CAN’T HOLD MY TEARS SEASON 2
EPISODE 26 (FINALE)
“Kelvin” a high pitched woman’s voice pierced the tension between them and Amara looked up to see a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards Kelvin. Kelvin straightened to his full height as the woman got to his side and poked playfully at his side. “I told you to wait for me, how could you leave me behind?”
He smiled at her. “I am sorry baby”
Baby? Baby? Amara saw red as she glared at the two of them. What was going on? Fury and uncontrollable jealousy ate at her as she glared at the pair before her. Could this be Kelvin’s girlfriend? She almost expired at the thought. She had to get out of there fast before she embarrass herself by crying at their feet. They were beginning to draw stares in the eatery. Was it a coincidence that every time she was in this eatery with Kelvin, she always managed to draw people’s attention?
“Aunty Tricia” Sam squeaked and jumped on the lady, who grabbed him fondly. Oh great! So Kelvin has introduced my son to his woman! Oh perfect. Amara’s blood boiled hot. All thoughts of apologizing to Kelvin was forgotten as she snatched Sam from the ‘Aunty Tricia’s hands.
“Let’s go Sam” she said instantly.
“But I want to stay with daddy” Sam complained.
“He has a guest” she said firmly and started to move when the lady’s giggling voice halted her.
Tricia looked up at Kelvin. “I think she is jealous”
Kelvin was staring at Amara with an unreadable expression on his face, but an amused expression crossed his face at Tricia’s comment. “It seems so”
Amara’s fury spiralled beyond control and she bit her tongue to stop herself from causing a scene, more than enough people were staring already. “Let’s go Sam” she almost dragged Sam along in her rage. She blinked away the bitter tears that clung to her eyes. As she got to the door, she pried it open but the door didn’t budge. She pulled at it again but the door remained glued to its spot. She whirled around to yell at someone, anyone, as long as the door was opened. What her eyes collided with froze her to the spot.
“Amara Peters, will you marry me?”
Amara’s eyes were so large, they engulfed her entire face. She couldn’t see clearly as tears blurred her gaze. She wiped at her eyes vigorously until she could see clearly.
Kelvin’s heart hammered against his chest as he knelt down at the middle of the large eatery, waiting for Amara’s response. What if she says no? Oh no! He mentally shook his head. He couldn’t negatively now. He swallowed hard as the hand holding the ring box shook nervously.
“Marry you?” She croaked out, grasping the handle of the door behind her.
Alarm rang in Kelvin’s head. Mr Sinja had encouraged him to take this step. Could he have been mistaken to assume that Amara loved him. It had taken days to summon this courage, but now, as Kelvin watched Amara, he had the great fear that the would be turned down. “I love you Amara, with the whole of my being” he said, his heart pounding. He looked at the small crowd in the eatery and yelled. “I love Amara Peters” his voice echoed and he watched Amara wipe at her eyes over and over again. His eyes burned into hers intensely. “I want to spend the rest of my days with you Ara, loving you and our son and every other child that comes along. Please marry me Ara”
“Oh Kelvin…” Amara cried and ran to him, going to her knees and hugging him tightly. Kelvin clutched her to him tightly, inhaling her essence. “I thought you wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me Kelvin” she murmured, crying against him. “Oh Kelvin…” she moaned as her tears racked through her. “I love you Kelvin. I love you so much”
Kelvin pulled back slightly, searching out her mouth until he found it. He kissed her deeply, running his fingers through the silky mane of her hair. Pulling back forcefully, he stared intently into her eyes. “Is that yes?” He whispered against her lips.
A bright smile slid to her tears stricken face. “It’s a yes” she whispered, then, looking at the crowd of expectant spectators, she screamed. “Yes, I will marry you Kelvin Johnson”
Loud shouts and applause greeted the proclamation as Kelvin slipped the dazzling diamond ring onto her finger and kissed her finger before kissing her lingeringly.
Tricia cleared her throat and Kelvin and Amara finally stood up. “Careful lovebirds, we have children here.” Then, she stretched her hand to Amara. “I am Tricia Johnson Babs, Kelvin’s sister” she declared with a grin. “I am not his girlfriend, so you don’t have to worry”
Amara felt an embarrassed flush creep up her cheeks. “I am sorry” then she frowned. “Babs?” She turned to Kelvin. “Babs? That is the surname of the founder of Bracket right?”
Kelvin smiled. “That is Max, my cousin”
Amara gaped at him. So that is why Maxwell had looked familiar!
“Yaaaay!” Sam screamed happily. “My mummy is marrying my daddy”
Tricia lifted him to her arms. “That is so right!” She faced the couple. “When is the wedding?”
********************
Kelvin stood all grins at the altar with the most ravishing bride in the continent. He couldn’t wait to whisk her away from the crowd and have her all to himself. The happiness in him couldn’t be weighed by any scale. He smiled at Amara, with his eyes shinning with love and happiness. “I love you” he mouthed and she grinned.
Maxwell stood behind Kelvin, smiling at the couple in front of him. He still couldn’t believe he was exceedingly happy as the best man, but he was. There was a time he had sworn that he would do anything to make Amara his, but now, instead of being angry that he was the best man in Amara’s wedding, he was exceedingly happy. He had never seen his cousin so happy in his life. He on the other hand, felt another type of happiness. He turned to stare at Tina, who was seated with Tola and his heart soared. He and Kelvin had gathered money to fly Tina out of the country where she had undergone the Kidney transplant. Now, she was recovering fast from the operation and Max knew he would do anything to capture her heart as quickly as she had captured his. Besides, who can resist Max’s charms? He grinned to himself.
Amara had never felt more blessed. Now her life felt complete. Amara looked at the crowd and saw her two mothers, dressed in the same native attire and smiled. Forgiveness pays! She had come to love and forgive Mrs Bello. Only pain can come from carrying anger in your heart and Amara had learnt that the hard way. Tina and Tola winked at her and she smiled happily.
“You look ravishing boss” Tega said to Amara and Amara smiled.
“Thank you Tega” she said to her Maid of Honour.
“You can go on a full one month honeymoon boss, Ara P is safe with your P.A” Tega said proudly.
Amara grinned. She had officially made Tega her assistant and it was an excellent choice. “I am sure of that”
Kelvin enclosed his arms around his newly wedded wife from behind and Tega literarily vanished as Amara turned to her husband with a bright dazzling smile. Kelvin rained k!sses on her face and she giggled. “What do you say we escape from this place?” He asked distractedly as he k!ssed her neck.
Amara ran her fingers through his hair. “It sounds like a good plan” she murmured.
He lifted his bright eyes to hers. “Aren’t you curious about where we spend our honeymoon Mrs Johnson?” He raised his brow.
Amara linked her arms around his neck. “I would go anywhere, as long as I am with you Mr Johnson”
Kelvin lowered his head and kissed her hungrily and she returned the k!ss with equal fervor as she basked in the happiness that Kelvin had brought into her life. They forgot everything and everyone as they dwelt in a world that belonged to them alone. A world where unlimited sacrifices are made for love.
