Roman got home and got busy along with everyone in the yard, he hasn't spoken to Nnena today, but he didn't have time to make a call, he was sent from place to the other, the community was buzzing in the yard, laughter filled the whole place, it was just so nice to watch, Roman had even forgot he was angry at his father for inviting the whole community. around 5 pm, his father called him
"listen get ready drive to the burger park, we will find you there" Randy said
"that far? what's there?" he asked
"your 21st party, the community is leaving now, your party will be held there, your mom is getting ready, you don't want to be late for your party" Randy said, Roman ran to his room and took a bath, he took the clothes he was going to wear for the party and left.
he was so happy when he found everything he ever wanted for a decor there, there wasn't a tent, the tables were just set on an open space, there were poles holding balloons, black and gold with a touch of sweet pink, there's a loan so there was no need for a carpet, then the happy birthday craft hanging above the balloons, it had different lighting, making it colorful and eye catching, there were so many tables, the stage, everything else was set, and the catering team was still busy, so he waited there patiently until they were done, there was fives huge cakes, he loves gym so they made a treadmill cake, then a BMW x6 cake, the crown cake, an award cup cake, then the fith cake wasn't presented but it showed there had to be one, he loved how that made him wonder.
his parents arrived, Kofi and Luke, the other invited kingdoms, it was just a royalty thing, his famous friends came, the media arrived, the best djs the world can offer, he saw Nnenas family but she wasn't there, he was so disappointed.
the theme is black and gold for the guys, then place and purple for the ladies, he since he was the reason everyone gathered here, he was in a black almost leather but not exactly leather pants, he had on a gold blouse, a very fashionable blouse with one long sleeve, the other one short, it was so big with huge buttons, he tucked the blouse in but it still hanged out a bit since it was huge, he had on a purple long cardigan crafted Roman at the back, his black and purple heels ankle boots, he had his hair cut trimmed, he looked very handsome, the crowd cheered when they saw him coming, he danced alone to his table, for the song Kulosa by Oxlade.
his mother stood up and gave her short speech "your father and I didn't know what to write, so we decided to tell you what's coming from our hearts, I remember your first birthday, it was just me, you and your late grandmother, I wondered if you'll ever be able to celebrate your birthdays with your father, it pained me so much knowing the possibility of you growing without him were high, and what made me more sad was that you are the prince, and you'd never live like one, but things turned for the best, you were able to experience the love of both parents, and just like how mom used to say, you make this parenting thing so simple, you're respectful, humble, calm, collected, and you're my son above all, I'm happy to celebrate every birthday with you, every year, because that means you're growing and one day you'll give us grandkids, your father and I are very happy to be here today, we love you so much Roman, prince Roman" she said and went back her chair,
then it was Luke "well your mother said it all, I'd be very very proud the day you tell me you've put the bun in the oven, but I'm more proud now that you were responsible enough not to, at least not yet, we wish you a very happy and peaceful life ahead my son, we love you" Luke said
his friends spoke, then it was his turn
"I wouldn't be here today, I'm most grateful for life itself, and thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me to know I have a fan base, I love you too guys, really I do" he said that and sat back down, they then played love in the brain by Rihanna, he was surprised because he never listen to such songs, the crowd cheered looking the other side, he had to stand to see what they were seeing, there came Nnena, she was in a tight maremaid dress, it had a purple sheer at the end of the gold, the sleeves were also sheer and purple, with a touch of black, she had on her highest heels, as tall as she was, she still wasn't taller than Roman, she had her princess gold crown on, she had a gold prince crown for Roman and a guy pushing something behind her.
she took the Mike and sang don't ever run away from me, by Lira, she sang it so perfectly like it was hers, the guy opened the huge box, it was the fith ring cake, Nnena kneeled down and said
"I know you're probably thinking I'm forward, but honestly I couldn't wait for another year to ask you this, or wait for you to ask me, the feeling is burning me, I've waited for far too long now, the friend zone is not working anymore, Roman, no, prince Roman can you do me the honor of agreeing to be my husband? please marry me?" she asked, the crowd cheered, Roman went to pick her up, and kissed her
"yes I'll marry your crazy self" he said
"he said yes" she shouted, "so this cake is a sample of our ring, this should be the first cake you cut tonight, and here I have your crown, you should always have this on, it's your identity" she said, they hugged, he cut the cake, fed her and he also had a piece, then the rest of the night was fun.
media had already written wedding bells as their headlines. so the following day, Roman's family since they were here, went to the Malawi kingdom to pay Nnenas bride price, they did all the necessary things they needed to to when royalties get married, the seer went with them, they brought her back with them, then at night they took her to the graves for her welcome ceremony, she had to bite a goat's ear and such it's blood out then spit on each and every grave, that took a lot of time, including the coronation, so by the time everything was done, it was Sunday 3 am, they had to give her her princess attire, a married princess attire from yildiz and Randy, luckily Kofi had a new princess dress that she never wore, and she came with it, so they took it and gave it to her, her new crown, and they gave them their wedding rings.
in the morning, around 7 am, the community came to greet their new wife, Roman was now tired but had to hold on until everything was done.
it was at two pm when the crowd finally died down, only close family members were there, so he went to bed, Nnena also went to her different bedroom.
"are you not going back to school, you should be flying back tonight?" yildiz asked Nnena
"no, I've written all my exams, I'm only left with one to qualify graduation, I'll only go there when I'm writing, I'll do my last practical here, besides, I can't leave my man now" she said
"Nnena you and Roman will sleep in separate rooms until fighter notice, please don't even think of sneaking on us" yildiz warned
"we won't, we know the tradition" she said
"okay, I'm glad to hear, so let me show you around, we have a lot of maids here, just shout if you need anything, but don't abuse them" yildiz said, Nnena laughed
"I'll abuse them, I used to be a maid at home, I cooked everyday for that crowd" she joked
after the tour, they went outside, she met all the maids, she saw the cottages and the hut, she then per tradition, swept the whole yard, by the time she was done it was time for dinner, so she went to take a quick shower and joined the whole family, Luke and Kofi were still around, the table was full of laughter.
Roman was just too happy, he smiled to everyone, he was even looking forward to sharing a room with his new wife, and he was also happy that she didn't go back to USA, she sacrificed a lot for him, and he made a promise to himself that he'll never hurt her.
