jilted - Season 1 - Episode 42

*********** *************
Lagos, Nigeria.

?Hanna POV?
Kay said he wanted love yesterday, I was silent. he brought me back to the house and made sure he put me to sleep before leaving. I have thought about it, he’s cute but not rich. well, his pocket isn’t really the problem, the problem is me. I don’t trust him, my instinct tells me something is wrong somewhere, he doesn’t look real to me. Or am i guilty of prejudice? I like him but I feel Ambrose is the only good man on earth. Amos left me with a very big physical scar while Ambrose never left. He’s still sitting somewhere in my heart and i find it hard to love again. I tossed to the other side of my bed, it was 7pm in the evening and I found it hard to shut my eyes. I searched through my phone music library and click on the first music. It was Haira’s voice. “If love was a crime” was the tittle and she had dedicated the music to her husband.

Would you walk the aisle with me?

Would you tell momma about me?

If love was a crime ???
Would you sleep in jail with me? ?

Her beautiful voice sang, I angrily put the phone off in tears and ran towards my wardrobe, I searched through for my wedding gown and I slipped into it. sitting in front of my dressing mirror I cried, “Ambrose, I love you” I whispered letting the tears flow and dropping my head in my palms.

“Are you okay?” A familiar voice said and I starred at the mirror in front of me, I caught an image of Kay behind me.

“What are you doing here?” I thundered jumping out of my seat and clenching my hands under my dressing table firmly.
“Get out!” I fired looking in my mirror with blood shooted eyes
“Do your worse” He shocked me by slumping into my bed.

I turned around and look at him, I was soaked in my own tears and I could not bring my self to say a word. Anytime I try to, I end up hiccuping.

“There’s a message behind this wedding gown definitely but you still have to take it easy” He came towards me and pulled me into him.

“Easy, easy” He calmed me breathing into my hair.

he soon played a music from his phone “Far from you”. until I heard Haira’s voice, I was calm.

“Why is her song playing everywhere?” I pushed him violently and he struggled to maintain balance, his phone went crashing.
“I am sorry” I apologized when I saw the broken screen on his phone.

“She’s your sister right? You are a twin?” He asked making me sit on the edge of the bed.

“Yes” I nodded still sobbing.
“You hate her?” He asked and I gave her a scorn.

“She sings love, love. Does she know what it entails? She took love from me, she married my ex. look at me, Just look at my miserable life” I yelled getting out of bed and lifting my gown up slightly.

“This was suppose to be my wedding gown, I don’t know she hated me this much. I knew she was seeing him before the wedding plans, now they are married”
He dragged me into his warmth kissing my forehead.

“I am sorry, I discovered you are a twin few days back. That was how I started listening to her songs but I don’t know you despise her” He kissed my head and I hiccuped.
“I don’t despise her, she has what makes me happy. I just wish their marriage don’t go well, I miss him”

“Give me a chance, I would be like him” He whispered as he got my head on his chest.
“No one can take his place in my heart” I cried into his chest.

He withdrawal from me and went on his kneels, he dipped his hand in his back pocket and brought out a small box, flipping it open my eyes behold a beautiful sliver ring.
“I am poor

I have no gold
I have dried cheese
I have no wealth
But I do own a heart?
Walk down this aisle with me?
Let’s make our kids??
If love is a crime,
what would you tell to me?
if I say marry me?”

Yet another song from Haira. he sang it in his kneeling position and I was perplexed.
“You don’t even know me, marry you?” I yelled.

“I don’t know everything ?
But I know love
let’s take this fountain ?
Love is no fraud”
He sang again, ohhh Haira has finally succeeded in producing some of the best love music of all times.
