SECOND-HAND MARRIAGE.

When Rwafa dared himself to join the Chimurenga to help free modern-day Zimbabwe, he had gone against the will of his two weeks bride and followed his intuition. He had been wooed by the freedom fighters to join the struggle and he had gone there unprepared for the violence that soon greeted him on arrival. Now a year has passed, freedom has been won but he is forever changed and can't bring himself to face his bride.

Back in Svove village, Ruva has kept faith that her husband Rwafa would soon return to her as promised. When a year passes without a letter from him, she still kept her faith in his coming back home to her. Optimism could only carry one so far as Ruva soon finds herself thrown in an arranged marriage with a man who looks like Rwafa but differs strongly from Rwafa.

Having spent a year pleading with his father to let bygones be bygones, Simba finds himself running out of time to save his brother's bride. He and his cousin Chamu, formulate a plan to win Ruva's hand as he sees himself as the lesser evil among his brood of cousins lined up to marry her. What he didn't bargain for was falling in love with her and coming face to face with his long lost brother for Ruva's love.

Join me here every Sunday to unfold the story of Ruva, Rwafa, and Simba. A story of love that can't be divided equally among three, with insecurities that threaten to divide a family, traditions so barbaric they will make you thank the heavens for being born in a better era.
