I, Sarah Adams take you,
Lawson
Kuti as my lawful wedded
husband, to love and to
cherish,
in sickness and in health, till
death do us part” she
smiled at
him through her veil.
“You may now kiss your
bride
Mr. Lawson” The Pastor
beckoned.
Lawson’s heart raced as he
gently unveiled his bride’s
face.
She looked so beautiful. He
gently
bent over and placed a soft
kiss
on her lips. Sarah in turn
embraced him tightly with
tears
of joy streaming down her
face.
“Never leave me Sarah” He
whispered in her ear.
“I will never leave you” she
whispered and they slowly
released themselves from
the
embrace.
“I present to you the latest
couple!” The Pastor
exclaimed
excitedly
The church cheered and
Sarah
cried more in her husband’s
arms
5 years Later
Sarah silently tip toed
behind her
husband. He was in his
study,
engrossed in reading. She
smiled
to herself and gently
covered his
eyes with both hands.
“It’s just you and I in this
house
Sara, plus, I smelled you the
moment you walked in” He
dropped
Sara released her hold,
sighed
and sat on the study table,
“Why
do you figure me out so
easily? I
can’t even surprise you!
That
sucks” she curled her arms
around his neck
“You are my wife, nothing
you
do is supposed to surprise
me”
He playfully pecked her
nose.
“But you’ve been in the
study all
day and I’m bored!” She
rolled
her eyes
“So what kind of fun do you
suggest we have then?” He
swooped her off the table in
his
arms
“No! not that kind of fun!”
She
hit him playfully till he put
her
down
“Ok”, He folded his arms on
his
chest, looking into her eyes,
“So
what do you want us to do?”
“Not us. Actually, all I want
is to
play with your play station
and
you’ve hidden it again! Just
give
it to me and you can
continue
your reading, pleaaaseee”
She
blinked her eyes playfully
“No way”, He went back
toward
his study chair and sat, “Not
my
play station”
“Why! You never let me
touch it…
like its your baby” She
sulked
“Well”, he rolled his eyes,
“Not
like you’ve given me a baby
yet”
Sara paused for a moment.
Did
he just say that to her? The
words struck her deep down
“You shouldn’t have said
that
Lawson…” She managed to
say,
her countenance changing.
“But it’s true…I’m only
saying the
truth Sara” He turned to
face her,
still sitting on the chair.
“The truth? You think I
don’t
want us to have kids?”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m
not
saying that…” He stood to
face
her now.
“Then what are you saying
Lawson? Tell me, what is the
truth?”
“Let’s not do this today…
please.
You can have the play
station and
play all you want. It’s in my
footwear locker and the key
is in
my Bible”
“You always do this…hurting
me
with your words” Her voice
began to shake
“Don’t start Sara please”
“Tell me why you said those
words to me! I want to
know!”
“Because I’m tired! I want
to be a
father! I want to have my
own
kids Sara…”
” and you think I don’t?!”
Sara
flared, trying not to let the
tears
pour
“Then why can’t you get
pregnant Sara? This is the
fifth
year we are trying.” He
clenched
his teeth and walked out of
the
study room.
