When I saw Ben’s hand raised up and everyone shouted, I was surprised and confused…later we went to a private room as the Priest gave us a break to talk.

This wasn’t happening…

“Ben….i don’t understand, what are you doing?” I stuttered.

Instead, he took my hand, his hand on my cheek, warmly.

“Baby, I know you very well, maybe not as your friends do but remember we grew up together and we were good friends.

Read " Returned " by the same author ( Tobi Loba )

. I know you could what will be your happiness to do the right thing . You always want to do right thing to make the other happy, you don’t care how you will feel afterwards…”

I was confused as people looked at us…

“You did all that while we grew up together but you need to stop doing that.”

“Ben what is this?”

“Forever is too long to be unhappy. You see, we were friends, it was normal for us to like each other, but the truth is, when I heard all the things you said with your friends as regards the  Calvin guy, I knew what we had wasn’t love, it was affection and not genuine love. I saw the way you spoke about him, I saw the look in your eyes then and now, you know you are making a grave mistake and….”

“Ben, stop, this isn’t true…”

“It is true!” Mandy and Pacuto shouted from behind us…

“I think you both need to excuse us…” Ben said to them…

“Oh no Ben, we are so behind you in this, please carry on, we will be out, I promise

. Dude, you did well.” Mandy said as she led Pacuto out but I knew they were eavesdropping, I could see their shadows.

“So what are you saying Ben, are you dumping me on our wedding day?”

Ben smiled and kissed my cheek. “I am doing you a favour darling, affection alone cannot get us through forever. You see, while we grew up, we spent time together a lot, this developed into affection which we mistook for love, when I left for Georgia and came back, the crush and affection made me ask you out , I thought we were meant to be but with what you said about Calvin, I knew not all friendships should end up in a relationship, like ours. Besides, do you remember you once told me the dreams you had about him?”

I didn’t know why the tears were coming but they were as I remembered I had first told him about my dreams.

“Yes I remember.”

He smiled and used his thumb to wipe the tears…”And what did I tell you?”

“You…you said maybe he was my true love…”

“Well, I guess I was right.” He said with a smile. “I care about your happiness a lot darling but I don’t think I can give you the joy you deserve. Let’s face it, I am a mobile doctor, I am mostly required across borders, I can’t stay in one place and you need someone stable, within a little time you had such a great love with this guy, imagine what you both could share for a lifetime…it will be selfish of me to promise you a future that I am not sure of, for the sake of your happiness, I am opting out of this relationship. I will give you time to think about it…”

“But why today of all days Ben? Why didn’t you stop the wedding sooner, why make me go through all these stress and thoughts and confusion….”

“Because there is going to be a wedding today….i am just the wrong groom.”

“What?”

“Hello Sonia.”

My heart melted as I heard that voice, I ceased my breath as I turned around, Calvin was standing at the entrance in his blue-black suit and looking directly at me with those devilish blue eyes of his.
