WILD OBSESSION
Episode 4
****
Sarah got back to school with her mind all made up to change for good.
She knew that her solitude was one of the things that triggered her to watch those videos. She decided to make new friends who would be checking on her.
She went for midweek fellowship. After the activities, she walked up to those brethren who were following her up when she newly joined. They were talking to some new members, so she waited.
A few minutes later, one of the brethren walked up to her.
“Sister Sarah, are you waiting for someone?”
“Yes, I’m actually waiting for you guys.”
“Hope all is well.”
“I need help.”
The lady got close to her and asked her the kind of help she needed.
“I need to get serious with my studies. I failed some courses last semester and my dad said he won’t pay my school fees again if I don’t pass.”
“I’m sorry about that. We will help you.”
Later on, the lady spoke with a few other brethren and related to them Sarah’s problem. They promised to help.
From that day onward, Sarah drafted a reading timetable. The brethren visit her regularly and she goes out to read with them.
As time went on, she became friends with some of them.
Sarah had so far improved on her social life. She goes out to study and do other school and fellowship-related activities.
Most times, she only goes to her room to eat and sleep.
Sarah occupied herself with all those activities and she hardly saw those videos.
One evening, her phone rang. When she picked up the phone, she discovered it was Frank, the son of her father’s friend.
After their discussion, they agreed to see each other the following day.
Frank was the one managing his father’s multi-million interior decoration company.
Both families have known for a couple of years and they believe that their children can marry, to keep the relationship going.
Later that evening, Sarah called her mother and told her about Frank’s call. She was so excited.
“My daughter, Frank had already told us that he wants to marry you and we have accepted. He is a nice man and he can take good care of you. So play along.”
Sarah had no option but to agree with her mother.
So the following evening, Frank came as they agreed. He parked his car in front of Sarah’s hostel and called her to come out.
Sarah quickly went out to meet him. When she got to where he parked, he came down from the car. They exchanged pleasantries and gazed at each other in admiration.
“Frank has grown to be a very handsome man, he’s so cute,” Sarah thought.
They sat in the car and were discussing.
“I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Sarah was quiet but blushing.
“I want to marry you.”
Sarah was smiling.
“Say something, please. Would you marry me?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you so much.”
After their discussion, he gave her the things he bought for her and some money. She thanked him and he left.
From that day, they started talking on the phone.
A few months later, Sarah was already in her final year. She studied harder to pass her courses and the ones she carried over.
Even though Frank never visited her again, they kept in touch over the phone.
Later on, her struggles paid off. She graduated with a good grade and in no time, she proceeded to service.
After her service year, Sarah and Frank got married.
Their wedding was as special as Sarah expected it to be.
Both families were happy about the everlasting union that they had created.
After the celebration, Frank and Sarah went to their new home to live as husband and wife.
