Jiteshell:
It's just like reading those cartoons at the back of vanguard today and the one you read tomorrow does not continue from where yesterday's own stopped but jumped, and it kept on happening with every episode, you surely wud not be happy and maybe even stop reading it, I unfollowed this story many times cos of it but I keep coming back, I can't help it

Thank you so much darl, God bless you. I'll work on it.

Any one with knowledge of CONTINUITY should please educate me.

Jiteshell:
You are good but you still have this big problem, from your first story on nairaland to this one, it is still there.
You are good but the only thinq i noticed about your work is that it lacks continuity. If you work better on ur continuity rather than jumpinq from one scene to another,it would really take you places.
This problem was in dotted lines up till generations to generations. Please work on it, it makes your work tiresome to read.

Please expatiate on what you mean by continuity.

'This is not happening to me, no...no...not my own Kafayat ...not my own daughter... not my own daughter. ' Aishat wailed, shaking both legs vigorously.

After the grey haired doctor had announced the diagnosis of her daughter thereby sealing her fate, she threw herself on the floor a couple of times and rolled on the cold ground as though the god or the determinant of fate will take cognizant of her and reverse the fate of her child.

Shakirat, Basirat and Yerima having been plunged into shock still yet to recover from the former were too lost in their individual thoughts, that they had not noticed their mother display talk more of consoling her.

Dishevelled and sored, she was now sitted on the marble tiled floor of the corridor that led to a couple of private wards in which her daughter now lay heavily sedated.

'No...no, what will people say that my child... my flesh and blood is in a psychiatric hospital.' She placed both hands on her head void of the earlier scarf which was now resting some distance away on the antiseptic floor. 'This will be generational smear.'

The words of her mother had snapped out Basirat from her staring into space state to focus at Aisha.

She continued to stare at her as she would a stranger while processing the words she had just heard.

'How can you allow your mind run so far mother, at least Kafayat is alive, what do you want the family of Saheed to do and say, he was the only son?' She glared at her mother obviously disappointed.

'Now you claim to be learned...' She shook her head and stared into space. 'Do you consider a psychiatric patient living?'

'What!' The trio glared at her as though she just confessed to being a witch and had been responsible for all the loss so far.

Aisha sighed and then heaved.

What if he got a call from Ada that his son had being to rushed to the hospital? The sudden thought chilled him and Yerima felt himself begin to perspire.

'Oh my God...' Yerima groaned, fumbled for his car keys and gave some inaudible excuse before hurrying out like the right hand man of the devil was hot on his pursuit.

Basirat burst into tears and her whole body shook as she remembered the event that was barely a week old.

After waiting for a couple of hours in the church for the arrival of the groom and his men, tension built in both families and well wishers. It was worst on the the beautiful bride, who paced, tried numbers no one seemed to be picking, paced and lamented.

'This can't be happening to me...Saheed can never do this to me.' She had repeated over and over again while sweating in the fully air conditioned 2014 hyaundi.

Basirat had being with her and said all the encouraging words she could remember fearing the worst until the news came that on their way to the church venue, a HIAB truck had lost control of its brakes and had used the Jeep Saheed was in as a wedge.

Saheed had died instantly and others in the car suffered a non-life threatening injury.

The news had sent Kafayat reeling to floor and after few seconds,  she lay still motionless.

She was rushed to the hospital and after three days,  ragained consciousness only to start  displaying psychotic symptoms.

Her doctor had no other choice than to refer her for expert management.

'I am getting scared, I don't know long it will be before I lose my sanity.' Basirat blew her nose and sat on a seat.

Shakirat let her guards down as she remembered her departed son, soon was kneeling on the ground sobbing.

Aisha sniffed and sneezed before burying her face in palms.

'Please honeymu talk to me, tell what have I done to deserve this kind of treatment?' Ezinne Ezeugo knelt beside her husband with both of her palms opened before her.

'Your appointment with the consultant was today, what did he say?' His eyes didn't leave the newsprint his eyes was on.

Despite the fact that for about three minutes, she had been pleading with her husband, willing him to say something, anything but not the silent treatment he had been leashing out on her, the sudden sound of his voice and iciness accompanied with it made her shudder.

'Emmm...I... some foreign doctors also visited and after examination and other routine. They all confirmed me medically okay to conceive.' Tears formed in her eyes. 'I have prayed, you know I have done everything required of me.' She entwined her palms and exhaled as the first set of tears rolled down her cheeks. 'You know I didn't mess up my life, I was a virgin till our wedding night. ' With her knees, she moved close to him and rested her palm on his knees. 'Please honey, I beg you...' Her voice trembled. 'Please don't ever leave me...please. You're my life, if you leave, I will die. I beg of you, please don't leave and marry someone else...' Her voice trailed off as she began to sob.

'What makes you think I want to marry another?' Marcus cast the newsprint aside to give her a scrutinizing look.

She lowered her gaze momentarily and then swallowed hard. 'You haven't said a word to me for over twenty four hours...you haven't touched my meals and... and that's how all begins.'

A smile formed on his lips as he placed a palm beneath his chin. 'Nne, you're a fantastic cook denying myself of your meals with no ideal replacement is not wise. I am disturbed, close to a score years without a child to show for i is... is I don't know what to even say.' He exhaled and ran his finger through his low cut hair with a touch of grey.

Ezinne heaved.

'Ladies try to take advantage of this challenge to make advances but I refuse because when I married you, it was for better and worst. Besides...I... I don't even know if the probability of another lady conceiving for me. I love you too much for all that "trial and error" mess.' She pulled her close and plant a kiss on her forehead.

She exhaled as relief flooded her almost bursting into hysterical laughter.

'Imagine my four year niece dead after being raped to death by the house boy, my brother had employed and since then, Ngozi had been unable to conceive again. Enough of science and technology, Azubuike and I will be going to see a spiritualist tomorrow.'

The information hit her like a bolt from the blue but she dare not protest.

'My o my! ' Basirat exclaimed. 'This is beautiful, in fact, this is out of this world!'

Kafayat swirled in the sparkling wedding gown designed with imperial pearls.

Basirat shrieked and cheered in obvious delight. 'I've never seen any wedding gown so beautiful in my entire life.'

'It's just like my sweetheart elder sister in Los Angeles took a peep into my mind. I couldn't have have ask for anything more beautiful.' She hugged her herself with her arms.

'I'm so happy for you darling. Saheed is a wonderful man and I am not surprised, we've all been blessed with dedicated husbands.' Basirat beamed and stole a glance at her elder sister who winked at her and she chuckled.

Joyous, Kafayat couldn't help but cat walk once in the centre of the sitting wing of their father's house as though she was on the run way.

The Shakirat's twin daughters and Basirat's triplet were with their grand mum in her bedroom.

Basirat had started bleeding about fifteen minutes after delivery and the only way to save her life was an immediate removal of her womb.

It had taken the faces of the triplet, her husband, family and psychotherapy for her to feel like a woman again.

+++

With her arms outstretched, looking more elegant than ever before in immaculate white wedding gown without a train but fully designed with gem stones she slowly swirled to the music playing.

The last family photograph she took with her family was projected on the screen in the large banquet hall.

Mon enfant, ma baby girl
Voici venu le moment tant appréhendé
Où je dois te conduire, Bras dessus, bras
dessous
A celui qui prendra ta main
Devant Dieu et devant les hommes
Ton prince charmant, A qui tu diras oui
Pour le meilleur et pour le pire

Jesu tche,
Hwelin ganto tche,
Wa se de tche,
Ovi tche we
Nin dji djo ho,
Assou dagbe,
Kpo vi dji dji,
Dona dona ni tche
Gbe he me mite sien
Azon she ma dike,
Ma kpe nou kounwe go
Dje dje vignin baby girl
Dje die hoin be sou gnonnou eh

Omon mi baby girl,
I wo ti mon feran oh,
To fe lo si ilé oko
Adouwa mon gba foun e, K’oloroun mi ma
baelo

Though I hate to see you go
I know you have your life to live
And I can see love in your eyes
The sun shines brightly in your heart
You’re never been so beautiful
And you can see my joy and pride for you

Katherine smiled as she swayed from left to right, she felt so much peace. Now she can think about her family with remorse. God had blessed her beyond comparison and had given her a family who adored her.

Though your smile I see your tears
Take his hand my baby girl,
And be his wife forever more
The time has come for you to go
Wipe your tears and never fear
Cause I will always be right here for you

Katherine did justice to the music with her dance steps, all the dance class she had attended with her mother-in- law and the knew before were paying off and soon enough the Secretary General of the Biennial Business Administration Awards joined her on the dance floor.

She had requested to be alone for the first couple of minutes of the song. Kelvin who was radiating in his grey tuxedo had half expected her to cry because she knew she was taking that time to pay tribute to her departed family.

Franklin joined the duo on the dance floor as the "Afro-akpala-funk", Nel Oliver's baby girl still filled the air waves.

He embraced her and they danced together. Franklin had gotten the greatest surprise of his life when she had asked him a couple of week ago to be one to walk her down the aisle. He had wanted to know why and she went ahead to tell him about her family. She had also added that she was choosing him because he was the first fatherly figure that believe in her after the demise of her Dad.

Tu sais j’ai tant rêvé
De pouvoir te garder,
Sans jamais t’partager
Mon enfant, ma baby girl,
Ton prince charmant est arrivé
I never thought you’d leave me, Soon for
anyone
So hard to let you go,
Oh my child, my baby girl
The time has come to live your life

The song ended with Katherine in her husband arms. 'Are you okay my Sweetness?'

She smiled up at him before nodding.

He kissed her knowingly.

Just then, the master of ceremony introduced the presence of the one who had being named a legend from birth.

They all cheered at John Legend presence.

Kelvin and Katherine exchanged a surprise look but soon enough, they were dancing so well to the danceable rendition of one of their favorite song- All of me.

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You got my head spinning, no kidding,
I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me,
but I'll be alright

My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and
I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh...

Darlene dancing with her younger brother smiled satisfactorily as she stole another glance at the couple who were laughing at the dance steps Kelvin was doing.

She saw to the musician presence as a wedding gift  to her son and her daughter, who had being both a blessing and a bundle of joy to her family.

She glance at her first daughter, Kayla and Kenneth who were both dancing like it was their wedding. Her eyes strayed to the diamond ring that sat proudly in her engagement finger and beamed.

She was indeed grateful to God.

The transportation division of SIC had released two airplanes for the wedding. One of which had filled from Nigeria.

Most of the staff of Nigeria and Ghanaian branch, Katherine's pastor and his wife, Obika, Chidozie and Oluchukwu alongside their parents had joined the plane.

Dignitaries in Nigeria, USA and other countries had honoured the couple with their presence.

Gifts and well wishes started pouring as soon as the wedding announcement was made.

SIC Nigeria as a joint gift for their formal bosses had invited Flavor to do wedding anthem-Ada Ada.

With Katherine in the centre and all other West African guests present, they danced so well tweaking the upper and lower part of their bodies, male and female alike leaving others envious.

Kelvin had handed over to Olaide after he proposed to Katherine, that same weekend, he had gotten married to his heart throb.

He was taking charge of the oldest SIC which was also the head quarters worldwide right there in USA.

He didn't want a distant marriage.

As Lionel Richie crowned the ceremony with -All night long.

Obika, Chidozie and Oluchukwu at the fore front led them all to uniform dance steps that was fun filled.

Soon the couple boarded the helicopter to their honeymoon venue to return in a week to best Kayla and Kenneth.

As Camilla said her goodbye barely breathless, she knew there was a part that she would never forget being the wedding planner.

Kelvin and Katherine exchange at the church,

'You're my treasure of inesteemable value.' Kelvin began.

'You mean the world to me my love, I won't give you away for the treasures of this world.' She said solemnly looking deep into his eyes.

'You're my missing rib sweetheart and now that I am joined to you, I am complete.'

'You're the complete epitome of my dream man, the angel of my heart, the very one sent to set my life in order. I love and respect  you so very much Kelvin Sigismund.'

'I love you so much more Katherine Sigismund.' He winked at her and pulled her instantly into his arms for a long and passionate kiss.

The congregation had rose to applaud them.

Precious who was now married and in the early stage of pregnancy had fetched a whistle from her purse and blew continuously unable to contain her joy.

Camilla beamed. She had gathered all the needed knowledge from both of her big sisters and she trusted God for the man from whose rib she was created.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the latest couple in the whole wide world, Mr and Mrs Sigismund!' The officiating minister announced.
