Phillip didn’t need his father’s permission to continue what he had started. This was the sweetest moment of his life and he wouldn’t trade it for anything.

‘I am sorry for everything and the way I acted last night. I am sorry I got drunk, will you forgive me?’ He searched her eyes.

Her heart raged like a wild sea, her eyes hunted his’ for answers. Her heart bubbled with joy by this new found love. It had been written from the beginning that Phillip was the man for her.

‘Chalya told me you were discouraged that night. She told me it was related to your mother. I am sorry about that.’ She smiled.

Phillip’s heart skipped a bit. He loved Indigo and wanted to be honest with her, but it would take place some other day. For now, they had to celebrate the beginning of something that would bloom into a beautiful rose.

‘I forgive you.’ Indigo murmured, before running a tongue over her lips.

‘I love you.’ He whispered into her ears, without giving her time to declare her affection for him, Phillip lowered his face unto hers and brushed his lips past her plump lips.
It was sealed. It was finished. This was love.
‘Wow, Facebook is going to love this!!!’ Chalya didn’t waste time pulling out her phone for some cool pictures.

The three men watching their children display a lovely and innocent romance all broke into a snigger; quietly reminiscing their younger days when they had been in love too.

‘I want my son to marry your daughter, she is a very good girl.’ Mr. Hajjo whispered to Nkosi who watched the two with delight.

He couldn’t agree less. He loved Phillip for Indigo. He was responsible and good enough for any woman. Besides, they had a little agreement. Phillip had asked to be shot, should he fail to keep to his promise of loving Indigo forever and he intended to keep to those words.

‘Same here,’ Nkosi replied with an impish smile on his face.

All of a sudden, a sharp voice silenced the vociferous chatter in the room.

‘What is going on in my house?!’ Papa had been sleeping, but he had a dream of his Indigo getting married to a man. Lo and Behold! She was passionately clinging to a handsome looking man who was kissing her like his life depended on it.

But the lovers were too engrossed in their beautiful romance to notice the old man had awoken.

A rush of excitement, contentment and relief washed over Indigo as she surrendered herself completely in his arms. Being in love was a special kind of joy on its own, and she had found it.

Philip had always felt empty since his mother died, but he found completion with Indigo in his life. They will always be together, and nothing in this world or the next would stand against their promise to each other.

EPILOGUE
SIX MONTHS LATER…
Tears rolled from her eyes as she stared at the television screen. Her lips shook as she dragged the smoke from the cig. She had never felt this miserable in her entire life. Everyone had deserted her, and she was left alone to taste the sting of betrayal.

‘fu-Ckers,’ She quenched the fire in the cigarette and pulled a bottle of brandy closer.
Moremi had lost everything. She felt so ashamed of herself and used by Usman, who had succeeded in painting her black before Phillip while redeeming his own self.

Days after her encounter with Phillip, she had decided to pay Usman a visit so she could tell him new ways to get the Hajjo land for them, but she had met a shocker.

From the entrance, she had known things weren’t right and she should have turned back, but she refused.

Moremi wasn’t easily deterred when her mind was fixed on something, and this was the reason she had not let Phillip go, even after reading the signs that he was no longer interested in her.

She had met Usman, Nkosi, Phillip, Mr., Hajjo, Indigo and her grandfather as well as Chalya all sitting around a huge table, laughing and drinking.

She felt like an outcast when their eyes had turned on her, how had this union come to be? How had she been left out in the cold to rot?

Her mouth had felt so dry and her limbs had become numb. It was obvious that the Hajjo family was one now, and she a total stranger. She was no fool, in that moment she knew Usman had betrayed her.

‘I will never forgive him.’ She pushed the bottle aside and focused on the TV screen.
Today was Phillip’s big day, and he was getting married to Indigo Hassan, the housekeeper she had once fired.

He wore a milky white Tuxedo on Italian shoes while his bride wore the finest wedding gown Moremi had ever seen.

Indigo resembled a pristine creature, covered in a white sequin dress with beads dropping from the helm of the gown. Surely, the sky had parted and this pretty one had been sent down just for him.

A tear rolled down Moremi’s face as she realized she was the one that lost Phillip. She had the chance to mend things with him in the past, but her pride and her stubbornness wouldn’t let her.

Slowly, she dragged herself from the chair towards her bed, where she would have some rest. One thing was for sure, she had to relocate and start a new life someplace where no one knew her.

But she would live this new life according to the rules she had set for herself; and these rules were guided by the lessons she had learned.

“You may kiss the bride.” The honeyed voice of the female Pastor that presided over the wedding drifted past her ears. This was followed by a rumble of laughter and a thunder of claps.

She fell asleep after, while the new couple relished their unending kiss.

The end.
