A TRAGIC AFFAIRA Poem by Akinlolu
It was their first date.
He apologized for coming late. They ordered for pizza and washed it down with bottles of chapman while listening to the best of Tracy Chapman. On their second date, he french kissed her after declaring his non interest in the state of her finance. She was ecstatic; she swooned like a woman in a trance. The ring was 24 carats gold and she joyful said yes like she was 16 years old. From the get go, her family opposed the union. They warned her he was an onion, colourful on the outside trouble on the inside. She wept and pushed until she had her way. Her dad refused to be there on the wedding day. They never spoke again until six months later. A bolt from the blues hurled through a strange caller. He held the phone and tried to process the message. "Be aware that your daughter is a hostage." "45 million dollars and no police involvement." He compiled without any attempt at incitement. Made the deposit in the designated wood surrounded by crags but they still gave his daughter back in a body bag. Three months later and after a lot investigation. The culprits were nabbed in a strange nation. They sang like canaries and fingered the groom. Named him the mastermind behind her doom. He wasn't in love, just after her dad's wealth. He planned her death through all the months he drank to her health. Image Credit: Pexel. © 2023 AkinloluReviews
