PREDICTION (EPISODE 4)

I just returned from school, mehn, its been a hectic day, trecking miles under the hot scorching sun, the public transport is limited and very expensive due to lack of fuel. I entered my room and locked the door behind me, took off my clothes, entered the shower, in a few minutes, i was lying on the bed. "Shit! Victory asked to see me", i thought as i was just about to fall asleep. "She's not home anyways", i mumbled as i started talking to myself. If only i had the chance to go back into the past and make my choices all over again. Just like i'm warning her, they also warned me but i was too stubborn and determined to live my life to the fullest, if only i had listened. I wish Victory can just see the dangers ahead.

Some Months Ago...

MIKE: MMA, Why are you doing this to me? What did i do wrong? Even if you dont wanna stay, even if you dont wanna date me anymore, at least, tell me where i went wrong, you owe me at least that.

MMA: I'm sorry. I cant give you that closure you deeply seek. Just accept that its over between us, believe that if we are meant to be together, nothing is going to change that.

MIKE: Thats what people say, if things are meant to be, nothing is going to change that no matter what we do. But they are wrong. The fact you are given a prophesy that you become something doesnt mean you would eventually become that thing no matter how you live your life, its left to you to work towards that thing.

MMA: Mike, you're just making this more difficult and hard on yourself. I'm trying my best here to ease the pain this would impact on you but you're not making it any easier.

MIKE: Just yesterday, you swore never to hurt me, you swore never to break my heart, why this now? What did i do wrong? Where did i go wrong?

MMA: *Arghhhh* You're making this so so complicated. *Walks out of the room*.

Mike called on her, but she ignored him and walked away.

---------------------------------------

PASCAL: *Laughs* You think say na Joke? I bet you, her sister would fall for me in no time, shebi she talk say she wan flex life, well, i can assist her with that.

TONY: Guy, what you're trying to do is very risky, trust me, if your fiancee should find out, it can mean the end for the both of you and there is no way you can lie yourself out of it.

PASCAL: See this guy O, who do you think MMA would believe? Her highly trusted husband-to-be who has never cheated on her with another woman or her junior sister who is set out to explore and enjoy life.

TONY: You are taking a great risk, i hope you know that?

PASCAL: Life is all about RISKS.

TONY: Do you even love this girl?

PASCAL: Truth is, i dont know. At first, i never loved her, it was just a game, the usual game we guys play, approach a lady not with the intent of dating her but just to see how strong her resistance would be. But she was somehow easy, she left her boyfriend whom she claimed she loved, just to be with me.

TONY: If she was that easy to win over, how come you never sleep with her since then? How many months now?

PASCAL: Say she dey easy to win no mean say she dey easy to chop o. In the process of trying to have my way, things escalated and here we are. I promised myself to get in between those legs no matter what and if marriage is what its gonna take, i dont mind taking that leap of Faith.

TONY: Pascal !!! Pascalito !!! I trust you na. But this your game might end up being your last, you know what marriage means, right? Its a once in a lifetime experience.

PASCAL: When you dont give her much attention like you're supposed to, she gets it from somewhere else, and thats Cheating. Thats enough reason to file a divorce suit against her. But that would be when i've had my fill of her.

TONY: Honestly, i totally underestimated what you are capable of. You indeed are the best among us all. Pascalito!

PASCAL: Guy, just relax, watch and learn. Besides, we both know there is no way on earth i'm gonna be faithful to any woman, not after Charity broke my heart.

TONY: You neednt take the pain out on other women, the decision was hers and hers alone.

PASCAL: Thats the thing about having a shattered heart, you just have to make someone take the blame.

MMA'S ROOM.

VICTORY: I'm sorry i didnt listen to you. I just had this feeling that...

MMA: ...that...

VICTORY: The thing is, i was actually Jealous of you. Mum and Dad has always been proud of you, you've always been their favourite, this perfect daughter that they wished for, you always had good grades in school, always religious, always the one they choose, and now you're getting married. I Know shouldnt be Jealous, but...

MMA: *Draws her close and hugs her* I understand. OK? It aint your fault, its totally natural. But the truth is, i am the one Jealous of you, not because you choose to flex and explore life, but because this is your moment, and you have no idea how much i can give just to get back my past. I've made a lot of mistakes, and i wish you can see what life is truly all about. I havent been the sister you thought i was, i havent been that perfect daughter they all think me to be...

VICTORY: *Sniffing, cleaning her eyes* How do you mean?

MMA: Can i TRUST you?

VICTORY: Of course you can.

MMA: Alright. Victory, i'm PREGNANT.

VICTORY: Pregnant? Pascal slept with you? i thought...

MMA: No No, not Pascal, he isnt the father of my baby, Austin is the one responsible.

VICTORY: Austin? Church Fellowship Austin?

MMA: Yea. The Pastor's son.

---------------------------------------

After A Church Meeting...

AUSTIN: O boy! if i tell you say since last week, i never sleep better sleep, you no go believe me.

TUNDE: Wetin happen?

AUSTIN: MMA issue O. That girl dey give me sleepless nights.

TUNDE: I thought you have settled the whole score with her.

AUSTIN: Not really. She doesnt want to abort the baby, and to make matters worse, she decided to tell her husband about the pregnancy.

TUNDE: What?

AUSTIN: Guy, i'm confused to the core. Its just a matter of time before i run mad.

TUNDE: Did you do what i asked you to do?

AUSTIN: Yes i did.

TUNDE: And what did she say?

AUSTIN: She said she cant marry me.

TUNDE: Mehn, this girl na bad market.

AUSTIN: Help me out here. What do you think i can do next?

TUNDE: I swear, me no know O. But if you have the guts, i can suggest something out of the ordinary.

AUSTIN: Tunde, i am ready to do anything right now to exornorate myself. Anything at all. Just tell me.

TUNDE: We can hire some thugs to kidnap her, drug her and abort the baby while she is unconcious, by the time she wakes up, she wont notice a thing.

AUSTIN: Jesus!!! Tunde!!!

TUNDE: What! Right now, thats the only solution i can think of. Its either you grow some balls and do it or...

AUSTIN: I'm in. As long as she wont be killed.

TUNDE: Alright.

AUSTIN: So when do we...

TUNDE: Dont bother yourself. All you need to do is provide the money, ill sort every other thing out for you.
