CHARLES AND HIS TWIN SISTER(18)
Ma I need water.. Water please.. Rachael whispered, panting heavily after retreating from the toilet.
Benita rushed over to get her a sachet water from the fridge and handed it to her. They escorted her back to the living room immediately she finished drinking. Uche came over looking astonished after noticing her predicament.
Honey this Rachael’s issue is becoming worse everyday by day eh! What kind wahala be this eh! She just threw up everything she managed to eat today. She still needs to take her medication and injections as usual, but now she refuses to eat. You know we can’t fórce her to eat… Mrs. Benita said, her voice filled with pity and sadness.
Sister please eat abeg. You know you’re the only family I have. Please eat abeg. Even eat my own join….Charles pleaded with her, carefully placing his portion of the akara inside the same dark nylon as her sister’s and setting it in front of her.
Sir there’s a cure but mummy don’t want us to try it. There’s a cure.. I’m not eating anything… Rachael cried out again, refusing to eat.
Ma which cure is she talking about? You mean there’s something that can cure my sister?
I’m still not getting it. Wait o, Is it the spirituous soap you told me while I was driving? Uche intervened, sitting close to her on the couch.
Yes. Charles just listen. Those are not the things of the Lord. Jesus said in the book of John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me… For your sister to be permanently healed, she needs to follow the ways of Jesus. Not fetish things. Not devilish things, not things that will take you away from Christ. Do you understand?
I’ve seen testimonies of pastors healing the sick, the blind, even people with diseases that are worse than yours All with the help of Jesus Christ. All you need is to believe in him.
Rachel got up and quickly criêd to her room and locked herself inside.
This girl sef. Uche abeg help me talk sense enter her head. I don tire make I go sleep.. Benita said, pulled her top revealing only her black bra, exhaled and stormed off.
Later that night, Rachel jolted up from her room at night to meet Uche in his room, crying and looking so terrified.
When Uche inquired, she said she had a terrible dream where she saw five men burying her alive. She described how the sand had almost reached her neck before she abruptly woke up from the terrifying nightmare.
God forbid!
That will never be your portion in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!
No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper….
Amen!🙏🏾
Amen!🙏🏾
Uche prayed with her alongside with his bible, gave her some word’s of encouragement and later escorted her back to her room to continue her sleep.
After the church service had ended, Benita approached their pastor and informed him about the woman who mentioned a peculiar soap that could supposedly assist Rachel to combat the virus. The pastor immediately dismissed the idea, cautioning them to distance themselves from such a person with malicious intentions. He emphasized that only God has the power to bring about true healing without any ulterior motives or requests for anything in return.
Honey, I told you. Those people are not to be trusted. Charles and Co, I told you people but Ona no won hear.
Uche was still contemplating whether to buy the pastor’s idea or reach out to the woman. They later left after some prayers.
That same week, Wednesday precisely Rachel was rushed to the general hospital by Uche alongside the others. Her usual destination to receive regular updates on her health status. However, she received distressing news that her health was deteriorating, and she was on the verge of exiting the asymptomatic stage. The doctors warned that without proper care, her condition could progress to AIDS. They emphasized that her survival would depend on the grace of God and the seriousness with which she took her medication. They also inquired about her adherence to the prescribed drug regimen and whether she had been maintaining a healthy diet.
Yes she usually take her drugs but This thing is getting out of hand. Uncle, We need to look for any means to save my sister. I don’t want her to dîe…. Look at my sister oh God. Charles criêd out, gazing at Rachael’s body through the window as she laid down flat on the bed with drip over her body.
Benita sat by the corner confused and sad.
Madam there’s nothing to worry about. Provided she’s taking her medications seriously… The nurse reassured as she walked up to her and squat in front of her.
Nurse you won’t understand. This girl is too young for this. Just take a look at her whole body, oh God!…
“Benita, please come here!” Uche called out urgently, gesturing for her, held her and took her to a secluded corner. His face bore a heavy expression of sadness.
Yes honey? Hope it’s not what I’m thinking!
Just Listen. You argue too much shoo.. I want to…………
