? GHOST WEDDING ?

✏ EPISODE 2

It was a cold evening in the city, Mr. Tony, Sonia’s father had just returned from work. He was served his meal by his wife and Sonia. When he was done eating, he called everyone together for a family discussion.
“Good meal as always, thank you my dear wife and daughter”. He said in appreciation, then continued.



“Sonia, I learnt you embarking on a sightseeing journey with Steve?”.



“Yes dad, we decided to just leave town for some days, since we are both on leave”. Sonia responded decently.
Mr. Tony clears his voice. “There’s nothing wrong in what you both have agreed, all I can say here is you two have to be very prayerful. You know the days are evil, make sure you pray before embarking on the journey”.
“Yes dad, we will certainly do that, just that Henry is trying to put fears into me. He keeps saying he is having a different feeling towards our proposed journey. And he is so serious about it”. A worried Sonia said.
Dad, turned towards Henry. “Just wish them well son, I know your feelings most times over things like this are real. But in this case, they will go and return”.
Henry, nodding his head in disbelief. “Dad, mum, Sonia. It’s not as if I do not want Sonia and Steve to travel, why should I stop their journey? But what I’m saying here is I don’t even understand the feelings myself. It keeps coming stronger and stronger by the day. The more I try to wave it aside, the stranger it comes. I wish you guys would just listen to me”. Sonia broke down into tears as he was talking and the mum drew her close to herself to console her.
“Enough of this Henry, stop putting fears into everyone. We have told you nothing is going to happen to them”. (She held Sonia’s hand and prayed for her).



Mr. Tony reasoned with his son and tried to convince Sonia to have a change of mind over the proposed journey, but she had her mind made up already. The father was left with no option order than to give her his blessings and words of prayers.
“I can see you already have your mind made up Sonia?”. Said Mr. Tony.
Sonia, still lying on the mother’s laps spoke with a shaky voice.
“Yes dad, Henry should stop putting fears into everyone. Steve and I will go and return, nothing will happen to us”.
“Amen, nothing will happen to them. I don’t know why Henry won’t just do away with this negative thoughts in him”. Sonia’s mother agreed with her.
“I would have suggested you guys postpone the journey for now, but since you’ve both made up your minds, you shall go and return. The roads will be free of all evil for your sake, the Lord shall go before and after you. It shall be well with you?”.
And everyone echoed amen, including Henry.
In Steve’s house was same argument going on, he had the mother’s support. But his younger sister was a big opposing factor.
“Mummy, I have said it before and will say it again. Only if big brother will listen to me and postpone this journey, I don’t just understand it myself. It is an unusual feelings I’m having, never had it this strong before”. Abigail, Steve’s younger sister said.
“Abigael, forget this feelings of yours. Your brother and his fiancee will go and return. All we need do is pray for them, I equally have a strong feeling that they will go and return. Don’t always be pessimistic about certain things”. Steve’s mother cautioned Abigail.
“Mummy don’t mind her, always believing every negative thought that comes to her. Mum, our journey will be tomorrow morning”.

“It’s okay baby boy, the good Lord will go before and after you guys. No evil shall come near you and Sonia, every evil thoughts and plans of the enemies is hereby aborted. You shall go and return, it shall be well with you”.
Everyone, including Abigail echoed amen. But Abigael’s countenance still showed her disbelief in the proposed journey.

– Next Morning –

All was set for the journey, Sonia was already dressed with her bag close to her as she sat waiting for Steve who will come with a cab to drive them to the garage. Henry sat just opposite Sonia, looking at her, wishing she would have a change of mind.
Abigael on the other hand tried stopping Steve from leaving the house, as she held unto his bag crying.
“Abigail, what is wrong with you? Why are you making this look like your brother is going to die? Will you let go of his bag?”. Said Steve’s angry mum.
“Mummy, only if you know the dream I had last night. You won’t let Steve embark on this journey, the dream seem so real. Mummy, please tell him not to go”. She cried the more still holding unto his bag.
“We have prayed against whatever dream you had, please leave his bag and let him go”.
Abigail still held unto the bag, but the mother forcefully pulled her hands off the bag and asked Steve to go.
“Safe journey big brother, I wish you will listen to me. May God be with you. With these feelings of mine, I know dad wouldn’t have allowed you travel if he was alive. Safe journey big brother”. Abigail said as Steve walked out of the house.
“Thank you baby sister, I’ll get you some goodies when coming back”. Steve responded as he left the house.

-Sonia’s House –

Steve got to Sonia’s house to meet everyone in the sitting room waiting for him. As soon as Steve got into the house, Sonia became suddenly pressed. Then she rushed in to use the restroom, it took her close to twenty minutes before she was done.
While others were waiting, Henry told Steve about his feelings and advised if they would suspend the journey.
“I had a terrible dream last night about this journey, I just wish you guys will suspend it for now”.
“You talk like my sister, she has been against this journey from day one. She said while I was about leaving the house that she had a terrible dream just to discourage me from traveling. I know she’s missing me already. Nothing will happen Henry, we shall go and return”.
“Yes, nothing will happen. Forget Henry and his negative thoughts”. Said Sonia’s mother.

When Sonia was out of the restroom, the father prayed for them once again and they both left the house after the prayers. Henry sadly walked into his room.
Sonia and Steve got to the garage, paid for their seats in an eighteen seater Toyota Hiace bus. It took the bus another twenty minutes before it got filled up and then they hit the road.
