Please be frank with me. Am I fat?
It's been three days since the engagement party, and no one have seen or heard from Maxwell and Joy.
The party seem like a wedding already for them.
They just wanted to get away as soon as possible from everyone and everything.
Amanda was the only one that noticed that they left, she could also guess what they did in the car, as the car kept shaking from side to side.
Though she had been communicating with Joy as regards the wedding, and she was going to come and see her, so that they could plan together face to face.
All the planning have been taking place online, but now, they needed to visit some places, for the wedding is close.
The couple doesn't want a loud wedding, and they say, they don't need a wedding planner.
Money is really not the case for them, so since it is their choice, it will be that way.
Amanda got up from the bed and went to her dressing table.
She kept looking at herself, she cannot explain why she feels different.
She also looks different, and it was kind of disturbing for her, but she could not place her hands on what it is.
She was checking out her bum, when she
Heard him from behind.
"You have added in every part, and I really like it".
She covered her mouth with her palm.
That was what she was looking for, she have been thinking that something was different about her, she could not make it out, but now that Goodluck have said it, she knows it now.
Not like she is the slim type, but she really is looking too fat.
She turned to him and asked.
"Are you saying I am fat?
Her question was confusing even for goodluck, didn't he just tell her that he likes it?
"It's not like you are fat, fat.
You are very okay with your new look, besides, didn't you notice how everyone kept staring at you at the party?
When her expression didn't change, he tried to change the topic.
Speaking of the party, I haven't seen or heard from the couple, hope they are okay?
I didn't even see them leave".
That worked, because she responded.
"I saw them leave, at first, they were busy in the car, then later they went home to finish the work".
She said with a smirk.
Goodluck laughed hysterically, for he understands what she meant by busy.
"Your brother is a bad guy, and I guess he is doing a great job from what I can see".
Amanda also giggled, but what he said earlier about her being fat got to her.
"Baby, am I really fat?
Goodluck was shocked, for he thought that they were already over that.
"You are okay, you don't have to be so cranky about anything, but maybe you sure need some workout, so that you don't look too fat in your own eyes".
Amanda got the confirmation she was looking for.
"You see, you just said it, you just confirmed that I am fat, oh shit! I have to work on it".
She rushed out to meet her mother.
Good luck got up from the bed, to go after her, when he got to the door, he remembered that Star is still in her crib, and she cannot be left alone, so he went back to get her, then went down the stairs to meet her.
She had already gone to her mother and started asking her.
"Am I really fat?
She didn't even greet, she just went ahead to ask the question.
"No you are not fat, I am thinking of getting you some native herbs from the village, to help you have more appetite to eat, you look good".
Goodluck liked the answer, that when she turned back to face Goodluck he quickly look away, then there was a knock on the door, that well distracted her from asking again.
"I will get the door".
He quickly said, and rushed to get the door, only to open it and it is Joy.
"Wow! Our bride, you decided to come out today.
I don't know what that my man is giving to you that you just allow him keep you in doors".
Joy giggled, and let herself in.
Amanda didn't allow her sit down before she started questioning her.
"Thank God you are here Joy, please look at me, and be very Frank with me, you know you are my friend, just tell me the truth, am I fat?
Goodluck thought the topic have been dropped, but clearly she still has it in mind.
He quickly went behind her, so as to signal to Joy, not to tell her she is fat.
Joy didn't get the message, for she started stuttering.
"Em, actually, you have added a little, but that is just because you are nursing a baby, and soon, after nursing her, you will go back to how you used to be, it is as simple as that".
Still Amanda was not satisfied with the answer, she was so angry, she changed the topic herself.
"I will just take my bathe and be down in a minute, so we can start the planning".
She says, and left, not wanting to talk about her body anymore.
When she was out of sight, Joy asked.
"Did something happen? because she clearly looks angry".
Goodluck scratched his head, for he feels he must have been the one that made her feel that way.
Joy searched his face, waiting for him to answer.
"She was checking out herself this morning, and I just told her that she has added, and that I like it, she was supposed to be happy, but she became angry and started asking everyone how she looks, she just needed someone to tell her that she has not added a pound, maybe that is what I should have done".
He looked towards the direction of where she left from, and started walking towards there, but she came out immediately.
"Joy I am at the garden, we can plan from there".
She started walking away immediately, for she feels they are all talking about her.
"You don't need to make her feel bad about herself".
Joy tells him, before going after her.
Goodluck sat back on the sofa, looking confused, while Mrs Chukwu walked away with Star.
