Tasi's POV
Damn these bloody nerves just won't leave. I have been nervous since I went with Ofa yesterday to buy the bed her mother told us we needed to buy. Just thinking of me and Ofa being able to share our new bed together, I guess her mother was right ... my old bed did have a lot of my past ghost lurking in and around it. My thoughts make me giggle for a bit but my nerves are creeping up on me as I head take a peep out the door of the cell we have been kept in to wait for the service to start.
I look at how many people already seated, many different faces and everyone looking all so colourful, ladies wearing their Puletasi's (Samoan and Tongan womans formal traditional wear), I c quite a lot of tauvala's but damn those smiles, one lady just walked pass me and smiled at me and almost blinding me with all that bling across her teeth and not to mention almost every adult that I have seen has a bit of gold somewhere in their smiles a sign to me that they are Tongan.
I take a step out into the foyer of the small church to take a look into the church and I am somewhat disappointed when I notice that on my side of the church its only half full considering that Ofa's side of the church are almost filled up to the point where some of her invites were now moving to fill up the seats on my side of the church. I know I shouldn't be worrying about that right now but I honestly hope my family do turn up, especially my biological mothers family, it would mean the world to me to have them here to represent my beautiful mother. May her soul Rest in Peace.
I glance out the front of the church and still no sign of the limo I paid to make sure my wife to be will be here on time.
I head back to the room and take a seat on the couch. I'm feeling anxious.
"sole you got my phone?" I ask my Best friend and Best Man Ben.
"I left it back in the car cos I didn't think we would need phones, and especially because you do not need any distractions today" Ben says staring me down with a bit of anger in his voice.
"I know that Sheila was bombarding your phone lastnight because she called me all hysterical and shit. I thought you said you sorted all that shit out uce?" Ben says to me with disgust in his tone.
I run my hands through my hair and sigh while looking at the floor in frustration.
"I did uso, I did. She reckons I am not being honest with myself and I shouldn't be with Ofa because she isn't Samoan" I say to Ben with a lot of worry and concern.
Ben looks at me with disappointment while shaking his head as he takes a seat in the chair opposite me.
"Ben uce, I honestly don't care about Losa. She cheated on me then I gave her a second chance and she spit it back in my face so she has no one to blame but herself" I say with so much confidence.
"I love Ofa ... I mean ... I am in love with Ofa and she makes me happy" I continue to convince my best friend Ben.
Damn I knew I should've held on to my own damn phone. Need to make sure Ofa doesn't leave me looking like a fool on the altar. I know we have been through so much with ex girlfriend problems and the gossip at work but I don't think she would leave me hanging?
Where the hell are they? Its 9.50am. I hope she is just coming late and not have cold feet?
"They are 5mins away. Everyone into your positions please" my sister Jacinta calls.
