“Uncle,

“No.
You don’t understand young lady. you should be
grateful
to God, for being alive. Not only alive, you can now
walk
again with your legs. will you kill yourself because of

“I love him” Ella responded.
“fine. go on and kill yourself then” doctor mike said angrily
and

picture
of Daniel and Cynthia getting married tomorrow.

“My
dear girl. when love ends, life continues” doctor

wedding attires.
“Do anybody here have any reason why this people
should

Just then,
Ella walked into the church premesis. She went and
hide
herself between the congregations.
“Now.
the bride groom can fix the ring on the brides finger” the
pastor
said and Daniel fixed the ring on Cynthia’s finger.
“The bride. you will repeat after me”

drop
it on the ground with tears.
“Now.
the bride can fix the ring on the groom finger” Just as
Cynthia
was about fixing the ring on Daniel’s finger, Daniel
saw
Ella from afar and withdraw his hands. He was shocked
and
the same time, dumbfounded. Mrs. Emily was also
shocked
to see Ella. she removed her glasses to take a good
look
again. Ella stood up and started running away with tears.
“Ella.
Ella” Daniel called running after Her. Cynthia fainted as
one
could see Mr. Okafor rushing to his daughter. The
congregations
were murmuring in confusion as noise filled the air.
“Daniel!
come back here” Mrs. Emily shouted running after
Daniel
likewise Richard. Daniel’s best friend.
