In My Feelings

The next day, I woke up and went straight to the washroom, before I went back to bed and for the first time in four days, I slept peacefully

Not until Shalom intruded of course, I groaned and sat up "what is it??" I asked as I rubbed my eyes

"U know what time it is? And do you have any idea that the make-up artist and the hair dresser will be here in an hour, and I still have work to do, before daddy kills me she whined

"I've already woken up Shalom! Just go away already, don't kill me with your complaints" I said, rubbing the sleep off my eyes

"Yeah whatever" she said and made her way out "your breakfast will be here soon" she added and disappeared immediately

I sighed and went into the washroom again and took a relaxing shower that lasted for almost 40 minutes, I came out and dressed in random clothes then I sat down and drank some coffee and a little bit of the fries Shalom brought before the make-up artist and hair dresser arrived and started working on me Immediately and as usual, I asked the make-up artist to keep it light, within an hour and half, they were done, I dressed up in a skirt and blouse which the tailor had done a fabulous work on, a matching shoe and clutch, the girls then led me downstairs not after fussing about my looks and another session of teasing, we got into a room where I noticed some elderly women sitting but I only recognized one person and that was my grandma, she had been a great support to me and had stood against all odds to protect me from the people who were against me, she is indeed a great person

They made me sit on a soft rug and they left, only then did I realize what this was all about, I should have seen this coming, my grandma cleared her throat and began and soon my ear drums were filled with the dos and don'ts, I could only hear do this and don't do that and so on and so fault, I felt so uneasy which soon turned to annoyance thankfully the preaching period was over before I exploded and I sighed as I stepped out of the room, dad also gave me his own piece of advice in his parlor, before it was finally time for me to go to my new home, we were soon outside and the hugging session began, first it was dad, he hugged me and blessed me and preached a little, then grandma, she also hugged and blessed me and warned me not to forget her preaching's, next was my one and only sister Shalom, she came over and hugged me tightly and cried, telling me how much she'll miss me and stuffs like that, I wiped her tears and calmed her down and we gisted a bit before I finally entered the car with Shalom and Emma and we drove off, it was a convoy so there were cars in front and behind us

As we drove, they chatted casually while I just stared into space, gazing at nothing in particular, after what seemed like forever, we got to the house correction "semi- mansion"

I entered the house with a troop trailing behind, it was big, spacious, well-furnished and beautiful, they took me to my room, it was also big with floral wallpaper and a queen sized bed, there were two lemon green sofas which matched with the bed spread and a coffee table sat between them, there was a glass door by the side that led to the balcony and another door.

They made me sit on the bed as they gisted and laughed while I sat there awkward and silent until some girl came and informed that the groom was here, they all stood up and started bidding me farewell with hugs, Shalom made sure to give me a small speech about how she'll miss me and all before they finally left, I sighed and got my phone to check time and it was already past 8pm, I stood up from the bed and went straight to the closet, thankfully my things were already there, I just need to arrange them, I got my pajamas and went straight to the loo, I got out of the uncomfortable clothes I was wearing, washed the makeup off my face and had a quick bath and slipped into my pajamas then I came out and went straight to bed

I woke up quite late the next day, I went straight to the loo and did my business then I was interrupted by a knock

I went ahead and opened the door just to meet a young lady "good morning ma'am, sir wants to see you" she said innocently

Oh yes, I almost forgot that I am now married

"Um... okay, I'm coming" I said and attempted to close the door

"Ma'am it's urgent, he wants you there right now" she said in a persistent tone

"Sure, I'll be right there" I said and closed the door, and made my way out but just as I opened the door, I almost collided into him, his fist was in the air as if he was about to knock and his face was hardened as usual, he looked at me from head to toe thankfully I was putting on a very long hijab, when our gaze finally met again, he spoke

"What took you so long when I sent for you??" he asked in an intimidating tone

"I was just on my way" I said simply "Don't be on your way, when I send for you, you come immediately, do you get me?" he said in an authoritative tone and I nodded slightly

"WORDS!!"He snapped

"Yes "I said and he continued

"And also, I will not tolerate lateness, you will wake up early and meet up to my timing is that clear" he said again in a commanding and unfriendly tone

"Yes" I said again looking everywhere but him

"Now I want my breakfast in 30minutes, the way and manner I don't care" he said after glancing at his wrist watch and walked away

I sighed 'this is something to expect' I thought as I closed my door

I just finished setting the table, I prepared the logical thing I could think of in 30minutes 'toast and green tea, I also made fries and sauce just in case'

When I looked up, I saw him all dressed up, he adjusted his wrist watch as he walked over, he was soon seated on the chair in the dining and I served him and turned and started walking back to the kitchen when I heard the sound of glass colliding with the floor and shattering to pieces, I turned around just to meet him standing, frowning at the broken glass, and when his eyes met mine.....

"What nonsense is this?!" he said angrily and I looked puzzled,

Is it my fault that he broke the glass???

"What is this??!"He snapped

Wait, I think it's the breakfast he doesn't like

"You asked me to make breakfast in 30minutes and this is the most logical thing I could think of" I defended and he scoffed angrily

"Logical thing!! So green tea is the most logical thing you could think of! Don't you have any sense....?" I fixed my gaze on the broken glasses and watched silently as he scolded and insulted me and that was a huge tolerance I had to create just because grandma had warned me especially to be patient and tolerant, but if he continues like this, I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from giving him his own piece of cake, he later left without even glancing at the table again and I went straight to my room

I took a shower and dressed in a purple dress, I sighed as my hair fell freely on my back, if only Shalom was here, she would've helped me braid it, I just tied it in a messy bun and got a purple scoff on my head

Just then Slalom's call came, it was Face Time, and I picked and sat down on my bed

"Hlo" she chirped

"YOOO" I replied and rolled my eyes at her
