Chapter 70: The Proposal 3.

It's all there in the Bible, no one teaches me more than the other, I might've thought that I learnt it all, but as every single pass do I realize that I know nothing, not even a single thing.
Jesus came to the world, he died for us, knowing that still we are going to stab him on the back, Mother superior had me and the others, she trained me up to the boy I became, but I stabbed her on the back, late uncle Dale had his wife and son, his wife stabbed him on the back, yet he never gave up taking in a new soul which was me, yet his son too stabbed him in the back, who am I then to overcome backstabbing?.
All those I looked up to got betrayed, even Uncle Dale who was the most cautious of them all happened to get two stabs rather than one, seems like Mother superior was right after all, I should let go of my fear and enjoy whatever life throws at me, I can build my foundation but I can never predict what Life has in store for me.
With some people still serving themselves food, putting in as much as they want into their plates, Mother superior took charge with the task without giving me a proper heads up, just looking at me and then get on with it. 
She gently hit her spoon on the glass cup repeatedly, drawing the attention of everybody in the room. I have never felt this type of nervous before, I am uncle Dale's son and I have only one option, be strong, I have been the strongest I know of but not at this level, though there's no sign of panic within me, this is a lifelong decision I am fully willing to oblige to, but I am scared, scared for no single reason. What's the worst that can happen?, My emotions has no power over my actions, this is not the first time this will be happening, it has happened a million times more in this world we live in, whether it was when I was born or when I haven't been conceived, it has been something normal, something that continuously keeps happening and won't be stopping anytime soon, get on with it soldier.
“ Can I have Mr Williams come to the stage....?”, mother superior asked, with a smile on my lips, I got up from my position, I don't care whatever it is I am feeling inside my head, this is a special moment in your Life Jones, don't mess it up, I keep telling myself.
“ Mr Williams here has something special for us, something he took quite sometime to come to conclusion, and now we have him here to do what he thinks is the right choice.....”, everyone began to applaud as I stood in front of the crowd, this is it Jones, show me while you're Uncle Dale's boy.
I made the walk to where Jackie was seated, her eyes was on mine, never left my face, this is the lady that told me that I should be careful not to fall into destruction, because I wouldn't be dragging her with me, instead she would be jumping in with me. 
Her eyes were on me as she placed her hand on mine, I gently pulled her up while she stands, turning around, I took her with me as I made my way to the center stage, every eyes fixed on us. I know the woman I am holding, she loves me in a way that she would respect any single order that came from me, she doesn't care what the order was, as far as it's what I want, she wouldn't hesitate to oblige.
Facing mother superior with me, I turned her by the side to face me this time, it's about time I make it all right, it's about time I join the bond that will officially make her mine, that will bond us together for a long time, for eternity.
Kneeling on one of my knee, I can hear the moaning and Joy coming from those around, but I can't see them, the only one I can see was she who stood before me, eyes on mine, ready to bend the world for me just so I can be a happy man, a Lady whose ambition is to see my smile everyday, a woman who supports me even when the odds are low and against us, she wouldn't stop fighting because she believes in my motives, she knows what's right for her man and her man knows what's right for her.
“ Jackie my Love, Will you marry me?....”, this time, the question didn't slip out from my lips, I was the one who built it inside my head, nurtured it and processed it with a soft tone that fits it.
“ I Will Honey.... Today, tomorrow and forever....”.
What else can a man who has everything ask for, my ring is now on her finger, our lips are sealed together and the only thing I can hear was the relaxed breath she shares with me and the sound of our lips, every other things around us were invincible and can never be seen, if I was darkness, then she's my light, when light comes into darkness, everywhere becomes lively and bright, she made me lively, she made the brightness in me shine.
The rest of the occasion was nothing but joy and happiness, we played our old games, danced, made fun of ourselves, appreciates Mother superior and sister Benita, thanks them for all they did for us, and when all that was done, I went to the corner to make a phone call to the person who made all this possible, to the person who taught about the world both by teaching and practical, the man who despite everything, I can't deny he's my second father who didn't spend a long time with me, but taught me more than I ever asked for.
“ Hello Mr Caleb, it's me Jones... Jones Williams ”.
