Act Of Faith - Season 2 - Episode 3

AS NARRATED BY ISRAEL

It was like the best moment of my life, the best moment of my life is
actually whenever Ann comes to spend sometimes with me, this
period, I forget about my best friend, Matt, who is Matt? It took a long
trial to persuade Ann to spend the three days public holiday with me,I
actually know she would come, she just wanted to form expensive. ”

Baby, so what plans do you have for us? I mean myself and you” Ann
asked, I don’t know but it think that the best way Ann starts a
conversation. ” Ann. I have told you times without number that I have
plans for us, I plan getting married to you, make you my wife and have
my kids with you” I replied sincerely while she blushed, she is always
happy hearing that. ” I love you Honey” She kissed me, ” What should I
cook for the afternoon?” She asked me standing up from my laps
where she has been sitting all this while, ” Just cook Beans and
plantain ” I smiled, that’s another good thing about her , she loves to
cook. ” Okay dear, let me go fix that” She said kissing me again and
walking towards the kitchen. ” Dont miss me much” She said and
swayed away while I stared at the killer waist, if Ann doesn’t kill me ,
who will?

• we sat in the dining eating the delicious delicacy Ann has put
together, at some points, she would feed me and I will also feed her,
that is the sweetness of being in a relationship, its just something good
especially when you are with the right girl, like Ann. We were still in
the middle of the meal when my main door suddenly bursted open to
reveal three guys all in white, they wore white mask and advanced
towards us. ” Who are you and what do you people want here?” I asked
standing up from the chair and walking towards them ,the one who
seem to be their leader slide out his sword and advanced towards me,
he flung it at me , I bent down and weaved it perfectly. With one of my
hand on the ground , I raised up my legs towards the air and gave him
a kick with my left leg on his head.

He fell down to the ground and the
second one took over, he threw a back leg kick which I was fast to
catch, I immediately gave him my own back leg kick still holding his
leg, we both fell down. Before I could get up, the third already gave me
a flying kick, the kick pushed me backwards and I hit my head on the
tile wall, the remaining two on the ground immediately got up and
rushed towards the weak me, I tried fighting back but I was
overpowered and tied down, I watched as they walked towards Ann
who was shaking in fear and swearing profusely,” Please let me go!!”

She shouted as she tried to free herself from them but to no avail, they
covered her mouth and two of the boys carried her outside , I was just
there struggling to free myself. ” Hey, I am a good person, use this in
getting yourself freed” The last one, their leader said as he dropped a
small knife beside me, I crawled immediately to get it. He ran out as I
started cutting off the rope, i got freed and quickly ran out but i could
only hear the car zooming off , for the first time, I cried for a girl.

“No!!” I shouted as I quickly ran inside for my car keys and the next
minute I was on the major road on high speed, the car was no where to
be found . I parked my car in a safe spot and alighted from it, I was
confused as I didn’t know what to do, I had to turn to my best friend
Matt, he might be of help. ” Hello matt, Ann has been kidnapped, my
girlfriend has been kidnapped” I shouted as soon as Matt picked up the
phone, ” By who? How? When? Where?” Matt asked, ” See, I can’t
explain now, just come over and help me, please I am confused now” I
told him as I loosed the first two buttons of my shirt, ” Israel, calm
down, if she has been kidnapped, then they will definitely ask for
ransom, they will call” Matt said calmly, ” No Matt, this people dont
look like they want money, they are fighters, I mean real fighters” I
explained, ” Wait Israel, do you expect Bricklayers or Barbers to come
kidnap Ann? Anyone that might have kidnapped Ann must know who
you are and thus they sent the right people for the job” He told me
while I nodded my head in agreement, ” Then Who could that be, only
Newriton knows who I am, who else? ” I asked feeling frustrated, ”

Remember bro, Daniel is out” Came his voice, I went quiet immediately,
Daniel is out and certainly, he is out for revenge, an evil revenge. ”

Israel, Israel are you there?” I heard Matt voice over the phone, I
immediately ended the call and went into my car.

” Slowly, slowly!!” Adanna shouted as I hit the high way with great
speed, it is already use to me, I hate driving slowly. ” Why are you
scared? Trust me” I assured her taking a sharp turn, ” Remember the
last time you ask me to trust you, when you said I should allow you fry
the plantains for the rice, remember we later ended up having no
plantain to eat that day, you ate up everything while frying, remember
back in the village when I use to trust you with my water pots, you
broke them all” She reminded me, ” Hey, that is different, we are on
the road here, just trust me on this ” I assured her again, she gave me
that look of doubt but still gave in. ” Watch out!!” She shouted while I
quickly applied the brakes, I had been taken away by the speed that I
didn’t realize I was about hitting a small car driving slowly in front of
me. I applied the brakes late and I ended up hitting the car from
behind. The car stopped immediately, so also my car. ” Mr Man, what is
the meaning of this?” The owner of the small car shouted as he got
down from his car and came towards me who was already out of the
car, Adanna was with me. ” Am sorry sir, it was a mistake” I apologized

although I knew it was useless, Nigerians have nothing to do with your
apology, pay for your damages. ” Will sorry repair the car ?” He asked
in a loud voice, car owners could now be seen surrounding us, typical
of Nigerians. ” Can you imagine this idiot, he was over speeding and hit
my car” The man told another man who had come to witness what was
happening, ” My husband is not an idiot, he barged your car and he is
going to pay for it” Adanna interfered standing in front of the man and
staring sternly at him, ” Then let him repair it” The man shouted and
laughed a mockery laugh, other men joined him. ” Small boys of
nowadays, they make small money and start feeling on top of the
world” Another man from the crowd said, ” He will pay for it but you
have no right to call him an idiot, idiot” Adanna cursed while the crowd
shouted, words like ” This small girl” could be heard from some of
those in the crowd. I drew Adanna back gently , she do over react
sometimes. ” Am sorry Sir, how much for the damages?” I asked him
calmly, he was still staring angrily at Adanna. ” Fifty thousand naira” he
blurted out, what an hungry man. ” No, its a million naira, thief”

Adanna interfered again, ” Joy!” I called and she kept quiet. ” Sir, you
know this isn’t up to fifty thousand naira ” I told the man calmly, ”

Young man, I am the owner of my car and I know how much everything
in it is worth” he told me angrily. ” Excuse me” a man from the crowd
came forward, he looked dirty. ” I am a mechanic, and I can repair this
break light with 5 thousand naira” he informed, ” Okay then, dear
please lend me five thousand naira ” I turned to Adanna, who simply
eyed me and brought the money from her wallet. ” Sir, this mechanic
will repair your car for you, and if he doesn’t do it well , you can call
me” I told the man and gave him my number, I gave the money to the
mechanic and walked into my car as the crowd dispersed. ” why are
you always bent on disgracing me?” Adanna asked as we got back into
the car, ” How?” I asked back. ” Firstly, I told you to drive carefully but
you won’t listen and now you hit someone’s car. That isn’t the painful
part, just look at the way you were behaving like a weakling out there,
so pathetic” she shouted like she was ready to fight me, ” Joy keep
shut” I instructed, I knew it was a useless instruction ” Oh, I should
keep shut? Okay then ” She shouted and folded her arms in anger, but
at least, she kept shut. I drove off till we got to the cinema, I looked
for a good parking space and parked my car. ” Okay, am sorry” I
apologized as we made to alight from the car, ” Just keep shut ” She
ordered while I bursted into laughter, ” Wait, you think its funny? Do I
look like a joker to you, you are taking me for a fool?” She asked
angrily, ” Haba, Adanna, it isn’t up to this now, am sorry forgive me” I
begged stretching my hand for hers, ” Don’t touch me!” She shouted, ”

Am sorry to be the bearer of the bad news, I will” I said and held her
hand. ” Leave me alone” she removed her hand away from mine. ”

Adanna, am so sorry” I begged again, ” No, it was annoying, i was trying
to tell you something and then the next thing was for you to ask me to
keep shut ” She said , ” You weren’t telling me anything, you were
yelling at me” I corrected, ” Are you correcting me?” She asked while I
shook my head negatively, ” Okay, am just sorry” I apologized again. ”

Hmm, you are forgiven, but you still have to be punished, I will have to
punish you”she said, ” Okay, what’s the punishment? ” I asked her, ”
As we go out now, let me do all the talking” She said while I nodded, ”

Okay then, you are forgiven ” she said and gave me a light kiss. ”
