Episode 7.

Reverend Leo sat beside Rachael in the hospital watching her and wondering what suddenly came over his wife. When he married her she was burning for Christ, she had so much faith and would always encourage everyone around her to remain in faith. And suddenly she has turned into a desperate housewife.

Who would believe his story if he shared it with anyone. Who would even believe that the mummy of the church stabbed herself. As he sat beside her praying that God would intervene in their situation, he heard her make a sound and he quickly turned and faced her.

“Baby”, he called out to her, ” baby I’m right here, I’m right here and you are fine, praise be to God ”

Slowly, Rachael opened her eyes and looked around her.

Rachael: Heaven or hell? Where am I?

Leo: God forbid it, you will not die but live. You are in the hospital dear.

Rachael: Hospital? And what am I doing in the hospital?

Leo: Honey you stabbed yourself, you used a knife and stabbed yourself. How could you do that? How could you? Why would you even think of that?

Rachael: who asked you to save me? Who told you to bring me to the hospital? I am asking you.

Leo: How can you say that? What was I to do? Should I have left you on the floor to die?

Rachael: Yes Leo, you should have left me to die, I told you what I want. I don’t want to live without a child. And you know what to do.

Leo: Honey stop all of this. We will definitely have our baby in God’s time. Stop this please. You were lucky to survive this. Thank God the knife did not hit any vital organ. What would I have done? What would have happened to you?

Rachael: Listen Leo, you are just wasting your time. You are going to call Alfred and you will tell him that I need to get pregnant, we need to have our own child and you will pay him any amount he demands to get me pregnant and when I am finally pregnant, we will relocate from here to another state and live happily ever after.

Leo: Never! I will never do that? Do you even know what you are asking me to do? I can never do that, Never!

Rachael: Never? Did you say Never? Then you shouldn’t have bothered to save me because I will do it again. I will kill myself and bid this world bye bye. So that I will know i died without a child and as a sad woman.

Leo stood up to walk away from the clinic. But Rachael suddenly dragged the drip out of her hand spilling blood all over the bed, then she began to disconnect everything that was connected to her body.

Leo: What is this? What are you doing? Stop it, stop it right this minute. Have you gone mad?

He tried to stop her but she points the needle from the drip to him crying and sobbing.

Rachael: Don’t come any closer, if you dare come closer I will stick this needle to my throat and die right here.

Leo: But honey you are bleeding, you are losing blood and you can faint and die from this.

Rachael: That is what I want. Let me die, I cannot continue like this.

Leo: Honey please let me call the nurses. Please stop this I:m begging you.

Rachael: pick up that phone, pick up that phone and call Alfred now.

Leo: Honey…..

Rachael carried the needle and stuck it into her legs and she screamed out in pains.

Leo: Honey……stop you are hurting yourself.

Rachael: (in pains) call him now if not the best one goes inside my neck. Pick the phone and call him now.

Leo was confused, he didn’t know what to do. He picked up his phone and dialed the number.

Rachael: put it on speaker I want to hear every discussion.

Leo puts the phone on speaker, and not long, Alfred picked the call and answered from the other end. Reverend Leo then informed him to come straight to the hospital. He told him he was coming immediately.

When Alfred got to the hospital,he was surprised and shocked at the sight of the reverend’s wife.

Alfred: Blood of Jesus, Reverend what happened to mummy. Mummy what happened to you?

Rachael: (to Leo) tell him,

Leo: Honey please don’t do this, I am begging you.

Rachael: Tell him now if not…….
(She raises the needle to her neck)

Leo: okay, okay, okay, I will tell him. Just drop the needle.

Rachael: Tell him first.

Alfred: Tell me what?

Leo:(with tears and pains in his eyes) My wife wants you to get her pregnant.

Alfred was confused. He didn’t understand what the reverend was saying.

Alfred: Reverend I don’t understand. Get her pregnant? How? I don’t understand.

Rachael: Brother Alfred please, you know my husband and I have been married for years and we have not been able to bear any child. So my husband and I concluded that you should help me get pregnant.

Alfred: (confused) help you get pregnant? How? I still don’t understand.

Rachael: Honey please spill it out to him, instead of weeping like a child that lost the mother.

Leo: She wants you to sleep with her and get her pregnant.

Alfred: Jesus! God forbid! Sleep with who? God forbid! Mummy, daddy, how can you even think of such? Are you not the same people that taught us to have faith in God? What then happened to your faith? Or are you among those that practice what they don’t preach?

Rachael: Brother Alfred please, I know it’s a difficult thing to ask, but my husband and I are begging you, please. We will pay you, any amount please. Once I get pregnant we will disappear and you won’t see us again. AI’m begging you please. Honey beg him na

Leo was just looking at his wife, without saying anything.

Rachael: Brother Alfred please, my husband will pay you 2 million naira, please.

Alfred: I’m sorry mummy I can’t do this. I’m sorry. (He turns to leave)

Rachael: we will make it 4million. I will even make it 5milliin. Alfred please. I am begging you. (Alfred stood and started thinking, 5milliin will change his life and story forever)

Alfred: How are you even sure that if I sleep with you, you will get pregnant, I’m not God na. What if nothing happens, and you’ve dragged me into this terrible sin.

Rachael: I know I will get pregnant. I just know.

Alfred thought for a while and turns to leave again.

Rachael: Alfred if you don’t do this, tomorrow you will hear of my death. My blood will be on your head.

Alfred stood confused. He looked at the reverend and then to his wife.

Leo: She stabbed herself because I refused to call you, I know she will do it again.

A confused Alfred sits on the chair, the money was tempting and now threat to life has been added. “What should I do?” He thought to himself.
