In some films and TV dramas, there are often melodramatic plots of "a couple being brother and sister". A month ago, this kind of plot was put on stage in real life. A happy relationship was shattered and turned into a nightmare...
On September 5th, a wedding was being held in a church in Tana River County, Kenya. Under the auspices of the pastor, the groom Jotham Munini and the bride Anne Magwi were about to enter the marriage hall. Family and friends were all dressed up and sent their blessings to the couple.
At that time, several strangers suddenly broke into the church, and one of the middle-aged men said that the wedding must be aborted. He told the pastor that the couple could not get married because the bride and groom were brother and sister, and the man himself was their biological father.
After hearing the man's word, the pastor immediately suspended the wedding, and asked the man to sit down with the two newlyweds and explain the hidden secrets in detail.
It turned out that this strange man was named James Sidai. He was married twice. The bridegroom Jotham of this wedding was born by him and his first wife.
However, the man Sidai cheated on his marriage and found a lover. After his ex-wife discovered that he had an affair, their relationship deteriorated. Finally, his ex-wife divorced him and left him with his one-year-old son.
Sidai, who was back to single, initially planned to continue the love with his lover, but their financial situation was not good at the time. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to begin quarrels and finally broke up. At that time, his lover was four months pregnant.
Later Sidai heard from a friend that the lover had given birth to a daughter, Anne, who looked a lot like him. His lover married a school teacher a year after they broke up.
Both relationships ended without a doubt. His ex-wife's friends were unwilling to talk to him and his old lover also left him. Since then, Sidai hadn't seen his son or daughter for a long time.
Sidai later remarried and had 3 children with his current wife. Once when he dropped the kids off at school, he unexpectedly saw his daughter Anne born by the old lover. Since he saw daughter Anne had already got a father around, Sidai suddenly lost his mind and did not rush to claim their relationship with his daughter.
After her daughter Anne graduated from elementary school, she disappeared from Sidai 's vision again. For more than ten years since then, Sidai could only inquire the relatives and friends about the situation of his two children. To prove that he was telling the truth, Sidai took out a few photos of the children when they were young and when they were in college. These photos were forwarded to him by relatives and friends.
Unexpectedly, when Sidai heard the news of the two children again, he was frightened in a cold sweat. One day, he saw a wedding invitation shared by a friend in a chat group. After glancing at the picture, Sidai discovered that the two newlyweds at the wedding were both his own children. The friend didn’t know the origins of the two newlyweds, but it was noticed by their biological father.
Sidai immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The son and daughter shouldn't have known each other's origins before they fell in love. If they get married, it would be equivalent to incest.
The matter was so important that Sidai felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He brought his sisters and rushed to the wedding immediately to stop this unethical wedding.
After hearing Sidai's description, the couple and their pastor understood the whole story in the end. The three parties confronted one another and finally found the key to the problem.
In addition to Sidai himself, there were two other key figures in this farce, who were Sidai's ex-wife and old lover, as well as the biological mothers of the newlyweds. Both of them admitted that they had a relationship with Sidai back then, but obviously, they didn't know each other, so the former rivals became relatives accidentally.
More importantly, they had been concealing the question of "who is the child's biological father" as their children grew up. The groom Jotham always thought that his biological father had died in a car accident. The bride Anne thought that her stepfather was the biological father from a young age. She hadn't known that her biological father was someone else until she grew up. For these reasons, the groom and the bride failed to discover their kinship in time.
The wedding suddenly stopped, and the relatives and friends of the couple were left shocked and confused. To prevent the "brother and sister love" farce from embarrassing the family, the pastor found an excuse, saying that the wedding was canceled because the couple violated the rules of "pre-marital purity".
Compared with the wedding guests, the innocent couple and their mothers suffered much more. After the bridegroom knew the truth about his origin, he rushed out of the church and drove away, while his mother kept crying. The bride was also overwhelmed and taken away by her mother and relatives.
After experiencing such a dramatic event, the pastor signed with complicated feelings,
"Parents really can't let this happen."
"If you have illegitimate children, please tell them the truth about their biological parents. "
"Don't fool them with things like 'car accident', it was really unwise."
In a word, it was the mistakes of the parents' generation that led to this "brother and sister love" farce. This couple was both unfortunate and innocent, which made people feel very distressed...
