“I can’t believe that this wedding will take place today, this morning, infact right now.” Mandy said, pacing while Pacuto helped my necklace
“Look, you need to calm down, you are making Sonia sweat, she is as nervous as hell.” Pacuto replied.
‘What exactly did he was he was handling Sonia, thought he was going to cancel the wedding!”
I sighed as Mandy bombarded me with lots of questions to which I had no reply.
“Look, Ben told me, to trust him, he said he forgave me okay?” I replied.
“Forgave you for what exactly? For falling for another man? For sleeping with another man or for still being in love with another man or what, I don’t get it!.”
Someone opened the door, it was one of the clergy men-
“The priest is around, do hurry up.” He said quickly before leaving.
We were in one of the rooms of the chapel and well, believe it or not Sonia, it is your wedding day.
My friends were confused, I was confused but Ben said to trust him, he said he forgave me and that he hopes I would forgive him too, I had no clue what that meant and everything had gone as it was supposed to, he had travelled again but came back on time for the wedding….my friends thought it would be cancelled, first I was lost, the wedding was cancelled, and now, I am here, would I still cancel? Ben said marriage was for better and for worse and that we would figure it out later, he wanted me to trust him and that means no more talk of Calvin. well, he was right, after all, Calvin could be anywhere in the world right now besides, he was free of the curse, I wouldn’t want to be responsible for anything ….the whole idea of me coming home was so that I could live a happy life with Ben, a happy life that I have not actually understood, what does it mean actually? Could it be, being in my wedding gown and wondering what happiness actually means? Well, right now, I had no clue and my friends were not helpful.
“Here.” Mandy said, trying to fake a smile as she handed me my bouquet.

. I knew this was wrong and I had no idea why I was going ahead with it, maybe because I thought Ben had actually done so much and I didn’t want to break his heart…yes….that was true actually, he said he didn’t tell me about Michael because he thought it was best left behind us….he wanted us to have a chances, he has been so supportive, I wish I could share my feelings instead with him…but I couldn’t, hopefully, after the marriage, I would finally get rid of Calvin, maybe this was the solace I needed, to get over Calvin. Again, was I trying to get over Calvin….? Well, maybe because we can’t really be together as the Triad or whoever they were had said….
“Baby are you okay, you need to get rid of that doubtful look, we are almost entering the chapel.” Pacuto said as we got to the front of the chapel.
“Maybe she is having a second thought and that is actually a good thing, you can still opt out!” Mandy said to me.
I looked at them both as they started arguing again and I walked past them to enter the chapel, it was my life…and I was okay with it.

Pacuto and Mandy walked down the aisle, spreading flower petals behind them. Sonia walked behind them, her face hidden behind the veil and she moved to the rhythm of the music. The chapel was filled, she had no idea where all the people had come from and she doubted if she actually knew a good number of them, however, she sighted some of her students, the news of her arrival had spread like wildfire and many people were here to welcome her back and to show her support, her hands were sweaty.
Ben was standing at the front, all suited up in a purple-black tuxedo. He looked so cute. It reminded Sonia of why she had had a crush on him for many years, he was really cute and he had been her closest friends, since childhood before she met her other two friends when he had left for Georgia to study.
He was looking at her with so much pride and she had to do the same….she smiled….she had to..she had to be proud of him…
She handed Mandy her flowers as they got to the front while she walked to wards her fiancé when the music stopped.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today (or this evening) to witness this man and woman join together in holy matrimony….”
Meanwhile, the two bride maids were whispering non-stop in the corner they stood in their beautiful gown and beautiful hair do.
“This is a bad idea Pacuto, I swear if you don’t do something I will go to the front and pee infront of everyone, maybe that would put this on hold.” S
“Don’t you even dare, we need today to go smoothly for our friend.”
“For our friend, what the hell are you talking about? We need to stop this for her.”
“And then what? Where do you think Calvin will be, she doesn’t even know how to find the mansion again. Do you want her to be alone and heart broken?”
“This is so wrong, we need to stop this. I hate that guy, Ben.” Mandy said again.
“Shhh!!” One of the clergy men standing close to them shushed them up.
“Shh! You too!” Mandy retorted.
“I, Benjamin Jackson take you Sonia Johnson to be my wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.” Ben said as Sonia took her vows as well…
Shortly, the ring bearer came forward.
“Anyone who objects this wedding should speak now or forever hold their piece.”
At this juncture, everywhere was as silent s a grave yard…
“I swear I will raise my hand…”Mandy said.
“Do not …”Pacuto replied and then there was a loud “AH” from everyone.
“Oh dear. I see Ben has actually beaten me to it.”
Mandy to who with everyone was surprised at the groom whose hand was raised up.
“I take it back, I love Ben.” Mandy whispered to Pacuto.

I don't understand, Mandy? What?
Ben is such an asshole. He could have called off the wedding but he chose to disgrace Sonia. Something tells me he's been cheating with all his overseas trip.
