CHAPTER 30: HOW ABOUT WEDNESDAY?

EMANUELE'S POVThe ache inside my chest was swift and sharp, throbbing like a rotten tooth. Sighing, I peek out the small oval window to my direct left. The sky reminds me of a kaleidoscope of colours, like bottles of spilt paint on a canvas. I wonder what Kevah is doing right now. Is she crying? Does she miss me? I know I miss her already. I wish I had more time with her. More time with her incredible mouth and her sharp hazel eyes that could stop a meter shower if she stared at it too long. What are you doing, Manny? Breathe, I coax myself. Pulling on the collar of my shirt like that will make me breathe better. I let out a strangled sigh. It's only a few months, I will see her in no time, I tell myself.Passengers are still boarding, and I wait for sleep to consume me. Resting my head on the headrest, trying to get the pain of not seeing my Kevah for months off my mind. “Hello, Emanuele," A sweet female voice jolts me forward. I narrow my eyes at her, trying to figure out where I

CHAPTER 31: WEDDING GOWN

KEVAH'S POVSo here we are, inside my mother's house with Manny. We are here to tell her and Adrian that we are getting married. It is the twins' idea. They claimed that if I got married without Mama's blessing, then I'd never forgive myself. So as I said, here we are sitting in Mama's living room, waiting for Adrian to convince her to come out of her bedroom and face us. I can hear their hushed tones growing louder. Adrian must have won the argument because I see Mama coming downstairs toward us. My body shivers, and Manny squeezes my palm tighter. “Don't be nervous, Principessa, it will all be OK.”I just nod my head and blew out the breath I was holding. Mama is wearing her dockers pants with a caramel flip-flop and a neat white crushed blouse is stuck inside the waist of her pants, accentuating her slim figure. Manny and I stand up as Mama and Adrian enter the living room. Before I can get a word in, Mama starts to shoot out accusations.“You're pregnant, aren't you?” Her eyes r

CHAPTER 32: HEDONISM SPA

KEVAH'S POVI am exhausted by the time I stopped crying. My eyes are swollen, but the pain is still there, loud inside my chest. The sky is getting dark now, and I soon have to make my way back to my mother’s house where Manny is waiting for me. But I don't want to see Mama. I just can't deal with her. I don't think Mama likes me. I think she's ashamed of me, the fact that I am on the heavier side, but aren't parents supposed to love their children unconditionally? Regardless of their colour, height, weight or sexual preferences? Mama is such a hypocrite for someone who goes to church and holler out praise the Lord every Sunday. I scoff and my tummy makes a roaring sound. My body is telling me that it’s hungry, but I just don't feel like eating.I am lying on the grass hugging grandma's tombstone when I hear the faint footsteps of someone coming. I smell his cologne before I see him. Manny smiles at me lightly with concern in his eyes. I feel so bad bringing him into my fucked up worl
