_{12. INT. NGOZI’S RESIDENCE. DAY.}

_{NGOZI in her BATHROOM, washing her FACE and after which she wipes off the DROPLETS OF WATER with a sparkling WHITE TOWEL and comes out, going to her DRESSING TABLE and picks up her MOBILE PHONE to call KEN, who’s still sleeping and wraps his arms around LUCY.}

_KEN

_{Who’s it?}

_NGOZI

_{Hi Ken! Good morning, it’s me Ngozi; don’t you have my number on your phone anymore?}

_KEN

_{Morning, I do, just that you woke me up.}

_NGOZI

_{Sorry about that but I thought I told you earlier that I would like you to attend the Sunday service with me by 9am?}

_KEN

I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it, I had a very rough day yesterday, and I need some rest perhaps some other time.

_NGOZI

_{Ken, that’s what you always say, some other time; it really doesn’t take anything from you to go to church and worship God, you know, it’s…}

…He switches off his phone.

_NGOZI

_{So, he has switched off his phone; may God have mercy on you, ken, a young man like him that God has endowed with so much talents and wealth yet he finds it difficult to go to church and worship the one that made it possible for him. Anyway, I have to go and get ready for church.}

…Camera cuts away to Ken and Lucy.

_LUCY

_{Who’s that darling?}

_KEN

_{Some religious fanatic inviting me to church.}

_LUCY

_{Darling, don’t tell me, you’re going to jump out from the bed right now just to prepare for church.}

_KEN

_{Sure you can bet that I got better things to do with my time than that; don’t let that bother you, okay, now go back to sleep sweetie.}

_13._{INT. CHURCH. DAY}

_{After CHURCH SERVICE at the LATTER BLESSING ASSEMBLY, PASTOR DAVID sits at his DESK in a well furnished OFFICE counseling and praying for MEMBERS of the CHURCH.}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Good afternoon, pastor.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

Good afternoon, Mrs. Oyebisi, please sit down.

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Thank you, pastor.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{So, how’re you and the family doing?}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Family? Pastor soon, I won’t be having a complete family.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{God forbid! Mrs. Oyebisi, why do you talk like this?}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Pastor, my marriage is heading for the rocks and my husband is responsible.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{Please calm down, Mrs. Oyebisi and explain to me in details.}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Pastor I’m afraid I’m too ashamed to tell you the real problem.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{Mrs. Oyebisi, I’m your pastor, I’m God’s shepherd, anointed by our Lord Jesus Christ to take care of his flock, which you’re one of them and it’s my responsibility to know the problems or challenges any of them is going through so we can join our faith together and seek God’s mercy for solution; please I beg of you, tell me the actual problem.}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Pastor, do you know that for almost two years now, my husband has been having sex with himself and he totally ignores me in bed? I simply want out of the marriage.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{Having sex with himself, how?}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Masturbation! Pastor, he masturbates! He has a wife yet he derives maximum satisfaction in that than sleeping with me; he doesn’t seem to care about my feeling as a woman any more. Is it fair, pastor?}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{Mrs. Oyebisi, it’s never fair in anyway and I can understand how you feel and you shouldn’t be crossed with him because he’s not doing it deliberately, it’s not a normal situation, he’s under a strong satanic influence and I tell you something, all the devil wants right now is to completely destroy your once happy home. You’ve got two lovely children, what would be their fate if their parents are divorced? Please my sister, don’t give the enemy a chance in your marriage; all you need to do now is to go to battle on bended knees so that God will deliver him from the claws of the wicked one. You’re a dedicated Christian; you shouldn’t resort to divorce okay.}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{Thank you, pastor.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{It’s well my sister, I’ll always remember you in prayers, and also I’ll make out time to see your husband so I can counsel and pray for him, all right.}

_{MRS. OYEBISI}

_{All right pastor, thank you, I feel a lot better now, I have to be on my way.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{The Lord be with you, my sister.}

_NGOZI

_{Good day, pastor.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{Oh! Sister Ngozi, welcome, how’re you? Please take a seat.}

_NGOZI

_{Thank you, pastor.}

_{PASTOR DAVID}

_{I actually sent for you.}
