Love Beyond Control

When Ella finally looked at the door and saw Henry, she quickly wiped her eyes and opened her mouth in shock.

Henry stood there looking at her indifferently and after scaring the hell out of her with his indifferent stare, he finally beckoned her to come and without waiting for her, he turned and walked back to the gate of the City Council. Ella stood up and hurried out of the hall ignoring all the insults, mockeries and stares.

As soon as she stepped out, she looked around as if she was looking for her saviour. Her eyes fell on the two men at the gate. One on the wheelchair and the other standing beside the man on the wheelchair. As soon as she saw them, she hurried and finally caught up with them. When she caught up with them, none of them even glanced at her. She looked at the cars passing by in embarrassment and bit her lower lip. After a moment of silence, Ella finally gathered the courage to speak out first to her husband before his brother Henry who is equally her husband's witness.

"Hi, thank you for marrying me. I..."

"You are thanking me for marrying a filthy and shameless prostitute like you. Am I right?"

Elion vomited these words with no remorse or sympathy to the other party.

Ella, who was smiling shyly, suddenly froze before she bit her lower lip and opened her mouth as though she had something to say but ended up saying nothing to Elion. She looked at Henry and greeted him out of courtesy. "Good morning sir."

Henry didn't reply but bent a little towards Elion and asked him where they were heading to.

"Where are we heading to bro?"

"It's like you have a busy day." Responded Elion with a cold voice

Not at all, I just wanted to hear from you.

After waiting for Elion's response, it didn't come so Henry quietly held his wheelchair from the back and pushed him away from the council while Ella followed them as if she was lost in thoughts.

She didn't know how long they have walked because all along, she paid no attention to where they were going because she was so lost in thoughts. As they continued their journey, Henry, who was pushing Elion, suddenly came to a halt in front of a very old and dirty building which looked as if the zinc was leaking. As soon as he stopped, Ella suddenly bumped into his back pushing him to stumble a bit with Elion shaking from the wheelchair. Elion frowned and Henry hurriedly apologised.

"I'm sorry big bro. She pushed me"

Hearing this, Ella grabbed the hem of her dress like a child who has wronged her father before she apologised.

"Please I'm really sorry, I wasn't looking so I accidentally ran into him."

"What were you thinking about? Oh! You were thinking about all those filthy men that have slept with you right?"

He waited for Ella to respond but she didn't respond. She looked at Elion and apologised with a sad voice as though she was about to cry.

"I am sorry."

Without a word, Elion looked at Henry who immediately understood what he wanted. He pushed Elion towards the stairs and pushed him into the house through a recently cemented straight place which seemed to have been arranged to sooth Elion's wheelchair in and out of the house.

When they got into the house, Ella remained outside. She looked at the old zinc for some time before her eyes left the zinc and landed on the veranda which was covered by spirogyra. The walls of the house were terrible and the surroundings of the house were so bushy. The grass was not tall but made the house and its surroundings look horribly frightful. After staring at the house for some time, Ella walked to the stairs, she climbed them slowly and finally walked to the door as though she didn't want to be seen.

Immediately she reached the door, she was greeted by a strange scent and she twisted her nostrils unconsciously.

"If you can't bear the scent you better leave."

Said Elion who was sitting on the wheelchair and looking at her coldly.

Ella quickly adjusted her face but didn't smile. Just as she walked into the house, Henry suddenly pushed Elion outside by passing her without a word. When they passed by her, Ella turned and stared at them as they walked out of the door. Henry suddenly stopped and turned to Ella.

"My brother and I are farmers, we survive through farm work so we don't waste our time on any other thing other than farming. That said, we are going to the farm..."

"Who asked you to explain anything to her?" Ask Elion with anger fuming in his voice

"I'm sorry bro. Next time I will ask you first." Said Henry

"So there's going to be a next time?" Asked Elion.

Not at all, brother. Henry replied and threw one glance at Ella before he pushed Elion away. She looked at them till they went out of her sight.

Turning into the house, she pinched her jaw to bring herself back to full awareness of her environment.

She looked at the dilapidated walls which looked like they were falling off already. There was only a small old television which was hung on the wall with a decoder carefully placed just beneath the television on a small plank that was nailed to the wall.

There was an old woollen carpet on the middle of the floor with an old wooden table standing on it.

Not far from the television was an old clock which was still perfectly okay.

Ella left the living room and walked up to a door which looked like it was a door into the only bedroom. She observed the room and saw that there was a two place bed size at one corner of the room. There was an old wardrobe which was locked. She stepped out of the room and entered the bathroom. It consisted of a flushing toilet, a shower which was hung on the ceiling and the basic bathroom equipment.

After walking back into the living room, Ella smiled and shook her head in disappointment before speaking out what had been in her mind the minute she arrived.

I'm already used to working 24/7 and I think today happens to be one of my leisure days so let me make good use of the time.
