MENDED WINGS... episode 21

     “You’re pregnant,” Doctor Matt said with a smile, facing Ella.
     Ella winced. “I am what?”
     “You’re pregnant. It’s nine weeks.”
     Ella froze, unsure of her next action. Was she supposed to be happy that she was eventually pregnant or sad because she didn’t even want the baby anymore?
     Joel laughed and shook the doctor’s hands. “That’s great news. I’m so happy. Thanks, darling,” he said, bent and kissed Ella’s forehead disrupting the awkward moment.
     “I’m so happy for you, Mr and Mrs Mason. But I’ll also encourage you to be more careful so that you don’t lose this pregnancy. Mr Mason, you have to keep an eye on your wife and keep dangerous things out of her way so she won’t fall again.” He cast Joel a pregnant glance. “And please, no violence of any sort,” he added and Joel nodded. “Mrs Mason, please be careful. You need to eat well and stay strong for your baby. And you’ll need to register for antenatal care.”
      Ella nodded, knowing she would cry if she opened her mouth to say a word.
      They left the doctor’s office after much counselling. And Joel drove his wife home.

MENDED WINGS... episode 2

It was a bright Sunday afternoon. The sun shone effortlessly, sending her rays through every opening and crevice possible. Evelyn Olawoye walked into the living room, a glass of water in her hand. “So, how was church service on your side?” she said and sat in the nearest sofa. “Hmm. ’Twas fine. I got in just before word ministration. But it was edifying,” Ella said and lifted the last spoon of rice in her plate to her mouth. “That’s good. What was the sermon all about?” “Well, it was,” she swallowed “it was about Christian growth.” “Nice. So, is there any point to share?” “The message was heavy. It was a new pastor that preached. You needed to see how the Spirit moved.” “You now have a new pastor? What about the other ones?” “They are still with the church. I was just seeing the guy for the first time. The funny thing is that I don’t think he has been ordained a pastor yet, ’cause he was introduced as a brother. But He was so amazing. You should have worshipped i...

MENDED WINGS... episode 7

     Kunle Adedoyin sat on one of the three black sofas in Mrs Olawoye’s house, his forehead thrown into furrows. He puckered his dry lips, seizing the moment to ruminate on Mrs Olawoye’s question, which was hanging in the air. He wasn’t sure if explaining everything to her would worsen the situation. He didn’t want anyone to see him as a person who would always allow a third party to mediate in his marriage in the future. But he knew that keeping to himself wouldn’t resolve the issue either. His problem was getting out of hand, and if he didn’t take appropriate decision, he’d be back to square one.      Talking to Evelyn should not be a problem. After all, Ella had been living with her since she graduated from the university and was very close to her. Moreover, Evelyn had been aware of his relationship with Ella from the very beginning and had given as much support as needed. He hushed, thinking of what action to take.      “You have not a...
