Foxtales contest week 13: Ola's dilemma

She paced back and forth, she was tensed and she knew she shouldn't be, not after almost all the arrangements had been made, but here she was, still tensed and confused as to whether she should continue with the marriage plans or just come clean to her family that she wasn't ready to settle down with Obinna. Obinna, the handsome 2nd son of the village head, the one who went abroad and came back a licensed medical doctor, the one who almost all the maidens in the village had their eyes set on but he still chose her or rather their family chose them for each other. This marriage was going to cement the relationship between both families (a rather stupid reason for marriage, I should say). She wasn't in love with Obinna and needless to say wasn't ready for marriage just yet but she dare not tell Papa, or he would remind her how young she was and how at her age, she was prone to making mistakes (but they would be her mistakes wouldn't they?) and thus needed her elders to make decisions for her and why decisions like this mattered. So here she was, stuck arguing with her own thoughts,"Olamma aren't You ready?" yelled her older sister Ngozi, "I am coming" she yelled back, She didn't want to regret her decision, but somewhere somehow she knew definitely she would. And so out the door she went, walking into her certainty. U5dstEEVBpyxBRogA14PZByjmimHCQb_1680x8400.jpg
