THE FINAL EPISODE OF PIA
I was the Chief bridesmaid for Cecelia, my dad was very happy, he has lost hope of ever getting married after so many unfortunate happenings,
Cecelia has given up on love, and she was just contented of having a job and a roof over her head, she has never expected the way her life turned out,
My dad love Cecelia and Cecelia sees my dad as her hero, while I was away they found solace in each others arm and fell in love
Love could be found even in a strange and unexpected places, sometimes we don’t really need to go far, all we need to do is to look closely,
I watched them say I do to each other in a small gathering of people, they both agreed that they don’t need a luxurious wedding and it was strictly by invitation, despite it wasn’t a elaborate wedding but it was lovely one and i watched my dad klzzed his bride, I was so happy for them, I’m glad to be part of their love stories, my dad found a wife and a friend in Cecelia, Cecelia need not worry about anything because my dad’s @ssurance covers her.
Love indeed is a beautiful thing when you are with the right person. sometimes it takes years to get the right one, no matter how Long it takes to be with the person our heart feels at peace with it worth the wait. being with a wrong partner kills faster than one can imagine.
My dad went on a honey Moon with Cecelia, I went ahead planning with Jerry on our own coming big day,
No day p@sses I don’t think of how to bring my dream to reality, my dream of owning a fashion house, which will be more of African prints, June is a fashion lover like me and she also has idea of sewing, having being practicing after leaving high school, my planned for her is to work with me in the future, she will be my model and also a designer, my Dad already made arrangements for her to travel out for studies just like I did, my Dad knows how much I loved her and how much impact she made in my life, it was his little way of saying thank you to her, the news got to her parents and siblings and they couldn’t contend their joy that June was traveling out to study abroad, their Joy knows no bound, my dad already knows she was aunty Koh’s daughter but for the sake of June he let the past remain where it belong,
My dad said if I can forgive them who’s he not to do the same, after all he also played a bad role in the beginning of my life and I still calls him dad, all his happiness was that they didn’t disfigure me or destroyed me, it was only their scars that is left on my body which is not life threatening, he thanked God for that,
I
Everyone
Thinking and remembering all this made me flash back to the people who acted as a hindrance to my success story and those who were a blessing in disguise, whichever role any one of them played, either good or bad, it was the little or big part they were suppose to feature in, they all played their role perfectly well,
and as God was leading me home to my father, devil was busy setting obstacles just to make sure I don’t get to my destination, I’m glad he didn’t succeed, I am exactly where God want me to be, I’m glad I made it, I never hate those who played the negative role in my life, devil was just behind their scripts without them knowing but he is a loser, what the enemy meant for my downfall did not only make me stronger but also turns out to be a multiple blessing for me.
Writers always say that life is a journey now I understand,
my Dad and Cecelia came back from honey Moon with a magnetic Smile and I knew they had a squeal time, it was obvious they had lots of fun. I can’t wait to fly out on a yacht with Jerry, go cruising on the Bahamas, lodge in the open night island, have lots of fun,
Jerry couldn’t Wait to fully have me to himself, it has being a long road for us, patiently waiting for the right time which was in a few weeks time.
Invitations has being s£nt out, my Mom was mostly around, helping me to put things in order and Cecelia wasn’t Left out, Bright was coming with Lano, they were already in a relationship, Lano and Felicia was among bridesmaid, June was my right hand lady, we are s£nding a bus down to get aunty Koh and husband with Midi and whoever Mom was inviting, Bright Will also drive my step Dad, Anthony down,
Everybody was busy for my big day, my dad and Richie were not left out, Jerry’s people all arrived safely, I met those I haven’t met before
My dad and Mom planned a big wedding for me, it was going to be on televisions magazine and blogs, Ken Brown’s daughter, Pia was getting married, it was the news in town, dad’s big friends were coming, paparazzi were already on ground capturing anything that they Will turn into an interesting gossip, for people,

I was already shedding tears as my dad klzzed my forehead, June gently cleaned my eyes so that my tears will not spoil my makeup, she was shedding few tears of her own as she listen to my dad speak to me, she was the only one I allowed to stay behind during the talk with my dad.
My Dad walked me down and handed me to Jerry,
And we were pronounced as husband and wife, reception followed, drinking eating dancing, pictures and congratulations.
Me and Jerry left for our honey Moon, then the news came that Cecelia was expecting and later gave birth to another beautiful baby girl for my dad, he was so excited as he spoke to me over the phone, Cecelia called and said I have got a baby sister who can’t wait to meet me,
all
I was later based in American with Jerry, where I finally set up my fashion school, my dream came true, June was with me all through, she was very helpful during my expecting period.
my Prince charming came a year after my wedding,
he was so cute like his Father, we both name him after my dad, Kennedy, Jerry was so happy that he is a father, he was going to be called a Daddy, he cried when he held our little boy for the first time. I was so happy that forgot what labour pain feels like,
While I nursed my baby, Kennedy, June was foreseeing things in the fashion school on my behalf, June was very royal and was gradually becoming a fashion icon,
Keisha and Moore do visit us, they were already engaged and was about getting married in Moore father’s church, the Baptist church where me and Jerry with June worship,
I’m so blessed having a man like Jerry, he is selfless, so forgiving, so supportive, so loving and very teachable, I can’t ask for more than what God has blessed me with.
I speak with everyone back home, my Dad, Cecelia, my Mom and step siblings, I also speak Aunty Koh, who sometimes call to check up, she remain grateful to me and my dad, for showing her kindness, having and taking Care of her daughter June, my dad is sponsoring June’s education here in America, and she is learning fashion in my school, June is turning out beautiful, she love making statement with her design just like I thought her, business is growing, Jerry is doing well for himself over here and My Prince charming, Kennedy is growing so fast, I’m expecting my princess in four months from now,
Kennedy who is already a year will have a sister soon.
My life sound like a fairy tale because it was designed by God.
I have come to understand that a simple act of kindness can create an endless ripple.
