RE: @Gandhibaba FLASH FICTION CONTEST Week #3
WINE IS BEAST
I must confess, its a drama that shook the cradle of Masawa community. Ordinarily, one would have asked what had lead him into taking such a decision. But you know life is simple and equally transparent, especially for those who want to take an expedition at least once in a life time.
Such is the story of Roboto(Male) and Yemi(female) his wife. They were newly wedded couples who just returned from their honey moon. Their marriage ceremony was one that would be talked about as far as that generation would last because even the traditional ruler who people think have the wild connections of this life could not have brought together all those big wigs who came to their wedding.
Upon their return, they were welcomed by the villagers who trouped in large numbers to welcome them back. It was indeed another party entirely as this welcome back was attended by the king himself.
Roboto was indeed there for them. As he himself for the first time held a bottle of Castlelite Lagger. While the enjoyment lasted, it was now time for all to leave and head back to their place of abode, Roboto came and gave the vote of Thanks. While that was going on, a young man who had been drunk and carried away by the symphony of music came and interrupted the talk. At first, it was as though it were a small thing but as he began to talk profusely with unequally negative vibrations, the whole environment suddenly became chaotic.
The drunken man who revealed himself to be the ex-husband to Yemi and had a child for him but hid this salient information from Roboto, talked largely about his sexual escapades with her.
At this point, the celebration that began on a mild sweet note ended sadly.
Roboto who could no longer hold himself as a result of high alcoholic consumption used the bottle he was holding to hit the drunken man. Few minutes later, the drunken man died.
MORAL LESSON
Indeed wine is a beast. If the drunken man had not taken wine, he would have been able to know that there are certain things you don't say out of jealousy. Jealousy is the root of all bitterness.@gandhibaba
