TITLE: FAITH WORKS EPISODE: 21 & 22 AUTHOR: Bimbo Ayoade * Tony’s eyes narrowed, he looked hurt. He wore a painful look that made Lara regret her words. “That’s not true Lara..its just that… that…some things got complicated…once my spinal cord gets back in place, I’ll normal again…” his voice was shaky. “Normal again? Were you normal before?” Lara made a face. “When you were busy sleeping around Sophia…have…have …you ever thought if…if…if…I’m human with needs?” tears filled her eyes. “This marriage is almost two years now..and…and…” sobs choked her. “Lara please, I know I’ve wronged you… but please…” he was crying too. “I guess you want me stay right? But how am I sure you aint trying to be nice just because you’re ill! I’m sure when you get back on your feet again; you’l become the real Tony, and I’ll no longer be Lara but a daft-illiterate girl!” Lara said angrily, before turning to leave the room. “Lara please wait” he called after her. But she left banging the door behind her. Tony stared at the door in horror. He knew he was doomed, should Lara decide to end the marriage. He was at her mercy. “God help me!” he clasped his palms in prayer. Maybe she was right, that if he gets on his feet, he might not regain his manhood! Perhaps the doctor lied to him? The doctor told him, all would be well… “Tony you are in deep mess:” he muttered fighting back tears. If Lara should leave him, he won’t survive it. He might lose his life, cos he was madly in love with her. - EPISODE 22 - Tony winced a little, he felt like easing himself, he had pressed the beeper for more than twenty times now but Lara is yet to show up. He wondered if she was trying to punish him, because on a normal day, she’d have cleaned him up and served him his food.. He pressed the beeper five more times but she didn’t come. He decided to help himself into the wheel-chair standing by his bed side. He pushed himself towards the bed’s edge, he took hold of the wheel chair and attempted to hop in. He lost his balance and almost toppled over… “Hey! What are doing?” It was Lara, he didn’t look back, he wasn’t sure if the scowl he saw yesterday was still there. “Errrm…” he tried to speak as she balanced him on the wheel. “Morning to you Tony…” she wheeeled him towards the Loo. “I was answering a call when I heard the beeper…” “Here…steady…sorry…easy…” were her words a she helped him into the the bath tub. “I’l be back in a jiffy” Lara said looking away, she could bear to see him unclad. Tony smiled, she’s too shy he thought. “I want you to stay…” he smiled revealing his teeth. “No thank you.” lara left the bathroom. ::::::::******:::::: “Ehen! Deji what’s there in life that you should forget me na!” Lara queried. “Nooo, bestie, its not like that na!” Deji laughed as she sipped her glass of juice. “Eh is like what? Tell me! Deji toh bad!” Lara laughed again flopping beside her friend. “Girlie, yan me, I heard Tony is sick?” Deji began to say in a mocking tone. “yes, he’s been ill.” Lara said carefully. “I heard the only snake in his forest is dead?” Deji asked again. “Now Deji, don’t start! That’s so cruel…” “So cruel?” Deji mimicked her. “You don’t know how happy I was when I heard the news! I danced ehn!” she looked excited. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 23 BE FREE TO share your THOUGHT
