Must Read: OMOLARA'S FAITH - Season 1 - Episode 20

Lara was at the breakfast Table, when the
gateman came in to tell her, that a letter was
delivered for her.

She opened the envelope gingerly, she read it
aloud.
‘ peace of the most high God be upon you.

How’s your husbands health? I hope all is well.

I saw a revelation last night about you, I don’t
know if its a mere dream, or its a warning.

You just have to be careful about the way you do
things, you are surrounded by unfriendly friends.

There is danger lurking ahead.

May the good Lord see you through. Amen.

Pastor Wilson’
she read and re-read it again, what message is
he trying to pass across.

Danger? Unfriendly friends?

She felt shivers run down her spine.
“God see me through o.” she clasped her hands
in prayers.

Unfriendly friends? She thought. She’ve got a
few friends, just Deji.

Could it be Deji? No it can’t be!
“But Deji had been acting strangely now!” she
argued aloud.

She’ve been asking suspicious questions about
Tony!
“Hmm!” she sighed aloud.

Just then her phone beeped. A text from Deji.
‘ hy bestie,
I’ll be travelling out of town, sorry I won’t be
around for the dinner with Tony as planned.
I’m really sorry.

My regards to Tony when he comes back.”
“Talk of the devil!” Lara eclaimed as she read
the text.

She shook her head in suspicion.

Truly Deji is up to something, why would she
travel when she knew Tony is coming back that
evening.

Lara dressed and redressed her dress for the
twentieth time as she leaned aaginst the car
that brought them.

She wore make up for that occasion, courtesy of
her mother-in-law.

She glanced her saphire wrist-watch, and shook
her head.

She wondered what’s keeping Tony, their plane
landed twenty minutes ago.
“Why is it taking Tony so long to come na!”
Amara complained as she shuffled from one foot
to another.
“Maybe something important.” Lara quipped.
“Hmm” came the grunt
“or maybe he’s shy!” she suggested again with a
playful smile
“Shy? Tony lacks that characteristic o!” Amara
laughed.

They both feel silent, as their eyes surveyed the
airport environment.

Just then….

“Holly Majolly!” Amara exclaimed.
“What?” Lara asked.
“Don’t look back!” Amara tried to hold her.

But it was too late, Lara’s eyes swung left and
right,then she spun round, everything around her
froze…

Tony was at a far end, locked in Sophia’s arm as
they kissed ‘passionately’
Lara shut her eyes momentarily, then re-opened
them, what she saw was real!

Her vision began to get blurred, she was inhaling
and exhaling sharply.

Tony saw them, pushed Sophia away and ran
hapilly towards them.

Lara saw him coming, on his own legs, no longer
on the wheel chair.

She wished, she wished he never got well.

She wished… She began to slump slowly.

“Lara…” Amara said nervously as she tried to
hold her.

But she passed out.
