Chapter 48
"Hmm, you are damn too right, Kate, I see what you are saying. Do you know that our marriage could have hit the rocks faster than we could imagine? Now I know that all things work together for our good." Phillip spoke with convictions as if he is just waking out of slumber.
The truth is that their relationship was dead on arrival. He was a prostitute and no prostitute can make a good home. No man can serve two masters, it's either you love one and hate the other. Phillip truly loves Lilian right from day one. It was love at first sight.
Lilian kept mute sitting on a sofa, sipping her pineapple juice. Phillip went to her and kneeling down, proposed to her formally." I know this may not seem appropriate but I am resolved to go all the way with you, please will you marry me?" Phillip declared.
Lilian could not believe her eyes, like she was taken aback. She opened her eyes and tears started to flow unhindered. She sobbed her heart out.
"Oh my God! Please Lilian say yes, please!" Dr Phillips yelled out of excitement.
"Today is so special and sweet. Please my friend Lilian answer your man. We are all waiting for you." I encouraged.
"You don't understand anything. I am not proud of myself to have distrupted another's wedding. I can't just say yes until I asked Kate to forgive me."
Turning to Kate, Lilian asked for forgiveness.
"Please do forgive all the things I have spoken against you. Let's be friends."
Kate went to Lilian and gave her a warm and long hug. Finally she spoke out.
"I'm as guilty as you are, Lilian. I said horrible things about you and I am very sorry for saying terrible things too." Kate replied Lilian.
"Now that the coast is cleared, can we have Phillip propose again?" Dr Phillips uttered with a smirk on his face.
"Yes I will ask you again my love. I promise to be faithful, loyal and honest. I will keep our vow till my dying breath." Phillip uttered.
"Oh my God, this is so good." I screamed holding my breath.
"Will you marry me?" Phillip spoke.
"No she cannot marry you? She is mine and mine!" We never knew when the door was flung open and a man walked in.
"John!" Lilian screamed as she rushed into his waiting arms.
We all stood there shocked to see the six feet tall handsome man. He came in with white trousers and a white t-shirt. They were locked up in each other's arms for a long time. Phillip closed his ears on the floor where he knelt and you could feel his pain. It was a touching time. No one could talk. If a pin had dropped, we would all hear it.
"When did you come?" Lilian asked him.
"I heard that you are going to marry another man." John confessed.
"So what ? Who told you?"
"Hey take it easy baby. It's your cousin sister, Annabelle. She said if I did not come quickly to marry you, another man will take you to the altar." John explained.
"Oh my God! My sister is evil. How could she do this to me?" Lilian exclaimed.
"Hmm, I think it's to test your strength and love. If truly you love Phillip, you will go for him." I concluded for her. Somehow I feel Lilian is kind of confused.
"Phillip stand up and sit down. All these will soon be over. If the two of you are meant to be, then no one can distrup this union." Isaac spoke out.
"Yeah, I quite agree with Dr Isaac. Phillip don't worry at all. Be strong man!" Dr Phillips went and patted him on the back.
"Hmm,I think I am paying for my sins." Phillips whined.
"Come off it, you are passing through test of love. Be strong and fight for your love." I told Phillip.
"Listen everyone, Lilian has been mine for long. Yes we had a misunderstanding but I don't want to lose her to another man. Please leave my Lilian for me." John pleaded.
"But she is carrying Phillip's child." I retorted calmly.
"Gosh! No it can't be. She will have to flush the thing out."
"What!!!" Everyone cried out.
Lilian could not believe her ears at what he said. A wonderful party was almost ruined that night but for the intervention of Dr Isaac and Dr Phillips who would not let go. Kate was already feeling bad.
"Hey everyone, we were happy celebrating the birthday of our beloved Kate and her engagement to our lovely Doctor. Please let the drinks continue.
"Yes doctor, this is a night to remember. Cheer up my dear Phillip. This will soon pass. I'm sure you know that what God has for you will not pass you by. " Dr Phillips roared.
"Please Phillip take heart and we will resolve this in good time. It's my decision and not anyone's." Lillian replied.
What next?
Will Lilian marry Phillip or John?
Will she flush out a seven month old baby?
Watch out for the next chapter!
