Aderonke's Dilemma (Episode 12b)

             COINCIDENCE(2)☔☔💕💕

CONTINUATION......

I guess life doesn't go as we imagine it to sometimes be. Its been two years now and I thought I would run into BAMIDELE again like I have done those few times but I didn't.. Its even much more frustrating that we didn't have each other's contact details. I comforted myself with the fact that he could have looked for me since he knew my house if he really wanted to be friends... We are both busy people so I shouldn't get myself worried when we are both living fine separately! Guess nothing is coincidental about us, just comforting assumptions.

I was doing perfectly fine until my parents informed me that a marriage has been arranged for me!! I was furious!!!! How can they do this to me? At this age in time??? Who still does that shit!?? They didn't even care for my own feelings! Am I now a business tool for their own selfish entrepreneurial manipulation?? To make matters worse, I won't meet my to-be-husband until the wedding day! Aaahh!! I am so crushed!! What a miserable life that was! All attempt to extricate myself of the engagement failed as my parents cut off all means of livelihood until I did their biddings. I agreed after much failed battles.

The D-day came. I must have been the saddest bride in the history of brides. I was escorted to the altar in my father's arm(he had to practically drag me) and of course the bridal retinues. The unknown groom was already waiting. I didn't bother to look up. I was crying. That was when I heard it!!! Sound of raindrops on the roof! Not another coincidence abeg!. Each rainfall has always reminded me of him over the last few years. I missed him so much... I didn't know when we reached the front pulpit and I heard the priest clear his throat.

PRIEST: Now the groom would have to read out the vows from pamphlet meaning it with all his heart...

GROOM: I, Bamidele Braide, accept Aderonke Moses as my wife, to love and to cherish, for plenty and little, for better for best, till death do us part...

PRIEST: now the bride would take her vows

(I wasn't concentrating all the while and didn't even hear my husband take the vows until the priest nudged me. I was about reading the vows when the groom's name on the pamphlet caught my eyes)

ME: Bamidele??? (I looked up at my groom and it was really him. He smiled knowingly and I was so happy I forgot to say my vows and just kissed the man of my dreams!).......... .............

Life isn't always rosy! Its been a year since our wedding and he is threatening to file a divorce because our first child looks so much like his younger brother who stays in the room adjacent our own! Pls can someone help me explain to him that this also might be COINCIDENCE???

oopsss!! No rain for confirmation!!!
