Daddy please eat, Sister Ngozie,  you're not eating too, what's all this now? Charles said.

OK I'll eat, let's eat, Charles give us a prayer "Mr Uche said".

Charles said a prayer and they all started eating.

Mr Uche was thinking of revoking what he has said to Ngozie but he was still having it down in his mind to let her go because he doesn't have a stable financial aid.

Ngozie finished her food and went inside, grabbed her phone and opened phone SMS and write thus:.

Hi love, I'm unaware of this and I'm in a greater confusion, my daddy just broke a news to me and right here I'm confused because I know you more.
My daddy  said I should go and marry, he asked me to provide my fiancee and he wants me to get married soon, I'm confused and tired, please I love you, don't leave me. ILY.

She finished the text and was shivering before she pressed the send button.

Without hesitating, she switched off her phone and sat back on the bed.

Happy and Chiso was reading, Charles was fixing her father's radio which fell down while he was playing with it.

Ngozie couldn't hold it to herself, her father too was depressed, he doesn't want what is happening but he had no choice than to do so.

After some moments, Ngozie fell asleep.

"Ngozie in a full Igbo attire, blue blouse, red headgear and a good shining gold shoe, John was inside looking for his car key"
Ngozie: Honey I'm ready now.
John: I'm coming dear, I'm looking for my car key, did you see it?
Ngozie: No o, check beside the bed or have you checked inside the car?
John: Oh yes, I just remembered, I didn't remove it from the car.

They both left for the party, dressed like a couple in their exotic car. They got to the party, all eyes on them, their chairs were different, the singer was shouting their names, all eyes on them.
The party was over, they've spent money and enjoyed their stay.

It was a dream, Ngozie was dreaming.

She woke up, switched on her phone and messages popped up.

Four messages? All from John?

Hmmmmm she sighed.

*************
Do you want a better future for Ngozie?
Pray for her, she needs it.
