The Bonny Island Massacre - S01 E30

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 30

Yvonne: “All I have to say is, there is God. He brought me back from the path of death, truth prevailed because He is God” she said and walked away.

She had heard from the emissaries that after writing the letter, Mira had gone into coma, so Yvonne took a flight back to Port-Harcourt to go see Mira. In the plane’s cabin, she thought of all the events that happened since her birthday. She didn’t know what to feel towards Mira, but she sure pitied her. She knew it took a person, who was dissatisfied and in a bad place to concoct such evil machinery against someone who had been nothing, but good to her. She had also heard about the attack on Mira, and she wished that Mira could get a second chance.

“They say you are a God of second chances. Mira has realized her mistakes, howbeit through a hard way, but still Lord, give her a second chance for Femi’s sake” she prayed in her heart.

Femi stayed glued to his television waiting to hear that Yvonne had been sentenced, so he could take his life, but what he heard was that Yvonne had been acquitted and Mira had confessed. His father had told him everything that transpired in his absence and he knew that Mira was his twin sister. But still he felt no pity for her. He hated her for destroying their lives and he wanted nothing to do with her.

When Yvonne deplaned at the airport in Port-Harcourt, she took a taxi straight to Femi’s apartment and when she didn’t meet him, she went to his father’s house. Her father had stayed back in Abuja, he wanted to expose those who had engineered the plane crash, and because of the publicity of the trial, people listened to him and they clamoured for an enquiry into the plane crash. They demanded for answers.

Femi was in the sitting room talking with his father, he asked his father if Yvonne would still want anything to do with him after everything that happened.

Femi’s father: “Good people don’t change because of bad situations, Yvonne will remain as sweet as ever, and as such, she would accept you” he admonished.

They were still talking when the doorbell rang and Femi looked inquisitively at his father as he went to open the door. He opened the door and was met with a smiling Yvonne.

Yvonne: “I have missed this face, baby boy” she said and rushed into his arms. They hugged and cried and kissed.

Femi: “I am so sorry for everything you went through, my baby”

Yvonne: “It ended in praise, my darling” she said as the tears kept coming down.

Back at the hospital, Mira woke up alone, she looked around her, and saw only white lights and white walls.

“Where am I?” she wondered. The room door opened and a doctor walked in with two nurses.

Doctor: “You are awake” he said and pointed a small medical torchlight into her eyes.

Doctor: “What is your name?” he asked.

Mira: “I don’t remember” she replied with a puzzled expression. The doctor looked at his nurses in puzzlement. It dawned on him that Mira had lost her memory, perhaps the trauma had been too much and her mind had snapped. He shook his head in pity. After hearing what the girl had done, it had taken a doctor’s heart to still feel pity for her. But since she did not die, he believed that God had given her a second chance, who was he?, an ordinary man, to judge her.

When Mira went to the bathroom, she saw her mutilated face and screamed. The doctor rushed into the bathroom and sedated her with an injection shot to her arm. By the time Mira woke up again, Yvonne and Femi were in the room with her, but she didn’t know them.

Mira: “Who are you guys?” she asked. They were not surprised for the doctor had briefed them about Mira’s amnesia.

Femi: “I am your brother” he said. Yvonne had talked to him and convinced him that if Mira lived, she needed all the love for she had been through a lot. “You change bad people with love” Yvonne had said to him.

Yvonne: “And I am your sister” she said with a smile. She edged closer to the bed, and kissed Mira on her bandaged fore-head.

Femi: “You are my twin, and I will help you through all your difficulties, I promise” he said and held her hand, with the other hand he held Yvonne and pulled her closer to

It has been a great journey and I have learned a lot of lessons.

I believe in a God of second chances, but do you want to pass through the fire like Mira before you change your ways? Also, life is not a race, running a race with your peers is what leads to jealousy. Be content in who and what you are, and only strive to be better than who you were yesterday, and all your heart desires will come true.

Are you going through a difficult situation, maybe you have been accused wrongly, and you are beginning to doubt all the promises of God in the bible or Quran, do not despair because, He is still God, and though He may tarry, but He is never LATE.
