😥 BETRAYED ON THE ALTAR 😥
EPISODE 2
AUTHOR: FUNNY LAD
Oh no!
Was I really betrayed?
I refused to believe anything that was going through my head as hot tears kept on rushing down my eyes.
My heart was beating in endless rhythms. Suddenly, I felt a sharp and unbearable pain on my chest as the congregation started leaving one after the other but not without murmuring and professing their disappointments in the wedding.
"chai so all those things wey we dey see for movies dey happen for real life?"
"chai eyaah, I come dey pity for the girl o"
"but why the guy go do that kind thing na"
"omo the guy get mind sha"
All these comments were flooding into my ears and it weakened me making my legs to succumbed to the bare floor.
My eyes remained in one position unable to believe what was happening around me at that moment.
It was as if I had lost my senses at that period.
My vision were blurred as hot tears had already formed and blocked my sight.
Then I started hearing questions from different people. My best friend Sandra, some people around there and the priest.
"Amy are you okay?"
"are you okay dear?"
It was as if the words were running round in my head.
My heart was deteriorating at that moment and I did'nt know when I fell down flat to the floor and lost consciousness.

AUTHOR'S POV
The next thing Amara knew is she woke up on the hospital bed with a drip attached to her arms.
Her eyes were heavy as she scanned her surrounding.
Sandra was sitting at the edge of the bed and immediately she saw her wake up, she ran up to her.
"hey, you're awake"
"how're you feeling?" She asked but Amara could only nod to her question without saying anything.
Sandra caressed her forehead with so much concern. Then, at that point, the doctor walked in happily.
"you're awake. Thank goodness" he exclaimed and checked her vitals and other necessary things in her body.
"has she said anything since she woke up?" the doctor asked.
"no doctor and I am very worried" Sandra said worriedly.
"don't worry, she'll be fine. She was just shocked by the situation and the shock is still having a very huge effect on her. With time, she'll recover" he assured her and she nodded and caressed Amara's face one more time.
Amara laid down back on the bed without saying a word.
..
Finally when she was discharged from the hospital, Sandra drove her home.
Even inside the car, she was still not saying anything. She only looked out of the window staring into the sky.
When they arrived the mansion, Sandra came down and opened the gate and then drove inside the compound.
She opened the door to the car passenger and assisted her in walking inside the house.
When they reached the sitting room, she sat her down and caressed her hair again.
"you're scaring me Amara. Can you just say something already?" She asked but Amara only remained stagnant and silent like a ghost.
"lemme go get you a glass of water to drink" Sandra said and went to the kitchen to get the water.
When she came back, Amara was no where to be found.
"Amara! Amy! Where are you?" She called but there was no response.
"Amara!" She called going upstairs.
When she reached her room, she knocked.
"Amy, are you in there?" She asked and tried opening the door but there was no response. The door was locked from the inside.
It was so obvious that Amara was inside the locked room and that she intentionally locked herself in.
"Amara can you please not do this? Can you please open the door? Please.. don't do this...he doesn't worth all these..please Amy.." Sandra begged but it all fell on deaf ears.
She gave up and sat down on the bare floor outside the room.
Suddenly, her phone rang at the moment and she picked up the call.
"your service is needed right now in the company." her boss said to her at the other end of the line.
"bu..tt"
"no but" the boss said and hung up immediately.
Sandra stood up immediately and took her bag.
"Amara please take good care of yourself okay? Since you've refused to come out. I believe you're fine. I'll leave you for sometime. My boss just called me now to come over to the office as there's an emergency. I'll be back shortly, okay? Don't do anything stupid, please" she said and walked out of the house.
Few hours later, Sandra came back to the house and walked straight to Amara's room.
She knocked on the door and tried opening it but the door was still locked.
"Amy please don't tell me you've been in there locked up since I left. Can you please open the door already? This is not funny at all" she said.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"please I need your help guys" she said into the phone. In the next minute, three guys arrived at the house with hammer and other useful tools.
"you want us to break the door?" One of the guys asked.
"yes please" Sandra said.
And they immediately got into action, hitting, pushing and hammering on the door until it finally got broken down and Sandra immediately ran inside.
"blood of Jesus" her eyes flew open as she behold the sight in front of her.
Amara was lying down lifelessly on the floor.
She immediately ran up to her and started trying to get her up.
The guys also assisted in carrying her up and immediately, she was rushed back to the hospital.
"doctor please what's wrong with my friend? Why was she lying like that?" Sandra asked.
"It was caused as a result of weakness and ignorance. It seems she fell down cos there's injury on her leg. And then she passed out immediately" the doctor explained.
"but don't worry she'll be fine after waking up and taking her drugs" the doctor said.
"but that was the same thing you said the first time and she still ended up this way" Sandra said and the doctor smiled and placed his hand on her shoulder reassuring her.
"don't worry, this time she'll be truly fine before we discharge her" he said and she nodded.
The doctor left and she went back to sit beside Amara on the bed.
She caressed her face one more time then started peeling different kinds of fruits for her waiting till when she will wake up.
After some hours, Amara finally woke up and her eyes were more heavier than the first time she was admitted.
She scanned her environment and saw that she was in the hospital.
Her head was banging so badly that she groaned in pains. It felt as if the whole world was placed on her head and that she was carrying them all.
"how're you feeling?" Sandra asked but she never responded but only kept on groaning in pains.
Sandra had to call the attention of the doctor and he came inside the ward and did some check up on her and she fell back to sleep.
..
For five days that she had been admitted. Today was finally the day she would be discharged from the hospital.
Sandra assisted her in walking down to where the car was parked and immediately drove off to her mansion.
For those past five days, it was shocking that she still hadn't said anything to anyone. Today was the seventh day since her misfortuned wedding and the day that Stanley left her on the altar to marry herself.
Amara came down from the car and started walking into the house though assisted by Sandra.
She walked into the sitting room and sat down. After that, Sandra got a call from her boss at work and she left immediately but not without cooking and preparing all the necessary things that Amara will be needing in her absence.
Amara sat down there staring into space. She wasn't moving, talking or saying anything at all.
While she was still sitting, a knock came on the door. At first, she didn't want to but after the person had knocked on the door for over three times, she slowly stood up and went to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Stanley standing at the door.
