Chapter One The Nuptial

******************

Chapter One The Nuptial

Mayor Patrick Bay of Melilla wedded Juliet in what has come to be known as GWR - Grandest Wedding Royale. The highly publicised and celebrated ceremony happened to be the first of its kinds; hosting famous royal fathers, famed world leaders, heavy political bigwigs, wealthy business moguls, respected academicians, and top celebrities. Six most popular musicians in Spain played guest bands in the six days wedding celebrations.

Hers was certainly one of the most celebrated and most expensive weddings ever in the world. Yet, as great as her marriage celebration was, the deep hole in Juliet's heart broke open the very minute it ended. On the outside, she looked the prettiest and happiest fellow on earth but, on the inside, the hot war ravaged her very being, tragically distorting her beauty. It was a serious war of the mind; her unsettled conscience contemptuously roared against her ways tempestuously.

The very moment the wedding ceremony was over Julie’s eyes strangely derailed the attention of waiting guests. Then she heard a deep voice roaring from beneath her mind, speaking with such inferno that burns through her.

Damn you, Julie… Eh! You have just finished yourself. Did I not warn you not to go ahead with this wedding? Oh, your arrogance wouldn’t let you heed my voice. Now, Willie shall hear of this historic fanfare, and you know how he’ll cause hell to fall the tragedy. Ah! You’ve got to think how you and your royal lover will be damned when he flew back to Melilla

Oh, my God! The newly wedded Julie exclaimed with rising fear. Confused and pained, she tried to silent the voice, but to no avail. And, as she was trying to fight back emerging tears off her cheeks, the voice returned:

Fuck you, Julie! Willie will sure gravely doom you and Bay. Yeah, and then shall your shame overwhelmed your bestowed honours. You’ll be damned. Sure, you’ll be.

The newly wedded bride shivered and fell her back against the wall, just as the strange voice ceased from speaking to her.

Juliet knew the voice was speaking the whole truth. She knew Willie well. Yes shew knew the valiant man of war would never let go that which he consider to be his right or possession. More so, in this case, he would indeed be justified should he ventured to fighting. She turned her sobbing cheeks aimlessly about and said to herself: I knew him. He had never let go of what he believed to be his right or possession. Eh! Should he still be alive, devil is sure for our guest. Could Willie still be alive? Will he ever return from the war-front?

Queen Juliet and General Willie dated for six years. And, in those beautiful years, Juliet had come to know him as a man of his words; a hardhearted person that never reneges on his promises. He takes every word of agreement as covenant that must not be broken.

They were preparing for marriage when the General got the call-up to battlefield. He was to lead his Mercenary forces with the Spanish Army against France. The called-up to battle came just three days after their formal introduction. Then, with the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces calling him up to join his troops against France, all other wedding arrangement were put on hold. He took courage to call his lover of six years, informing her of the new development.

I still loved you so much. You are my only love; yeah, my very heart. And I am all yours. This is a third trial of our love. I need your promise of loyalty, Julie. Promise me that you'll patiently wait till I come. Mind you, when and if I will return, I do not know, he said.

Juliet, hearing her fiancé’ last statement suddenly busted to tears. She was greatly touched with his words Mind you, when and if I will return I do not know. After much persuasive words from the General, Juliet finally promised to wait while he is away to the battle. And with this assurance, right there and then, the General in his happy mood transferred a sum of £1 million into her account -  £500, 000 to buy the remaining wedding items on their jointly marked down for purchase list and £500,000 for her personal upkeep.

We shall be wedded the very first week of my arrival. This is promise, William assured, as he held her tight to his breasts.

Twenty four hours later, General Willie left for the airport, with his wailing lovebird in the company. Julie sobbed all through the road to the airport. Many things made her to weep:

Her great love for him and his for her came first. It used to such a light pf affection that gets brighter each passing day.

The intrusive assault Willie’s profession made upon their relationship was another thing that made her to weep. For the third time, their wedding arrangement has been postponed on  the instances of his military engagement.

Above all were her three fears. First was fear of her age. She clocked
