Immediately as the parents of Jennifer heard about the sudden tragedy that is before their daughter Jennifer, they quickly send for her and her husband James. Who's their son in-law to come for proper clarification and also to look for a way out from the hidden pains their daughter Jennifer has been going through now.
Few days later, Jennifer and her husband James visited her parent. Reaching there the father of Jennifer is not at home but Jennifer mother Mrs Amaka Okoro is at home watching movie when Jennifer and her husband James went in. Mrs Okoro was so happy to see her daughter Jennifer and her husband Mr James. She entertain both of them with soft drink and told them that Jennifer dad will soon join them that he went for elders meeting.
About (3) three hours later Mr Okoro who's Jennifer dad walk into the house and saw his wife, daughter and son in-law watching movies together in the sitting room and exchange greetings with each of them and told them that he will join them soon because he need to take a quick shower in the bathroom.
Mrs Okoro quickly set the dinner table for them to have their lunch before any further discussion may arrive because is already time for lunch. During their lunch Mr Okoro ask his son in-law, how was their journey and hope it was not as stressful as previous time that they came to visit. Moreover he's very happy to see both of them. that the good God that brought them will take them back safely.
Immediately as they finished their lunch, Mr Okoro called his son in-law that he want to have a brief discussion with him but Mr James said he will prefer that Jennifer his wife should be among the discussion that he want to have with his father in law because she need to hear whatever that he will say because the sudden tragedy involved both of them. Mr Okoro asks his son in-law to call his mother in-law and Jennifer his wife for them to join in the discussion.
Mr Okoro ask his son in-law Mr James, that he will like to hear everything that happened regarding the financing of their daughter Jennifer marriage and wedding celebration from him. Moreover to enable him look for a means to resolve the tragedy that's about to happened between the both friends.
However. James told his father in-law that, it's true that it was John who helped him to pay for all the expenses that has to do with the marriage rite and wedding celebration because he didn't have money due to the fact that his salary cannot afford such expenses and they wanted to give their daughter Jennifer out to another man to marry and he cannot bear such horrible pains of seeing Jennifer getting married to another man that's why he approaches John to help him out to pay for all the expense. Although he promise John that he will pay him back after a year but things are very hard for him that's why he wasn't able to pay up the money. However he even went ahead to look for loans but they turn him down. He didn't bother to inform Jennifer about it because she will feel betray but all I did I did for the endless love that I have for Jennifer because I never wanted to lose her to another man not knowing things will turn out this way.
However. My greatest mistake was that I would have discuss the matter with John when he came to visit us before now but I thought that he might not give me a listen ear due to the fact that he think we are living more comfortable than him but he never knew that most of those electronics he saw in our house are being bought in advance from my salaries. John feels betray right now that's why he wanted to take the only thing I ever cherish in this whole world from me as a way of paying me back with evil, not that he has intention for Jennifer since we know each other's as friends.
Mr and Mrs Okoro said they will help him to talk to John his best friend, that he should give them John phone number to enable them invite John to come over to visit them weekend. after much discussion they were about to retire for the night but Jennifer mother insist to speak with her daughter Jennifer alone that it is mother and daughter talk. Moreover both of them can go and sleep that Jennifer will join her husband later. Jennifer and her mother had a serious discussion regarding giving her grandson that she need to carry her grandson before she die. Moreover what's Jennifer take on this tragedy that's before her and husband but Jennifer told her mother that God will put a smile on their face very soon that she believes in God and with God all things are possible. However she's married to James and she didn't care if her husband James and his best friend John has issues. Although she's hurt but in right sense James did everything because of her in other to put a smile on her face and she won't let her husband down no matter what the case may be in the eyes of orders and her mother said that's the right thing to do as a good and God fearing wife. Try and support your husband in all means and God will bless your home. they both went to sleep.
In the morning when Jennifer and her husband John are about to return back to their home. Mr and Mrs Okoro wish them safe journey back home. immediately as Mr Okoro went back into the house he place a call to Mr John who's his son in-law best friend that he will like to have a brief discussion with him during the weekend. However Mr John told him that he's not around now that in (2) two weeks' time he will be around and he will try and come over during on Saturday morning to enable him return back that same day because he have a lot of things that he's doing for now. some weeks later Mr John visited Jennifer parent's Mr and Mrs Okoro. they have a long discussion whereby John narrated everything that happened, How James and Jennifer changed their phone number. depriving him from reaching out to each of them that he manage to get their number from their old school mate and ever since they got married James have never called him for a whole 2 years plus and this is someone that they always call each other's every day.
How can someone just inculcate evil mind over night or did I do anything wrong by helping him to pay for his marriage and wedding expenses that he will treat me in such a way. I even pleaded with him that right now things are very hard for me that he should try and help me with anything he can lay his hands on still he refused to pick my calls after have called him countless time I went ahead to visit him to know why he's not picking my calls still he didn't bother of calling me. who does such to someone he called best friend. Moreover. His evil mind has made me to loose uche the woman whom I wanted to marry. if you are in my position what will you do sir?
Mr and Mrs Okoro where short of words because the matter before them is a technical matter that needed wisdom since their son in-law made a horrible mistake by not picking John call to explain their financial crises to him. after much calmness Mr Okoro said, John my son of a truth you are a good and caring son who stood by his best friend in times of need but life they say is a misery to each of us and we cannot question God why things turn out this way. have heard from James as well and what you just told me and my wife is nothing but truth just as what your best friend James also said to us in the presence of his wife Jennifer our daughter.
Your best friend James is at fault. We took the blame for him and our daughter Jennifer whom we push into marriage in hurry not that they both plan of getting married by that time but as parent's we wanted the best for our daughter but it ended up putting two best friends into dispute with each other's. We as parent knows what it means to lose the woman you love wholeheartedly. Please John my son, Your father and I are best of friends during our childhood days, which you as a young man grow up to meet, just as you and James are best of friends now but what keep us stronger is to help each other's correct his wrong did and not to create more error when any of us make errors. Your best friend is faulty and he's a shadow of himself right now. Please my son help him when you can now, not when you cannot so that you won't end up regretting making more mistakes when you suppose to correct it.
