Less pain, more joy Roslyn and Mrs. Anne chattered. It was almost evening that the minister inconspicuously walked into the kitchen wearing a bright smile on his face. Roslyn swiftly stood to her feet with her head dropped to the ground. “Good evening, sir,” she greeted him before. “Evening-evening deah; how’s everyone at home?” he asked with sparkle still lingering in his eyes. “They’re all well, sir,” said Roslyn as she meticulously settled back in her chair. “Oh, and your mother, I haven’t seen much of her at the church.” Roslyn slightly smiled at the minister; “my mother is fine; she’d buried herself with so much work that she hardly has time for herself too.” Said Roslyn good-naturedly; “I see,” he said softly as he settled on the empty chair beside his wife. &ldq

She was happy to receive her first wedding gift from her sister, but she isn’t one to wear heels. She pondered why her sister decides to get her heels. “Yes Roslyn, it compliments your dress. Just wear it and stop complaining, we’re getting late”. Said Bella; glancing at her wristwatch for the second time. Roslyn reluctantly slips on the heels. “Where is mother?” Roslyn questioned, looking at Bella through the mirror. “Down stairs, making sure everythin’ is set.

Roslyn slowly walked to the window and peeped through the window, hoping to see David driving in through the gigantic gate, but she was more disappointed to see the spot where David normally parked his car empty.
