It was indeed a very blissful moment for them all...especially Angela cos her parents never rejected her suitor. They rather promised to help Bryan achieve his dreams and prospects in life so as to make their daughter live comfortably with him. Bryan stayed for a while at Angela's, and excused her outside to tell her to prepare for a visit to see his parents in two days time. Angela agreed, and they both went back to their various homes with joy in their hearts. Awaiting n preparing for the next level. Bryan went home to inform his parents, and they were not too comfortable with the idea cos they wouldn't want their son to live a life of regret, for he is too young for marriage, for he may not know what marriage entails. They both thought about this singular idea of their son's wanting to get married at a very young age, and they concluded that they will not give their concent. Bryan later went back to his parents after some moment he left. They were still in the garden, relaxing. "Mom..., Dad..." Said Bryan. His parents both replied uniformly to Bryan..."Yes son..." Bryan then said,"Please let's all be prepared for Angela's visit in two days time". Instantly, both parents looked at themselves and gave a kind of look which indicated that "this guy is damn serious". Thereafter, they looked at Bryan, and the mom said to him,"My son, we understand how you truly feel about this girlfriend of yours, though we do not know her yet.""But please, get us right dear son, we mean well for you, and right now...we feel you are about to make a very terrible mistake of your life, just by deciding to get married at 23years of age.""We respect your decision, but please.... kindly trust our judgement on this one". At this point, she became a stammering and confused woman, because, Bryan is the only child they have got."You...you...you...kn...ow...we will ne...ver deceive you, nor put you in a tight corner, that would not be favourable to yuo...r....igh..t...? Bryan got confused and was amazed by what his mom was saying. He stood there before them like an image, looking at his parents and wondering why both of them would want to decide on something like that without putting him into consideration as their only child. His father just could not say a word, because he saw from Bryan countenance that hearing all that from his own mother, all is not well with him at the moment. About two minutes of total silence from the three of them present there, the only thing his dad could say was..."My son, we can only make suggestions for you, but the truth still remains that, we just can not take decisions for you, cos we believe you know what you want as a young man" After a moment, Bryan then ask his dad,"You said you can not take decisions for me, but you can only make suggestions to me, because I am mature enough to know the difference between "pleasant and terrible". Why then do you think I am not man enough to know when I need a wife, and whom to choose as a wife and marry"? He then turned to his mom who was bold enough to tell him what she said, asking her..."Mom...do you want me to be happy at all...?" Only that question coming from Bryan to his mother, made her so restless and uncomfortable! Before she knew what was going on, she bursted into tears...and cried like a baby. Bryan angrily walked out on his parents and went inside the house. He went straight to his room, and banged the door. Few minutes later, his parents walked in and knocked on his door. They pulled down the door knob, just to open it and go into, but could not. Bryan already locked the door inside. They looked at each other and burst into tears... Then they said...."Bryan son...pls come to your parents, we do not mean to get you angry, nor make you sad"."Please forgive us darling...plea.....seeee..." Bryan just could not stand the tears of his parents cos he knew they must be heart broken, for them to be in such a terrible state of devastation. He then said to himself," I just can not see my mom and dad in such a condition, nor hear them cry and still be hard towards them...""No...no....no....nooooo...I just can't... " Just within a few seconds, lost in his thoughts, he jumped up from his bed and rushed to the door, opened it hurriedly, and hugged his parents. The three of them cried so much, just almost like that of thesame day he returned from school. He quickly apologized to his parents for making them cry, and promised never to do such again. They all cried some more, and when they got tired of crying, they all went to the sitting room and sat there for a long talk. During their conversation, Bryan needed to know the reason for his mother to have said all she told him earlier on in the garden. So he asked..."Mom, please...what was or were your reason(s) for saying those things to me in the garden, some moments ago"? His father was just being observant, watching all that was going on between his wife and son, cos he was confused on what to say. Then his mom replied, saying..."Bryan dear...you know mom and dad loves you right..."? Bryan replied..." Yes I know mom...but please I would love to know your reasons". The mom continued..."The only reason I said all that was because I am scared of loosing you to another woman"."And also, because...you won't always be there for me again, but your wife". That's all...Bryan then replied her, saying..."But mom, didn't dad leave his mom and dad to cleave to you as his wife"? The mom just couldn't say anything! Then Bryan continued..."Oh yes you did! So why then are you stopping me from cleaving to my own wife and build my own family, just as you and dad did"?
Bryan's mom still could not say anything...the only thing she could communicate with was the tear drops from her eyes...all because of the fear that her only child is about to leave her for another woman, his wife. Bryan angrily left his parents again in the garden, and went straight inside. But this time, he picked up a few of his clothes, came out of the house, and went away to an unknown destination. His parents left the garden,went inside to talk to their son again, but met his absence in his room. They searched all around the house, but could not find him. Crying continued for them again, till it was night fall. The couple thought their son just needed some time off to clear his head of all he had experienced the past few days, so they felt it was best to give him his space, thinking he would come back home on his own. Not knowing his plan was different. Few hours later, Bryan ar
On hearing this from his dad, Bryan jumped up from his seat and went to where his parents were seated. He jumped on them like it was long he saw them. His dad just said immediately..."Don't be too happy yet son, because we have not finished yet"! He continued..."Your mom and I have decided also that...we will only give our support and concent IF...! I mean...IF, you and Angela would agree to live with us after your wedding". Bryan got scared! He gave his friend Shane a kind of look, like that of a confused man. He didn't even know what to say anymore... neither did he have any option in mind at that particular time. Though he knew he's the only child of his parents, and they don't want to loose him, for there would be no one to stay with them after he must have left their house for his own, to live with his wife. And also, he neva wanted to live with his parents, no
Bryan thought about her suggestions for a moment, and then said..."I think you have a point there babe"!"Alright then, let's go with your idea"."I will talk to my parents about our decision, and hear what they have to say afterwards. But I won't tell them about our plans of leaving them after a year or two, because they won't be happy with that idea". Now, after their discussion, the atmosphere became a whole lot free and safe for them to talk about other important things in their lives, and things regarding their wedding plans. After a while, Bryan bidded everyone goodbye for the day, and went back home to relate his decision with his fiance to his parents. When he got home, it was already evening. Bryan met his mom and dad outside, at the lobby of their house. He said with a smile..."Mom, Dad... good evening"."Ho
Immediately they heard their names, they stood up with kin interest! Nanny Shirley drew closer, and shouted..."Dad, Sir Bryan... Angela is here! Instantly without delay, Bryan was about taking to his hill, when his dad held him back and asked Shirley again to be sure, so as not to hurt his son's feelings again. With excitement, Shirley answered...."Yes dad.... she's here ...right in the living room"!"Dad... she's gor...geous"!"Honestly! Trust me! I am telling you the truth, dad"!"Please hurry up, and come see for yourself, dad"! Mr Joey Lawson said in response to Shirley's statement,"Alright then, let's all go...hurry...." Both Bryan, his dad, and nanny Shirley ran to the sitting room to
Shane left the presence of the couple to get the driver, Mr Lewis. Saying to him when he got to where he was seated, waiting for the couple to call for his attention to take them home..."Hey Mr Lewis, please the groom wants your presence urgently". Mr Lewis replied..."Okay... I go straight after you, Sir"! Both Shane and Lewis went back to the couple's stand to meet the couple. As they got there, Bryan told the driver what he told his best man. At this point, the groom asked his best man to also go inform the announcer of the occasion that he should do the needful because they are about leaving the event centre. Shane did accordingly and returned. Meanwhile, Mr Lewis had hurried down to get his car keys, and returned to the couple. The announcer on his own part, drew the attention of the guests there present. Saying...
"Welcome Honey, welcome son"! Her husband answered,"This one you're this excited, what's up with you"? She smiled and drew closer to him and whispered into his ear, so Bryan would not hear anything. She said..."We are going to be grandparents very soon...!"Wow!!!"... shouted Mr Joey. Bryan became eager to know what was going on."What's the matter dad"? Asked Bryan. Mr Joey kept quiet, and allowed his wife to do the talking. Bryan asked again,"Mom, what's the happiness all about? Please tell me..."."Where is my wife"?"Honeypie...Honeypie....." He called out to Angela, but she didn't answer because she was fast asleep. And out of fear, he rushed into their room to look for his wife, and to be sure she was safe. Reaching there, he opened the door and met his wife lyin
Mrs Jane thanked the doctor, and left his office with the results of the tests. She stayed at the hospital while she asked the domestic workers who went to the hospital with her to return home. In the evening of that same day, Bryan returned home and before he got into the house, he met Chef Nancy outside, and she narrated to him the odeal of his wife that happened in the morning after he left for work. Bryan immediately asked her to take his briefcase to his bedroom, and he left the house for the hospital. Reaching there, Angela was already awake. Seeing him, she shouted with great anger in her voice..."Please I do not want to see him... please.... tell him to go..." Hearing this from Angela to her husband whom both of them had been very best of friends, she realized that something was wrong in their mar
In tears Angela ran out from their bedroom to meet her mother-in-law. Fortunately for her, she met her on her way out. She was rushing down to their bedroom to see what the matter was. Mrs Jane held Angela tight and asked in curiosity..."What's the matter dear"? Angela could not say much because she was so much scared of what her husband was ready to do to her at that particular time he was very mad at her. All she was able to say was..."Mom...it's Bryan..."! Mrs Jane was shocked at her son again that morning, because she knew they reconciled two nights ago, and since then, thay have been good together."So what happened again"? She asked ! Luckily for Angela, her father-in-law had not left the house for work because it was still very early. Angela started panting due t
