EPISODE 11
Veronica called up Princess to check on her but she wasn’t picking up.
“Its unlike her, she’s not picking my calls, Veronica told her mom..
“Maybe she’s busy, what makes you think she’s not alright?” Theresa asked..
“Nothing but I’m just feeling sad for her, its almost 5 years mommy, her first child would have been Marvel age but her husband is already bringing another woman to the house. Men are so impatient, Veronica said..
“They only care about themselves that’s all, and most of them only go into marriage just for children. If you don’t give it to them and especially a male child, my dear you are finished in their hands, use yourself as an example” Theresa said.
“I was even able to give birth o, what if I didn’t? Ah God please help my friend out of this” Veronica said and Joy walked in.
“Mommy are we leaving this morning? She asked.
“Erm I wanted to but then your aunty isn’t here yet, won’t you wait for her?” Veronica asked.
“No problem we will wait for her” Joy replied..
“Where’s Marvel? Veronica asked.
“She’s playing, Joy said holding the baby hands and left the room to meet her sister.
………….
That morning the doctor checked Debbie and confirmed she was good to go, “thank you, I hope we are not owing a dime? Debbie asked.
“You’re all good, thank you, the doctor replied.
“Thank you too, They all said and left the room.
Getting to the door they met with Gideon coming and he smiled at Debbie giving her a peck in the presence of everybody.
“Good morning ma, he greeted Sandra.
“Morning, are you not that Prisca friend that Came yesterday or so?” Sandra asked and Debbie rolled her eyes.
“Erm yes I am but she’s not my friend but Debbie. I’ll drop you all at home” Gideon said.
“Really? That’s so sweet of you” , Debbie said holding hands with him and left while Prisca couldn’t believe her eyes.
“Who is that guy? Sandra asked her as they walked behind them.
“Honestly we don’t know him ma, he came to me first but I never gave him any attention, looks like he took it to Debbie”, she replied.
“And she quickly collected the attention that few hours they met? he is already giving her muah in my presence, hey God” Sandra exclaimed as they reached his car and he opened the door for them while Debbie took the front seat with him..
“Don’t worry I’ll take a cab home, Prisca said.
“Why are you behaving like this or are you angry?” Debbie quickly asked.
“Angry for what? If she wants to take a cab that’s her choice, in fact i am taking the cab home too” Sandra said closing the door.
“What’s the problem ma? Is it bad i am offering help to take you all home?’ Gideon asked.
“Sorry i don’t accept help from strangers, Debbie get down from there let’s go home” Sandra said.
“Mommy what kind of embarrassment is this? This is my friend you are talking to this way and its not fair at all” Debbie said.
“A friend you met how many hours ago? Get down here let’s go” Sandra shouted.
“Ma its fine she can go with him, Prisca said.
‘This is all your fault Prisca, what’s there to enter the car let’s go home rather you’ve decided to bring up a drama to embarrass us this way thank you”, Debbie said.
“OK OK I may be a stranger but my intentions are real, I’m not a bad person and i don’t understand why I’m this pushed off this way. People get to meet strangers who end up helping them out or end up as life partner you can never tell. We are in the 21st century i think we should evolve too as the world is evolving, such life won’t take us far if we remain stuck in the 90s mentality, we need to be free and get to meet new people everyday”, Gideon said and Sandra began to clap her hands.
“So it’s me you are calling old mentality and speaking long grammar for ba?” Sandra asked.
“No you are misunderstanding me ma, Gideon said.
“okay i admit this is all my fault but I’m so sorry this whole mess is out because of me. Please ma can you just enter the car and he’ll drive you home, as for me I don’t take lift the way you think and i don’t want to, its my decision and i hope you all accept it, see you at home Debbie”, Prisca said and left while Debbie angrily looked at her.
……………
Princess checked her phone and saw the missed calls from Veronica, she heaved and called her back.
“Hey babe where are you? Veronica asked.
“I’m in church, she calmly replied..
“Doing what? Sorry i mean its morning and i know you cant be in church and besides, today isn’t Sunday”, Veronica said and Princess sniffed.
“I found out the cause to my problem and i have to battle it out here, i just hope God answers me” Princess said.
“Honey are you okay? Can I come around?” Veronica asked.
“I’ll be fine, I’m so sorry i won’t be able to accompany you back home. Ill be staying here for 7 days, its my decision and i hope you understand”, Princess said..
“Oh my God! So you mean i won’t see you for 7 days?” Veronica asked and she smiled.
“Take care of yourself and your family alright, I’ll talk to you later” Princess said.
“Please take care too and don’t be too harsh on yourself please, bye, Veronica said and the line went dead.
……………….
Prisca arrived home and saw Debbie was already home and Gideon was gone,
“what was the meaning of that Prisca? What’s all this” Debbie shouted standing on her way..
“What rubbish is this? You really think I run after any guy that goes with four legs huh? I am not you okay deal with it! Prisca shouted back.
“Is that what is paining you because he snubbed you right? You stink with hatred and jealousy and it sucks! Debbie shouted.
“Oh please I have better things to jealous about, certainly not you and will never be you” Prisca said.
“Enough of this! It shouldn’t be because of one stupid guy you both will be shouting here” Sandra said coming between them..
“Look here Debbie I think I’ve had enough of all your rubbish, if your nose smells and crave for attention on guys that drives on cars take me out of it, face your broken face for once and forget about guys” Prisca shouted and turned to leave.
“Damn you bastard you jealous j**k” Debbie shouted back and Cynthia went in to check on them hearing the voices coming out from the house.
“You bitch you’ve come to take more pictures of me right”! Debbie asked pushing her down and attempted to fight her.
“What is wrong with you Debbie! Sandra shouted holding her.
“Leave Me alone, she’s the one that linked out my pictures so I’ll be mocked”, Debbie said.
“What are you saying and is this how ungrateful you are? I brought in help here to take you out of here, how will I know someone took pictures of you? Why blaming it on me? Or is this how you can repay me?” Cynthia said and Debbie looked at her breathing hard.
“Please my daughter I am very sorry about this, she’s not in her right senses, the hit on her head affected her medulla. Just give her some time she’ll come around okay, I’m sure she will be completely healed”, Sandra pleaded cleaning her clothes.
“No ma don’t do that, its okay I actually came to see her but it seem I came at the wrong time. I wish her a quick recovery then”, Cynthia said and left while Debbie sat down on the bed ignoring the way her mom looked at her.
“Yea go ahead and scold or shout on me stop looking at me that way”, Debbie said.
“Are you not ashamed of yourself? Look at the way you pushed that girl” Sandra said.
“Calling me a mad person in her presence is that not enough huh?” Debbie asked.
“But thats the truth, you need to check yourself now before its too late”, Sandra said and she sighed going to the pot to get something to eat.
“Isn’t that the food Prisca your enemy prepared? You still shamelessly want to eat it ba?” Sandra asked folding her hand to look at her.
“If she doesn’t like it that way she can go to hell for all I care” Debbie dropped.
……………..
“Mommy isn’t aunty coming anymore?” Marvel asked.
“Uhm let’s go dress up, she won’t be able to make it” Veronica replied.
“But I thought she’s coming, she promised to get me something today, Joy said..
“Maybe next time, let’s go, Theresa said taking the kids to prepare them.
Minutes later Veronica came out with the kids while Theresa held a bag..
“When you know the house is in peace you can come pick the rest okay” Theresa said.
“Are you not coming with us? Joy asked.
“Don’t worry honey, I don’t want to see your father yet, stay safe okay”, Theresa said pecking her grand children.
“But you’ll visit soon right? At least for our sake please” Veronica said.
“Don’t worry I will, drive safe okay” Theresa said putting the children in the car and placed the baby bed properly at the back..
“Look after your brother okay, and please drive slowly”, Theresa said and closed the door while they waved at her.
…………….
Princess husband noticed his wife absence at home and got a call from the pastor to meet him in church which he did.
He was told everything but he only laughed at them believing nothing,
“do you think this funny?” Princess asked.
“I can’t believe you can do all of this to believe one kind of prophesy or whatever just to stop the arrangements going on. You can’t do anything about this okay now stop this madness and come home” He said.
” you really think this is a joke and you don’t care about this at all right? Gosh I shouldn’t have let you know in the first place”, Princess said.
“I want to see you home immediately, every fasting or prayer whatever ends now, don’t keep me waiting outside”! He said getting up and left while the Pastor only sat quietly watching the show..
“I’m so sorry about this pastor, he doesn’t believe in all this things”, Princess said..
“It obvious and such things will sound stupid to him, what are you going to do now?” He asked.
“I won’t back down now, I’ll continue this prayer at home. I only wanted to do it here so I wont be distracted”, she said.
“God can still answer your prayer anywhere, you can call me on phone so I’ll pray with you, he said.
“Thank you so much I’ll do just that, she said taking her bag and left.
………………
Veronica arrived and horned at the gate, Paul looked at Matthew,
“are you expecting someone? He asked and Matthew shook his head.
“I’ll go check who it is, Paul said and left while Matthew continued with the dinning he was setting with his heart beating fast.
Paul opened the gate and the car drove in while Matthew peeped to see who it was, his heart leaped when he saw his wife car drove in.
“They came back! He said and hurried out.
…………
Prisca arrived at her mom place with a long face, “what’s the problem? Esther asked her.
“Mom I’m just tired of everything, that girl is pissing me off every moment” Prisca said.
“Has it come to that?” Esther asked and she heaved.
“Any food please?” She asked.
“Yes go serve yourself, her mom replied.
“Thank you, Prisca said going to the kitchen……..
After eating Debbie began dressing up and a call came on her phone, “he’s here, she said happily to her mom and picked up.
“Hello dear, she picked up.
“Yea am almost there, I’ll give you a horn” Gideon said.
“Alright see ya, Debbie said laughing happily while Sandra folded her hand looking at her as she applied a little make up and wore a face cap.
“At least I’m good to go, how do I look?” She asked her mom.
“You are going out Deborah? No rest? Her mom asked.
“You people don’t want me to stay in this house peacefully so let me go out where I’ll see joy, you can call your Darling Prisca to keep you company”, Debbie replied.
“Don’t regret this o because I know you will, you don’t even know that guy”, Sandra said..
“Does it matter? Same way I don’t know my father but I haven’t died right? just leave me alone to do my thing”! Debbie shouted on her.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Sandra said.
“Same way your parents always warned you, you think I don’t know about your history huh? Your best friend told me everything so swallow it up and let me be” Debbie said shocking her mom and Sandra stood up from where she sat and held her.
“That may be true but will you go the same way I did? What use did it do to me Debbie? I learnt My mistakes and I’m warning you to stop this lifestyle” Sandra said and Debbie smiled.
“I am not going the same way you did mom, you went after village small small boys but I am going after rich men capable to take us out of poverty, now that’s the difference between us and I can never be like you. At least I didn’t drop out in secondary school” Debbie said and they heard a horn outside.
“OK bye, Debbie said and left while Sandra watched and began to shed tears.
