Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 1 - Episode 95

Kofo grasped Alice’s hands praying in tears all through the night. While praying, many thoughts went through her mind. Her husband was an occultist? Her daughter was unconcious, she might probably die and the demon she saw earlier.
‘oh God help me!! Do not forsake me now. I need you more than ever. Save my daughter oh lord!!’ she prayed in tears. The tears travelled down her cheeks and as she opened her mouth to pray, she tasted the saltiness of her tears.

‘Jesus, please keep my daughter alive. She is all i have now. Protect her for me oh God. No evil fashioned against her shall prosper’ she said over and over.

She sobbed, opened her eyes, reached for the olive oil on the table close to her, opened it, muttered a quick prayer before pouring a little quantity into Alice’s open mouth.

Then she prayed again, she didnt even know when she slept off.

It was exactly 2.45am when Kofo thought she heard Alice sneeze in her sleep. She opened her eyes and saw Alice gasping for breath with her eyes wide open.
‘my God! Alice!!’ Kofo screamed, she couldnt hide her excitement.
‘mu….mmy’
‘shhh, my dear, dont say anything’ Kofo said with a smile as tears flowed from her eyes again. Immediately, she knelt down with her hands in the air.
‘thank you Jesus for answering my prayers’ Kofo prayed.
‘mum, what happened?’ Alice asked looking directly into Kofo’e eyes. The hostility which was always there was no more, what she saw was love and concern.
‘you dont remember anything?’ Kofo asked.
‘nothing. I only remembered attending father’s funeral and then Stella came to our house and…..’

‘who is Stella?’ Kofo asked.
‘one b---h like that’ Alice replied ‘its nothing mum’
‘are you sure?’
‘i’m very sure mum’
‘so what else do you remember?’
‘i dont know mum, but if i try to remember something more, my head bangs’ Alice said and Kofo sighed in relief.
‘dont bother yourself dear. There’s nothing to remember, we’ve been together all day’ Kofo said.
‘but mum, what happened to me? I’m uncomfortable’
‘huh?’
‘uhm….nothing’ Alice said.

Kofo reached for Alice’s hands and sq££zed it gently.
‘my dear, i want to tell you something’ Kofo said.
‘what is it mum?’
‘you know, there are many unseen forces sorrounding us. You might not know. Every one has enemies, it might be in your working place, in your church, here in your house, your son’s school, just name it but there’s one thing that you should always do and thats pray. Always pray my dear, in the morning pray, in the afternoon pray, in the evening pray. Praise the lord so that your problems will disappear’ Kofo said as more tears streamed down her cheeks.
‘mum, why are you crying?’ Alice asked like a little kid.
‘i dont know. I….i….just want to cry. I’ve heard alot of things that i cant comprehend. I’ve seen a lot of things, i dont know how to deal with them.

Should we leave this house? Should we leave this country? Should we just set everything ablaze and live a new life. I also read alot of things, so many atrocities committed, so many wrongs done. I cant just explain’ Kofo said sobbing uncontrollably.
‘i dont understand mum, what are you talking about?’ Alice asked.

Kofo brought out a red diary from under the bed and handed it over to Alice who remembered seeing something like this somewhere but couldnt place where.
‘what is this?’ Alice asked.
‘the words there were written by your father, with his blood. All the atrocities he committed.

Your father was an occultisi my dear. He killed your fiance Benjamin, he killed my parents, he killed his sister, your aunt. He killed people, alot of people. Its also written there that he would have killed me also but i was replaced by your next suitor. He would have killed anyone that comes for your hand in marriage had he been alive.

My dear, its all written there in your father’s handwriting, he is devil. I regret marrying him, i didnt even know who i married, its a shame’ Kofo said crying like a baby.

Those word sounded like nonsense to Alice’s ears. Infact, it was nonsense. How dare her mum call her dad a devil. In her own view, her mum was a devil.
‘mum, i dont believe all of this. They are like nonsense to me. If you had a problem with dad before his death, why dont you forget about it now he is dead. I saw how you cried and even fainted when he died but now, you are just turning him into a bad person in my eyes. How and why would he kill Benjamin or your parents? For what reason? You dont even know how to lie mum’ Alice said angrily.
Kofo cried the more.
‘you dont believe?’ she asked.
‘yes mum, i dont believe you!! I dont know why you cant seem to let bygones be bygones sef!!’
Kofo lost it and slapped her hard on the cheek.
‘before trying to judge me, why not go through the diary first? I bet you know your father’s handwriting so you wont call it sham after reaing it!!’ Kofo fired turning to leave the room, then she stopped and turned to Alice.
‘i have a secret i’ve always wanted to tell
