The Chronicles of Bewa

C1: Pilot

I believe in a lot of things. 

I believe in love, even in the most cringle one….. Love at first sight

I believe there is a chance that one of my father’s mistress has a bastard son for him in secret.

I believe there are people who practise witchcraft

I believe that there is a secret organisation/cult whose members includes the most powerful people in the world and this cult sanctions the terrible things that happen to people for their own gain and sometimes for their personal amusement (I am sure you know the cult but you are not hearing it from me). 

Signs and premonition are my thing, I mean when I hit my feet three time during the day, I believe there is a chance that something bad is about to happen.

I believe in the saying that first impression matters because I use that in judging people I meet for the first time, which is a bad thing. Most people are not what they look like.

I have absolute belief in God Almighty and that when you pray to him, he will answer your request and also protect you. 

I also believe there is Lucifer somewhere trying to destroy God’s work. 

So, I believe in a lot of things but not this….

I am getting married to the man I have had the biggest crush on ever since I had known how to love…. Kylian Mbappe.

Born to a Cameroonian father and an Algerian mother in Bondy, Paris, France on the 20th of December, 1998. Started out playing football from an early age with his father as his coach. Started his professional career as a footballer in Monaco before he moved to Paris-Saint-Germain (PSG) on a loan and later bought by PSG. He broke out as a sensational player when he broke the legend’s record, Pele and went on to become the world youngest player who ever scored in world cup final. He lifted the cup for his country at his first attempt of playing for his country and since then, he kept breaking records. 

He is a cheetah on the football field, he runs so fast that other teams have to find ways to stop him on the football field and yet, he kept breaking records. Became the most paid player footballer at the young age of 23 before Cristiano Ronaldo took the title from him on his move to Alnassar Fc and here he is, about to slip the diamond ring on my fourth finger. I can’t believe my eyes

“Bewaji” My mom’s loud cold voice broke me out of my head. I looked around and I saw my father’s hard look and my in-laws confused expression. Before looking at my soon-to-be husband’s perplexed face.

God! How long have I been drooling over him in my head

“I am sorry” In an apologetic voice “But what was the question again?”

“Do you Bewaji Emily Bendel take Kylian Mbappe Lottin to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish. Until death do you part?” replied the Court marriage official with her English blended with thick Akure accent in annoyance

Judging from the marriage official’s mood, I say I have been out of it for a while

“Of course Yes, I do, I definitely do” I answered hastily with so much enthusiasm because I am marrying the love of my life and also I am scared of what the marriage official will do if I waste one more second of her time. I mean like any typical Yoruba mom, she could decide to slap me right there without caring that it is my wedding day. 

I slowly slipped the ring on Kylian’s fourth left finger and I looked at him with brightest smile on my face

“With the power wielded in me, I pronounce you two, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride” The Marriage Official announced at the top of her voice. I felt a big smile broke out of my face as everybody in the court marriage room stood up and clapped. I think I also felt something run out of my eyes down to my face as I looked at my husband who had a small smile on his face. He moved closer and placed his thin shaped pink lips on my mine. Like I always envisioned, his lips were so soft and before I could melt into it, he withdrew.
