Hanna is now well. She isn't aware Haira was getting married to me yet. She only called to ask why she hasn't seen Haira since the few days she recovered. Well, we would go check on her and let her know we are getting married. We can't hide it forever.
It wasnt easy giving Haira the courage to tell it to Hanna's face that she was getting married to me but somehow, she told her and Hanna really broke down that I thought she was going to run mad again.
"Ambrose I loved you, is thus why you jilted me? To marry Haira?" She fired, eyes red and clouded with tears. She has been moved to a private ward since she recovered so it was only I, Haira and her in the room.
"It was you I love but you weren't taking me serious, when you left your sister showed me love and I had no choice than to take her as mine"
"I didn't leave, you left me!" She threw her pillow at Haira who was standing at the door due to fear.
"Harlot! So this it? You going to Ibadan with us all in the name of starting a music career, Cooking and acting all nice in the face of my suppose mother in law. So this is it? You wanted to take my place? God would punish you and you would never find peace of mind" Hanna fired raising her voice to the maximum.
I have had enough, I wasn't going to let her insult Haira in my face, no way!
"Who's the harlot? After sleeping with Fiks and donatus? Do you know who donatus is to Haira? Let's just interchange, since you get every man you wish for, go get Donatus and let me continue with Haira. She's better and also a virgin. Oh please don't exclaim, am sure you lost your virginity at he age of seven. You wouldn't make her feel like a bad person now. She found love which you stripped her from having. She has been traumatized and bullied by you all the while and now she's happy, happy with that one man that condole your shitty shit. Isn't life funny? Now taste it, have a bite of what you feed people with. We are getting married and that's final, Good day!" Without looking back, I dragged my wife to be behind me as we rushed outside the hospital. Haira cried and cried but that didn't stop our wedding plans.
The day finally came, only thirty people would witness our joining together, Haira's father had promise to come and he did. My mom, her friends and few of my dad's friends joined us. My ex boss was there and surprisingly Hanna. Fiks too was available but Donatus was back to South Africa since the first wedding crashed and I have refused him from attending this one before he would have another thing to say. Haira mom was absent but who cares?
Immediately we were pronounced husband and wife, I couldn't wait to make her a woman. I had all the styles in my head. I would show her our new home as a surprise and carry her to bed. This photographers won't let's breath, seems Haira too was interested in taking pictures so I let her be.
A bus roughly drove into the registry and gun shots were fired in the air.
"heads down!" I heard a thick voice ordered and we all complied. I heard Haira screaming but I wouldn't want to lift my head up. Everyone soon jumped up in confusion when we realise the bus left and took my wife with them.
"Guy call police, call police" Fiks quickly ran up to me. I yank off my suit and loosen my tie a bit. Who wants my wife?
We were still in our confused state when some kind of strange number called me. Knowing fully well my wife has just been kidnapped, I guess it was the kidnappers.
"Fine boy, no worry we no go spoil your day. Come carry your wife for ita K.O junction. We don sample am finish" The masculine voice echoed before the call ended.
"Oh my God, please don't do anything to her, she's a virgin" I found myself saying aloud before i drove out of the registry towards the junction i was told to come.
Reaching there, I met her at the road side, a little crowd had assembled, the idiots were taking pictures instead of helping her. I busted into the crowd and nobody told them to give me space before they did. She has passed out, her hair scattered and some strands on her wet face. I felt for a pulse and I thank God when i felt one. Lifting her up my shoulder like a bag of rice, I noticed blood stain on her butt. Because she had white on, I could see the blood clearly. They took her virginity! Oh would Haira be able to cope with this shame and trauma when she wakes up?
"Somebody help me" I ran into the hospital corridor like a mad person, two nurses provided stretcher and she was rolled in.
Pacing up and down, i waited for a report and the doctor finally showed up. he confirmed my fear that my wife was raped and sustained vaginal injury oh God! Haira had kept her self all the while for this special day. For twenty five good years she cheated nature just to make sure it was only her husband that would ever touch her. I too have read books on the best ways to disvirgn a virgin. All the while I have waited for the right time and on that day we both have waited for, someone else maybe one, maybe two or even multiple raped her.
I have a suspect, Hanna has some explanations to make.
In my furious state, I drove back to the registry, everyone was still there including some police men that the family might have invited.
"Ambrose where's she? Ehn?" Hanna's father quickly blocked my way.
"That young lady is innocent, she was just an innocent virgin and Hanna here sent her men to rape her brutally and take away her pride" I pointed at Hanna in all my speech accompanied by tears.
"Me? I didn't do anything to her, she's my sister and I can't hurt her, I swear I didn't touch her" She protested but I knew she was lieing.
"Young lady, you are under arrest" I watch the police hand cup her and I applauded them.
"Good, torture her well, she would confess" I yawled as I watch the police van take her away with it siren making a hell of noise.
Seeing that my suspect has been apprehend, I told everyone to go back to their various locations as I went back to see Haira.
By the time I got to the clinic, I was allowed to see her. She wailed and howl.
"It doesn't make you less human, I love you like this and always" I reassured her.
"Who did this to me? I don't fight people, who would have me raped on my wedding day?" She lamented in her ever soft voice as usual.
"I suspect Hanna and she's with the police now. Just get well so that you can give your statement" I left her hand in my hand.
"No, she won't do that" she protested trying to sit up but I pinned her into bed.
"I know her better than you do. Just relax and heal please" I kisses her forehead as she sniffed.
The doctor came in and told me she needed a lot of pineapples and rest. He said she would be discharged the next day and warned me not to dare have sex with her for an entire month..
