THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT

Chapter Three

    Sarah called me the following morning to inform me that, there's public holiday which I had completely forgotten about because I was already having my breakfast, ready to leave for work, any minute. We talked for a while and agreed to have a girlfriend's day which we usually do once in two months depending on our schedule.

She came over around 10am, and we gist till she asked me if have called my sis back and I replied no, since I was stressed out when I got back from church yesterday and I couldn't call her, since I knew calling her means sleeping late. I don't joke with my beautiful sleep, but not when it comes to the things of God. I called her and we talked for an hour but not before promising to join us later to catch some fun.

"Arrrrrrrrrgh... Why did you ask that girl to join us now?" she asked

"Sarah, don't be like that. She's my sister for crying out loud and don't start saying, she's looking for my downfall or something because I know she loves me as much as you do" I replied

"May God open your eyes to see beyond her facade. AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! FIRE!!!" she knelt down as she prayed

"Abeg, what should we do today? You don't expect me to stay indoor all day doing nothing" I said to her

"It's been a while since we study a scripture together. Maybe we should do that first and see what comes next" she suggested

"Oh I love you girl!!! Let me go and get my Bible and writing materials. Hope you've gotten a pen today?" I asked her

"No, I haven't and you know me than to ask that "she laughed

  I shake my head and went into my bedroom to get what we needed. We studied Psalm 19 for an hour and half before Bisade used her extra key and came in, shouting and dancing as if she won a lottery.

"Hey girl, what's up "she asked with a smile

"Nope, what's up with all the smile and dance?" I asked her as I put my hands on my waist

"You're asking me that? See this babe o, the CEO of Ray Group of Companies is attending the business party and you're here asking why am dancing.
Oh, tallness-check, brains-check, handsomeness-double check and not to talk of money-triple check." she said with a smile

"You know money is not all right? And besides, how sure are you that he'll like you when he sees you?" I asked her

"Don't worry about that sis, just wait and see how he goes on one knee and propose to me tomorrow ... Wait o, what are you wearing to the party??? Did you go shopping without inviting me??? I'm seriously mad at you for shopping alone when you know, I love parties" a frown quickly replaced the dreamy look on her face

"Abeg, calm down. We haven't shopped yet and don't tell me you didn't see Sarah since you came in" I said to her in a firm voice

"Oh! I didn't see her. She faced Sarah and said hi" she greeted her with a frown on her face

"Guess I was an ant then and hi to you too" Sarah said with a fake smile which I can recognize from a mile

  Only God knows when the two of them will get along. They are both hard headed and none of them want to give up for the other, since they both knew it doesn't work that way.

Sarah tapped me on the shoulder and said "Don't even start match making both of us because I know that is what you're thinking. It's not going to work, something just doesn't feel right about her. So, stop wasting your energy "

"Who want to be your friend sef, money you don't have, beauty you no get and you're too proud for my liking" Bisade looked her up and down and hissed

  I can already see the invisible smoke coming out of Sarah's nose and ears. Oh Lord, you've got to do something about this two,they can't continue like this. How do I explain to people that my sister and best friend hate each other's gut. You might be wondering what really happened...

  They actually like each other from the start and I do get jealous and feel like a stranger when we go out because they're both outgoing and am not. That was where Kunle came in, an handsome guy we met at a business party who fell in love at first sight with Sarah. Please, do you really think love at first sight exists? Well, let me continue my story. So,it doesn't sit well with Bisade when Kunle asked Sarah out on a date two weeks after the party. My friend was blushing throughout the day which I quite find funny and tease her about it,well love can do that to someone.

  The naughty sister of mine called her with a strange number for over five times during the date, knowing well Sarah doesn't pick strange number and sent her a love test when she went to use the restroom. Kunle on the other hand picked Sarah's phone and checked her message since she doesn't use password, which I quite find rude. You don't check a lady's message, especially in her absence.

   Later, when he dropped her off at her apartment, he told her it wouldn't work since she has someone she's already seeing and since Kunle wasn't ready to listen to the truth, that was the end of the relationship that hasn't even started. I was quite happy since she's not yet emotionally attached to him so it was a bit easier for her to move on.

  A week after the incident when we were having our girlfriend's day, Sarah had to use Bisade's phone to call hers which she misplaced. So, that was how we found out the truth. I was so disappointed because I know Sarah wouldn't have gone on a date with Kunle if she knew Bisade likes him. She's that selfless and I love her for that. So since then, they've become cat and dog, always finding fault in each other. Sarah claimed to have forgiven her but I know she still abode bitterness towards Bisade, which is far worse than a poison.

"Guys before you tear each other down, I think we should go shopping for the party this weekend" I said to them

"Now you're talking, my dear sis " Bisade replied with a wink

  We took my car and went to a shopping mall. I didn't know what to get so, Sarah decided to help me find the perfect dress, as if there is one since I know Bisade is out of question. If you see the dresses she was trying on, you would think she's going to a club house and I know my corrections will be of no help since she hates correction especially outside. I know correction is actually a gift anyone could ever get when you're going the wrong way. I don't know why anyone would hate such a beautiful thing. So, back to my dress, I tried two different one but I know they're just not for me, I went to the rack and one perfect dress, if you would permit me to say, caught my attention and come see when I tried it on, it was indeed perfect.

  After our shopping spree, we went to get something to eat. I had to drop them at their different apartment since it was late already, and Bisade asked her driver to get her car on the other hand.
