? GHOST WEDDING ?

? EPISODE 9 ?

Sonia and Steve met to discuss, after they discovered family members were beginning to observe their activities.
“Baby, they’ve noticed something. I think we have been acting too rash on them, which is not supposed to be so”. Steve told Sonia.

“Yes, you are right. My mum and brother seem to have known what’s on ground, especially Henry my brother. But I will be calm and act normal this time, until after the wedding. Most times, I don’t even know when I display such acts”.
“Me too, I do it ignorantly and have to call myself to order henceforth”.
– The Next Day –
The wedding is fast approaching, preparations were intensified. All was set, the D-day awaits everyone.
“The meaning of the dream I had is what I am yet to understand”. Sonia’s mom said to herself as she drove to work. “A lot has happened lately, I’ve had many similar dreams. Sonia’s strange attitude worries me, she doesn’t act like my daughter that I used to know anymore. So many strange things about her and it is giving me serious cause for concern”. She ruminated while she drove. “I need to see pastor Biodun, I’ve really got to talk to someone spiritual”. She decided, and after work, she drove to pastor Biodun’s office.

“You are welcome ma’am”. Pastor Biodun’s secretary greeted. “Please have a sit, the pastor is with someone inside”.
“Thank you Abimbola”. She responded while she sat.
After a few minutes, Abimbola asked her to go in.
“Welcome Mrs Ezeife, how is your family”. Pastor Biodun greeted pointing to a seat opposite his. “Please, sit down”.
“Thank you pastor”. She responded as she sat. “I’m here to see you for something very important daddy”. She added.
“Alright sister Ezeife, I’m here for you people”. Said pastor Biodun.
“It is about my daughter Sonia”. Mrs Ezeife said adjusting her sitting position.
“What about her? I hope all is well? Because it is barely two weeks to her wedding and we are eargly anticipating that day”. Pastor Biodun said smiling.
“It is something serious sir, my daughter have been acting strange since she returned from a short trip she made with her fiance Steve. She no longer acts like my daughter, so many strange things about her”. She said in all seriousness.
“Pastor Biodun, also adjusted himself and clears his throat. “You see Mrs Ezeife, human beings sometimes are like chameleons. We change from our original self at one point or another, but remains who we are”.

“I know that daddy, but this is a totally different change I’m talking about here. My daughter behaves most times like a spirit”. Pastor Biodun was moved by her statement and further adjusted himself and paid more attention. “Yes daddy, I know what I’m saying. I am a mother and I know what I’ve seen or experienced since she came back”. Initially, it was my son Henry who sees and hears things, even before the journey. He strongly kicked against it, saying he had series of dreams and I’ll feelings about her journey. But eventually they traveled and came back, but so many strange things have happened”. Mrs Ezeife added.

Pastor Biodun sighed deeply and spoke softly. “Hmmmmm! Mrs Ezeife. Are you sure of what you are saying? Sounds strange indeed, but what are exactly the things you’ve been seeing and noticing?”. Asked Pastor Biodun.
She folded her arms around her chest as she narrated. “Daddy, sometimes, you will wonder if Sonia is appearing and disappearing. This moment she’s not in her room, even when you are sure you’ve been to her room severally to check on her. The next moment, she comes out from her room. It is indeed scary daddy, the other, I wanted her to help me out in the kitchen. I got to her room and found her sleeping, I was so sure I woke her up and went straight back to the kitchen. To my utmost dismay, she was in the kitchen by the time I got there. My son Henry will tell you more scary things he has observed and seen”. Mrs Ezeife narrated.

Pastor Biodun took a deep breath and relaxed on his seat. “I think all these happenings could be out of mere imagination, but be it as it may. We will pray over it, I will arrange for a day we all will fast and pray before the wedding. All we need to do is pray and avert whatsoever it is. Everyone will have to be part of this fasting and prayer, including Sonia and her fiance”.
“Okay daddy, that will be fine sir. I will inform everyone in the house, also Steve will be informed”. She replied.
“Lovely, please inform everyone, including her fiance’s family members. Let’s make it a prayer for the two families”. Added Pastor Biodun.
Mrs Ezeife left after her discussion with the pastor, they agreed that the fasting and prayer hold the next three days and it will be a Saturday, when everyone supposedly should be home. The prayers would hold at Steve’s house, because of his father’s presence. Steve and Sonia were told about the prayers and were asked to ensure they were around.

– Three Days After –

It was three days after Mrs Ezeife visited Pastor Biodun, and it was the day for prayers. Pastor Biodun arrived Mrs Ezeife’s house, from where they were supposed to take off to Steve’s house. Everyone was ready, except for Sonia who locked herself up in her room and refused to open the door even after several knocks.
“Sonia love, remember today is the day for prayers. Steve and his people are waiting, we are all ready. Pastor Biodun is here, please we have to get going. Her mom called from outside Sonia’s room.
“Mummy, I’m having running stomach. You people can go, if I am strong enough before you round coolval stories up, I will join you there. Since the prayers will last until evening”. Sonia responded from her room.

After several persuasions from both her mother, the pastor and Henry, she didn’t oblige. The they left her and went to Steve’s house for the prayers.

– Steve’s House –

It was similar scenario when they got to Steve’s house, he had gone out when everyone gathered for the prayers. When he was called on phone, he told them he had gone to attend to something important.
The prayers was held and Pastor Biodun left, but things remained the same.
One week to the wedding, calm returned, Steve and Sonia were calm. They acted normal and preparations intensified, everyone believed the prayers had worked. The wedding is by the corner, Abigail had got her bridesmaid dress? and Henry his bestman suit ?. All is set for the wedding, everyone awaits the D-day.
