THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT

Chapter Six

  I was wondering what could probably be the problem with dad, because I know he left the party with tears in his eyes which he tried so well to hide from people but not me. I know my dad very well, so I knew the smile he gave me when he said they're going home because mum was tired already, is fake. I love my dad and God knows, it breaks my heart to see him in pain.

"Father, I don't know what it is that he's going through but please give him peace" I said a short prayer as I prepare for the day.

  Since today is Saturday, I decided to do general cleaning, watch movies, eat and most of all finish the book I started some weeks ago titled "Intentional Living" by John C Maxwell. Oh, I so much love this book and I can't wait to be done with the book. I recommended it for Sarah and I was surprised when she told me she loved the book since I know she doesn't like reading books.

  By the time I was done with my cleaning, my food was ready. I had my bath, eat and decided to firstly finish the book before watching movies. By the time I was done with the reading, Sarah's call came in.

Phone conversation...

"Hey babe, good morning and how was your night?" she asked

"Morning love and my night was fine and yours?" I asked

"It was awesome. So, what are you up to for today? I'm so bored here" she said dramatically

I can imagine the drama she's doing right now. Well I love her like that.

"Dara, don't tell me that you're already in la-la land" she said

"Stop pouting your face and to answer your question, I just finished reading Intentional Living. I was thinking of watching a movie" I replied

"Be expecting me in the next thirty to forty five minutes and please don't roll your eyes" she said

"Whatever" I muttered under my breath

"I heard that" she said and hanged up the phone.

  I got up and decided to make popcorn and get our drinks before she got here since I haven't decided on the movie to watch. By the time I got back to the living room she's already waiting for me.

"Oh, I love you and love you and love you and love you and love you and love you and love you." she said as she hugged life out of me

"I love you too but please I can't breathe" I managed to say

"Stop being a drama queen" she said with a smile

"Says the drama queen herself. So, what movie should we watch first?" I asked

"Well, I was thinking maybe we should do a review of the book since I haven't finished reading it." she suggested

"That's nice but you'll pay me o." I joked

"See thief who can't help a sister in need o. Have you forgotten that money is the root of all evil."   she said

"Well sweetheart, money is the jet of the spread of the gospel. " I replied and we laughed.

  For the next one hour we did the review and later watched movies. By the time we decided we were done, it was late and she decided we do sleep over which was completely okay for me since I wouldn't be the only one sleeping in the apartment for tonight. We tickled ourselves, gist and had so much fun.

"Babes, as much as I love you, I need to go shower and sleep. Tomorrow is Sunday and I can't afford to go late to church. And please, if anyone calls, help me to answer it" I said to her before leaving for my room

"Alright" she said as she continued chatting on her phone.

  When I went back to the living room, she informed me that dad wanted to see me tomorrow unfailingly. I wished her goodnight and went back to my bedroom. I was praying when mother nature came with a promise in my mind to go visit my parents the following day.
