Sadly Married

Chapter 1

I could not believe my cute small eyes when a well-built, handsome man came out of a car. “Hi Janna, I want you to meet my boyfriend Luke” My sister Ann, introduced him, upon dragging me outside the gate with excitement. My sister was acting weird though. I was short of words over his sexiness, and lost in words at the sight of the man standing right in front of me, I felt butterflies in my stomach at that very moment. While extending his hand towards me for a hand shake, “Hi” I couldn’t keep my eyes off his cute lips and nicely shaped eyebrows I lurched back to reality and hastily placed my cold hands in his large warm hands, breathlessly, after about more seconds of staring, “I’m Janna” I replied, His strong handshake sent tingles up my spine and through my body. ‘’Ann, you have a pretty sister. His smile and laughter was music to my ears. “Yea” I smiled sparingly and both my cheeks warm one. “What are you trying to tell me now, that I am not pretty” my sister asked jealously, “oh common! Babe that is not what I am trying to say, in fact, you are the most beautiful” He said while giving my sister a kiss, I felt a bit jealous. I am Janna, and my sister is Ann, I love my sister so much because she is the only sibling I have. Our mother gave birth to just the two of us, but we never saw her because she died giving birth to us. How long have you been together? I asked my sister while we walked into the house. Luke turned to me and I averted my gaze. My heart beats so fast anytime I look at him.” Let’s say almost five months” I just nodded my head and went inside, still wondering why she has been with him while this while and never brought him home. We our father sitting on the one sitter sofa, his eyes were cold when he looked at me. I bowed my head and stopped walking. “What’s wrong? Ann asked, “I think I should just leave, daddy might get angry” “No, please do not leave stay here with me” my sister begged. Daddy stood up, as Luke approached him. Luke Chancer! “I thought you were not going” Luke gave his enchanting smile while shaking my dad’s hand, “Hello Sir!

We sat down and the maid brought snacks into the living room. “Any special reason why you visited at this hour? It is past dinner time” Luke, cleared his throat while holding my sister’s hand and rubbing it. “Sir, I want to marry your daughter, Ann. .i looked at them in disbelieve. I think my dad expected this announcement because he doesn’t look surprised at all. But I could see anxiety all over Ann, she is my sister and I can see all is not too well. “You both know each other for only a few months, and you want to get married, isn’t it too early, why the haste? I asked. “Dad, glanced at me with unpleasant eyes, his expression was not pleasing. “You are not involved in this conversation, nobody invited you into this and you are not the one to decide, so leave! But dad….. “I said leave right now! I got up and headed to our poolside. I removed my sandals and dipped my legs into the water. I don’t know how long I have been mesmerized by the absence, I just felt that someone was beside me. Ann also dipped her feet in the water and sighed. “I’m going to get married, Janna. “What? Wait, you accepted him? Someone you dated for only few months? With her feet partly playing with the water, she replied, “we need him, Janna. “we need him? What do you mean by that? “Dad lost the gamble and got into big debt. We are going to sink if I do not marry him” I looked away “Ann, he is your boyfriend and I’m sure you love each other; I think everything will be fine” She smiled softly. “Sometimes I think I would rather be you. I want to be invisible too, you don’t know how it feels to be treated like air, and it is very hard Ann, why did mama die because of me? I questioned with tears in my eyes. I was the youngest, and our mama gave birth to me prematurely, she had complications and was out of breathe and later died. “it is not your fault Janna, other people’s brains are just narrow and one day, dad will realize that he is lucky to have a daughter like you, so be happy ok? Ann said softly as she looked at the water. “Congratulations, you are going to be a bride! “Yea, we both laughed. “I know someday, I am going to be as free as a bird” I did not understand what she meant by that and I never asked her. When Luke was leaving, I watched his car until I could no longer see it, I was so much into this man.

A few days passed and Ann was too busy, preparing for her wedding. We hardly see each other because of the work we both do. While I do a lot of clothing designs because my customer need to see that tomorrow. I drank a lot of coffee just to keep me from falling asleep, the deadline was quite close and I still lacked the best design. I was sitting in front of my table and my eyes were already closing when my door opened, I looked and it was Ann, she entered. I was very drowsy, I looked at, my watch and it was 5 am and I was still not asleep. “Hi, why are you still awake?” I yawned, she gave me a gaze, “because I want you to sign something” I looked at the folder she was holding. “What is it? “I want to make you a partner in the new business I’m going to build, just sign here. Alright give it to me” I felt dizzy upon touching the folder. “Sign that and go to sleep” “wait, let me read it first, I was about to read, but she immediately stopped me. “Don’t read, just sign it, I won’t lie to you, you are my sister” she says. I nodded widely, smiled at her and picked up my pen and signed it. After which I moved slowly to my bed and laid on it, few minutes later, I was fast asleep.
