CHAPTER 2

Twenty-three years later...

Catastrophe was walking in the company of two girlfriends and her female cousin Celia. They walked around a small square in a small town in the interior of the country.

Catastrophe had grown up to be a beautiful young woman.

This is the story they tell since I can remember! She said bored by always telling the same things to people.

Aunt said that the date of your wedding will be selected, her female cousin said.

I’ve never seen him in my life ... I do not know what he is like. I don’t know anything about him...

Catastrophe vented and looked away worried. She did not know whether this marriage would be a good event in her life.

He must be beautiful! her friend said.

I am not concerned about his aesthetic beauty, I'm afraid that I might not like him as I should.

CHAPTER 3

She dinned in the company of her family. Her parents seemed satisfied with the marriage that would take place within a few months.

We received a letter from your groom, her mother informed her. He said he is coming back... This is a sign that he has not forgotten his promise.

I am sure he will love you, my daughter, her father informed her.

I have to talk to you both about something very important, Catastrophe said to her parents.

Tell us dear! her mother hastened.

I do not want to get married to him! She said bluntly.

You cannot undo what is already destined to be, her mother informed her gently.

What I cannot do, is to marry a man I have never seen in my life.

Catastrophe stood, leaving all the food on her plate and ran into her room.

Neodina rose to go after her, to discuss the matter but she was stopped by her husband.

It is better to leave her alone for a while, her husband said.

CHAPTER 4

Catastrophe was visiting her fiancé’s grandmother; she grew up with this custom, to often visit Mrs. Rosanna.

The two were taking tea, both sitting on the straw chairs on the porch.

I am very happy that you will be my only grandson’s wife! Ruan could not find a better girl to marry him.

Catastrophe gave her a wilted smile.

Look how the years go by! I still remember when you were born, a little girl was emaciated and today you're a beautiful young woman! The old woman smiled, missing a tooth in the front. Your mother will give you the dress she married your father in. It is one of our traditions ... it will bring luck for the wedding.

That is if there will be a wedding! The girl thought to herself, staring at the wrinkled face of her groom’s grandmother.

CHAPTER 5

Catastrophe got up out of her bed and grabbed a notebook in the drawer of her bedside table. There was some writing on it and a calendar.

The days are passing fast. It is only two weeks until his return! She said with fear. She wanted to stop time so it did not elapse quickly.

***

Lunch was served and Catastrophe did not touch her food. Her face showed clearly that she was having sleepless nights.

You have not eaten well these last few weeks, her mother complained to her, concerned about the state of her daughter.

I have no appetite, Catastrophe said.

You need to eat; your groom will not like to see your bones, Neodina recommended.

***

Catastrophe was in her room. She was venting to her female cousin about her unhappiness.

I can't stand it any longer! All I have to say, do or think, it is all to please my groom! Only that! she said gloomily.

You will have to adapt to your destiny, her cousin replied.

Wretched groom! I hate him without even knowing him! Catastrophe said.

If you keep thinking this way, your marriage will not last a day! her female cousin advised.

I dream about getting married one day ...but not now. I wish to marry a man of my own choosing ... Catastrophe lowered her head. I envy you, Ilma, Alva, Regina and all the girls in the world, who are free to choose their husbands.

Regret is worse, her cousin said putting her hand on Catastrophe’s
