Chapter 7: CHAPTER SEVEN
(Christine was taken to the police station and locked up. He was bailed later that day by Mark.) Mark:What did you do to get arrested? Christine:I just followed her to make sure she was okay. Mark: You mean you stalked her and she got you arrested? I love that girl!! She's doing things no one would dare think of doing to you. Christine:Stop talking and drive. I need to get home and apologize to her before she does something crazy again. Mark: I respect her. (He laughs and he drives him home and he wishes him good luck and leaves. He took a few deep breathes and went in. She was sitting at the dinner table when he went to her and was about to hug her when she paused him with her hand.) Jasmine: Go take you bath and come down and eat. (He tried to hug her again but she stopped him) Don't touch me until you've taken you bath. (He nods his head and he went to take his bath after which he then ate and went to talk to her.) Christine:am sorry for following you around. Jasmine: Why were you stalking me? Christine: I thought you were meeting up with José and I was wrong but you did meet up with some other guy. He's the same height as me with a handsome face . Who's he and why did you meet him everyday? Jasmine: He's my friend and I really missed him. Christine: Is that how you treat all your friends? If yes then I'll be your one and only friend. Jasmine: Are you jealous? Christine: Of course I am jealous. You were hugging and kissing, he held your wrist and you even stayed in his room for two hours fifty-two minutes and twelve seconds. Jasmine: You stayed there for that long? Christine: And it took you nineteen minutes and fifty seconds to leave his car when he dropped you home.( Jasmine laughed at him) Jasmine: That's how you behave when you're jealous? I would pay big money to see you in that state. Christine: It's not funny. I couldn't eat properly because I had to keep my eyes on you wherever you went and couldn't sleep because I was waiting for you to stop talking to him and also waited for him to text you when you were asleep so I could tell him that you're married to me and he should leave you alone. Jasmine: He knows am married and he wouldn't have left me if you had told him to. He fights for what he wants. Besides he's leaving tomorrow(she sighed with a disappointed look on her face) Christine:So you're sad because he's leaving? Come on Jas, am your husband. You should be sad about me leaving not about someone else leaving. Am really sorry . Jasmine: I forgave you the first time I saw you seated a few tables away from us.(they laughed about it
and everything was fine)
(Christine asked Jasmine to marry him,she said yes and they got married. It was a small ceremony. They went to a small resort for their honeymoon. At the resort, they met José and Selina who were there for "some fun". The newly wed were not thrilled but could not do a thing and unfortunately on their side their room was right next to José and Selina's. Jasmine and Christine decided to make their time there memorable and went to have some drinks and José and Selina joined them . They did not enjoy their time. José and Selina would crash their moments together. They had to return early and a few weeks later Jasmine found out she was pregnant. They were very happy and the kids couldn't stop fighting over the gender and the name of the baby. But things were meant to go bad for Jasmine. Christine was sent a picture of José and Jasmine kissing and he was mad. He called her a slut, gold digger and other names. Jasmine tried explaining to him but he left the room. Jasmine fell down the stairs while trying to stop him and she passed out. A few hours later she woke up and Christine tried to go close to her but she stopped him with her hand.) Jasmine: Leave. (He tried talking to her but she cut him short ) I said leave. (He went out and Anna and the kids went in to see her. The kids were sad to see their mother . When she was discharged, she went to live with Anna and asked her not to let Christine into the house. He went to the house to beg her but he was kicked out. His mother had restricted him from coming to her house until Jasmine was back home. He asked his father to talk to his mother to talk to Jasmine and also let him come home but he had no say in what his wife did. Christine was frustrated and didn't know what to do. His mother cared about him but was also mad at him for what he had done. She spoke to Jasmine but she wouldn't listen. She kept on trying to convince her to come stay with her until she agreed. When Christine found out Jasmine was staying with his mother he rushed to his mother's and was kicked out of the house.) Jasmine: Mama why did you kick him out? Martha (Christine's mother): He hurt you so bad and for that matter he's not welcomed here anymore. Jasmine: But mama he's your son. You can't do that. I can't imagine not talking to Camilla for a day. You have to forgive him. Martha:I'll only forgive him if you do. Jasmine:Mama I've forgiven him but am still hurt. Mama: I know you're hurt but I was told you didn't shed a tear after you were told you lost the baby. You lost a part of you and you are hurt. You need to let it out. Jasmine: Mama I can't. I tried but I just couldn't cry. I wil tell him I forgive him but I'll stay here for a while.( She forgave him but made plans to leave the country without the knowledge of Martha but she over heard her when she was talking about it to Anna. Martha waited for Anna to leave before she confronted her.) Martha : Are we not treating you right? Jasmine: No, mama. I need some space. Martha: But you don't stay with Christine. Why do you want to leave? Jasmine: I have to. Mama I'll lose my mind if I stay with him. Martha: So you want a divorce? How long have you two been married and you want a divorce? Your papa and I have been married for thirty years and we had good times and bad times but we never left each others sides. I know my son is a lot to handle and I was mad at him but I forgave him and you can too. Jasmine: Mama I've forgiven him but we need some time apart and maybe he would know my worth and will know I will never cheat on him. Martha: How long will you be gone for? Jasmine:I don't know. Martha: I'll support any decision you make but I just want you to know that there are different ways to solve this issue. You are a wise girl and I hope you know what you're doing. (Christine came the next day and Martha presented to him divorce papers that Jasmine had already signed. He rushed to Anna's house but was told that she had left in the middle of the night.)
