It really is hard to live without someone you thought you would spend the rest of your life with. Words can turn your life into a complete mess.
.... WAS IT A CURSE OR IT WAS NEVER LOVE? ....
I was a beautiful day in the centre of the town where my wedding was hosted. I had to go through my last phase in life before I retired at the age of 65. It wasn't a good feeling knowing that I didn't sleep with my 'wife to be' because of her cultural purposes. In all of the 25 years we met, and never missed a day of not being with each other on our bed we named (A Holy Place) we now had to have our first night apart.
I took a sit waiting for the delivery of my suit and looked at myself in the mirror. As old as I was, I was no longer too concentrated on how handsome I looked, I just didn't feel good.
I took a towel and wiped my sweat, but the more I wiped, the more it felt I sweated. "Urgh, I can't believe my friends left yesterday after our bachelor party, now I have nobody to talk to". I searched around for my phone but I couldn't find it. Loneliness, it is. No phone, no friend, no wife, no kid and not even a pet.
In a few, I heard cars hooting, I knew it were some of my friends, and I went to open the gate on my pyjamas and champagne in my left hand. Surprisingly it was the delivery of my suit and a Strange Chevrolet with black windows. "As far as remember I didn't invite any ministers in my wedding". A man in black came off the car and went as fast as he could to reach to me before I could even got out of the gate. (I was nervous, because in movies such men are sent to kill). "Eyyo old man, am not here for a chit chat, but postpone the wedding before you get embarrassed", he said taking his glasses off.
"O-kay, and who are you?", I asked in Shock.
He seemed to remind me of the words one of my childhood friend said when we were playing a 'parenthood game', (Who would marry a loser like you, and I wish you never get married). Well since the man knew so much, I had to ask more but her never answered any of my questions, he answered in riddles instead.
When he turned back, a women who had my suit was standing behind her car. The scene we had was intimidating, any being would be intimated. She came running asking "Are you alright?" and I played manly pretending to be alright.
Later at 10, everything was in place, and I couldn't wait for the moment I put the ring on her finger and kiss as cheers to an unending marriage. Cars were waiting, to transport the one and only groom. I tied my lace as I stood up, in my Italian Silver suit and looked myself in the mirror one more last time.
My friend borrowed me his phone to make a phone call and hear if my wife to be was ready, but Nobody picked the phone. I started getting stressed because going without knowing where my the lady of the day is, is pointless.
The words started kicking as I had a flashback of back then when my neighborhood friend wished me all that and I took it for granted because I was too you young to reconsider things and understand. I was lost in sad thoughts and memories.
"Hey buddy", my friend waving his hand in front of me as a sign that he has called me a multiple times. "Was is a curse?, Do curses really work?" I asked myself with no answers. "What's the matter man?" he asked, but I pretended as if nothing was wrong.
I then saw a book lying down, I had to pick it up, thinking maybe it would cheer my mind. The tittle was (NEVER TAKE WORDS FOR GRANTED). "Am I dreaming", I asked myself as I wiped my eyes when seeing a quote in the summary (HIS SUCCESS CAME INTO DRAIN WHEN ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES WISHED CURSED HIM AFTER NOT TREATING HIM BADLY). I put the book exactly where I picked it.
In a few minutes we were at the wedding venue which looked good and decorated beyond the way I expected. I was walked down the red carpet to the refreshment room. I had to wipe my sweat and renew my make up, which wasn't much of a job when one of the make-up artist worked her magic and I looked much better than before.
While sitting, my friend came running saying "Buddy, its time". I looked at myself in the mirror, for the third time that day, which was unusual, because I stopped concentrating on mirrors when I reached fifty five years. I told myself "everything will be alright". I had to maintain my cool.
I smiled as I walked down the Isle with the mother of my future wife holding my hand but couldn't smile, which was surprising because she always smiles when she sees me and I return the smile back.
The music, was so amazing, it connected me with my emotions. I really had a story to tell to my wife at night in our Holy Place. When we were halfway the Red Carpet, I saw the same car I saw in the morning, parked outside our wedding venue. "What is this person doing here uninvited?" I asked myself feeling like I could throw my mother in law's hand away and look for the guy to really ask for his full intentions.
I calmed myself down as we stood near the Pastor. It was my fiance's turn to come. I couldn't wait seeing her after not being with her for a day that felt like 200 years.
We spent 10 minutes waiting, which was not normal, because she is a Punctual person. I couldn't stand the existence of the black car. I had a thought that maybe they kidnapped her. When I moved, to go and look for her myself, she then appeared, walking so slowly down the Isle, with my best friend Marcus.
When she reached to me, I held her warm hands that I have never gotten enough of holding. She was shaking and had tears covered by her Veil. "We all get emotional sometimes, expressing how she feels is normal, 'tears of joy, surely'.
The pastor couldn't stop finishing praying when I opened my eyes and saw the man who threatened about not getting married taking a sit, along with other 3 men. "What are they here for, to be precise?" I asked myself.
In a few was when we were asked to say our vows when she said the vows that were really hard to understand...... Spoken in riddles.
She then said "Sorry, I can't marry you, I am married to a man, who work overseas and he is coming tomorrow". Our relationship just ended like that. 25Years into drain and children after that.
((((((((((( THE LESSON HERE IS)))))))))
If you are holding grudge with anyone or if somebody says something bad even how unserious you think it is, as for the meaning and make peace.
Words can destroy a thing you think is solid.
Thank you!!!
