Ghost Wedding - S01 E06

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 6

Days and weeks went by, calm returned to the families of Sonia and Steve. They acted calmly and the preparations for their wedding went on as usual. The venue for the reception was sorted out, invitation cards were distributed to friends, relations and colleagues.

Announcements were made in television stations, radio stations and the print media twice everyday.

By this time, Andrew had gotten the date and venue for the wedding and was eagerly waiting for the said date to come.

Henry got home one evening and decided to speak with Sonia his sister about their wedding preparations. But he noticed something strange that struck him. (Dream sequence).

“Baby sis”. He called smiling. “Yes big brother”. Sonia answered with a bright smile on her face, revealing the dimples on her cheeks.

“How far have you guys gone with the preparation? I hope the invitation cards are still remaining? Most of my friends have not gotten”.

“Yes big brother, we have more than enough to share. You have truly been there for us, God will bless you richly”. She paused, shook her head and tears rolled down her face.

“What is the matter Sonia, is everything okay?”. Henry asked.

“I wish we could be together forever, we have limited time here and our time is not far from now”. She said still crying.

Henry, confused and lost. “You are scaring me and I don’t like it. What are you talking about? What time are you talking about? Please make me understand.

“I love you Henry, when the time is right, you will understand. But be strong and know that I will always love you, in my new world, I wish to still have you as my brother”.

Henry, getting more confused and tensed responded. “I honestly don’t understand what you are talking about, I really don’t and wish not to understand. What new world are you talking about Sonia? This joke is an expensive one, just stop it”. He made to get hold of her to make her stop crying, but he felt nothing. He tried to hold her but couldn’t. “What is going on Sonia?”. He asked apprehensively.

“When the time is right, you will understand. When the time is right, you will understand. When the time is right, you will understand”. It kept echoring until Henry woke up.

He woke up and ruminated over the the dream.

“I don’t understand this at all. What is actually going on? The more I try to understand what is going on, the more confused I get. Hmmmmm! Anyways, time shall tell”. He was lost in thought, not knowing his phone had rang severally. It was Abigail, Steve’s sister calling. When he saw the missed calls, he dialled her.

“Hello Henry, been calling you”. She said. “Yeah, so sorry my dear, been sleeping”. Henry answered. “How are you?”. He asked.

“I’m fine Henry, there’s something I’d really like us to discuss. When will you be chanced?”. She asked.

“Can we see this evening? If that’s okay by you?”. Replied Henry.

“Okay, this evening will be fine. Let’s meet at the eatery close to my house”.

“It’s ok Abigail, when I’m leaving the house, I’ll let you know so you can start coming”. Henry answered.

“It’s ok Henry, I’ll be expecting your call”. She said and ended the call.

– Later in the evening –

They met at the eatery as agreed, Henry got there before Abigail who arrived few minutes after Henry’s arrival.

“Welcome Abigail”. Henry said, pulling out a chair for her to sit. “Thank you Henry”. She answered as she sat.

Henry ordered for cups of ice cream for them, it was heat period and they needed something chilled. They got discussing.

“Thank you Henry for coming”. Abigail said as she sips from her cup of ice cream. “You welcome dear, I had to come because I actually needed to see you as well”. Responded Henry.

“That’s nice”. Said Abigail. “The reason I called you here is this. You know in our different families, you and I are seen as people that are insane. They don’t believe in anything we say, especially when Steve and Sonia wanted embarking on that journey. Last night, I had a dream where Steve told me strange things”. She paused to look round if anyone was close listening and Henry paid more attention hearing her said he (Steve) told her strange things in her dream.

“I was discussing with Steve in my dream and he told me they (Sonia and him) only returned to finalize their wedding preparations, that they would be returning to their world after the wedding”. Henry couldn’t hold himself, as he interrupted.

“Are you for real Abigail?”. He asked expressing shock. “Yes I am, responded Abigail.

“Hmmmm, this is strange. I had same dream. As a matter of fact, I was in that dream when you were calling. That was why I didn’t answer you until I got up from sleep. My sister Sonia told me same thing in my dream. Abigail, are you thinking what I’m thinking?”.

“Henry, if I tell you that I’m not confused, then I’ll be lying to you. How come you and I are always getting similar or same revelation or seeing same things? Steve told me in the dream that “when the time comes, I will understand”.

“Hmmmmmm! What is going on? That was the last thing Sonia said to me before I woke up. As a matter of fact, the words kept echoring even after I’d woken up”. A shocked Henry said.

“Like they said, when the time comes, we will understand. Let’s wait for the time to come”.

“Yeah, waiting for the said time”. Henry answered as they had their ice cream and other things before leaving.
