Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 03

********

It was a beautiful day with friends

and family members at the venue to

celebrate with Daniel and Nora. At first,

Daniel had thought Alex would be at the

solemnization ceremony to claim the

ownership of Nora or Gloria would

come to claim his ownership.

Since the incident had happened,

Daniel never called Nora to speak with

her, Nora never did too. Daniel who had

carried her in his car to drop her off at

home didn’t speak to her at all, even

when she got down from the vehicle,

none of them could bid a goodbye.

Daniel felt jealous that Nora could go

back to hug Alex, a day to the wedding

and Nora likewise, wondering if the love

Daniel had for her was a true one. If it

was, why would he go and New Gloria?

Though none of them knew the ex of

the other until that day the scene

happened.

Nora had felt Daniel was a

bad person, why would he even if try to

return back to Gloria for a hug, Daniel

too never accepted the fact that he was

wrong.

At least, it was Nora that hugged

Alex first, by the way, he couldn’t hold

himself back when he sighted Gloria.

None of them could put the blame on

him or herself, they both thought the

other counterpart was wrong.

Thanks to God that the wedding was

success, even though it was a very

tough part when they heard you may

kiss your bride. Daniel just let out a short

air from his mouth as he moved his

mouth closely and kissed the pretty

figure before him. He also knew she was

extremely beautiful that day.

It was a big surprise to the two that

they couldn’t interact well, even though

it was their wedding day. Daniel carried

Nora when it was time to take

photographs, and grinned mischievously

as if they were in good terms. One who

could study well would know things

weren’t nice between the two.

None could approach the other, it was

the beginning of their trouble.

The aroma of the food from the

kitchen filled his nostrills. His head went

both left and right almost

instantaneously as he shook off the

aroma. That was jollof rice that he could

smell well, he had thought as he opened

his eyes at once. It really was! He

affirmed.

Daniel turned his head to the left side

of the bed but Nora was nowhere to be

found. He couldn’t remember what really

happened the previous night, it seemed

he just entered into the room and

sprawled on the bed because he was so

tired. It wasn’t easy to be a groom,

especially one who was wise to play

between his wife and the invited guests

and family members.

“Did she sleep inside this room?”

Daniel had thought as he giggled.

Nothing more came to his memory than

he drove into the compund in his own

car and Nora was driven by the driver, in

her own car. That was the matrimonial

room, why wouldn’t she sleep there?

He took his stand slowly, walking to

the other side of the Queen-Sized

mattress to survey if there were shoes

or jewelries on the drawer, but he was

wrong, it really didn’t look as if Nora

slept inside that room.

He walked to the bathroom and

washed his face, took up his purple

brush and brushed his mouth up. He

walked out and put off his clothes into

casual wears, at least he had to check

out the house before getting set for

church service.

But, it was their wedding

thanksgiving, he had thought as he

thudded down the bed and jacked his

head down. He began to wonder why

Nora never came into that room to sleep

with him. Why? He continued asking

himself as if there were spirits around

that’d respond to him after a while. He

was wrong, no spirit replied his

questions. He just felt they were

rhetorical questions, but, it seemed the

rhetorical questions in his mind needed

answers.

Was she really angry because of his

reactions yesterday in the wedding

program? Was it because of Gloria’s

issue? He couldn’t just provide an

accurate answer to the puzzling

questions disturbing his life that

moment.

He swallowed again as he whisked to

his feet and pressed his lips together. He

clenched his finger and walked to the

front of the dressing mirror to check

himself out. “Daniel, I won’t eat that food

she’s preparing,” he thought as he

looked at his tall and handsome self. He

nodded along with his though and

turned around, he had to check the

compound, driver and gate keeper out

before dressing up for church.

He had always been warned to fast to

church but had never fasted, he felt that

day would mark he day of his effective

change. He walked into the living room

and turned his neck to view what was

happening in the kitchen, she was there

preparing breakfast.

He cleared his throat and cloistered

outside, into the compound.
