Her heart was pierced with a mighty arrow when she learnt that Mabel was flirting with her fiancee.
She trusted the both, but they betrayed her.
Shania had been trying, since she left the lecture room to control the streaming tears but it kept coming.
It pained her so much because Mabel was her best friend, her supposed 'chief brides maid' and she loved Dave, her fiancee so much.
"Why would Mabel do this to me, why? If it were another lady, I can gladly know how to bear this but it chose to be my betrayal of a friend. Oh God, I can't take this" Shania cried.
The heavens seemed to understand her predicament because the cloud was no longer smiling neither was rain, it's guest ready to have mercy on anyone.
Soon, the cloud was seen weeping with Shania, she was trenched in the rain but she didn't care at all; she was bittered.
After that day, she kept it a secret from Mabel and Dave that she knew about their affair.
Was she supposed to let them know how disgusting they're?
Obviously no! Her wedding is already in two weeks and she didn't want to ruin it, herself.
Even though she was afraid getting married to a cheat, it would be better than being disappointed.
……..
Dressed in her white, beautiful, flowing, wedding dress, Shania was seen smiling sheepishly to the hymns.
The choristers were so kind to have ushered in a soul re-touching hymns. She was enjoying the psalms of the hymns, what else could she do? Poor soul.
Everyone was present, the couple's family, friends, relations and even uninvited guests.
It was time to exchange marital vows and rings by the couple.
"I promise to be with you, my love, in sickness and in health. In poverty and riches, in the rain and the sun, I will forever love you. I do" her fiancee, Dave was seen saying, and as he made attempt to slide the ring into Shania's finger, she withdrew her hand.
Moving down from the altar, she went straight to Mabel, grabbed her arms and dragged her to meet Dave.
"Now go on, put the ring on her finger, isn't she the one? Go on and marry her!" with the last words dropping down, Shania broke into an uncontrollable tears.
Everyone was confused. Was she in her right senses?
"Baby, what are you doing. What is that?" Dave asked, feeling humiliated.
"Don't give me that 'I don't know anything' look, you are wicked Dave. After everything we shared together, you chose to be like this"
"Shanny, what's wrong? Please stop crying and tell me what……" Mabel was saying but was shut by her friend.
"Get your stinky hands off me, you betrayal. I thought you were my friend but I didn't get to find out the devil I was mingling with until now" Shania abused
"Oh! I now see why you are always against me resolving issues with Dave each time we quarell. You wanted him to yourself, right. You can now have him" Shania was crying.
"I will never forgive you for this single act of yours, Marbel. As for you Dave, you don't deserve me nor my love. I just wasted my time with you, ingrate" she said and immediately, she turned to address the congregation.
"Mom, dad and everyone here, I am sorry for doing it this way. That is the only thing I could do. I am sorry" without waiting to be stopped, she made for the exit and ran out of the church.
