MAGIC MIRROR… (STORY 5)
That same night,
God who always protects and self guards his children, sent his angel to inform
Valentine never to accept any gift from Abigail. The angel did as God had
instructed, Valentine received the massage in the dream. When he woken up he
was amazed: “Could this be from God. The angel never explained the reason why I
should not collect anything from her. My spirit tells me that Abigail is
planning something. Thank you God for this message, and then I will break my
promise to her and hold on to God instruction. He thought and said his morning
prayers.
At school during
break period, she approached Valentine where he sat and greeted.
“Good day Val, how are you today,”
“I am fine and
you,”
“I am good,” she
replied, as she dipped her right hand into her school bag and brought out hot Akara.
“I bought this
for you, take two; I will eat the other two, because there is joy in sharing.”
She said as she stretched out her hands with the Akara offering it to Valentine while looking him expectantly to
collect it. But to her greatest astonishment, he turned the offer down.
“I am sorry, I
don’t want to eat,” he said with all boldness.
“But why?” she asked.
“Because I don’t
want to eat it,”
“You are very
wicked, why then did you promise me yesterday?” she remonstrated.
“Please I am
sorry, I don’t to want that,” he said still holding strong his decision.
“Don’t tell me
that nonsense, stupid idiot,” she shouted at him and left.
“God I thank you
for saving me. Her reaction is clear evidence that she had an evil plan against
me. I have to be very careful and prayerful,” he muttered silently.
At night Abigail
turned into a big snake and appeared inside Valentine room. When the snake got
to where Valentine lay sleeping and made a move to attack him, but at once ten
angels appeared and attacked the snake severely. When it was morning Abigail
became seriously sick and was rushed to the hospital. She was admitted into the
emergency ward. Her suffering lasted for one month, she was lucky, the angels
never wanted to kill her. They only thought her a lesson never to draw nearer
to any child of God.
When she
recovered, she resumed school and was still very angry with Valentine but
couldn’t do him anything because the boy’s power was far greater than hers.
Chief Owa and
his family drove out in their new car to attend a birthday party of his closest
friend. When they arrives the big compound, there were flashy cars parked all
over. Men of high reputations were invited and that explained why there were
many modern cars in the compound.
One of the
officials waved down chief Owa and directed him to a location where he can park
his car. On reaching the spot, they all alighted from the car. They were
gorgeously dressed. Abigail was dressed on purple gown and golden jewelries.
She wore high-hill shoe and with it she was cat-walking as they headed into the
party-hall.
When they were
sighted by the ushers they were giving a seat. The party hall were classically
decorated, light bulbs of different colours radiates gloriously.
The party began
with an opening prayer led by the oldest man in their midst, after which events
began to unfold one after the other.
When it was time
for gift presentation, the host was invited to dance. Immediately he came
onstage, there were sounds of clapping hands all over. The DJ started the music
and he began to dance, his wife and children joined, followed by his friends
and became crowded with dancers. They were dropping their gifts at the host
feet.
As this was
going on, the ushers invited the people for refreshment,, there were varieties
of sumptuous meals displayed. The invitees were advised to queue up, as they
served themselves. Everybody in attendance ate and drank to satisfaction.
It was getting late into the evening, the MC was conscious of time, as he announced the last event before dismissal. The event was a dancing competition for the girls. The MC pointed out four girls and luckily Abigail was among the four lucky girls. When they came out they introduced themselves before the happy spectators, after which the DJ started the music and the competition began, the spectators were clapping and laughing out loudly. It was one of the most entertaining moments of the party. When they had danced for a while, the MC made a sign to the DJ and the music was stopped. The spectators nominated two out of the four and the other two went back to their seat unhappy.
Abigail was
among the successful two, who were to context for the final winner. The music
began as usual and started dancing. Both of them were very good dangers, but
one must be better than the other such was the case as Shantel defeated Abigail
and became the winner of the dancing competition. Abigail received a gift from
the host and went back to her seat very angry and jealous of Shantel.
