Zolabin’s Wedding

“It is a truth universally acknowled

ged, that a single man in posses

sion of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”-Jane Austen

Royal Church of Christ, Lagos

< Third Person’s Narration>

“Now between the two of you, is there any reason why you should not be joined together in Holy matrimony?

They both answered, “No.”

Pastor Freborn Obi continued, “Zolabin Egwu, say this after me.

I do somenly declare that I know not, of any lawful impediment, why I , Zolabin Egwu , may not be joined in marriage to you,Cynthia.

Cynthia also said the same thing.

Zolabin faced his wife-to-be.

She looked just beautiful and exuded such radiance and confidence that he couldn’t help smiling. It was such a solemn moment. The congregation cheered them.

The attendants seemed enthused with that moment of vow sharing.

To Zolabin,they were already husband and wife because they had eaten the “forbidden” fruit countless times already.

Perhaps the marriage was just a formality and the marriage certificate a mere piece of paper.

Now Zolabin Egwu , “repeat this vow after me.”

‘I, Zolabin Egwu , take you,Cynthia Eze, to be my wife to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish,till death

do us part,according to God’s holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow.’

Zolabin said those vows without any real feeling attached to it.

The pastor made Cynthia repeat the same vow.After that they signed the marriage certificate, took several pictures and went for refreshment.

The popular love song by Nigerian Musician Sunny Neji was flowing in the background of the refreshment ground as the love birds danced along other friends( mostly thugs) and relatives.

Oruka

Song by Sunny Neji

Oruka ti d’owo naa

Zolabin had planned to enjoy his Honeymoon in U.S.A.

Three weeks of sexual ecstasy. After the wedding, he enplaned to the United States; Las Vegas ,the most populated city in the state of Nevada with his voice.

The city was an internationally

renowned major resort city,

known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertain

ment, and nightlife, not to mention prostitution. It is nicknamed “Sin City” because of its high level of pimping and prostitution.

They lodged into Embassy Suites by Hilton Convention Center.

The two -room suites come complete with a double or king-sized bed and had features like spacious living rooms, a sofa and a 37-inch flat-screen TV.

In the evenings, they enjoyed complimentary drinks and a light snack during the evening reception

[ Rosaline’s Point Of View]

I was in my small room. I learnt

Zolabin had finally wedded his girlfriend, Cynthia. I heard the rumour from some of Zolabin’s men who passed by my cell.

They seemed excited their boss had finally tied the knot. My mind went back to my brother. “Mike , where are you?”I said, as if someone was there to provide me with the answers I seeked. As expected, there was a loud silence.

I wondered if he was recaptured by the police, or captured by Zolabin’s thugs and tortured to death.

“God ,help my only brother please!!!

***

I was contemplating on my brother’s welfare when when my door creak and was suddenly opened. One of the thugs materialised into the room. My intuition told me he was not in the room for any good reason.

I could see lust in his eyes.

I have made up my mind that the next man who would attempt to rape me will either die or I die.

My heart was full of dread and trepidation.

The thug said, “Today be today. Either you give me your honey or I take it by force like my boss.

His message was unequivocal. He wanted to rape me.

Then he went into action by pushing me onto the student mattress in the room. Then he advanced on me. He tried to lift my dress and pull down my pant.

I put up a steel resistance but he was stronger than me. After a nerve-racking tussle ,he forced himself through my thigh.

I recalled how Zolabin raped me and how weak my arms felt, like jelly. I still recall that sensation of utter helplessness.

I recall saying “no” several times. It didn’t matter to him.

Back to reality, the thug said, “I’m sure you will taste sweeter than your mother.”

Upon hearing my mother’s name, he unknowingly awoken the beast in me.

My weakened body suddenly became reinvigorated. I pushed him off like a piece of paper and slapped him.

We began fighting in the room.

In my mind’s eye, I saw my mother urging me on, “Yes, that’s my daughter. “Show him that an emotionally wounded lady is as dangerous as a broken mirror.”

He managed to push me down again and was forcing his “thing”

Through my V* area again. I didn’t know how I did it but hand with one powerful swing, I hit his head with with balled fist.

Infuriated, he brought out an iron rod and threatened me, ” if you shout I will hit you with this rod.”

He moved towards me again. As he was preparing to lower himself on me, he open his thighs while holding the rod in his left hand.

I quickly hit his “balls”. He screamed and let go of the iron rod involuntarily. I stretched my right hand and picked the iron rod while he held his swollen ‘balls.’

Before he attempted to take the iron rod from me, I quickly landed it on his head with a WHACK!!!

He let out a blood curdling scream. Some fluid jumped onto my lips. It was his blood. His body convulsed and twitched in agony.

Then he slumped to the ground motionless. I took his mobile phone and pushed him out of my way.

I then broke into a run.Passing through the front door, I sensed two guards were coming towards my direction. They were not yet on the corridor. I quickly turned the knob of one of the doors along the corridor. It opened.

I entered it and hide for a few minutes until their footsteps fade away.

I then tiptoed until I passed the corridor and diverted into the backyard. This time I didn’t climb the tree. The last time I was apprehended when I tried to escape, I saw a ladder in a small storehouse adjacent the wall. I moved in and luckily, the ladder was there. I dragged it and hauled it a bit until it leaned against the wall.Then I began climbing it.

My problem was, the top of the wall had been spiked so I can’t stepped on it without getting hurt.

When I reached the top of the wall, something dropped heavily on the ground. It made a loud sound. I didn’t have time to see what it was before Someone shouted. “Who’s there” and flashed a light. His light found me and he shouted,” the girl is escaping!!”

“Hmm. Now I have only one option. The painful one. I took my feet off the ladder, stepped between the spikes as they bite into my feet and jumped outside. Then I hear footsteps behind the wall in the compound . I landed on the ground painfully but I rose up and broke into a run for freedom. I knew if I was caught, I couldn’t guarantee I will be alive.

I could hear faint footsteps behind me. Then a head popped up on the ladder. “Hurry up, she’s running away.” A thug told his colleagues.

I ran and ran until I could hear them no more.

***

Will Rosaline run away this time successfully or she will be caught again.?

What is happening to Mike?
