PREDICTION (EPISODE 6)

She Narrates...

It began when your grandmum was critically ill, there was no chance of survival.

DOCTOR: I'm sorry sir, but there is nothing humanly or medically possible anyone can do to assist her. She has just 2 weeks to live.

MAN': Doctor! If its money, i would pay, if its an organ, ill glady donate, but please, dont let my wife die. I cant raise this boy all by myself. *Admist Tears*

DOCTOR: I truly am sorry sir. *Walks out of the ward*

BOY': Dad, whats the matter?

MAN: Its nothing. *Trying to hide the tears forming in his eyes, just then, a loud scream was heard in another warden. The man rushed out to see what the matter was.*

PATIENT: I can see! I can see! God be praised! God be praised! *Running helter skelter*

MAN: *Asking one of the doctors around* Whats wrong with him?

DOCTOR: Oh, his eyes was permanently damaged, there was no way he would see again, after series of surgeries on him, it was concluded that he cant see anymore, until this man of God visited the hospital this morning, and the u believeable happened.

MAN; Where is this man of God?

DOCTOR: He left minutes ago.

*After hours of tracking, the man finally found the pastor.*

PASTOR: Its not in my power to heal or save your wife. All help comes from the lord, your wife's life depends on your faith.

MAN: Pastor, help me talk to God. I havent stepped foot inside a church for the past 3 years. There is no way he is going to listen to me.

PASTOR: He is a merciful God, you can give your life to him now and he'll answer you.

********

MA AUSTIN: Your grandfather promised to dedicate your father to God's mission if God should heal your grandmother.

AUSTIN: Let me guess. God did, right?

MA AUSTIN: Yes, God did. So your father was dedicated to the church, from that day onwards, he has spent his entire life serving God in the church, forsaking his dreams of being a pilot. He never had a chance to live his life for himself, his freedom, his whole life was snatched away from him. His whole life, spent trying to please his father, his own happiness never mattered to anyone, they appreciated his sacrifice, but it was never from his heart.

AUSTIN: Hmm

MA AUSTIN: Your father is a good man, a good pastor, but this wasnt what he is created for, so he can never be perfect at it. He goes around with this flame of Anger and regret of his past decisions.

AUSTIN: I guess ill just to make him know that the fact he was forced to live his life for someone else doesnt mean i have to do the same.

MA AUSTIN: Ill love to see you try.

The other boys assisted him and carried MMA back to the cab they brought her in. They all believed she was unconcious, but she was fully awake listening to them talk. "Who else wants to terminate this pregnancy so desperately except AUSTIN?, Can he really go to this length?", she muttered to herself as she laid in the backseat of the cab.

DAVID: Why are you acting this way?

VICTORY: What do you take me for?

DAVID: What do you mean?

VICTORY: You know just exactly what i mean.

DAVID: If i did, would i ask you?

VICTORY: Whats up between you and Funmi?

DAVID: Me and Funmi? I already told you.

VICTORY: Told me what?

DAVID: Funmi is just my friend.

VICTORY: Really?

DAVID: Yup. Why would i lie to you?

VICTORY: You take me for a fool, right? I heard every single word you guys said the other day. You think i dont understand YORUBA?

DAVID: Sweetheart, it isnt what you think.

VICTORY: Oh, Yes, it is exactly what i think. Mtcheeew!

TOBI: Why not just rape her?

DAVID: No, not this girl, i dont want to do it forcefully, even if its against her will, i wont like to use force.

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

MMA: Its a BOY!

VICTORY: Are you serious?

MMA: Yea. 100% sure.

VICTORY: Wow! Thats Wow! We have no male in the family, i know that would be OK even if its out of wedlock, but mum would never forgive you.

MMA: Something happened today after i went for the test. I was kipnapped by some thugs paid to eradicate my pregnancy.

VICTORY: How? Who else knows about your pregnancy?

MMA: Austin is the only one besides us that knows i'm pregnant.

VICTORY: He is the father of the child so why would he try to kill it, besides, he doesnt have the guts to go to the extent of risking your life just to cover his tracks.

MMA: I dont know for sure if he's responsible, but the culprit sure cares a lot that its a male child.

VICTORY: Who else do you suspect?

MMA: I dont know. I can say. But what do you think? Should i tell dad about it now? or keep it a secret? In a few weeks, everyone would know i'm pregnant, my tummy is getting bigger. What do you suggest?

VICTORY: Suduce your husband into sleeping with you, that way, you can nail the pregnancy on him saying he is the one responsible for it.

MMA: Thats Madness. The baby is more than a month old and i'll be sleeping with him now? Check the time range.

VICTORY: I never said you should pretend he is the one responsible, i said you should impose the pregnancy on him.

MMA: As in, ACUSE?

VICTORY: Exactly.

MMA: You're crazy. A guy that has always loved and cared for me, a guy that put my happiness before any other thing, you want me to forcefully make him accept the responsibility of another man?

VICTORY: If only you know the kind of man he truly is, you would have done worse than this to him.

MMA: How do you mean?

VICTORY: Just think about what i said. *Walks out of the room*
