PREDICITON (EPISODE 12)

MIKE: I rushed here as soon as you called me, what's the matter? Hope all is well. How is the baby?

MMA: The baby is fine and I am fine but there is something I really need your help with. Its a matter of life and death.

MIKE: Whats the matter?

MMA: My dad o, my dad has decided that I'll go for a medical test to prove that Pascal is the father of the baby in my womb.

MIKE: Your dad? Who told him about the pregnancy? What makes him think Pascal is the one responsible?

MMA: Its a long story, but I can't explain that to you right now.

MIKE: What do you want me to do for you? How can I be of help?

MMA: I know it's too much to ask of, but, I want to tell my dad that you're the father of my baby.

MIKE: Huh?

MMA: Please MIKE! *About to go on her knees*

MIKE: #Recalls the conversation he once had with his Dad.#PA MIKE: I want you to take responsibility for the child. I want you to pose as the father, even if its TRUE you're truly innocent, i want you to appear guilty.#To Himself# I think this is best opportunity to make use of, now I don't have to worth about destroying her marriage. Everything is working positive in my favour.

MMA: MIKE!!! Can you help me out this one last time? Please? There is no one else I can run to. Pascal doesn't want anything to do with me, he's been cheating all these while, I just recently found out through my sister. Even if he accepts to take care of the baby and get married to me, I can't live with someone like him. You're my only hope right now to save myself the shame and embarrassment when it's known that he is not the father of the baby. I...

MIKE: *Hush her* Shhhh, Dont speak any further, As long as it's gonna make you happy. Just tell your dad I'm the one responsible for the pregnancy, I'll gladly accept it.

MMA: Thanks a lot MIKE. Thank you so so much. Ill get back to you, wanna rush home now before my absence is noticed.

***As she walked home...***

MMA: #To herself# Cant believe he would say YES. After everything I've done to him, after all the pain I've put him through. After hurting him, breaking his heart, he's still being there for me.

DAVID: I'm still confused bro. I really don't know how to go about it. Which other way is there than to rape her?

GUY 1#: But you said you don't want to rape her. You want it to be willingly.

DAVID: *Staring at VICTORY and MMA as they pass by at a distance* There she goes...

GUY 1#: Wait a minute, is that the girl?

DAVID: Yea, the fair one. The other one is her sister. I've been...

GUY 1#: Guy wait! I know that girl.

DAVID: Victory?

GUY 1#: No, not Victory, her sister. My friend once asked me to eradicate her pregnancy.

DAVID: The elder sister ?

GUY 1#: Yes. Her name is MMA.

DAVID:  Her elder sister was pregnant?

GUY 1#: I'm telling you she is pregnant right now. We aborted the plan due to the fact that she is carrying a male child in her womb.

DAVID: That's Good News.

GUY 1#: How do you mean?

DAVID: I can use her sister against her. I can use her elder sister to manipulate her into sleeping with me willingly.

GUY 1#: How would you do that?

DAVID: Ill just threaten to expose her sister's pregnancy if she fails to let me sleep with her.

GUY 1#: And what makes you think she would give in just like that? What gives you the impression that she gives a damn about what happens to her sister.

DAVID: Just watch and see. I know that girl. She is the most emotional girl I've ever seen, she would do anything I ask for just to protect her sister's image and dignity.

MIKE: Hey... How Far?

OLUCHI: I'm fine and you?

MIKE: I'm Great. Please give me MTN AIRTIME $1,300. *Hands her some money*

OLUCHI: *Hands him the airtime* MIKE, Dami asked me to deliver this note to you. *Hands the note over him as well*

MIKE: Thanks. *After some seconds* Oluchi, I'll like to talk to you about something that happened when we were since in high school and I want you to promise to be totally honest with me.

OLUCHI: Go ahead.

MIKE: Is it True you slept with Corper Kenny?

OLUCHI: Jesus! Micheal! *Moves closer and in a whisper* Where did you hear that? Who told you that?

MIKE: Who told me or where I heard it isn't relevant, what's more important is that you tell me the truth and just the truth.

OLCUHI: No, I never slept with Corper Kenny, I've never slept with any Corper in school.

MIKE: Swear it on your life. I know what I overheard you guys talking, I know what went on afterwards.

OLUCHI: If you're so sure of what you heard, then why are you still making inquiries?

MIKE: I never said I'm sure about What I was heard. I just wanna verify the past and clear these bad thoughts and impressions that I have of you.

OLUCHI: Kenny RAPED me.

MIKE: Why didnt you scream?

OLUCHI: I can't. He threatened to fail all my papers in his subject if i refused to let him have his way with me. His subject is very important, there is no way i can ever graduate without a credit in his subject.

MIKE: *Sighed* I'm sorry.

OLUCHI: He took away my virginity, he is the first person to ever sleep with me. I figured it'd be painful if i choose to resist so...

MIKE: Its Alright. Speak No Further. Thanks a lot for telling me the Truth. I heard you are getting married to AUSTIN very soon.

OLUCHI: Yes, thats True.

MIKE: You know he doesnt love you, right?

OLUCHI: Yea i do. But i love him.

MIKE: You placing a risky bet. Once married, he practically owns you and can do whatever he pleases with you. Hope you know that.

OLUCHI: Yes. But i trust Austin, he may be violent and harsh on the outside, but deep within, i know he is a loving and caring guy.

MIKE: Hmm. Thanks anyways. I guess we'll see around.

OLUCHI: Please dont forget to read the note.

MIKE: I wont.

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

PA AUSTIN: I saw our future daughter-in-law yesterday on my way back from a meeting.

MA AUSTIN: What does she look like?

PA AUSTIN: Dont you know that fair tall pretty adorable girl that always sits in front row of the church with her family every sunday?

MA AUSTIN: Yea i know her.

PA AUSTIN: She is the one.

MA AUSTIN: You must be Joking.

PA AUSTIN: What do you mean by "You must be Joking"?

MA AUSTIN: She is due to get married in like 2 weeks from now. I was among the few women called for the small wedding planned for her.

PA AUSTIN: so...

MA AUSTIN: ....so its not possible.

PA AUSTIN: Yes its possible. She is pregnant for my son and ill have to claim my grandson.

MA AUSTIN: And destroy their marriage?

PA AUSTIN: Of course not. I never said i'm going for the lady, i said i'm going for the baby. If he truly loves her, then the fact she is pregnant for another wouldnt change a thing.

MA AUSTIN: It would change everything.

PA AUSTIN: *Bia* i didnt tell you so that we'll start arguing or debating over whats good and whats bad. She is pregnant for my son and its a sin to lie to your husband or husband-to-be. How sure are you that marriage would break up when he finds out he is not the biological father of that baby in her womb? Its better to open up now its still in the starting stage than openning up when its already past this stage.

MA AUSTIN: You're making a big mistake.

PA AUSTIN: Its not really up to me, but up to Austin to decide. His decision determines my next course of action.
