The marriage was the talk of the town, I esc-rted her to her husband house, I spent one week with her in the city before coming back to the village, some people think is not right, for a elder sister to esc-rt her own junior sister to her husband house, but I am not bothered with whatever they say. The worst of it is that, I am now the latest gist of our gossipers. One day I was coming from the market, I walk pas-s two girls, I was in the front, while they were at my back, no far distance between me and them, they still mocked me
GIRL 1: just look at her
GIRL 2: hahahaha, dont mind her, our village fool
