Sadly Married

Chapter 2

Days, after, I travelled to deliver the crafts I made. I schedule my flight on the day my sister is getting married because that is the only day available for me, after all it is peak season this December. When I entered the airport, some passengers were very upset because the flight had delayed. I panicked because my sister’s wedding ceremony would be starting in few hours. I called Ann, to tell her about my situation.

“I am truly sorry, Ann, I cannot come for your wedding” I said with tears in my eyes. I really did not want to miss her wedding but there were circumstances beyond my control. “What?! “I am really sorry about that Ann, but my flight will be delayed” I have been walking around here looking for solution not to miss your wedding but there is no solution. “You mean you won’t even make it for the reception?” “I bit my lips, “yes so sorry about that” “No, Janna, I am the one who should be sorry” while saying this, her voice was trembling. “What do you mean, did something happen? “Oh nothing, everything will be fine, stay safe” “wait!” “Bye Janna”, she didn’t even wait for me to say anything, I called back severally but she didn’t pick, after the wedding day, I travelled back to where I was. I paid for the taxi and got down at my destination. I walked towards the house, opened the door and sighed when I saw my dad and Luke sitting in the living room. My face lit up, and I thought to myself, if Luke is still here, then it means my sister is in the house too, because they both got married and should be living together. “Where is Ann?! Dad questioned quickly and I was in real shock when he threw the flower vase at me, and I had to dodge it quickly. I almost screamed in shock, I could not believe whatever was happening. “What is happening dad, what have I done wrong?! You are acting like you don’t know, where is your sister” I looked at Luke, this is the first time he had looked at me and was so furious. “I don’t know, I was so confused and didn’t know what is happening, and was still confused. Dad, walked to me and touched my hair, I cried bitterly upon seeing the anger in his eyes. “What did you tell her?! He pulled me closer to Luke, I was still wincing at the pain, I felt. Dad released me and pushed me to where Luke was sitting. I looked at him while sitting next to him. He looked as though he had been crying for long. “Don’t you know where my sister is?” She is your wife! “No, she is not my wife” “how?! Are you kidding me?! He showed me a paper, which was supposed to be their marriage certificate. I became more surprised, when I saw my name written on it and my signature on it. “Tell me Janna, where is your sister, and why is your name on it? And why have you signed? What does this mean?” he queried me while holding my hand, as though to convince me to tell him the truth, but I didn’t know anything and was even more confused at what was happening. “I do not know where she is!” why is everyone mad at me? “I am also surprised as to why my name is on the marriage certificate” “don’t you dare tell me bullshit!” he annoyingly said. “Come with me and see for yourself what I am talking about”. I followed him and we went somewhere and checked my signature. I found out it was my signature. “Janna, tell me, what’s the results? I was devastated to hear Luke’s authoritative voice. I bent down and straightened up my seat. Facing us was a man who checked my signature and a lawyer. “This is authentic, Miss, based on the strokes of your signature, the one on the marriage certificate, and what we have here are identical” said the Professional who checked my signature. “But how?! But can’t a marriage be annulled? I questioned. “Annulment”. “The Attorney said we were invited as well. I looked at Luke, and I could see the anger in his eyes, he looked so furious. I suddenly remembered my sister came to my room, the night I was making my craft, and I she asked me to sign some document. Was that the marriage certificate I signed unknowingly? Luke was now looking furious than ever. “I have to get married to get my father’s inheritance for me! I did get married but not to the woman I love” I was hurt by what he said. “Let us have an annulment” I said, that is not possible yet don’t you get it? According to the Law, you cannot file an annulment one day after getting married” The Lawyer took a deep breath and asked “Mr. Chancer, don’t you want to get your inheritance? Why don’t you allow yourself to suffer a little first? “You can file for annulment after you have gotten your inheritance. “Damn it!” he stood up angrily and left the conference room. I was surprised at the loud closing of the door. I couldn’t control my tears. I had always felt unwanted but this is making me feel that way the more.
