That blow was so swift I could still see images of it on 0.50× speed followed by my fiancee falling to the ground on the tarred road just beside his car.
We had come to the mall to shop for some essential things for the house party I had in mind for my birthday. I didn't want anything elaborate this year. I just wanted to celebrate my 27th anniversary on earth with a little amount of people. My close circle that involved my siblings Mark and Ziora, my best girls Ella and Sandra, my fiancee Oscar and his best guy, Akin.
Shopping for 7 people wasn't supposed to be hard and the least, embarrassing.
I know he had proposed to me with the surprise bang few weeks ago, but I already knew he had something up his sleeves, looking at the way he was behaving. I definitely knew also that my friends were in on it. My man definitely doesn't know how to keep a secret, at least not from me cause I always had a hint from his behaviors (so I thought).
Most of the time, I had him spill it before I saw the "alleged surprise" and sometimes I let it be and just pretend I was surprised so as not to bruise his ego since he likes doing the surprising.
We arrived at the mall and parked by the road because there was no parking space within the environment.
We were still talking in the car when I saw Akin's car drive and park on the other side of the road.
"Did you tell Akin about the shopping or is it a coincidence?" I asked Oscar, pointing towards Akin's car through the tinted glass on my side of the car.
He shook his head in denial and got down from the car as did I.
"Who is the lady with him? I haven't seen her before", I asked him but it seemed he didn't hear me fast enough as Akin had already gone round and grabbed Oscar, choking him out of breath and shouting at the same time.
"How dare you Oscar, how dare you sleep with my sister! How dare you!"
Then the first punch came with my fiancee halfway flying to the ground and then came more neck grabbing and punches right there on the ground.
The lady that came with Akin tried to hold or probably drag her brother away alongside two passerbys while I just stood there trying to understand the shocking words "...sleep with my sister".
Oscar is not one to even look at another lady not to talk of being dodgy or cheating on me, so I don't quite understand what is going on here and what Akin is saying.
At least that was what he told me and proved to me all through the time we dated.
So he could actually keep a secret from me?
