GRUMPY AND THE PRIEST : EPISODE 21 – THE END
Episode 26
By Faith Lucky.
Nina couldn’t believe that was her Theo becoming conscious again when she feared she had lost him.
He ws still lying on the bed and still looked weak and most members of the Sidney family were present in the room.
“It’s a good thing you’re out of coma, Theo. It’s a miracle” harmony said excitedly.
She was the only one sitting on the bed with him.
Nina was just silent and theo kept staring at her.
“How are you feeling Theo? Do you need anything?” Mrs Sidney asked.
“Yes, Theo. Is there something you need?”
“Are you feeling strange?”
“Do wen need to call the doctor?”
They kept throwing questions at him hut he didn’t say a word until the were done talking.
“What day is it?” He asked, referring to no one in particular.
They stared at each other before Mrs Sidney gave him a reply.
“It’s Friday”.
“How’s the wedding preparations going mom?” He asked.
“Wedding?” Harmony shrieked. “There’s no wedding.”
“Uhm Theo,” Mrs Sidney said. “The doctor said you’re still in a critical state. You can’t leave the hospital.”
He groaned and struggled to sit up but couldn’t.
“Relax Theo. Don’t stress yourself out.” One of his relatives said.
“Im getting married tomorrow, mum.” He continued. “It doesn’t matter if I have to do it here on my sick bed.
As long as Nina’s still willing to go on with the plans, I’m more than willing”.
“But Theo…”
“Nothing must ruin it mom” he interpolated. “if you still want me to live, you’d make it a reality.”
He paused and beckoned on Nina to come forward and he held her hand.
“I love Nina and we’re getting married” he continued. “Nothing must break it apart.”

Nina walked into the magnificent hall and stood at the back, amongst the crowd.
Large number of people were seatedseated at the front seats and all the seats, over five hundred were occupied by people waiting for the show.
Even the second floor of the building ws occupied by hundreds of people standing at the balcony, alps waiting to see the show.
Those who couldn’t go early enough to get a seat were the ones standing behind, just like Nina.
But Nina didn’t really intend having a seat. She didn’t want to be noticed by him in anyway.
Some first on the list went on and after some time, the first guest artiste was called out and it was Alvin.
That was the music concert he yad signed up for and he had expected to do it with Nina by hus side. But things were different.
The audience applauded him as he climbed the stage and settled on the keyboard with a mic in front of it.
Nina kept starring at him and could clearly read the diffident look in his eyes.
He was extremely sad and she felt so bad for him. She was finding it difficult to forgive herself for what she did. Of course she couldn’t; at least, not so easily.
The whole place had become as still the blue sea; so quiet. Even a drop of a pin on the floor could probably be heard at that moment.
Alvin didn’t say much but only did a casual greeting and proceeded.
“Good evening, everyon” he started dollfully.
“Thank you for making out time to be her traumatic tonight. And I hope you find my song worthy of your time. Thank you”.
He added a nod and started off on the keys before bringing in the lyrics.
It was a slow calm song.
? Some people long for a life
That is simple and planned,
Tied with a ribbon
Some people won’t sail on the sea
Cause it’s safer on land
To follow what’s written
But I
Follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we’ll call our own.
? Hand in my hand and we promised to never let go
We’re walking in tightrope
High in the sky we can see the whole world down below
We’re walking in tightrope
Never sure,
Never know how far we could fall…?

Mrs Lana hurried down from her car and couldn’t wait to know what was going on.
She jostled her way through the crowd into the hall and found someone sitting and singing on the stage with hundreds of people listening keenly.
