"Hey,lets get married" "what??" A wide eyed female replied. she was shocked and so was everyone else in the restaurant "Calm down Lisa. look,this could be the opportunity we have always wanted,we could get that apartment we both dream about." "Don't try to convince me Jason because this is plain stupid" "Listen to me,its all part of the process, we could get that loan once we get married and boom a house.we can build from there Lisa trust me" He knew he was getting to her,he knew her well.He just needed to make her understand.He personally didn't find anything wrong with getting married to her,they both knew eachother well for 10 years. He knew this could be a step to getting that accomplishment they felt was missing. "Look Jason this feels weird,imagine getting married just to purchase a house." "The most important thing is getting a marriage certificate,just us i promise. I can pull some strings for that, we can even get it tomorrow,you see its that feasible. please Lisa ” "Okay fine, do what you want i have nothing to loose anyway" "Yes Lisa, i promise you won't regret this" Well she infact had nothing to loose. she was money minded but she never made it a point to blame herself.It wasn't her fault she had no one.She hated the hostel she lived in,it practically smelled like dusty old files and lacked enough room for ventilation.She always wondered what happened to all the colours in her life. If getting married to her best friend would get her a house and her own personal space then she was going to jump on that train. Jason Adam the only child of his ridiculous parents.His mother a lousy woman who at least owned her profession of being an escort never had enough time for anything else aside the men she was charged to please and the regular visits to the salon.She always said her beauty was aesthetic and needed to be handled with outmost care and diligence. Ridiculous. she made it a point to visualise to his hearing how perfect her life would have been if she had not known his useless father and if he was not never conceived. His father was a drunkard who hardly came home, which was a good thing because whenever he did come home it was headed towards a big fight.His mother was never one to keep still when his father hit her which always resulted to a messy fight. After the police had intervened during one of their fight sessions,he was shipped off to an orphanage for a better environment.He clearly remembered his mother packing his bags in a haste. Life at the orphanage was not as hellish as he had expected but certainly not all roses.He was too quiet for an eleven year old boy.He seldom had anything to say to anyone and always kept to himself.It was during his second year at the orphanage that he got aquinted with Lisa;yappy Lisa. The girl seemed to derive some type of pleasure in poking him which irritated him like never before,but he just couldn't shake her off.Their friendship finally budded and gave rise to two adults who did whatever they could to protect each other He wondered why he felt so calm when he proposed the contractual marriage,it might be because they were both comfortable with each other. He wondered why he was never able to know anything about her life before the orphanage.she would always go cold and freeze up whenever she was asked,so he thought it was best to not bring it up.And he tried as much as he could to curb his curiosity. He looked up at the bright and clear sky and thought it looked so much like his bright future ahead.He had visions and plans for his life and finally they were falling into place.He smiled at himself for a job well done.The marriage was going to be the first step to his fulfilment.He got more excited that his dream of his was going to be fulfilled in less than 24hrs . He tucked on his shirt and mentally patted his back to prepare himself for the days ahead. And with a certain destination in mind he headed out on to the scorching sun. They was a lot of work to be done.
