*EPISODE ELEVEN*
Mercy only hope was about to be scattered again. She couldn’t stop thinking of her dad reaction. She wished there is something she could do to make him see she is a changed being but there is no hope for her.
“Mercy….. Mercy……Mercy” her mother shouted but she refused to answer.
Her mother understood what’s going on as she opened the door to her room and she met her on the bed crying
“Oh… mercy, you refused to eat and come out again this morning for prayers. What is going on with you? For how long are you going to be like this? Or for how long are you going to stay offended because of what your father said. I believe you know him and ignoring him won’t change anything. Your father loves you and he want the best for you” her mother said as she didn’t reply her
“Mercy say something, your silence is killing me” her mother said
“What do you expect me to say mummy when it’s obviously a planned work between you and him. You don’t even support me. You both make me feel you aren’t my parents. Probably I was adopted” Mercy said angrily in tears
“Mercy you have said more than your mouth should say. How will you think of us in such a way. Believe me, I always support you. You just have to understand your father and do whatever he ask of you. I know he will change his mind with time but you need to change, in other for that to change. I am leaving for work, make sure you eat before I come back. I love you darling” her mother said and left
*EPISODE 12*
“Lord, I am confused. Help me not to be resentful towards him. My father is pushing me to the wall. I am losing my mind and all I am thinking now is how to make him regret his actions “Help me oh Lord” Mercy said as she wiped her tears and went outside.
She went to the kitchen, carried her food and began to eat. While she was eating, her phone rang and it was Busayo.
“Why is this one calling now” she said as she declined the call. It rang the second time and as she was about to pick it, someone knock on the door
“Who is that? Mercy asked as she moved closer to the door. She peeped and saw it was her dad. She quickly switched off her phone and open the door.
“Good morning sir” She greeted. Her father nodded as he quickly entered his room to pick his file and he came out.
He looked at her for awhile as she was eating.
“Don’t you think it’s time for you to calm down because I expect you to know you can never win this battle. I am still your father” He said.
“I am not in any battle with you sir. I have just been busy with my Father(GOD). Hence, he is the only one that trust and knows me well than anybody” Mercy said with so much confidence
“I have little words to say to you now. You know what, we will talk later when I come back. By then, you will know my final decision. If you will go to Enugu state or not” he said without waiting for her reply as he stepped out.
Mercy became worried, she felt as if she was in a war with her father as tears were dropping from her eyes.
