MARRIED TO A SISTER
The story features a young, petite, naïve Kenyan girl, nicknamed Antigone, who broke through the social expectations to marry Klein despite the implications of cultural defiance. Klein is the son of Dr. Andrew, who sneaked out of wedlock dating Silvia, a relationship which did not last long but resulted in Klein's pregnancy. Silvia's troubles and challenges would not allow her to raise the child, hence dumping little Klein at the police gates. Later Silvia landed in the hands of the Duke, who gave her a shoulder to lean on after his wife died. Having lived in desperation after losing her love, Silvia and Duke married and bore Antigone Eva. This was barely two years after Klein. In love and great care, Duke and Silvia raised Antigone among the other two children that God blessed them with. By then, Klein was nurtured by Uncle T, a brother to Dr. Andrew and a close friend to Duke. However, Uncle T was unaware of Klein being Silvia's or Dr. Andrews's son.
Uncle T was a senior bachelor who literally applied the aspect of enjoying life while young so that at his 40, he was yet to be married. To counter loneliness, Uncle T had gone to a children's home and requested to adopt a son. That is how Klein landed in the hands of Uncle T since the police had handed him over to the children's home a year earlier. However, one could not enjoy life forever, at some point; Uncle T decided to visit upcountry, where and met Eva. The young cute innocent soul was unaware of the meaning of the gaze Uncle T gave her at the shopping center. However, being friends with Duke, Uncle T visited Duke before he returned to the urban, only to find Eva and realize that Eva was Duke's daughter. Following Uncle T's long friendship and well-being, Eva was compelled to give a hand in marriage to Uncle T, who would later sponsor her education.
Throughout her life, Eva aspired to school at urban colleges. Therefore, once done with high school, he requested to join Nairobi University, a request that was quickly granted following her superb performance. Due to Duke's financial constraints, Eva was to be hosted by Uncle T. Uncle T exploited the opportunity to win Eva by spending a lot to see her well-being. Eva's beauty was nothing that Klein would ignore. However, out of fear of his father, Klein struggled for three years to keep off Eva, who, as days went by, was infatuated with Klein. The attraction was intense so that in the absence of Uncle T, Eva, and Klein would have pleasant times together.
Betrothing in Eva's culture was real. After college completion, Eva was to be married to Uncle T. Eva's attraction to Klein would soon be cut off. "I can't fathom such!" Klein exclaimed on reading Eva and Duke's wedding invitation card. "Is it true?" On an early morning, Klein asked Eva, who seemed unaware of what Klein spoke about. After a discussion, Klein would not reach Eva as the deal had been sealed between the parents. However, moments of enjoying and playing adult games became more intense in instances when Duke left for work and business trips.
One early morning, Eva arose vomiting and with mood swings which persisted until she had to visit a clinic in the company of Duke. Shocked by the results, Duke screamed in pain along the clinic corridors heading to the gate. "What happened?" This was the beginning point of Klein's reunion with pregnant Eva. However, how would this happen? This question rang in Duke's mind as the day they had seen each other with Eva would not have resulted in pregnancy at such a time. The wedding would hence be postponed to allow Eva to give birth. After birth, the unsatisfied Duke called for a DNA test which worsened the case as it proved that he was not the father to the newborn. Compelled by rejection, Eva would open up that Klein was the father. Unexpectedly, the match between Eva and Klein's DNA prompted a series of DNA investigations by the parents, which revealed Klein and Eva were brothers and sisters. While their wedding would not be ratified following the cultural impediments, the two got married.
