Jenahra
Twenty years later…
“How you get married at your own house and still be late? Chrissy on
that bullshit. It’s too hot out here to have people waiting like this.”
I slowly shook my head and rolled my eyes as my youngest brother,
Storm, voiced his complaints. “Storm, we’re gonna start shortly. Go keep
the guests entertained,” I said and almost laughed.
“What the fuck? Jenahra, you tryna call me a clown?”
I couldn’t hold my laughter any longer, and that had finally produced a
laugh out of Chrissy. She was so nervous, and I couldn’t understand why.
Vida and I had been trying to calm her down for the past fifteen minutes.
“Nigga, just go. Go outside with all that whining before I get the twins for
yo’ ass,” Vida said loudly.
“Uh huh. Wait till y’all bring y’all asses out of there.”
I could hear him walking away… finally. Turning my attention back to
Chrissy, I said, “Mama is almost done fixing the tear. It’s not a big deal, sis.
No one will notice. LaKeith surely won’t notice.”
“But I know it’s there. I just want everything to be perfect. This has
been a long time coming. LaKeith has been nothing short of amazing, and I
just want to give him my best.”
“Baby, you could walk out there in a pair of jeans, and the only
complaint that nigga gon’ have is why you got him in a tuxedo,” Tiffany
said, causing us all to laugh.
“Okay! I’m done. It’s like new. Take a picture, Jen, so she can see it.”
Lifting my phone, I took a picture and showed Chrissy as she stood. She
smiled big then hugged Mama, thanking her for mending her dress. Finally,
we could start. As I walked down the stairs, I thought about my wedding
over twenty-five years ago. Joseph and I had been through rough times, but
with the help of the Lord, we’d made it through. He was able to forgive me
for my infidelity eventually, and I threw myself at the hem of the Lord’s
garment, submerging myself in His mercy.
I was far from perfect, and my siblings thought I was judgmental. It
wasn’t that. I just didn’t like seeing them make the same bad decisions that
I did… especially Tiffany. She reminded me so much of myself. While
things were horrible for a while between Joseph and I, God gave me the
strength to endure. But sometimes, I wondered whether I should have just
cut my losses and moved on. He’d developed a sick infatuation with hitting
me after that.
The only good thing was that he didn’t do that in front of our daughter.
But the harsh part was that he’d treated her badly because of his hatred for
me. He treated her like he treated me… rough, as if we were his servants.
