she was right,
she was every where fixing everything that needed to be fixed. She’s a selfless
friend, many friends would kill to be the chief Bride’s maid but that does not
bother her, her priority is the success of her friend’s wedding.
Trust Wemmy, she almost
brought down Thessy’s head for that, it was after the wedding that she realized
what Thessy did for her. She was really proud of her, she has just one close
friend and she’s the best.
Feranmi was the
happiest man on his wedding day, He married his friend, the love of his life
and that’s the best thing that can ever happen to a man.
The thought of
getting married without a job scared him to death, but anytime he looked into
the eyes of his beautiful wife he found courage, strength, hope and love that
bears it all.
After the reception,
the bride’s parent came to bid them goodbye, Wemmy, her mum and siblings are
all crying even her dad was a bit teary too, they will miss her.
They got home that
night, they prayed and thanked God for the success of their wedding, He
miraculously surprised them, gifts and money came from left, right and center,
God got it all covered.
Feranmi has always
dreamt of their first night together, he was about making out with her when he
realized she’s not in the mood, they had a long day and he knew they both had a
lot on their minds, so he let her be, they showered and slept.
Feranmi woke up
around 4am, and was surprised to see her wife awake already.
“Baby why are you not
sleeping” he asked.
“I woke up not quite
long, there’s something I’d like us to discuss”
He sat up, “what is
it?”
“I’m sorry I turned
you down last night”
“I understand you are
tired, you don’t need to apologize”
“I don’t want us to
make baby for now, until we are financially stable”
“Wemimo is that the
reason why you turned me down last night, that is not an issue, we can use
protection for now, then we can go for family planning later, if that’s what
you want”
“I don’t want to use
protection” she said firmly”
“Meaning?” he asked
“Meaning we are not
having sex until we are financially stable”
“Jesus Christ! I
can’t believe we are having this conversation. Tell me you are joking, we dated
for two years and I never pressured you for sex, you think it was easy? And now
that we are now married you came up with this ridiculous idea?” he yelled.
“Sweetheart, try to
understand ….
“Make me Wemimo,
ma…ke me, there are many ways we can prevent pregnancy, not having sex is not
an option. This is 21st century for crying out loud. Or is this my punishment
for loosing my job, this is so unfair but you know what? Sooth yourself”
“I’m not punishing
you”
“Then what in God’s
name is going on here?”
“The truth is that
I’m bittered, not at you but with myself and with the way life treated us, I
know marriage do have it’s ups and downs but I never knew it will be this
early. Feranmi I don’t want to sleep with you with the way I am right now, I’m
broken please give me time to heal” she pleaded
“I’m sorry for
yelling at you, I don’t want to fight with you”
“I don’t want to
fight with you either, but I can’t do this right now, I’m not trying to be
selfish here, but please do this for me. I know it’s hard”
“Baby, I know you are
a strong woman, you encouraged and gave me hope and that is why we are here, the
only problem here is that you believe you brought this upon us, but you are
wrong. I’m sure your ex has forgiven you, I mean us, he’s doing well, he even
got married before us but you refused to forgive yourself”
“Please all I need is
time, I beg of you”
“Come” he said and
she moved right into his arms.
“Take all the time
you want my love, I’ll be right here when you come around, I’m always here” he
said and kissed her forehead.
“Thank you for your
understanding, I can see I married my own husband. I love you”
“I love you more”
Feranmi was not happy
with this arrangement, but what choice does he have, he proposed in his heart
never to allow that to cause a drift between them.
