For the past two weeks I've been avoiding Ralph. Not that there's much avoidance to do since he has been avoiding me way before I started avoiding him. When I told Chizi and Maria, Maria was so happy and she practically squealed until I reminded her that I am engaged that that shut her up. I got more confused than I already was.
I mean I prefer Ralph's company to Johnson's but it doesn't mean anything right? Why can't my life be less dramatic.
Right now, I was fitting my wedding dress with Chizi and Maria with me.
"I hate this dress" I stated sourly from inside the fitting room as I adjusted it
"Girl just come out first" Maria encouraged.
I walked out of the fitting room to where they were and Maria gasped.
"The dress is beautiful" Maria gushed
"I know but I don't like it. His mum is making me wear it. She's just like my mum. Controlling. It's not even their wedding and they want things to go their way" I replied
"Babe ehh, leave that thing. Your wedding is for your mother ooo. My mum has been carrying my wedding on her head oo, boasting to everyone that her daughter is getting married and that what she will wear will be Canadian lace. Is there a thing like that?" Maria asked making us burst out laughing.
"But guys really, his mum disregards all my opinion on anything at all, she says she doesn't like my dressing and that I should try to look classy by not carrying my natural hair. What rubbish? She even said that she doesn't like my job that I might have to quit. I'm not even married yet and she's talking of me quitting. And Johnson let her talk to me the way she likes. For God's sake stand up for me. He's marrying me not his mother" I complained
"Babe calm down. When you guys get married, you won't live with her so you can live your life" Chizi replied
"Like you don't know we are in Nigeria. Once you marry a guy, you are marrying his whole family. And trust Nigerian mothers. They can find a way to press your button. I'm sure that woman will keep controlling us even from her own house" I reminded her.
Chizi stood up, fixing the veil on my head and turned me around to face the mirror.
"Look in the mirror. I see a beautiful woman who knows what she wants and will not let anyone control her" she smiled at me
"My mum basically controls me Chizi so that part is kinda wrong" I replied
"Okay. You are right. That was the wrong word" Chizi groaned making us laugh
"Your stupidity is an award winning behavior" Maria teased Chizi.
Immediately, Chizi removed her sandals and threw it at Maria who screamed when it made contact with her hand
"Don't you dare insult me. I'm someone's future wife" she raised her left hand and wiggled her fingers.
My eyes caught a shinny silver ring which I didn't notice before because I was so invested in my wedding plans being a mess
"It's a lie" I screamed
"It's true ooo" she replied
"Oh my God, oh my God. Congratulations" Maria screamed and we had a group hug
"I'm so happy for you love" I told her into the hug
"I'm happy for me too" Chizi replied
"We're getting married" Maria squealed
"Yaaaaaaaaaas" Chizi screamed making people to stare at us. We didn't mind though
"I'm so picking your dress" Maria said excitedly
