That July I received an invitation to a wedding between a guy named Charles and guess who? Fiona. Yes none other than Fiona. some man I had never known now took the very girl that I had spent many years praying over.
The wedding was glamorous. They exchanged wedding vows in Nairobi’s Catholic church. I could see tears of joy in her eyes. She was ecstatic. At the after party she saw me and she came over to talk to me. I wanted to ask her whether this dude she was marrying had asked permission from ‘her daddy.’ I wanted to tell her how much I prayed that her ‘daddy’ would give me permission to love her so that she would love me the way she seemingly loved this new man in her life. I wanted her to tell me the secret of approaching this God she believed in. but I was disappointed. She never remembered the incident at the library. She was probably too happy to remember such a drop in the vast ocean of her life. As for me I remembered that incident that turned my life around which was to her the shell of the sugarcane- useless. She saw my eyes turn glossy and when she asked me how I was feeling. I candidly answered that I was happy for her. She never noticed that I lied.
I said goodbye to her and to the God she believed in.

I am a Kenyan Law student at the University of Nairobi. I am also a poet despite preferring to write a lot. I also read a lot though not in the library and not only about one topic. I hope people enjoy my work. I must say it is not easy being a writer but I shall not give up writing. It is a passion that burns inside me like a furnace. Take care. And thank you.
