MY WEDDING NIGHT - Episode 2

MY WEDDING NIGHT (Episode 2)
I really can’t write how hurt and empty
i was that fateful morning. I can’t
describe how devastated i was nor
how my heart bled. I was totally
broken and dead. I couldn’t even call
my brother to tell him the bad situation
i found myself. In fact my soul and my
spirit ran away from me. I was just a
shadow of myself. The devil just took
time to urinate on my destiny.

Damian’s mother never bothered nor
cared about my feelings, instead pulled
out the knife from her son’s body
when my cries brought her to the
room and almost stabbed me with
fury, screaming some incoherent
words, until other members of the
family came in and held her. “i said it;
nothing good ever comes out of Africa.

She stabbed him, she probably did it in
her sleep, or maybe it’s witchcraft.

God save my soul” the old woman
screamed and cried. I simply sat
beside the bed and cried out my heart.
I was just like a cornered rat. I was
simply in the midst of foreigners. In the
midst of people who saw me as a
second class animal or probably a gold
digger. None of them spoke to me nor
asked how it all happened. I barely had
changed my night wear when an
ambulance arrived with men from the
force headquarters. Before i knew what
was happening, i found myself at the
back of a police SUV while the
perpetrator of the crime walked freely,
probably watching the unfolding events
from a safe distance. Another problem
i had was that i didn’t know who to
suspect nor accuse. They all looked
the same to me. They were all a bunch
of conspirators. I felt like taking my life
as the police took me away, because
there wasn’t any need living again. I
knew the justice system would easily
convict and close the case than
investigating. “Who am i among a
bunch of whites all accusing me of
murder??”. I had nothing to prove my
innocence. I was the only person in the
room with Damian. The murder
weapon which might have saved me
through finger print test was already
compromised by Damian’s mother. My
life was nothing but over. Kiri kiri
prison awaited me with a dark smile.
How do i save myself?, how do i prove
my innocence?.
