MARRIAGE

Annabel came back home fulfilled with his achievement, unlike others, Pamela practically asked Annabel out,it was strange but then nothing can stop Annabel's urge from what he wants,things became all rosy for them.
Annabel introduced Pamela to his family on one Friday afternoon,he called his family out to show them his wife to be.
Annabel* Paulina,Victoria,peace,Martha,Felicia,come out we have an important person in our midst.
Peace* welcome our husband (Victoria and Martha joining them,while Felicia and Paulina who fell sick while Annabel was away were still inside.
Annabel* (clearing his throat) peace where are the rest of you,why is it just the three of you here?
Peace* they are sick my husband,they will join soon.
Annabel* tell them to be fast,I have somewhere to go to.
Peace* I will do just that (walking into the room to check on her co wives) our husband seek to have a meeting with all of us,I will help you(facing Felicia who almost fell while trying to stand up)
Felicia* thank you peace
Soon they managed to come out for the meeting.
Annabel* my wives,I have been on a little journey for a while,as you all know I was ill and addmited to the healthcare,I suffered there but our maker sent me help through this woman here(pointing at Pamela who was all over him) so I would want to repay the kindness by bringing her home to join us as my wife,I wouldn't want her to be disturbed in any way,she told me her story and I was touched,so I would want to be all that she never had,anyone who has anything to say about it should please keep quiet.(looking in the direction of peace who obviously wanted to talk) I'm therefore done with the meeting,serve my new wife food to eat,she must be hungry.
Peace* my husband there is no food at home,no money to restock,our children has stopped schooling because of money.
Annabel* I brought some foodstuffs home on my way from work, one of you should prepare it,as for the children,they don't need to go to school,I didn't go to school and I'm doing well today.
Peace* my husband my two co-wives have been sick since you left.
Annabel* human beigns are ment to be down once in a while,the healthy ones should take care of the sick ones(Felicia left them in anger,walked outside slowly, while dragging her feet against the ground)
Annabel* as you can see one of you already scattered the meeting,so we are done here(standing up to leave)
Martha* my husband please are we permitted to farm now,so that we can take care of ourselves?
Annabel* do what ever(left the sitting room headed to his room which was separately built inside his compound,)
Pamela* I'm really hungry,who is doing the serving please?
Nobody responded to her,she wasn't only showing off,she was throwing herself to their faces.
Pamela* my husband (calling on Anabbel who already left the living room)come show me your kitchen,"your wives seem sick to attend to my needs" she said walking towards Annabel's direction.
Dennis Martha and Annabel's first son*mama I don't like that woman,she is rude to us.
Victoria*it's ok my child,we all will be fine with time.
Help!!!! who is closer? mother!!!!
Martha* that is grace's voice,what might have happened to her,they all rushed out leaving Paulina who was almost not hearing any single thing they said throughout the meeting.
Peace* grace what happened? Hey!!!!!!! My husband come ooo
Grace, Victoria's daughter who left her siblings where they were playing outside to come drink water, found Felicia on the floor in pool of her own blood.
Annabel hearing the noises outside angrily stormed out,what is going on? he shouted angrily.
They kept screeming,he came closer and saw Felicia's body lying lifeless.
Annabel* what is going on here,what is her problem?
Victoria* I think Felicia is unconscious my husband.
From indications, Felicia left the meeting upset with their husband's words,she hasn't stood nor walked on her own for some weeks,it was obvious she fell down and unfortunately hit her head on a stone and collapsed,she was taking to the healthcare and confirmed dead on getting there.
The family morned and blamed Annabel who blamed them for not taking care of her.

So our marriage will wait because of your wife?
She seem like a bad luck,we will have to proceed anyways Pamela said to Annabel who was lost in thought, Annabel nodded in agreement to Pamela who has been living with him for a while.
A week later Felicia was burried,the tears from their children couldn't bring their mothers back as Paulina joined Felicia a week later.
Annabel and his wife to be, continued with their wedding plan.
Annabel never wedded any of his wives,he only paid their bride prices and brought them home but here,it is different, Pamela is an orphan and has nobody she would approve worthy to accept her bride price,so the wedding was rather a welcome party for her, Annabel spent his last cash to make Pamela happy with their wedding.
Finally the day has come,on the early hours of that day, Annabel woke up and couldn't find Pamela,he searched everywhere but didn't see her,he became worried, preparations are going on where could she be? nobody knew where she went to, Annabel sent people out to search for her,it was almost time for the ceremony to start,he was confused,went into the room to cry,as he sat on his favourite chair (looking for me?) Pamela all dressed and glittering in her sequence material,my husband where have you been?
Annabel* Pamela what happened,we have been looking for you everywhere,you got me worried.
Pamela* I went to see a friend
Annabel* but I didn't see you coming in,I sent people to look for you.
Pamela* don't worry my husband,today is our day,we can't ruin our joy today,you will become mine today and I'm happy about it.
Annabel (still worried) ok if you say so,your clothe,it looks queenly and beautiful,I never knew you had something like this or rather,I never knew you were making something like this.
Pamela* no more questions my husband,I will explain later.
In few minutes they were set to leave,Mr Annabel dressed in his isi agu cheiftency wear,it is time Pamela smiled and said, reaching out to mr Annabel,
Pamela* my husband I made this for you,try it on(handing a rather small bead necklace to him)
Annabel* this looks nice my queen(putting it on)it really looks good.
Pamela* it is special,it is ment for you and you alone.
Annabel wore the necklace, confirmed it was special and off they went to the venue.
They were over joyed and made merry as they were decleared husband and wife, as it was time to take pictures,Pamela got missing again,the husband didn't bother much since they were already married and Pamela told him not to worry.
It was already late when Annabel got home and discovered nobody was at home, including his family who were not invited to the wedding.
Now he is worried,he left the house confused,as he passed some people,they looked at him with pity until he got to people who where open enough to sympathize with him.
First woman* why do evil things happen to the wrong people? Take heart Mr Annabel,our creator knows all.
Second woman* please don't be discouraged,this world is evil.
Annabel* (looking shocked)what is all this,can someone talk before I lose it?
Third woman* Mr Annabel we are just coming from the river,your family are there,we confirmed 19 of your children were drowned this evening, it's a pity(as she bursted into tears)such an abomination has never happened.
Annabel* (laughed) you people are bigger than this,try something else,my own children drowned? The joke is expensive do you all know?
Third woman* we cannot joke with a thing like that,you should find out yourself.
Annabel still believe they were joking as he asked them if they saw his new wife,no they didn't.
He hurried off to the river anyways and met the worst shock of his life,wives crying over their children who has been filled with water.
Annabel wept bitterly for the first time in his life.
Witnesses around said they were all calling out Pamela as their little shallow river suddenly became deep at the presence of a big tonado but the witnesses didn't know who was Pamela and saw no one as well.
Arrangements were made and the children were burried by the river bank,since they can't be taken home considering tradition.
On getting home that night,they could hear noises from the kitchen,they went to the kitchen and Annabel was pounding cocoyam for dinner.
Pamela* my husband don't tell me you left me all by myself at the wedding.
Annabel* where did you go to and what happened to my children?
The first time Annabel was shouting at Pamela.
Pamela* I don't know what you are talking about and what children is that? I have been at home waiting for you and you are here to shout at me?
Annabel* my children drowned today, burried and witnesses said they all called out your name.were you the one who asked them to go to the river today? answer me.
Pamela* my husband please calm down,was that why you took the necklace I gave you in love out?
Annabel in anger threw the necklace at Pamela and suddenly blood were flowing down her nose.
Annabel* are you ok,what is wrong with you too,what is going on in my family,what wrong have I done?
Pamela* (struggling to breathe)put the necklace on or I will die,I will explain later.
Annabel hurriedly wore the necklace back.
Annabel* now tell me what is happe.........(as his eyes changed,he totally forgot that he lost his children today,he rushed to Pamela to carry her up from the ground.
Pamela* don't take this necklace off ever again
Annabel* I won't, I promise.
They left for their room while his wives morned their children alone.
