THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT

Chapter Eleven

Continuation of Dara's POV

  On getting home, my phone started ringing but I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, so I just put it on "Do no disturb" carry my things and enter the apartment.

I wasn't surprised when I met the door unlocked. I know it'll be Sara or Bisade since they're the only one who has the spare key into the apartment. I entered the living room, dropped my things on the couch and decided to rest there a little bit before I go to my room. I didn't bother to check who was in the apartment, since I already heard movement in the Kitchen. So, I guessed right when Sarah came out of the kitchen, holding a napkin.

"Hi babe, what did Pastor say?" she asked with concern

"Oh, he gave me some Scriptures to meditate on and prayed for me. But we'll be fasting for three days for God to intervene, since He's the only one that can help" I replied

"Fasting is not a problem. You know I'll always be there for you" she said

"Thanks Sar" I said to her with a wink

"Abeg, when did you give me that awful nickname?" she asked

"Maybe now" I replied and shrugged

"So, I already heard what happened at Raymond Group of Companies. Your dad came and was shouting at me that I should warn you." She said with concern

"I'm sorry for putting you through such embarrassment." I said to her

"Oh, please stop it. You're such an awesome person and it'll be very bad of me to run away from you in a time like this. Dara, God has used you to bless my life in such a way that my extended family can't even do one quarter of it." She said

I just smiled at her, since I was too tired to talk.

"Food is almost ready. So, go and shower, I've already prepared your bath, while I finish up things in the kitchen and set the table" she commanded

  I wanted to carry my things from the couch but she beat me to it. She carried them to my room for me and went back into the kitchen. After I finished taking my bath and was looking for one of my pyjamas to wear, when I started hearing noise from the living room. So, I quickly dressed up so as to check what the commotion is all about.

  On getting to the living room, I met Bisade shouting at Sandra, who wasn't even moved by her shouting.

"Bisade, what happened? You do realize that it's late already, right?" I asked her but instead of replying, she hissed.

"I guess I'm really lost. Do someone care to tell me what is happening here?" I asked

"Oh, please stop with the pretense. You're lost for where?" she shouted

"Can you please calm down and tell me what the problem is exactly?" I asked in a pleading voice

"Anyone that hears you now will think that you're a saint, without knowing that you're far from it. Ah, oga o. Wetin we no go see for this life?" she said as she looks at me with disdain

"What exactly is my offenses? Bisade, we're both adults, so let's talk like one." I said to her

  I looked at Sandra, but she didn't look back at me. It was as if she wasn't moved by the shouting. She just continued what she was doing.

"You know exactly what you did. Is that not why you didn't pick my calls, ehn? I told you that I like someone and you chose that same person that I like. Oh, God will judge you" she shouted

"Who did you like?" I asked calmly

"Raymond of course" she said with a hiss

Guess what I did next? I just started laughing hysterically...

  They both looked at me as if something is wrong with me. I can't blame them. I mean, me marry Raymond. Who does that? Don't get me wrong, he's handsome and all that but please, who marries a guy for those qualities this days???

"Where did you hear that from? " I managed to ask

"So you could justify yourself, abi (right)?" she asked and continued without waiting for a response

"Look here miss Perfect, I just came to warn you to stay away from my man or you wouldn't like what I'll do to you" she finished with an hiss and jammed the door on her way out

"What really happened here?" I asked Sarah because my brain is still trying to process everything

"What you saw really happened here" she confirmed it

"Bisade is my sis and shouldn't be acting like that, right?" I asked her

  She sits beside me and replied, "Yes, she shouldn't be acting nor reacting like that. But guess what, welcome to the Bisade World"

  Different thoughts keeps running through my mind, wondering maybe we've had an issue before but I couldn't come up with anything. It's Bisade we're talking about here, my sister.

"Please come and eat before the food gets cold and don't even try to tell me that you're not hungry. I might be forced to feed you myself" she said with a final tone.

I managed to force a small portion of the food down my throat in order to avoid Sara's wrath....
