Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 31

Ron finally arrives at imperial Royal where they had booked to have their after party and also have their first night as husband and wife before travelling
for their honeymoon, he packs his car and comes out, he takes to his heels and passes the decorators without saying hello, the mood in the place is really
a party mood but everyone is frozen on seeing a man who is supposed to be at his own wedding reception by now, and what’s more he looks wasted and something
was wrong somewhere…….. Ron runs and gets to their booked room and finds the ladies have done a tremendous work……the floor of the room has botanicals
and some petals with red roses scattered here and there with few white ones complementing them, the readily arranged candles waiting to be lit, but what
really stands out is the beautiful design in the middle of the king size bed, it’s a pillow on it it’s written ‘you and I forever Melanie ‘…. this catches
his attention and he walks over there clutching on to it like his life now depends on it, he tears up and bursts again
“I’m so sorry Mel…. so sorry for being a total jerk please forgive me” he wonders how she must be doing now, where she might be, if she’s admitted in
a hospital or she’s already committed suicide

“I’m so sorry, so sorry Mel…. I hope one day you will be able to forgive me because I swear I love you with all my heart and my promise to find the man
responsible for all this still stands” he wails and it continues until when his best man arrives and begs him to let him take him back home

“I don’t want to go home….I just want to die”

” There is no one on this earth who wants to die, even when you go to these hospitals and find someone with the most painful sickness, who can not have
a pain free day don’t think he will take the news that he might not live longer in good faith so don’t call for something that’s never going to happen
much less something you don’t really mean”

“I will take my life, I have to end it because I’m so useless and I don’t have a reason to live” the best man looks around and spots white bedsheets, he
picks one and hands it over to him

“Here take it, let me be your guest and let me watch it, I’m sure this is strong enough to finish your neck” he looks serious and Ron is shocked

“Are you crazy?”
“You see…..you never meant those words after all, if anyone should take her life it should be Melanie not you, no body forced you into doing whatever
you did to her today” Ron is quiet
“Let’s go, I need to sneak you out of here”
“How is she….”

“How shall we know if we are here”
“Please Peter, I need to see her, take me to her….I can’t afford to be hated by Melanie…. not her please”
“Relax…. I don’t think meeting her right now is the best thing to do, you both are still in shock and panic after this stress and it’s getting late…it’s
already coming to six pm… let’s go before anyone here tips the hungry Media guys we’re here” Peter finally convinces Ron to return home…………

Tobi arrives at the boutique to find a very lovely lady you surprisingly is Mel’s size she greets him with smiles
“Welcome to my boutique Sir…. as you can see I only sell women stuff and I can tell you’re here to shop for a woman”
“That was pretty sharp of you young Lady”
“Hahaha I know these things, Nina is my name so how may I help you, do you know her size well because it’s always a big task for men here to shop for women
in their absence”

“That won’t be a problem”
“Oh I see you know her pretty well in size, is she your sister” that question he wasn’t expecting

“She’s my fiancé” her eyes glitter
“Then come with me this side, let me be the one to do the picking…. which is her favourite color”

“Huh…..”
“Get off that look you’re too young for that hahaha…. I mean her favourite color”
“She doesn’t have any”
“Huh….she doesn’t???. .. kind of strange which woman does that”

“Well, maybe she does and I have never really paid attention because she has almost every color”

“Then in that case let me look for the best”
“Excuse me miss”
“Nina”
“Sorry Nina…. actually I don’t only need one, the truth is she had come to pay me a visit and didn’t really plan on staying but something just came up
and she’s forced to stay, I can’t tell for how long”

“Don’t worry, maybe three dresses and two shorts plus two trousers and a few tops would do”
“Won’t that be too many”
“OK, sit still and let me help you, no one wants to put on the same thing forever”
“But she’s just not any woman rather she’s my woman, I know her and for staying home just, I would say those are too many”
“Fine….but size”
“You”

“Cool…” Nina helps Tobi pick out a few dresses and other things, he remembers she must need some underwears too because he’s sure she just has one that
she’s putting on right now yet he’s not sure if he should pick a few, after debating within himself, he picks a dozen and two African foot wears and heads
to the supermarket where he picks out some few things and then heads home, he calls his Mom on his way back saying he’s not coming back home but she shouldn’t
worry…………..
