78. EXT. MR. KADIRI’S RES. DAY

MR and MRS. KADIRI return from CHURCH and alighting from their VEHICLE as they see COLLINS passionately holding PRISCA by the WAIST; both of them about entering the FORMER’S CAR. He exchanges greetings with the LAND-LORD and his WIFE.

 COLLINS

I’m going to give you a treat today, you know why?

 PRISCA

No! You tell me.

 COLLINS

Because you actually ravished my soul last night with pleasure.

 PRISCA

Really!

 COLLINS

Sure baby… Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Kadiri.

 MR AND MRS. KADIRI

Good day.

He finally enters his vehicle with Prisca and drives off.

 MRS. KADIRI

Good day Mr. and Mrs. Kadiri as if we were his age mates or colleagues in the office. That boy is so rude, I just wonder why some of us. Parents, these days don’t properly train their children, honestly, it beats my imagination.

 KADIRI

It’s pathetic that most youths of this present generation are intentionally toeing the path of destruction; how do you explain it when a young man like him instead of going to church on Sundays to thank God for his mercies upon his life over the week. He decides to stay at home and be finding pleasure in sin.

 MRS. KADIRI

I know there’s this exuberance among youths when it comes to some things in life but he’s actually over doing things; as an educated young man with a well paying job, I expect him to be focused and responsible instead he’s busy changing women like briefs. Honestly, I pity him.

 Mr. KADIRI

You shouldn’t really bother your pretty head much over that, it’s his life, your concern should be that he doesn’t keep constituting nuisance in this house.

 MRS. KADIRI

I know he’s an adult and also, he has his life to live but I feel very much concerned the way he’s carrying on because I am a mother if any of our children is behaving like him. It will certainly break my heart; truly, dear, my heart bleeds for him.

 KADIRI

If you’re deeply concerned about him and you feel you can help him out, you keep praying to God on his behalf perhaps God will hear your cry one day but I just hope he doesn’t have full blown AIDS before God answers your prayer.

 MRS. KADIRI

I hope so too, my dear.

79. INT.CHURCH.DAY.

After CHURCH SERVICE, PASTOR DAVID as usual sits in his COZY OFFICE, praying for and counseling his members including JEFF who comes to see him.

 MRS. BEN

Pastor, I’m fed up with life, I just feel like taking a dive into the ocean or hanging myself.

 PASTOR DAVID

Don’t talk like that my sister, God condemns such act. Suicide is only a cruel solution to a temporary problem besides you’re a Christian such a thought shouldn’t arise in your mind.

 MRS. BEN

Pastor, you don’t seem to understand what I’m going through. Do you know how it feels to be married for over a decade without even a miscarriage let alone pregnancy yet the doctor certifies you and your husband medically fit to make babies, do you know the pains and agonies I pass through in the hands of my mother-in-law? I’m sure you’ve never come near a similar situation so you wouldn’t know how it hurts.

 PASTOR DAVID

Sure! I do. But all I want you to understand is that God will never forsake you, he says when you go through fire, he will be there with you…

 MRS. BEN

Pastor, God has forsaken me! He has. If he hasn’t why am I going through this pain and humiliation? Imagine, what my mother in-law told me this morning.

 

Dissolves into the scene where the mother in-law is mocking her.

 MRS. BEN

Mama, good morning, you’re not ready for church yet?

 MAMA

Church! Church! That’s all you know, your mates are married with kids but you’re married with nothing! Tell me, what’s wrong with you?

 MRS. BEN

Mama, there’s nothing wrong with me; in God’s own time I will bear children.

 MAMA

In God’s own time, indeed! You’re almost hitting menopause, I have told you to stop deceiving my son, your breasts are soured! They can’t suckle any child.

 MRS. BEN

Mama….

 MAMA

Don’t mama me! Barren woman!

 MRS. BEN

Pastor, she called me barren, that I’m not fertile as a woman to bear her son a child.

 PASTOR DAVID

Calm down, my sister and wipe your tears, yours is not new, Sarah and Hannah went through the same experience and God in his infinite mercies saw them through. One thing I want to assure you right now is that, the same God that did it for Sarah and Hannah, certainly will do it for you. Have faith in him, he will never leave you childless; shut your ears to what people are saying against you and focus on the Lord.

 MRS. BEN

All right, pastor, thank you.

 PASTOR DAVID

The Lord be with you, don’t worry, I will always remember you prayers.

 MRS. BEN

Thank you sir.

 

He presses the bell near his desk and Jeff walks in and greets him, standing.

 JEFF

Good afternoon, Pastor.

PASTOR DAVID

Good afternoon, brother Jeff, please sit down.

 JEFF

Thank you, sir.

 PASTOR DAVID

Yes, brother Jeff, I actually sent for you, I have a message from the Lord for you, he says I should tell you not to allow your present situation bother you one bit, that he will definitely show up soon in your life; I don’t know what you may be going through but I know for sure that he’s going to be there for you as he has promised.

 JEFF

Sir, recently, I lost my job and even before that time things have not been smooth for me.

 PASTOR DAVID

I’m really sorry to hear that but not to worry God will surely make a way for you.

 JEFF

I pray so, sir.

 PASTOR DAVID

That I know for certain but bring me your CV during the week, let me see, how I can help you in my own little way.

 JEFF

Thank you sir, I will bring it, thank you; I have to be on my way now.

 PASTOR DAVID

Please, manage this N5, 000 for transport while we keep praying to God for a good job for you.

 

JEFF

Thank you so much sir, I’m so grateful, this one is more than transport o! God bless you sir!

 PASTOR DAVID

And you too, my brother.
