FRUITLESS
VENTURE 4
This was the moment
she has been waiting for. At last all her waywardness will come to an end. In
her quest for a husband, she had all most turned herself into a club girl
sleeping around with anyone she met, hoping she could hook one of them, but
this did not work.
She turned to church
attending many seminars and vigil even when she knew she was not ready to be
born again. This also did not work. Now she has met the desire of her heart and
he was serious so why waste time.
She sent invitation to
every of her friends and began serious preparations for this grand occasion.

VENTURE 5
Most of the money to
be spent was her own since Jim could only contribute little amount, complaining
business was not favorable. She was the one that need the husband; so long as
there was love she did not mind spending her money.
She even made
provision for the bride price. She would give the money to him, nobody need
know except she told them, so there was no shame in that.

VENTURE 6
Exactly a week to the
wedding Sarah came calling. After the initial shout of joy and exchange of
pleasantries, Sarah asked who the lucky groom was. In response Linda brought
out the album and pointed to him with confidence. ‘’Oh my God, not again,’’
Sarah cried out.
‘’What is that, why
are you calling the name of the Lord, what has God done here’’ Linda was
alarmed.
‘’ I know this man. He
lives in the same premises with my sister; he is married with three kids. He
did this same thing to another lady just three months ago.’’ Sarah responded.

VENTURE 7
‘’No, how, what are
you talking about, no this cannot be. Oh
God kedu maka rubbish is this now (What kind of rubbish is this?), Tell me you
are joking.’’
‘’I am not joking. If
you doubt me here is my sister’s address, take this photo to her tomorrow
morning and she will tell you everything you need to know about Mr. Jim.’’
That night Linda could
not sleep. Nobody in her shoes would dare to sleep. Her thoughts ran riot in
her mind. Oh God please this should not be. How would she explain it to all the
people she had invited. This was the greatest definition of maximum
embarrassment should it be true.
That night she prayed
like she had never prayed before. She bound all the demons trying to disrupt
her marriage and chased them all straight to hell.

VENTURE 8
Early the next morning
she arrived at Sarah’s sister’s house and after preliminary introductions, she
went straight to the topic for the day. Her host listened attentively to her.
The elderly woman
replied, ‘’My dear, it is true that which my sister told you. The man in
question lives next door with his wife and kids. You can pay a visit to…..’’
she did not finish the sentence for without warning Linda fell heavily to the
floor and fainted.
Concerned neighbors
rushed out in response to distress call by the elderly woman. She was taken to
the hospital where she remained in this state of comatose three days and three
nights as the doctors battled hard to save her life.
