two weeks after forcing her into marriage the man can still not have his way with his wife bcos the bride wont succum. he seek the advice of his friends who encouraged him to use force and they helped him. they need to celebrate their victory asking her to cook for them. already battered and wounded did the cooking with -tive aroma that sent them beyond. mercy Lord.
