“Congratulations, congratulations …”
“Thanks, I appreciate your coming, thanks a lot” Finally after two months of staying indoors with Techna and watching all her doing all her inventions, she got married to the man of her dreams, James. And is he? She flung her hair which decided to put down for her dinner party but unfortunately for her it cut someone’s earrings.
“oh, I’m so sorry” She apologized
“Let me help you with that, don’t worry.” The man raised his hand to sort it out but his wristwatch got stuck to.
“Did my hair……oh sorry” She tried to turn her head but she heard the man let out a painful sound.
“Ouch, I think it would be good if you avoid shaking as that would lessen the knots that will be created, cause you’ve formed one more on my curve links”
“I’m sorry about that. Let’s try loosing it before we start to catch attention”
“oh, sorry for not recognizing you, you are the bride, I must say, you look beautiful in both outfits I’ve seen you wear today” Ray said
“Well thank you. We really need someone to help us untie this mess we created” At that moment James was passing by and he saw them. He was walking towards them with his facial expression showing anger. The more he walked towards them the more angrier he got. When he stop at their front he spat out angrily
“Seriously Flora, just after concluding our wedding and its just our dinner all the first thing you get to do is to start flirting with another man?”
“No, no, no James, you’re misunderstanding the situation. It was all an accident. Could you please just detach us?”
“I …”
“What’s going on here ?” Techna came towards their side and asked
“Gracious, Techna could you please untie us. Its starting to get uncomfortable and I’m asking my hubby her but he is not listening” Flora said
“Oh, I see what’s happening here, you’re face to face with jealousy and its strange, you don’t even know how you look, its adorable. Well its nice to see that your love never change, open your eyes and just relax. It was a mistake, so just take heart. Breath in and breadth out, it helps. Now, let’s see, you got stuck flinging your hair, why am I not surprised?” She smiled as she moved towards the two and untie them.
“Now you’re free”
“Urhgg, thank you and I’m so sorry mister” Flora said facing the man
“No I’m alright its nothing, just be careful next time ma’am” he said
“Thank you …”
“I think that’s enough. Flora let’s go” James said as he took her hand and dragged her with him, but before he could move much “I think you should take it easy man. It was just a mistake. Nice meeting the groom and the bride” He said this and he left them
“Well, that ended well” Techna said and also left
“What was that for? Flora who was starting to get annoyed removed her hand from his grip
“Nothing. Just saving you from hungry monsters” James moved his shoulder as he said like he didn’t care what just happened
“See baby relax, as Techna said I was just jealous alright. Don’t be angry at this baby boy for that, alright?” James took both her fingers this time as he moved her towards him
“Alright, just know I love you and that will be all. No need to be jealous. We have each other.”
“I love you too baby” He pecked her smiled at her.

Few months laters
She had really got to get this behind her. No matter how huge or how sad it is. She had never in her lifetime imagine James would do something like that to her. She should have noticed it from the day they got married during the dinner night. Ugh, there she goes again, she had to stop thinking about it. It’s been three months already and nothing. Just to go to work only to meet an annoying boss who would do nothing but pester her all through the day, then to return home to a silent house. Life wasn’t smiling at her at all.
She stood up from her bed and took the advantage of the early morning to wet her flowers, that alone could take away her sad life story which she remembered this early morning. She went to her store and brought out her watering can, she filled it up and walked towards her flowers to wet. She hummed a song she heard some times ago and decided to listen to music. That could also help lift her dead soul, she thought. She dropped her can and went inside to fetch her headphone.
On her way back to continue her activity she cut a glimpse of someone watching her from her garage. She moved towards it and checked the entrance for anyone but she didn’t see anyone so she thought she was hallucinating. After she was done with wetting her plants she dropped the can and dropped her headphone on her neck. She decided to move around her compound but she heard someone move. She move towards her garage as her compound was not very big. The garden was just beside the garage. She opened the door to the garage and was about entering when when someone pushed her back outside. She almost fell but staggered . she was surprised to see
“Techna, what the hell?”
“Did I scare you, oh I’m so sorry. You almost fell?” she said moving towards Flora to help her “I am sorry I was picking on you”
“You made me scared to death” Flora said as she rest her hand on the door handle.
“Sorry, let’s go inside, wait what were you doing outside in the first place. Isn’t it to early to be outside?”
“Didn’t you see me. I thought you were picking on me?” she asked confused
“Um,… yes … of course I did. Let’s go inside, its cold outside. So what are your plans for today?”
She really did not have any plan for the day as it was weekend. Just to stay at home and watch series and eat maybe read then sleep. “Nothing really, just wet my flowers and lazy around the house. You look beautiful packing your hair up you know. You should do it more often”
“You know I don’t do such, so how about going to the mall ….” Flora cut her
“When did you start going to the malls, Techna?”
“Oh, common, you know I don’t go to malls for personal reasons. This is strictly business, workmanship reasons." She said
“So tell me what do you have in mind to do, scientist?” She said pulling Techna inside the house
“Well, it’s a surprise, don’t wanna drop”
“Alright then, let me get dressed and we’ll get going” She rushed towards the stairs but suddenly stopped and said “Did anyone ever tell you, you had fault in anything?”
Techna wasn’t expecting that question but she answered anyways “Well yes, everyone except you”
“Well, I want to tell you, you are the best friend I’ve ever got. You tend to all my worries without even realizing it. Thank you” She ran through the stairs
Techna didn’t know or understand what just happened so she just over looked it and got herself a bottle of water to drink while waiting for her.
For my passport, I'm not with it at the moment but as soon as I get it, I will send it to you.
Apologies about this.
