by MY COMFORT ZONE : EPISODES 21 – THE END OF SEASON 1
Princess Stories
A lot has happened in just two weeks.
David presented himself to his manager the very next day after his return.
The manager who was excited to see him alive and in one piece rushed to give him a hug, while promising that the people behind his kidnap will be brought to book.
Exactly seven days later, the police visited David’s company and Mr. Daniel was arrested. It came as a shock to David when he found out Daniel, a trusted friend, masterminded his kidnap.
Daniel on the other hand couldn’t believe he would apprehended by the police. He had his tracks well covered, plus he ensured he wasn’t monitored or followed by anyone.
Unfortunately for him, Toyo was arrested and was forced to expose those who patronized his “services”. Toyo who couldn’t bear going down alone began taking the police to his regular customers which included Daniel.
“I swore to myself I won’t be brought down alone.” Toyo thought to himself, smiling mischievously as he watched Daniel get arrested right in his presence.
Three days after his arrest, Rick was demoted to a far lower rank than he initially was. Unknown to him and Daniel, the manager had planted a CCTV camera in each office during the time the company was losing money mysteriously; so their discussion about Daniel was captured alongside other devious acts.
Knowing that he and Daniel were responsible for the sudden loss of money got the manager mad.
“I’m only permitting you to keep your job simply because you refused to connive with Daniel to commit murder against one of my staff.
If not, I would’ve dismissed you from this company entirely.” The manager told him the day he was summoned to his office.
Back in the office, David was compensated with an increase in his salary to last for six consecutive months.
“I’m sorry for all the stress you went through few weeks ago. It’s indirectly our fault because the culprit happens to be one of our staff.
We didn’t know we harbored such a wicked and dubious being amongst us.” The board of directors told him.
David was glad everything had ended well: the culprits have been arrested and the remaining prisoners they left behind have been freed to unite with their loved ones again.
One evening, David was enjoying the company of his wife when he received a text message from an unknown number.
“Hello my brother, this is Micheal your friend…..
I know you must hate me by now so I didn’t bother texting or calling you with my original number.
I want to say I’m sorry for all the pain I’ve caused you and your family.
I’m so sorry for backstabbing you when you trusted me so much. Honestly I have no excuse other than to plead for your forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.
I did what I did because of the money.
My wife was (and still is) terribly sick and I came home to look for money to treat her. She’s the bread winner of the family so I honestly can’t let sickness take her away from me.
I value my wife so much that I’d be pained if she dies. Look there’s no need for deceit anymore: I treat my wife like an egg, much more than I treat you. She’s all I’ve got and has been sponsoring me for the past two years now.
I’m really sorry for being a bad friend.
But David I need your help on something. I need you to forgive me of all my wrongs ever committed against you.
The money I was offered to betray your trust is more than useless to me. It isn’t solving any of my problems over here.
My wife isn’t getting any better. Despite the money I was able to get before departing from the country to meet my wife, it still wasn’t enough to treat her.
Now few days ago, I had an accident that affected my leg, so I can’t even run around for money anymore, as we speak. Not only that, I feel doom all around me David, like nothing is ever going to work for me in this life anymore; and a part of me tells me all this is happening because of my evil deeds to you.
That’s why I’m begging you to forgive me…please.
I’m sorry for my wrong deed towards you, and for betraying your trust.
Please forgive me…you have to forgive me because I’m living an empty life.
I know you’re alive, and are going to receive this message because I’ve always known you to be a devout Christian and the God that you serve will deliver you from wicked souls like me and the colleague of yours that wanted you dead at all cost; so please once you receive this message and have forgiven me from your heart, I need you to reply this message.
Your reply would bring a lot of hope to me because I know I’d receive strength to man up and fight again once I’m forgiven.
From someone not worthy to be called your friend or best friend,
Micheal”
David was stunned when he read the long message from Michel.
“You will rot wherever you are. Backstabber!” David cursed. Belinda rose up from his chest in shock.
“What is it? What are you reading that’s getting you so pissed off?” Belinda asked. David gave her his phone to see for herself.
“Hmmm…wow.” Was all Belinda could say when she was done reading.
She turned to her husband and rubbed his bare chest softly.
“You still hold anything against him?” She asked with a soft tone.
“Babe that guy betrayed me. He betrayed my trust!” He said with pain in his voice
“Which would’ve been worse? Your best friend betraying you and your trust, or God betraying you and your trust in him?” Belinda asked. David faced her with a questioning look.
“What’s your point?”
“God didn’t betray you, neither did he betray me and your daughter; so whatever he did should be a thing of the past. Please forgive him, and let’s move on with our lives. The future ahead of us is too bright to accommodate unforgiveness.” Belinda said.
David listened to his wife.
That same hour, David sent a text message back to Michel, stating that he had forgiven him and really holds nothing him.
“That’s my man!” Belinda hailed as soon as he sent the message. David chuckled.
“It’s because of God and you that I sent that message o.”
“So you haven’t forgiven him, even after all my preaching?”
“Which preaching? Was that preaching abi motivational quote?” David asked as Belinda laughed heartily.
“I’m just so glad things are back to normal.” She said, looking into his eyes.
“Me too.”
“A toast to a deeper relationship with God.” Belinda said with her palm up in the air. David gave a questioning look.
“Where’s the glass?”
“Just co-operate, my hand is hanging in the air.” Belinda said. David smiled and gave her a high-5
“Cheers!!!”
