It was sheer excitement, drama, and eventually humour when a St James woman recently turned up at an engagement party in Mona, St Andrew, with all intentions of stopping the proceedings, thinking her lover was about to propose to another woman.

Information reaching THE WEEKEND STAR is that the jealous woman created quite a scene last Saturday evening when she hurled stones and bottles of urine at a premises where the party was being held, while demanding that her 'matie' as well as her boyfriend show themselves and face their judgement.

The woman had somehow received word that her lover had secretly made plans to 'pop the question to one of his ex-lovers, who resides abroad, but was believed to be in the island on vacation.

The 30-odd-year-old woman would afterwards find out all her 'huff and puff' was for nothing, as her lover was only helping a friend with preparations for the party, and the woman she was worried about had left the island two days earlier.

The woman somehow got information that her man was going behind her back and planning to propose to another woman, when in fact he was only helping with the party," explained Rudy, a 23-year-old woman, who claimed to have witnessed the incident.

THE WEEKEND STAR heard that the jealous woman turned up at the premises off Mona Road sometime around 9 p.m. in a taxi which she chartered from Montego Bay. Realising she could not get beyond the closed gates, she immediately began hurling objects she brought along with her, as well as a string of curse words.

She soon grabbed the attention of almost 20 other persons who were already inside and when they sought to investigate, the truth was revealed.

"To how di place set up, everybody roun' a di back a di house, away from di gate and di gate lock. A hear we hear glass a bruk up and when wi look, wi see seh a somebody a fling tings pon di house, all pon di housetop," another witness explained.

THE WEEKEND STAR was further told that the woman was confronted by her lover who also was already at the party. He was reportedly responsible for the night's music, and was attending to it when he was alerted that he was being summoned at the gate by his seemingly enraged girlfriend.

The man is said to have braved the situation and confronted his girlfriend, as well as her allegations.

Thanks to the help of others at the party, he was able to prove his case and calm down the woman who simply said "Oh yu lucky" before leaving in the waiting taxi.

During a visit to the community earlier this week, a handful of residents who claimed to hearing of the situation only chose to make fun of it, while sources at the Matilda's Corner Police Station said they were not aware of it, nor have they seen a formal report.

"Thank God she a nuh police," one woman said before adding, "a real woman, a smart woman, woulda do some investigation first."
