Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 1 - Episode 89

‘i’m cominggg’ Abby shouted as she ran to the door and opened it.
‘Maria!’ Abby called. She was surprised to see her.

Maria smiled at her and entered without being invited.
‘what are you doing here?’ Abby asked sternly still holding the door knob.
‘to see you of course and to inquire from you why you’ve not been picking my calls’ Maria said still smiling.
‘i am not under any obligation……’
‘sure you are not! Just wanted to know’ Maria cut in immediately.
‘good you know, so please leave my house. I do not want to mingle with cursed people!!’
‘what?!’
‘you heard me, i dont mingle with possessed beings who are out to ruin the world so abeg madam Maria, comot for my house abeg and mind you, my door is no longer open to you, not now not ever!!!’
‘i beg your pardon? Are you trying to say i’m cursed?!’
‘you no know before? You are cursed, not just you but your whole family!!’
‘how dare you!!’ Maria said and landed her a hot slap on her cheek.
‘did you just slap me? How dare you!!’ and with the speed of lightening, Abby slapped her back.

Maria was mad with fury. She grabbed Abby by the neck, pushed her down and landed serious slaps on her cheek.

Abby wailed and wailed, wishing her uncle was around.

Maria didnt stop, she picked a cable wire that was lying carelessly on the ground lashing it on Abby’s bare legs.
‘Maria please!!’ Abby said as she winced in pain.

Maria dragged her hair so badly that Abby began to feel serious headache, so many bruises on her face.
‘stupid girl! Who is possessed?!’ Maria shouted.

*******

‘who did this to you?’ Gilbert asked concernedly on seeing Abby’s badly beaten face.
Abby sobbed ‘its Maria’
‘Maria? How what did you do?’ Gilbert asked.
‘she came here and i told her to leave that she was possessed and all of a sudden she started beating me!’
‘just like that?’
‘yes uncle’
‘are you sure?’
‘yes’
‘well, in that case, you are wrong. You shouldnt have told her that she was possessed, but all the same, she was wrong to beat you like this, sorry about that’ Gilbert said.
‘but she is possessed now! She is possessed!!’
‘how sure are you that she is possessed?!’ Gilbert said flaring up.
‘she is possessed, thats all i know!!’
‘look Abby, if you want us to live in peace here, you better reconcile with Maria, whether possessed or not!!’
‘but uncle…..i thought you said that i should stop……’
‘i did say so, but i change my mind. Tomorrow morning, you will go to her house and apologise to her. You must apologise to her, am i clear?!’ Gilbert said sternly.
‘uncle why?!’
‘you will not understand Abby, just do as i say’ Gilbert said.

Abby stood up furiously.
‘no uncle. I refuse to reconcile with Maria, now now, not ever!!’
‘then you should be ready for me in this house, because there would be no peace…and i wont pay your school fees. Have i made myself clear?!’
‘habe uncle, how can you just change your mind like that now? Thats bad!’ Abby said.
‘bad or no bad, you being friends with Maria is for my benefit!!’
