We drove down to Rina’s house and got ready before moving to the wedding ground.

Nothing was new to me because I have attended different wedding and joined in the bridal train so it feels normal as the wedding went on and on.

I try to cheer, I try to forget my own worries and enjoy the moment.

The time to catch the bouquet came.

I wanted to avoid it but Rina called me and Ella wanted to make sure that I was present as other single young ladies lined up.

As everybody got ready for the flower I was dodging it like a bomb. Rina threw it and I ran off the way and Ella caught it.

She was going to be the next bride, is only going to work out for her because she was already engaged.

Despite how many times I have caught the flower in different wedding I am still very much single with an unserious boyfriend.

After the whole reception was over I went home that night and my Dad was relaxing outside on his car when I came in.

I greeted him and try to walk pass.

“You did not catch flower today or you threw it away before getting home. “Rebecca the flower girl” hope the wedding went well?

I replied him that it did went well before going back inside.

Maybe I will gather up money and rent my own apartment. Since my parents, especially my Dad will not let me rest it will be better to move out and have peace of mind.

I freshened up and came out to make dinner. My Mom wanted to know every detail concerning the wedding.

She even asked if it was true I threw away the bouquet I caught because my Dad concluded that I did.

I told my mom that is was Ella that caught the flower this time not me.

She went on with many talks that I have already heard over and over.

My Mom was a sweet talker, it will be like a lovely advice but she will still spice it with insults.

Maybe I will really have to ask Richard what his plan is. Is time to get serious with my life.

He claims to love me but he was dedicated to work and his other friends and hardly have my time this day.

I will make him do because like my Dad will always say to me “time waits for no one” two years and four months is enough to define where our relationship is heading.

I have had enough of my parents reminder is time to really sit up and grab the bull by its horn.

After work that day, I decided to while away time. Going home immediately after work used to be my usual routine but not again.

Ever since my parents starts with their trouble I began to resent home.

I called Richard to know if we can hang out and talk. His place was far from me I could have gone over.

Richard said he can’t make it down because he was doing some paper work for his Dad and has a place to go with his guys.

I had two single friends like me, Anita was my age mate while JoJo is a year younger.

JoJo is 26 while me and Anita are 27years but we all bond together.

Rina my friend is 25years when she got married, Ella is 26years yet whenever we are all together you can’t differentiate the age.

Maturity and respect for everyone is what we portray.

I called JoJo my follow single girlfriend who is a slay queen and lives on her own. Her house was not too far from my Workin place.

She asked me to come over that she was home.

I went over to JoJo’s place to chill out time.

JoJo was almost same age with me but nobody troubles her over getting married and settling down like my parents does to me.

She is a big girl, she lives in a comfortable apartment, well furnished and also drives a porch car.

She was living her best life with no worries and wasn’t even ready for any commitment.

I envied her freedom and began to wish I was actually in JoJo’s perfect size shoe with no worries.

I stayed for sometime at her place before taking my leave.

Through out the week I did not stop texting and calling

Richard that we need to sit and talk.

“Can’t it wait Becca? I’m so tied up right now. Better still why not tell me on the phone or wait till upper week when I will be done with things over here and I will drive down to see you.

“It can’t wait Rich, is very urgent and we can’t keep postponing it.
