SHATTERED EPISODE 14

That moment when you find love, trust and honour in the eyes of everyone.
That moment when your worst enemy becomes the demon himself.
That same moment when your best moment becomes your worst nightmare.

Enjoy the thrills of how far life would sacrifice for love. Yesterday is always a shadow you can not escape, today is a dream worth living, yet tomorrow shall forever remain the wonder of nature hidden to all.

A *shattered* past in itself is a shattered tomorrow.


*SHATTERED*

EPISODE 14

I didn't know who to hug so I ran to Auntie Dela and hugged her, then to the man to shake hands with him.

I reached for my bag and made the final payment. There was no time to waste. The things were really nice. I tried to arrange them nicely in the carton,  but the man said, "there is another surprise for you. You can't present this carton to your friend so I brought another carton for you. I placed it outside because I didn't want you to see it. Wait here, I will get it." He came back with a very beautiful and colorfully designed carton. "Here, take a look at it. Isn't it beautiful? At our place, unless you don't buy customized plates, if you do, you are sure to go home with such things as surprises. Now, let me help you with the packaging so that you see for yourself the last but not the least surprise", he added.
Huh? Another surprise? No no no, but why will Auntie Dela do all these? If I should go there on three ocassions, I'm sure I will collapse her business. I looked at her without saying a word. I'm sure she knew what I was thinking of so she said, "Dede, the money you paid for covered for those things.

All I did was to get you the face towel and reduce the prices on the things you bought for the wedding. You actually paid for them so you deserve them". I paid for them? How? But I didn't pay any huge amount of money because I returned with much amount of money. At this time, I just couldn't wait to see for myself the last but not least surprise. He finally covered the items. I saw the bold inscription in italics (congratulations my bride. From Dede to Ma-uuda). These people kept surprising me. My eyes were filled with tears. I wanted something nice to surprise her but I least expected all these. I went on my knees and showed my appreciation. My eyes couldn't hold my tears anymore. God bless them. The man helped me to my feet and said, "I got you something nice from my madam. She told me you got some other things which you were going to present tomorrow. I will advise you don't package those things.

Since you bought a luxury handbag and watches, we got for you a *Daniel wellington* poly bag. Just put the items in and present them. Now, I'm done so I will take my leave", he said and turned to walk away. I ran to him and showed him my appreciation for the last time. Auntie Dela also got up from the chair. I'm sure she was leaving. She said "Dede, we are done. Hope you love the things. We really enjoyed doing business with you. You can come around anytime you want to get something for yourself. I will leave with him to my friend's place then drop him at the shop." I was just short of words. I hugged her so tightly and blessed her. I requested for her number so that I could reach her. I just didn't have enough words to show my appreciation. I'm sure calling her often will perform the magic. I escorted them to the car to make sure they had left, then came back to my room.

I stood there to watch the things. They were really nice to present as gifts. I checked the clock and time wasn't far spent. It was exactly 12:26pm. I now realised I was hungry. I opened my fridge, got some rice and stew, microwaved it and enjoyed. I brought out the items for the wedding, placed them neatly in my bag with the poly bag, collected the dresses from the bed to the chair, then jumped unto the bed. It was time to rest without any disturbance. I picked my phone at placed it on silent mode. All calls could wait. I had to enjoy this sleep fully since I would be having a busy time from 6:00pm till God knows when.
