[ Lagos Nigeria ??]
? RICHIE ?
“Woah ! The background music played as we made entry into the Well decorated hall for the reception.
The guest had already started trooping in and it looked so colourful .
” Uncle Rich …help me ! Quincy said walking over to me whilst trying to raise his Agaba properly and I burst into laughter .
” What are you wearing ? I asked seeing he’d turned it upside down.
“It’s Dad he cursed it” he said frowning.
” You where looking fine some time ago ? I said suspiciously .
” Fine ..I went to ease myself ” he said blus-hing red in embarras-sment .
” Oo and you couldn’t set it properly again ? I laughed.
“Would you stop laughing and help me ? This is a matter of my dignity I can’t be looking like this on my parents Yoru-ba wedding ” he said pouting .
Did he just say Dignity ?
I laugh in China .
” Kiddo …you know what it’s traditional marriage” I corrected .
” It’s the same thing just help me .
” Hahahaha you can’t handle your nephew man ..what happens to your own child ? Preston laughed.
” As if you can handle your daughter ” I teased and the guys burst out laughing at him .
We where all dressed in the Yoru-ba cultural attire .
” The Wedding has not started , I’ve eating three plates ‘ Clark lic-ked his li-ps and his ru-bbed his hands .
” Hey what if you get a running stomach from eating way too much ? Caden said dramatically.
” You’d carry me home ” he grinned .
“We’d push you in a wheelbarrow and sell you off to the highest bidder ” Manuel laughed.
” I can now officially say heaven is very far from you ! I said and everyone burst into laughter.
” Do you guys Seriosely know all the people in this wedding ? Vincenzo asked wide eyed .
” Just wait and watch what will happen today , I’m pretty sure some of them are Aunt bummi’s church members remember she’s a prayer warrior in church ” I trailed .
” A prayer what ? Does her prayers even pas-s the roof ? Marco asked .
” Remember she told us she fights against flesh and blood ” Manuel said causing us to laugh .
” I can see a lot of Nigerian delicacies …here …” Lucas trailed and I rolled my eyes.
” You guys have turned foodies after you came here
” You nee-d to get married Richie …you’re getting Old ” Clark teased and they laughed at me.
” Which culture is the bride following since it’s a Nigerian marriage ? Caden asked.
” Still Yoru-ba …” I answered.
” Wow ”
We all made way to escort the groom into the hall .
The wedding ceremony officially began as the alagas from both side began their talks ,
Some people had already started dancing to the drums whilst some planned how they where gonna eat their morning afternoon and evening foods .
Especially aunt’s invities …I can’t believe she invited her market friends too .
The high-clas-s guests and foreign guests sat in their sits acting posh as the media covered the occasion .
” It’s time to dance in ” Feyi said to Damilare who took a de-ep breath .
My Dad and his him on as Manuel stood in front Dancing crazily with his agbada from left to right .
” Wait why is he dancing more than all of us ? Marco asked his
” Let’s just pray he doesn’t fall their wedding cake with his earthquake dance steps ” Feyi added .
His mom had invited one of their Yoru-ba distant cousin to act as the spokes man .
” Okay it is time for ” idobale” the man saidsaid
” What ? Ido …what’s that ? Are they changing Jackie’s name ? Her dad asked nearly getting an heart attack .
” It is a greeting custom of the yoru-ba people , whereby males prostrate placing their full bodies on the ground as a sign of respect and their che-st must touch the ground” he explained smiling .
” What the f*¢k that’s punishment , I mean why do we have to lay on the floor ? ” Vincenzo frowned in confusion .
” What sought of tradition is that ? Clark added .
” Hey listen and listen well ….I’m Egbon all the way from ibadan ….”
” I’m Manuel from Italy ” Manuel said and shook his hands.
” Manuel ! We all scolded .
” What ? I thought we were introducing ourselves ? He asked confused.
” It’s a tradition we have to do it ” Dami’s Dad explained .
” His name looks like his face ” Marco spat as we all postrait on the floor .
The guys continued glaring at the man throu-ghout the rest of the process whilst he asked different questions .
Soon We where permitted to take our seats .
The drums began again as the bride’s came out with her ladies who are wearing matching aso_ ebi ( members of the bridal train )
Mom and her sister ….Danced like their world depended on it …infact I kept praying Jackie’s mom didn’t fall face first from the heels she was wearing .
I couldn’t even un-derstand Selena’s gele .
They move forward with the programme after doing the necessary she was asked to look for her husband with a wine bottle and when she saw him she placed a hat on his head and then he carries her the process known as (igbeyawo )
He places a ring on her fingers and as she does the same they’re pronounced married in front of everyone.
The music began again ? As we all started dancing in groups .
Infact they opened ground for the craziness to take place .
Hahahaha .
I joined the guys as we sprayed cash around the couple’s as they did their couples Dance .
This is crazy ?

” I’m glad you’re finally my wife , and that our wedding didn’t get called off this time around ” Dami laughed as he brou-ght my hands close and ki-ssed it .
” What are they doing ? He asked laughing as we stared at Quincy Dancing With his grandma and her sister .
” Having fun ….” I trailed and he chuckled .
” Dami …” I called.
” Hmmn ” he answered as I stared at him smiling .
” Love i know I’m handsome , but the way you’re staring at me ….” He said s-×ily .
” You still act like this when you’re already a father of two ? I teased .
” Baby I know you call me Daddy when we ….hehe … and all of that but ….we only have Quincy now unless you’re ….” He trailed.
” f*¢k …are you pregnant? He asked grinning happily and I laughed .
” Hahahaha ” I laughed.

” I’m gonna be a father again ! He said excitedly and everywhere fell silent .
” Ah Oluwa oh ! My mother inlaw screamed happily and the drums began as mom threw her gele and twer-ked crazily with a champagne bottle in her hands .
” Mom ” I called as everyone laughed.

The wedding was the craziest event ever .

★A MONTH LATER★
?CHI DERA ?
” Richa-rd you don’t un-derstand , Dad is furious okay …” I said as I ru-bbed my face .
We’d planned everything and gotten a date for him to see my parents but due to how cultural Dad is, he was furious about me being knocked up .
I wonder who told him because it’s definitely not mom , she’s strict but not when it comes to Richa-rd .
” Baby calm down …!
” Calm down … Richie I told you …now you don gimmi belle ” I said in pigin .
” Baby ….it’s not my fault oh …it’s both our fault ” he grinned.
” Seriosely now ? Its you who couldn’t keep your hands to yourself …now I’m gonna look like a drum on our wedding day ” I frowned .
” You won’t like a drum now …isn’t it’s just 4 months …you still look s-×y …infact it’s your ….” He trailed.
” I don’t want to here your sinful words thank you ” I frowned .
” I’ve talked to my kungfu Queens …” He said.
‘ so that’s what’s giving you mind richa-rd ? Have you met my father’s elder sister ? She’s something else ..oh …I’d die if she finds out I’m pregnant sef ” I said nervously.
‘ what Century is she from ? Babe don’t bother …it’s not our fault ” he said ki-ssing my shoulders with a smile
” Stop giving me s-×y smiles it’s all your fault …if I say Richie I’m tired you’d start …..” I trailed.
” Ah I’m innocent oh ” he smiled.
” Innocent my foot …that’s how you’d be touching me ….” I said as my cheeks turned red .
” Touching you …how ?
” Richa-rd Nna ehhhn you can lie ….so now you’re feigning innocence …when you see wahala ahead .
” I asked
” So You’ve let out your Igbo tongue just because of arguments ? He laughed .
” Richa-rd I’m dead oh ….” I said and he ki-ssed my li-ps with a chuckle .
” Dayo …its you oh Even if I say I’m not in the mood that’s how you’d send your hands down there ….you’re a bad boy ….” I pocked his head as he laughed .
” Dera you know I can’t think straight when your pressing my Mumu bu-ttons especially with this your figure …I’m officially a mumu when you’re around ” He said and I burst into laughter .
” Don’t worry I’m not scared of you’re people we’d overcome the Huddle’s ” he added as I snuggled into him .

” Doctor C” someone called and I turned to the group of nurses as I removed my gloves .
” Can you join us tonight …we’d be having dinner …” They trailed as they tou-ched my hands fli-rtly .
” The other time at lunch was fun ” one of them said .
Lunch ? I wondered that was a business lunch .
” Feyi ….c’mon …we won’t take long …” The other one said and I heard someone clear their throat .
I turned and it was my fiancee I immediately removed my hands from their grip .
” Baby ” I said as I moved over to her and ki-ssed her forehead .
She looked at the girls and back at my face as she walked in front .
” Love you didn’t call me that you’re back from Paris I’d have picked me from the airport .
” You told me you where busy ” she said like it was nothing .
” I told you ….” I trailed.
” You told me you where busy Feyi … please Don’t get on my nerves I could see just how busy you where ” she snapped
” Adesua you can’t start that now I’m too tired for an argument …” I trailed and she ignored me throu-ghput the ride to my place .
” Feyi just drop me off at home ” she said and I ignored her .
” Remember we talked about you spending the night at mine ? I asked .
” I’m not in the mood to stay over ” she said and I controlled my anger knowing how fragile she is with words…..
“Feyi ” she snapped as I drove into my compound .
” Feyi I said I want to go home ” she said as I got into my Mansion and Locked the door with her in.
” What’s wrong with you ? You’ve been acting stupid ever since you came back from Paris ! I snapped angrily
” Stupid? Feyi you just called me stupid ? Do you even here yourself ? She asked voice shaking at the edge .
” I said acting stupid !
” It’s the same thing …I don’t blame you after all you’re the one with female colleguges fli-rting around .
” What the f*¢k …Ade ! I snapped .
” Don’t you dare snap at me Feyi. …you’ve been acting unfeeling these days and it hurts ! She snapped .
” Don’t turn the tables …” I snapped angrily.
” Why ? Because I’m the un-derstanding wife to be ? Feyi I keep up with you …! I call you and try my possible best to un-derstand your line of work….even when you don’t show up for my shoes “she trailed crying .
” I just had the biggest show of my career without the love of my life there to support me but I f*¢king un-derstood the fact that you had lives to save …!
” But did you call me back No …I spent two weeks in Paris Feyi ,you only called twice ! Twice for goodness sake …do you know how I felt ? Shit I still swallowed my pride and kept calling you throu-ghout ” she asked crying .
” I … ba-rely had time for myself ” I trailed .
” Yet you had the time the have lunch with your s-×y friends ”
” Don’t you dare accuse me of cheating ” I said hurt .
” It’s in men’s nature ” she shrugged .
” Oh really ? ” I asked with a bitter chuckle .
” Adesua do you know how ha-rd ….it has been for Me to remain celibate ? Whilst you keep yourself innocent till marriage ? I could have easily se-duced you but I didn’t….
” I respect you to the point I’ve never even cheated on you ! And this is what I get in return ? I asked voice breaking at the edge .
” You think that’s the point? See take me home abeg I’m jetlagged …” She said trying to hide her tears
.
” I HATE fighting with you ! I said and she looked away as she cried bitterly .
” My love ” I called and she just continued crying
” Baby ”
” I’m sorry …I’m so sorry …I just missed you so much and ….” She trailed crying .
” I know you’d never cheat …it’s just …”
” Hey I un-derstand … okay ever since Dami’s wedding I’ve been so f*¢king busy I know I hurt you ” I said and she stared at me with fat tears rolling outta her eyes.
” Feyi we nee-d to balance work and personal life. ..” she said sadly .
.” I promise I will and before you think nonsense next time just know. …I have my eyes only for you. , It’s not my fault I attra-ct female attention ” I grinned .
” You’re too handsome …it’s not easy being in a relationship with you …married and single women crushing on you anyhow. ” She said and I burst into laughter .
