I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time, know that was something that meant something that i left behind.
When i leave this world, I'll leave no regrets,leave something to remember so they won't forget that I WAS HERE...
*****************************
3 DAYS LATER
"Ite missa est" I finally heard Fr Rowland end the mass in Latin.
"Deo Gratias". We all chorused,making the sign of the cross.
Yes i wasn't a Catholic but i had Fr Rowland who taught me some catholic doctrines and my fiancee too, Ebubenna is a catholic. So yes,i know my way around.
Thirty minutes later,i saw Fr Rowland coming out from the church and i went to meet him when he signaled for me.
"How are you Thels?"
" Name's Tonia Fr."
"Oohh sorry...For a while i saw her in you...How are you?"
" I'm fine Fr. Your homily brought tears to my eyes".
" I'm glad it did...Thanks for coming,i appreciate. You bought the book?".
" Yes i did. I had to,it contains so many words in one volume".
" Bien...Okay, Tonia,if you will excuse me dear,i need to go in now. I feel very weak and sick".
" Not a problem Fr...But I'd like you to know that Ebube and i have fixed our wedding for the 5th of December this year... The traditional is in two weeks time"
" Woah! I believe that congratulations are in order then, that's lovely... I'm glad you did listened to your heart"
" Si...And you made a promise to me Fr."
" Which is?"
" That you will wed us"
"Si... Of course i remembered. Forgive me dear,i tend to unintentionally forget a lot of things these days"
" But not to worry,i will remember this one. I will wed you. I made a promise and if God permits i will surely keep it".
" Thanks Fr"
" You are welcome... I need to go now,i will see you around soon"
" Okay Fr...Bye." He stared at me for a while and took a glance behind me before he replied.
" Adios Tonia" He said and walked away.
But as he turned towards the father's house,from my peripheral vision i saw him slump. I rushed to him,so did everyone. The few ones around him quickly caught him before he actually touched the ground and took him inside.
