SHATTERED EPISODE 16

From the writer of

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 16

I can at least sleep now.
I slept like a baby and woke up around 5:53pm. I didn't have enough time to waste. I had to wash down, get something to eat and think of how to get the things to Ma-uuda's end.
I got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom. Getting a cold shower as at that time relieved me of much stress. I sometimes wasted much time, not because I had to, but because I was enjoying the water. I tried so hard not to waste time at the bathroom this time around. I had something important to attend to. I wrapped myself with my big towel and rushed to the room after I was done bathing. I locked the door, took the towel off and smeared pomade on my skin. I couldn't go a day without pomade, though it was late. I reached for my undergarments, put them on and sat to think of what to eat.

I needed to take something light since food would be available at the program. I didn't want to go there on empty stomach, maybe, we might also delay in eating due to the celebration. I sat down endlessly without knowing what to eat. Maybe it was God's own way of telling me not to take in anything else my abdomen would become big. I needed to look good in that dress. Now I had to think of how to get my things to the place. I looked at the time, it was catching up with me. I dressed up, applied my light make up, picked my handbag and went to the roadside to get a cab for the things. We sped off to the location as I directed him.
Driver: I know the place very well. Is it not the house of the wealthy man? I mean the man whose daughter is getting married tomorrow?

(I wanted to be sure he knew what he was talking about?)
Driver: I just dropped one lady there. She also went along with a box. She said they are having something like "ladies night" or whatsoever. She gave her name as Patience.
Me: oo okay...that's right. That's exactly where I'm going so hurry up please. It seems I'm late.
I checked my wrist watch and it was 6:38pm. We were not far from the place. I relaxed comfortably at the back seat till we got there. I was thinking of how to hide my things without anyone seeing it before the presentation.

The driver helped me to put the things down and I paid him off. There were soo many cars parked on the compound. I thought it was supposed to be a small get together. Well, that was none of my business. One guy ran to me and asked, "good evening madam. Your name please?" I mentioned my name and he said, "you must be here because of Madam Ma-uuda. Please take your key to your room. If you have anything, our boys will come around to help you to put it there so that as and when time is ready for your presentations, you go get them."
Wooow...that was a well planned event. I asked him to get me the boys because I had something to put in the room. He directed me as the boys also carried the carton.

I could read from all indications that they were suffering because it was heavy. I thanked them when we got to the room and asked where the rest were. I joined them at the hall to have some chit chat. The celebration had not yet started. I looked around but Ma-uuda was nowhere to be found. I guess she was preparing. She was supposed to be the last person to show up since it was her day and we would lead her to the table of "honour".
