CHAPTER 60

6 Months later
Marty watched Diana walk into the waiting lobby, she looked different, must be the haircut but better than expected, Diana looked alive, they hugged each other and exchange pleasantries before heading to the car

Diana studied Marty as she drived alot has happened in the last couple of months. They had lost touch and regain their friendship somehow, for what its worth, she was so glad she didn’t lose such an amazing friend

When Marty called about a month ago that she is getting married and Philip finally proposed, it was the most wonderful news she had heard in a long time and she had been genuinely happy and then when Marty asked her to be her chief bride’s maid, she was short of words but her happiness was all she could think of as she gladly said yes

After all that happened, Marty still considers her as her best friend, even though she didn’t deserve it, she wished she had done things differently and because Marty is has been a blessing to her

“When did you learn how to drive”
Marty giggled
” Philip talked me into taking weekend classes a while ago and sometimes he’d help me himself”

“That’s wonderful,”

“I know right…. Nice haircut Didi. You look very beautiful”

“Thanks, Bettys handwork”
After her closure with Jimi, she decided to go back home and just tried to rebuild her life. Lagos obviously wasn’t much of an option for her so she went back to Benin and got a job as a restaurant manager

“Everything suits you. You are a natural beauty”

“Thank you but am so so happy for you. ”

“Thanks babe, You know I wouldn’t have this if it wasn’t for you*

“I didn’t do anything, I only broke your trust and pushed you aside”

“Hey… Don’t say that, I’ll admit I was deeply hurt but then I remembered how we met in school. You were that beautiful girl that was always on her own, everybody wanted to be your friend but you just weren’t open for that. You just restrict yourself from everyone else”

“I didn’t realize I was that popular”

“More than just popular. You remember Joseph Osagie, the one that had a huge crush on you”

“Yeah I remember him” she chuckled

“He sent me a friend request on Facebook, he asked after you, he even asked for your number”

“I hope he’s living fine”

“I guess so, I mean he’s working with Chevron. You know the guy has always been a brainy”

“Yeah I’m glad he’s doing.. Ok”

“You never kept in touch with any of our friends from Novena”

“That’s because I only had one friend and she’s sitting next to me”

Marty smiled
“I know you miss her, she misses you too”

“I can’t wait to see her infact am dying to see her”

You are going to see her, if you want I could call Jimi to drop her over… Am sure he wouldn’t mind”

“No that won’t be necessary”

“Didi don’t tell me you’re still avoiding this guy and holding a grudge, it been six months. He keeps reminding me that if you ever want to see her or spend time with her, he will always be willing to let you have that”

Diana let a tear drop
“Do you think I was being selfish for leaving her like that”

“No sweetheart, not selfish at all but you better come up with something reasonable to convince her for leaving her, coz Abby is my little bride maid and you will be seeing her real soon”
Diana looked through the window

“My little princess”

“She’s not so little anymore…. So when is momsy coming”

“A day before the wedding, she’ll be coming with Betty”

“Oh Betty how is she”

“Heavily and easily irritated, every time she keeps asking me if Dorcas felt this way when she was pregnant…. The truth is I don’t really know how it feels to be pregnant but she expects me to give her some kind of answer I don’t have”

“Don’t worry, You will have your own fair share of the cake, we will all have it”

THE WEDDING DAY

All through the morning they had been busy getting ready for the church service which starts by eight

There is so much to do, and a little time to get it done, Marty was having her make over right now with the rest of the train

Marty’s careless cousin had left the bride’s purse behind so Diana had to rush back home to get it

As she was rushing into the hotel to their room she heard a voice that ki lled her tracks immediately

She turned and there she was standing by a lady, wearing a gorgeous white baby ball gown, with her hair in a beautiful pony tail, her little angel, her princess Abigail Osawema

In a twinkle of an eye, Abby was running towards her, she bent to catch her in a big hug as tears roll down her cheeks, thank God she has not done her makeup, Marty would have skinned her alive

After hugging her like her life depends on it, Diana pulled back slowly, it felt like forever since she’d last seen her, she studied her properly, she was definitely taller in those shoes, and her face fuller and beautiful above all she looked healthy and happy

The lady Abby was with moved closer to them and Diana stood up

“Look at my beautiful princess Abby”

“Abby has been dying to see you she really misses you” Simi smiled at them
“I hope we are still on time with the bride”

“Yes she’s upstairs”

“So I guess I’ll see you at the wedding, I know she’s in safe hands”

“Thank you….”

“Am Simisola, Jimi’s younger sister”

“Am Diana”

“Oh I know who you are, Abby’s mother. Have heard alot about you” Diana smiled
“Okay Bye Abby. See you in church”

“Bye Aunty Simi”

She waved and walked out of the hotel

“Mommy where have you been”

“Oh Abby, I went on a trip”

“Another trip….To where”

“Somewhere not so far”

“Why didn’t you take me with you”

“Because your daddy had to take care of you, am sure you had fun with daddy”
Abby nodded
” lots of fun” she grinned

“Oh tell me all about it don’t leave any detail out ”
Diana carried Abby in her arms as they head to the room
