COSTLY MISTAKE ✍️ Episode 1

in an open room that was well decorated with a soft song playing in the background, two ladies who appeared to be best friends could be seen talking with one another but in a pensive mood.

“Anita, are you saying I should keep this pregnancy as a secret from John” Blessing who sat opposite her friend ask with so much fear and uncertainty in her voice.

“Ahh, that is the best thing to do because if you decide to tell him now that your wedding is in four days time, I bet it with you, it will not end

well” Anita crossed her legs and clap her hands together to prove her seriousness. “In am also thinking the same but my fear is that, what if God decided to reveal it to John while praying, you know he is someone that hears from God and I not been truthful will show that I have things to hide. I suggest maybe I

should abort it since it is still in the early stage”

Blessing stares into her friends eyes to know if

she will be of support.

“Abortion, never, I am not in support of that o,

what if you lose your life. That’s one, what if you

lose your womb with all these quack doctors that

are outside now, my friend, I am not in support

of it o”

“Ehn, why are you afraid of John knowing about it

while praying, was he not the one that told you

that God instructed him that you are his wife. You

also claimed it even though we both know that

you married John because of his money. Is it not

you Anita, the queen of the night? It still baffles

me how bad girls would be getting good,

responsible and a well established man as their

husband while good girls like us will be having

some kind of God help me young men chasing

us around. Ehn, anyways, God works in diverse

dimension but the thing still dey pain me o”

Anita said as she eyed blessing at the same

time.

“No be my fault o. This pregnancy would not

have happened o if that idiot has accepted to the

use of condom” Blessing soliloquies.

“Ahh, I thought, you said, he told you that the

thing got loose in the process of you having

s3x” Anita queried.

“It was a lie. I said that to avoid your backlash

then, I thought it would be something I can

control since he promised that it would be the

last time we would be having s3x since my

marriage is near so I felt maybe I should let him

have his way and we did it flesh to flesh without

protection” Blessing looked at the other side of

the room.

“Ahh, this girl but you said you were no longer

seeing Kelvin but why did you allow yourself to

be fooled, now look at it which means you had

things with him while you were busy preparing for

your wedding. Ahh, you are not good” Anita

screamed and claps her hand.

“It wasn’t my fault. He invited me over after

myself and John just finished a two days fasting

and prayer concerning our wedding. I felt

reluctant at first but he told me that he was

calling to give me a parting gift”

“I fell for his tricks; you know that Kelvin is the

only man that understands my G. Spot and my

weakness. That day, I forgot that I just finished

fasting; it was until when we were done that I

started regretting but it was late. I just have to

let it slid promising myself that it would be the

last. I never knew it would turn to pregnancy o”

Blessing place her hand on her head.

“You are talking like a two year old child, look at

yourself. Anyways, the deeds has been done, it is

the solution to the present problem that matters

now” Anita draws her chair towards her to

maintain closeness

“We will put the child on John, he would not be

aware since the pregnancy is just two weeks

now. Thank God that you did the church

pregnancy test earlier so there is no big deal

about it anymore” Anita whispers to her.

“Ahh, what are you saying now, you mean I

should give another man’s child to my husband.

Haba! That’s wickedness. I thought I was more

wicked when I suggested that I will abort the

child, I didn’t know that you people that carry

bible all around with long skirt and scarf as if

you don’t know anything are more deadly.”

Blessings screamed.

Standing up “Don’t insult me o, I am only giving

you a way out. See pot calling kettle black, if you

know that you are not going by my advice just

let me know, there is no need for all the fruitless

insult you are throwing at me” Anita fired at her.

“Am sorry my friend. I didn’t mean it that way; it

is just that I am scared. What if he later knows

that he is not the father of the child, what would

happen to me? I am thinking of the future.”

Blessing motioned to Anita to sit down.

“See, there is nothing new under heavens, if he

eventually finds out about it, am sure he will have

the mind to forgive. Have you forgotten that in a

Christian marriage there is no room for divorce

once they join you guys at the altar and if he

tries to do that, it will not speak well of him

because he is a public figure and by the look of

things he might take up the role of a pastor very

soon and that is another advantage to your part”

Anita said to her smiling

“Hmm, thank God I have a friend like you.”

Blessing smiles back

“No, you are the one that is trying to corrupt me

o, it is time for bible study but before I leave,

have you finally settle the issue with your

mother-in-law” She asked looking straight into

Blessings eyes.

“Ahh, that witch, only God can save me from her

o, she does not like and accept me o. she is still

on her stand that John would not get married to

me even if it remains few minutes to join us

together” Blessing explained amidst sobbing.

“What did she say is the problem” Anita asked.

“She said her spirit is not flowing with me and

she even went ahead to swear that if I eventually

marry her son, she would make life unbearable

for me or better still make me to run mad on

that day of our wedding and you know all these

old mothers, hmm, no one can predict them o.

You can say it is just only threatening but they

mean all they are saying o” Blessing explained.

“That is another problem, but you are too slow

for my liking. You know how hard we tried to

make John fall in love with you even when

Cynthia and Clara painted you bad in his

presence but he said the love of Christ covers all

your past in so much you are born again.”

“It was then you started going to church but you

were still going back to your old vomit and that

is why you are having issues now. You see as for

that child, that one is sealed. We will make it a

secret but as for that old witch of a woman, we

will do something about her very quickly” Anita

said to her looking at her wristwatch.

“What are we going to do?” Blessing asked.

“We will fight her spiritually now, is it not the

person that can walk or in perfect health that

would attend a wedding, lets deal with her and

she will know we serve a living God” She

replied.

“Ahh, Anita your words these days na fire o, do

God kill people” Blessing asked.

“I said you are daft, am I talking about praying.

We are going diabolical, you know before I came

to Christ, I have some powerful herbalist that

help me in getting my ways easily so I will

because of you go there again for the last time

and I will ask for the forgiveness of God which I

am sure he will forgive me” She stood up in

confidence.

“But my wedding is in four days time, so when?”

“Tomorrow is not bad; I am late for Bible study.

Bye for now” Anita carried her bible and walked

out of the house very fast.

Blessings shakes her head in surprise “Hmm,

this people are the ones spoiling Christianity.

Anyways, it is not my business, how I can find

solution to this problem is my priority now” She

sighs and walk back inside.
