*(EPISODE 2)*

Trisha
On Friday I couldn't focus on anything. My head was aching and I desperately needed to see Zenzele. The guys in the black suits just frustrated my life even more... I couldn't move from my office to the rest room without any of them tagging behind me. I just waited in my office after work hoping that my dad would call me and say that he has realized his mistake. But mom called and I ignored it... I needed dad to call. After unanswered numerous phone calls a guard came in my office with a phone.

Me: is it dad?
Guard: your mother
Me: I am not speaking to her.

He went out and after a few minutes he came in and pulled my chair. While I was still confused about what he was trying to do. He scooped me over his shoulder like I was some kind of a paper and went out with me... I didn't even try to fight him. I guess it was dad's orders.
From all the decorations and preparations that where being done in the house I could guess the ceremony was being held here at home. I headed straight to my bed room with the intention of locking myself inside only to find my make-up artist (Tanya) and designer (Amanda) in my bedroom.

Amanda: Trisha... Where the hell have you been...? It’s late already. I designed your dress. I don't know if you are going to like it since we didn't discuss the details.
Tanya: sit down Trisha... We only have an hour left.

She grabbed me by my hand pulling me to the sit in front of the mirror while Amanda took out the dress. It was a long black fishtail dress with no back it was plain but beautiful. By the time I was done with the whole make up and dress session I was looking so beautiful. Tanya had tied my hair into a bun and curled some hair to drop off my face. But all this was for me to get married to some random stranger. While there is someone out here that I love and he is probably miserable wherever he is. I just felt like dying.

Amanda: Are you okay Trisha... Please don't ruin your make up by crying.

A tear had dropped so I wiped it carefully making sure that I don’t ruin my make-up. I faked a smile

Me: yes I am fine... Just a little bit thirsty... Can you get me a glass of petrol?

Okay how the hell did I say that out loud...? My mind has been over working so much that I didn't realize that I was thinking of ways to end my life.

Amanda: what...
Me: excuse me, I meant water
Amanda: okay.... I'll go get it for you.

After she went out I sent Tanya out and locked the door. I am not going ahead with this. I am not leaving my love to some rich guy whom my father and his father are business associates. There is no way I am doing that.

Veronica

Everything was going well but I was nervous. Everyone knew what was going to happen on the next few hours but no one knew how Trisha felt about this whole engagement thing.
She can be really crazy sometimes, that is why I was trying to delay his father a bit but no my husband thinks that I have spoiled my daughter too much that is why she is so afraid of marriage.
Seriously... He thinks Trisha is afraid of marriage while Trisha is being so angry at him for not accepting her boyfriend.
Sometimes I see a bit my husband on my daughter and it makes my stomach turn... His stubbornness is what made her exactly like him.
The guests started arriving and soon the Tyson family was here they were all dressed like it was some kind of a award ceremony. But then they all seemed friendly and warm enough to everyone except the mother Diana who kept on judging everything and scanning my property while asking me if my daughter shouldn't be in the kitchen. Honestly I have over 5 chefs...
What will my daughter be doing in the kitchen?
She was just so choosy and Judging from the dress she was wearing you can easily guess that she is materialistic.

Diana: can you please tell me this Mrs. Sindia. Your daughter is lovely but do you think she will be able to handle the role of a wife.
Me: Mrs. Tyson... My daughter is one hell of a person who I know will take any role without hesitation.
Diana: I see... Well I hope she knows that the role of a daughter in law is to impress the mother in law. (Smile)

Oh my God... She seems to be very demanding. How is my daughter going to deal and cope with her?
Amanda came rushing downstairs holding a glass with water. Her eyes where all over this room until she saw me, she came over to me. The look on her face was disturbing.

Me: Amanda... Is everything fine?
Amanda: um... Not really. Trisha locked herself in her room and she is not replying to anyone... What scares me is that she had asked for petrol because she is thirsty.
Me: whaa... Did you give it to her?
Amanda: no
Me: ok let's go upstairs I'll go and talk to her.

She can't do this to us... Not now not today. I knocked on her door and she didn't reply.

Me: Trisha... Honey it’s your mom... Open up honey.

She didn't reply and I wasn't surprised. She hasn't talked to me this whole week.

Me: honey... Talk to me... Open up.
Trisha: leave me alone.

Ok... That’s progress.

Me: honey... We need to talk.
Trisha: I don't want to talk to you.
Me: I know this is hard for you because you think you are in love with someone else.
Trisha: (crying) I don't think so I am in love with him.
Me: yes honey but we only want what's best for you. And we know that getting, you married into this family is best for you.
Trisha: no... no... You don't want what's good for me. You are doing this to satisfy yourself. You are selling me off.
Me: why would you think that...Honey, your dad and I love you so much? We would never sell you off. Please open the door.
Trisha: no i won't. You think forcing me to marry some guy that I don't know is a good. Is that how you show your love.
Me: well sweetheart... My marriage was also arranged and it turned out to be a very good thing. So as you know your dad he raised you up so he will see you happy with someone who loves you and who can take care of you.
Trisha: what is wrong with Zenzele? Why can't he marry me? It's not like he won't be able to care for me…
Me: honey Zenzele has nothing to offer you
Trisha: (screams) what do you mean by that...? Is it because he was found on the dumpsters while he was just a month old and he grew up in an orphanage. Mom I don’t need money from him, I am a lawyer and Zenzele has something to offer me okay, he loves me. He loves me so much and he makes me happy. I don’t need anything more than that.

I took a deep breath. You know even though parents always know what's best they tend to overlook the child's happiness and I want nothing but happiness for my child.

Me: honey... Are you sure that Zenzele makes you happy and he would totally do anything for you.

She kept quiet and after a few minutes she finally opened the door. Her make-up was a mess and her eyes had turned red. I sat down with her on her bed.

Trisha: Yes, yes... Zenzie would do anything for me. He loves me, that’s why he admitted it in front of dad even though he knew that dad could kill him.
Me: okay honey I understand you but right now your dad is out there with his business associates, employees and even his best clients. You know even your other relatives are here and if this night doesn't go as planned, he will lose all the respect that they have on him. Our company might fall apart, Shame will fall on our family and we will turn into a joke.
Trisha: so you want me to get engaged for the sake of dad.
Me: yes
Trisha: what!!
Me: I will make a plan to get you out of this engagement before the marriage. In fact I already do have a plan.
Trisha: what plan?
Me: after you get engaged you and Henry will eventually start spending time more often. A day will come when your dad will ask you how you love your new family then you can lay all your complaints down… and I am sure that there is going to be something that has to make your father think twice about that family.
Trisha: you think dad will listen to me.
Me: Trisha your dad loves you, and as far as I know.... you guys share a special relationship, he would never let you in a family that is not good for you.
Trisha: I don't know mom... You want me to make Henry's family look bad.
Me: don't put it like that... We are compromising.

She looked at me for a long time and finally agreed. Tanya had to start her job from scratch again.

Trisha

Dad and I we have always been close. He is actually a very warm person if he is not grumpy like the past few days but he has never stopped controlling everything around him, I was not sure if mom's plan will work yet here I was... Walking down the stairs as if I am walking down the aisle and dad was saying a poem… I think he heard it somewhere.

Dad: She is beauty and she is grace... She is the princess of my kingdom.... She is Mrs. Tyson to be...

A few from the crowd laughed.

Mom: (whispering) smile

I stuck a smile on my face and looked at the crowd. I looked at the family that I am going to get engaged into and it was reasonably big.
A family of three sons and two daughters. It was at that moment when I realized that I don't know which of these guys is Henry. I never really looked at his.
I just ignored that fact. While I slowly walked down my eyes met with Mrs. Tyson's and gosh they were freaky. It was as if she was analyzing if I was good enough for his son.

Mom: (whispering) keep on smiling Trisha.
Me: (smiling) I am smiling mother.
Mom: (whispering) why are you so fast...? Walk slowly.
Me: but mom I am walking at turtle pace. I am wearing 12 inch stilettos and walking down half a kilometers stairs. I want to sit... My legs are killing me...
Mom: stop exaggerating and smile.

By the time I sat down my legs where screaming hallelujah. Dad said a long speech about my childhood and it was beautiful... I would have liked it if the person I was getting married to was the love of my life.
Mr. Tyson took the mic and said a few words. It turns out dad and Mr. Tyson have been friends for the past 2 years. I wonder how come I don't know him.
During all this moments of people clapping and cheering, a smile stuck to my face because mom kept on threatening me.
As for my mind and heart... They were on another planet. I couldn't help wondering where Zenzele was and what he must be doing.
He must be in despair wherever he is but I know that he knows that come whatever I will never leave him.
Just then a guy so handsome and hot enough to bring me back from planet love stood up and smiled.
His chest stuck out on the cream white suit he was wearing and the muscles where visible on the sleeves and hallelujah... His walk!
It was quite obvious he is either an athlete
My goodness his smile, I felt my stomach turn into knots. Is a person allowed to be that hot.

Me: (whispering) who is that
Mom: (looks at me) you haven't been listening have you.
Me: does it matter.
Mom: (shakes her head) listen to him he will tell you.

Mom can also be grumpy sometimes.

Him: I am... Don't know what to say... I swear when I saw her walking down the stairs I became speechless.

He is looking at me... Could he be Henry...? No it can't.

Him: she is so much beautiful in person. Mr. Sindia... You have a gorgeous daughter. When my dad showed me her photos I just couldn't say no to her...

No way... This is the freak that I am supposed to get engaged to. Totally unexpected. How come he looks like he is a prince from some Disney cartoons? How did he agree to an arranged marriage, surely a man of his looks can have any girl he wishes…. No something is not right.

Henry: my dad always taught me that love doesn't come easy. You have to treat a woman right... Show her care, love and affection. She must never feel unworthy or unwanted because she is worth everything. He always said a woman is precious, she is a diamond so handle with care. Right now I am looking at someone who is worth everything. Priceless? (Smiles)

I guess this is the part where I am supposed to blush but tears are rolling down my cheeks because I really wish it was Zenzele up stage telling me that and how much he loves me. And where the hell is he... Shouldn't he be fighting for our love...?
Henry came and kneeled in front of me.

Henry: so I kneel in front of the most elegant lady asking for her hand in marriage. Please Trisha Sindia... Will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Tyson?

I remained there frozen... He was holding a ring that costs almost half a million. And he was looking right into my eyes. The problem was I was just about to lie to everyone... To him, To my dad, To his parents but it just felt so real. That moment I wished Zenzele could just enter the house screaming then I would run away with him. I was brought back to life by a tap on my shoulder it was my mom and I realized that I had been quite for such a long time.

Henry: are you okay Trisha.
Me: um... Yes I am... Just a stuck smile.

The crowd laughed

Me: yes... I will be Mrs. Tyson.

He stood up and slipped the ring on my finger. I stood up and he tried to kiss me. I moved my head back and smiled before I gave him a hug.

The crowd applauded and cheered. After that they forced me to give a speech.

Me: I really have no words to say. I am just hurt because I am leaving someone I love behind. Someone who has had my heart since I was young, How is he going to live without me.

Ooops did I say that out loud. The look on dad's face was scary and everyone else was confused because I was crying.

Me: the person I love who I am talking about is... my dad.
Dad: don't worry sweetheart. I will live.

I saw relief on his face... The crowd laughed and I put the mic away. People stood up and started chatting while some helped themselves to snacks while I decided to just sit down. Henry took a chair and stood in front of me. I kept quiet and looked at the large diamond on my finger.

Henry: hey... hi
Me: hi
Henry: you seem down.
Me: don't worry about it.
Henry: in case you are worried.... I meant what I said on stage.
Me: I am sure you did, may I ask how old are you?
Henry: I thought your dad told you everything about me
Me: just your name
Henry: ok well I am 26 years old.

I held my breath… 26years couldn’t he have been a little bit younger. Just then 3 men and 2 women came to sit next to us. It was the Tyson siblings... The ones I saw earlier on. I wonder where Henry was.

Henry: honey... This is my family

I have a new name... That was awkwardly fast.

Me: hi
Henry: this is my big brother Leonard and his wife Rena. This is my little brother Danny and his wife Chloe. Lastly the last born of the family Samuel we call him Sam. It seems he will be the only one without a wife.

They laughed

Me: um... Nice to meet you, I am my only father's child.
Henry: don't worry. You have siblings now.

Veronica

I watched Trisha from a distance and she seemed out of place. My husband came and whispered something to me.

Stan: don't worry... She will get used to it.

I remember my father also told me the same thing.

Diana: you have a lovely girl Mrs. Sindia.
Me: and you have a handsome boy Mrs. Tyson.
Diana: the way you are looking at her... Are you worried about her?

I turned to look at her then i looked back at my daughter

Me: she is my daughter after all... I am bound to be worried about her.
Diana: you don't think she will be comfortable or that she will cope with a strange family.
Me: you don't blame for that do you Mrs. Tyson.
Diana: absolutely not... After all she has been the only child in this family and she is used to getting everything she wishes at the snap of her finger.
Me: excuse me
Diana: tell you what... Let us take her today, spend a week with us so that she experiences what it means to be a wife.
Me: mmh... Okay if you say so... Then she can give me feedback about it. Let's tell the husbands.

Trisha

The Tyson siblings really seem to have a strong bond. They teased each other and laughed while to me... There was nothing that was really funny. Dad then called for everyone’s attention. The look he gave me after clearing his throat... I did not like it.

Dad: as you know... My daughter is still young... She barely knows a thing about married life... The Tyson family has decided to take her today...

What!!!

Dad: For a week so that she experiences what married life is all about. Isn't that great.

Applaud

Dad: but that’s if you agree princess.

Oh hell no!! Why would you do this dad...? Do you want me to embarrass you. I looked at mom who nodded at me.

Me: yes... Why not.

Everyone cheered. I felt my eyes getting watery.

Henry: wow... This is great isn't it?
Me: yeah... It is great.
Henry: hey, are you okay
Me: I... I just have a little headache. Please excuse me I have to rest a little.

I rushed upstairs to my room I didn't care about the high shoes... Or who was watching. I just wanted some space.
But then I never really get what I want do I... There were servants all over my room packing up my bags.
I went to sit next to the window and look at the window. I remember how Zenzele used to say he made the garden beautiful just for my eyes. He used to play his guitar on a big rock right where I could see him.
Henry got inside the bedroom and sat next to me. I quickly wiped my tears.

Henry: I brought you some painkillers and water for the headache
Me: thanks
Henry: are you sure you are okay.

I looked at him. He looked sincere and honest. I just gave him high hopes of nothing. He thinks he is engaged while I am going to ruin this for him. What kind of a person am I...? Selfish.
Right then it hit me. What if mom tricked me so into marrying this guy... What if dad is not going to listed to me? I have to make things right.

Henry: make what right.

Ooops! I said that out loud. It doesn't matter, I am going to show him the truth. I am sure he will understand.

Me: come with me... There is someone I want to show you.

I said and went out of the house using the kitchen door and we went to my porch. I kept quite all the way and he respected the fact that I want silence.

Me: please wait for me here

I knocked on the door only to realize that it wasn't even locked.

Me: Zenzie... Baby

No one answered. I sat on the couch and took of my shoes then I noticed that he had left his t-shirt on the couch. I took it and headed to the bed room. His shoes were lying around. I also picked them up. His trousers were at the door of his bed room. Honestly this is a bit freaky because he is a clean freak. I guess he must be a guy real mess because of me. I opened the bedroom door.
What the fuck!!!!
My heart raced. My knees weakened. The clothes fell right off my hands. I was suffocating. I blinked hard... I wished my eyes were lying to me.
He was naked on the bed with another girl between his legs.

To be continued shortly!!
