SHATTERED EPISODE 5

From the writer of

Calabash

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 5

I thanked him and got down when we got there.
That night I couldn't sleep. I had to make preparations for the programme. What to wear for the bridal shower, the marriage ceremony and the gifts to get for her as well.
She may not be expecting something big from me,  but I had to surprise her. This was going to be her day and nothing should stop tears and laughter from dripping down her cheeks.
I quickly picked my phone, went on whatsapp and created a page comprising Mariama, Naa, Patience, Jocelyn and myself. It seemed they were all waiting to be called except for Mariama who was last seen on whatsapp around 2:28pm.
As soon as the group was created, Jocelyn posted a comment that got everyone laughing. "Perfect platform for 48-72 hours", she said.
Indeed, it was the perfect platform to address any issue concerning the task ahead of us.

I posted my first question which went like, "are we to wear same dress or color tomorrow for the bridal shower?". This brought many feedbacks but we eventually agreed that we wore same color,  but different dresses. Patience added that we all be in short skirt.
That was a cool idea as well.
The chosen color was sea blue and white since it was Ma-uuda's favorite color. We needed to make the best out of that day.
Naa followed with a question which also had different answers from us all. As for gifts, we had to choose our own varieties and make her happy.
We needed not to discuss that. We quickly drew the the curtain on that. I slept on my bed,still wondering where Mariama would be. It seems I was worrying my little head too much,  because it started aching. I took a glass of water which I couldn't even drink. I placed the glass of water near my bed and sat down.
Since sleep wasn't coming to embrace me, I would find something meaningful to do with my life.

I checked my airtime balance and realised I had enough bundle to get me online for my research. I needed to get a nice parcel which would surprise everyone.  Something small, but nice and classy. I wasn't getting what I really wanted. Perhaps, God wanted me to make good use of my mind instead of copying people. I logged out and went back to whatssapp. Guess you know what I went there to do. To check people's display profile (dp),maybe I would get something nice there. I scrolled till I could go no more... But something caught my attention.
I stopped to stare at it again to be sure I wasn't dreaming.
Mariama's dp was sick. Which noble lady will ever do this? To display a picture of herself and a guy almost naked and kissing?

I needed to talk some sense into her if she had lost it completely.
Thank God! She was online. As soon as I started typing, she went off. Nonetheless, I still had to go ahead. She would definitely see it.
She came back online few seconds after I'd sent the message.
Her reply didn't surprise me at all because she's been one hell of a girl since day one. "Mtcheeeew, how is that supposed to be your problem? Di wo fie as3m ewura. I knew if no one stalks me, you will come doing that",  was her reply.
She blocked me but I was quick enough to have saved the dp. I needed time to evaluate things. Was that the brother she was talking about? Hell No! She can't do that with her brother? Or?
Anyway, Mariama was capable of doing anything. My only fear was about her HIV status. She really needed to check it,  but who would convince her?
