I was excited,
Because, It was my wedding day,
Just like any normal day, the weather was friendly,
And the atmosphere was distinctive,
It was giving that vibes,
I hope you know what I mean,
Don’t ask me what!
I was curious to know how it feels by being married,
I’m anxious as well because my husband has been acting strange lately,
Nevertheless,
I decide to ignore it all and focus on my day,
Besides, It’s been hectic preparing for our wedding.
I was secretly anticipating my wedding night too,
I have heard so much from my friend Nkoli,
And I can’t wait to witness it all,
Even as the wedding bell kept jingling,
My mind was wandering from here to there,
Until I noticed my husband’s presence,
I smiled.

Few hours later, we exchanged vows,
It was the best experience of my life,
Standing very close to my husband,
So that I could feel his breath,
The love that emit from his dreamy eyes was pure,
Just like the fear that emit from them was glaring too,
I wonder what the problem was,
Though I could feel an impending danger,
I couldn’t place it.
After the reception,
It was already late in the night.
I was feeling very tired,
Our driver was already waiting to drive us home.
When we arrived,
My husband house boy Theodore,
Began unpacking our things while my husband and I walked into the house hand in hand.
My husband was unusually cold and barely speak to me,
He was quietly stealing glances at me as I get ready to freshen up,
I was suddenly feeling very uncomfortable and quietly move to the bathroom to take my bath,
When I was midway, I started hearing strange voices in the room.
I felt goose pimples all over my body and quickly hurried my bath.
I rushed back to the room to see my husband playing with a strange woman,
I screamed,
First, I wonder how and when the woman entered into our matrimonial room,
I ran out of the room with great fear while the laughter of the strange woman reverberates the house.
When I rushed outside,
To my greatest surprise,
Theodore, the house boy, was nowhere to be found,
I struggled to open the gate and ran out of the compound,
Tears drop down my cheeks as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.
At a point, I noticed that I was half-naked,
I wonder what people will say if they see me in such condition,
Yesterday a bride,
Today a mad woman,
As I thought of what next to do,
A car zoomed past me but reversed back immediately.
I guess the driver recognized me.
My husband alighted and I froze.
“Olachi! Where have you been?
I have been searching for you everywhere!”, he shouted.
I did not speak a word but turned and ran into a bush.
I can clearly hear some steps behind.
So, I ran further into the bush like a blind bat.
