When the door of the Church was opened, a woman with long hair and a white dress appeared, noticing the lump or more correctly telling her that she was pregnant. Shes looking at here here at the altar where Eliot and I were standing while. I saw the pain that could be seen in her two eyes and she slowly walked closer to us.
If I describe her appearance, I can say that she looks like a Barbie doll because of her whiteness and innocent looks. When she got close to us, she stopped in the middle not far from us because it looked like it was only four walks.
“H-Hubby … w-what’s … the meaning of this” she said softly and stuttering as he looked back and forth with the two of us I saw her tears dripping while holding his one hand in her stomach bulged. I looked at Eliot and d*mn. I just saw that expression that you can see with concern. I moved away from him a little.
“Eliot what is happening right now! Do you know this girl? ” I asked him sharply and confusedly. But I didn’t get an answer from him and he just approached the pregnant woman.
“B-baby d*mn stop crying okay it’s not good with our baby” he worriedly said to the pregnant woman. It was as if a few needles had pierced me. What I witnessed today in the day of our wedding.
“Eliot can you explain this to me because I’m confused. It’s our wedding day today but this is what’s happening !!” I told him.
“CAN YOU F*CKING SHUT UP!” He shouted at me with all his might So I jumped a little and gradually dripped My tears I also see The people who are already looking confusily to us.
“Oh my God! We are in the Church, don’t cuss here, fear God “The Priest panickly said but I ignored him.
“So you’re shouting me just for that woman!” I said to him.
“Stop it Iris! Let’s just talk later, I’ll take her home first “I was hurt when he mentioned my name because he hasn’t called me by my first name yet because we always call each other Honey.
“Let’s go home baby” He said gently to the woman while he’s escorting the woman and they slowly walked to leave the Church.
“H-honey …. Y-your leaving me here?” I said softly and I knew he heard that. So he stopped but he also continued to walk.
“I Swear when you leave in this Church. That means you don’t nothing to go back to.” when I said that he stopped and looked at me.
“Plaese Iris not now” he said with pleasing eyes.
“When you go with the woman that just means that you prefer her” I said while My tears slowly pour on my cheeks.
“F*CK IT IRIS WHY DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORD LET’S TALK LATER !!!” He shouted So I can’t speak because this is the first time he shouted at me during our time together.
I was just stunned by the absence and let them go. I was sitting on the cement of the Church and wept because of what had happened.
“Oh My God !! Daughter, are you okay? “My aunt approached me but my mind was blank and I just cried.
“Husshh now Iris, my son we’ll surely pay for this” aunt agnes said and she hugged me I was dumb but I cried and didn’t even listened to other various comments. Because of too much crying I lost consciousness.
“Oh gosshhh Rex help us she collapse !!” I even heard my aunt shout at her husband which is uncle Rex but I couldn’t hear anything because my brain was blank.
