If that is what you mean then I
will marry you".
"Ok, Peter started making
arrangement for his marriage.
"What? That is good news Ken
said when he heard about peter’s
marriage."
"But what about the others?
I mean the other women, I thought
you have three of them?"
"Yea, the all say no, except this
one."
"Hmmm, that is good news Ken
said , am going to support you in
any way I can, that is if you are
not joking."
"Do I look like am joking, I need
to settle down mann.. am
getting old."
"So you know, but remember
you told me you are not getting
married, the no woman less
trouble stuff."
"Mann.. no woman more trouble,
the more I run away, the more
women trouble I get into, I just need
to settle down, and beside am
going to be a manager soon."
"Yea, you have started talking like
a human being for the first time
since I know you."
"Don’t insult me, I have always
being more of a human being then
you", peter said.
"So when is the wedding day?"
"Two months from now."
"Ok, that is good, I will pay for
the hall, and the MC."
"Thanks man".. Peter thank Ken
and left.
"Now that your friend is getting
married, is he going to married
the three women?" Gina ask ken.
"No just one."
"What about the woman we
gave money what is going to
happen to her?"
"I don’t know, am not Peter".
"Hmmm but you are his best
friend, you know, because
whatever peter wants to do he tells
you first so you know."
"Is true that he tells me
everything but when it comes to
women he keep it to himself" Ken
said not wanting Gina to start
another fight that he cannot
control.
"Do you know the woman call me
and told me she is not going to
let peter off the hook, that she is
going to deal with peter."
"When,?
"yesterday"
"Then what did you say?"
"What else, I only pleaded with
her but she is threatening fire and
brimstone."
"So you should tell your friend
to be careful."
"Ok, I will tell him Ken reply but
didn’t tell peter because he felt it
was not necessary."
The wedding day came but
Peter was nowhere to be found.
"Where the hell is peter Ken ask,
everyone is present but there
is no sign of peter, they waited and
waited, but peter is not showing up.
"Are you sure the other women
is not responsible for peter’s
disappearance?" Gina ask
"No, forget it, maybe he’s on his
way here, ken said trying to console
the wife to be who is already in
the building waiting for peter’s
arrival.
Ken send men to confirm if he
has left the hotel where he and his
best man has stayed. But it was
confirm that they left already.
"Ok, let’s wait for them."
They waited and waited but
no sigh of peter.
"You want to get married right?
And what makes you think you
can get married without me? you
get me pregnant and now you
want to married, am just laughing
at you in china language. If I don’t
get married, no one is getting
married do you hear me?. the
woman said.
"But I can’t married you, you are
too big for me."
"Ohh.. so when you are getting
me pregnant I wasn’t big, is now
that your eyes have seen that am
big. You will rot here, no one will
know where you are."
"She turn to the boys and instruct
them to shot peter dead if he dares
to move an inch.
"Yes iron lady."
"Where could this guy be Ken
keep worrying and calling his
number but it was off. Fear started
creeping in when Ken waited
and didn’t receive a call from any
one asking for ransom.
"Is he dead"? Ken ask but got
no answer.
He called and called his phone
but it was off,.
"Do I contact the police? No, is
not up to 24 hours, so we can't
declare him missing let me wait
a little."
The bride was getting anxious
by the minute while everyone keep
staring at the entrance of the door
to see if peter will walk in any
moment.
There was murmuring everywhere
about what could have happen
to peter.
Gina stayed by the bride to console
her while Ken keep walking up and
down the front of the building
looking at his phone every now
and then.
"Please name your price and
let me go", peter begged.
"Shut your mouth, you think you
can use me and go just like that?"
"But I have paid you millions in
that regard."
"You pay me? it was that friend
of yours who gave me the money
not you, and am not even talking
about money here."
"So what do you want? Peter ask
still tied up with his suit and the
best man was also tied up.
"Ok.. can you let him go?, he is
not part of your problem. Peter
pleaded for his best man release.
"No, he stays here with you, let
him share in your sin, is he not your
friend? He must be the same like
you if not how will he be your
best man."
"Not all my friends are like me?"
"You will only be friends with people
who do and think like you"
the woman said.
"But what about my friend Ken?
Is he like me? no, he is a good man,
honest and good looking, he even
gave you money."
The woman start to reason that
peter might be saying the truth.
"Yea, ken is a good man", but this
best man of his looks more like
peter, he might not be as good
as Ken.
"Please let him go, he didn’t do
anything to you."
"I will leave him because of ken,
not because you ask me to".
Peter breath a sign of relive.
"Untie him", she ordered and they
untie him.
"Run and never look back", they
kick him out of the place.
"But madam what if he goes
and tell the police where we are,
what are we going to do?"
The woman look at peter long
and hard.
"If he goes to the police, then we
kill him, she point at peter.
"Ok, please tell me what you want
and I will do it, do you need money
I will give it to you."
I don’t want money, I want you.
Fine, can you let me go and marry
her today, then we can fix our own
wedding maybe next week or
next month?
Shut up, next week or next month
who are you fooling?
If there is anyone getting married
today, that person could be me,
do you understand.
Yes… yes… yes… peter agreed as
the woman point at gun on his
forehead.
Let’s move him out of here the
woman order.
Ok madam, they move peter’s
location so they police would not
find him in case his friend decided
to report them to the police.
Please let me go, what do you
want to do to me, if you kill me
who will marry you peter say.
The woman turn and gave peter
a slap across the face.
You idiot you told you no man
will marry me? are you the only
man on earth?
That is what am saying, peter said
we are saying the same thing let
me go, some other man will gladly
marry you.
Shut up, you are not the one to tell
me what to do. You cannot use me
and go just like that, you will pay,
you see all this boys, they are
working by keeping you here, you
will pay all of them.
What? Are they my workers? You
hire them you are the one to pay
them, peter said.
You think am joking here right?
you will see.
The best man ran all the way to
the wedding grand breathing
heavily.
Ken saw him and came running
towards him.
What happen where is peter?
Peter has been kidnaped
What? kidnaped how?
One woman kidnaped him, saying
that peter use him and dumb her,
so he is not going to marry
anyone but her.
I said it, I said it ken could only
imagine what peter’s wedding
would be like with all those women
peter always promise to marry.
So where is he now, take me to that
location.
No, we need to go to the police first,
because those guys are armed.
Ok, let’s go. They rush down to
the police station to report the
case.
Where is the location and why
did they kidnaped him? Did he
have money? Is he a rich man or
have oil well? The police keep
asking questions upon question
that don’t even make any sense.
See, officer my friend is been
kidnaped on his wedding day,
we are here for your help to
rescue him from the kidnapers.
You want us to go and rescue
your friend from kidnapers? With
what? How do you know that
your friend is not the kidnaper?
Ken open his mouth wipe with
surprise to what the police are
saying.
