PASTOR FEMI
EPISODE 1
Subtitle: living in my own dream
I woke up feeling very sad, I mean look at me…..i have everything I nee-d in life but one thing is missing and that’s true love….i am a very selective person.
I have tried so many relationships but all have failed…. I won’t say the guys are to be blame though….I am always the problem … one thing about the guys would turn me off…. is either his too short, or tall, or too slim or too fat…. I can’t seem to get the perfect one that would sweep me off my feet.
I laid on my bed still blaming God for not giving me a man of my choice….. the ringing of my phone brou-ght me back to my senses.
It was my friend chioma that was calling, I hissed and picked the call.
KENDRA
babe how far na?
CHIOMA
fine…. good morning.
KENDRA
morning…. this one you are calling me this early.
CHIOMA
what do you mean? it’s already 10pm girl….did you forget our appointment with the doctor?
KENDRA
what appointment….. oh my God…..it totally skipped my mind… give me few minutes to freshen up.
CHIOMA
why won’t you forget when you are always worrying over what’s not important.
KENDRA
not today chioma… I’m not in the mood to listen to your lecture about picking any man and settling down with.
CHIOMA
now she sounds as if I’m the evil one here….I’m not saying you should pick any random man and get married to…. ken you see alot of men everyday, responsible men and well to do…. why won’t or can’t you just settle with one
KENDRA
I will be waiting for you madame….. bye
I said and hung up….. chioma will not stop lecturing me about settling down …. she thinks Francis would marry her? I just pity her… if I tell her where I have seen that her so called boyfriend and what he was doing she would stop trusting all this men…. but I kept quiet because I didn’t want to hurt my friend.
I quickly ran to the bathroom to shower.
chioma and I got to the hospital and our day kicked off with the usual hospital go here and do this rule.
Chioma and I was just going from one lab to another ….. soon we were done with all the lab test and scan so we sat at the lobby waiting for chioma’s result.
CHIOMA
girl I’m so hungry.
KENDRA
you are hungry again? babe you better watch the way you eat….. you are adding too much weight.
CHIOMA
(She looked her body?
are you serious? I’m adding weight like this?
KENDRA
what has Francis being feeding you with? and don’t tell me he been complaining about your size?
CHIOMA
he has been feeding me with good sp-erm girl…. beside he loves me like this
“why would he complain when he has a slim fitted body girl out there”
I murmured to myself..
CHIOM
you said what?
KENDRA
oh nothing….. so what will you eat…….
I was still talking when we started to hear a man scream
MAN
you can’t tell me my wife is dead, no, no I can’t believe it…. I want to see my wife.
Those words got me and chioma to look very sad…. we decided to stand up and go close to hear more…. I saw a nurse and pulled her.
KENDRA
please excuse me
NURSE
how may I help you.
KENDRA
what happened to the man’s wife?
NURSE
oh…she’s dead…..
(She said like it’s normal for someone to just die like that)
KENDRA
she died? just like that?
I asked her like it takes so much before someone dies…. she looked at me before giving me more details
NURSE
she has been in labor for three days, I guess she couldn’t bear it again so she died.
KENDRA
oh my goodness…. that’s bad…. thanks nurse.
I watched this mature man cry like a baby, he held a little girl of about two years in his arms…. as he cried she also cried with him …i was guessing it’s the Man’s child.
Chioma and I returned back to our seat, even after chioma had changed the subject I still couldn’t stop thinking about that woman and her unborn child…. I kept feeling like there was something I could do.
CHIOMA
babe what’s wrong na? this one you are looking like this.
KENDRA
I just feel so sad for that man and his entire family.
Not long the mother of the lady too came, her weeping made me to weep too…. apparently she’s the only child of the woman…. she wept like she was going to die.
About four nurses held her but she was stronger than them… she didn’t want to be consoled…. she wanted to die with her daughter too.
A nurse came to inform chioma that the doctor was ready for her… she got up and pulled me but I couldn’t move.
KENDRA
I will wait here please.
CHIOMA
babe you don’t follow me inside because a woman died?
KENDRA
I just don’t un-derstand myself too….o feel weird chioma…
CHIOMA
how do you mean?
KENDRA
I feel like I could help the dead woman
I immediately regretted my last word because chioma started to laugh at me really ha-rd.
CHIOMA
(Laughing)
I’m sorry but it’s just funny girl…. you want to help a dead woman? as who? E.A Adeboye? or who? girl you nee-d to snap out of this madness joor.
she tried to pull me up but I refuse to stand up so she got up and went to the doctor’s office.
I saw two nurses dragged the man from the room the woman just died in…. he joined his mother inlaw and they wept the more.
I just keep having this strong feeling like I could do something…. the feeling got so strong that I started to hear my strange voices.
“why do you doubt yourself? are you so deaf that you can not hear the voice of the Lord”?
I turned around to be sure I was the person this voice was talking too…. after turning my ne-ck like I would break it…. I still didn’t see who was talking.
“oh yee of little faith, have I not told you that if your faith is as small as a muster seed you can move mountains”?
“go and do what I have laid in your heart, so my glory can be made manifest.”
that was it, I didn’t know who was talking and I really didn’t care at that moment… I got up and walked straight into the woman’s ward…. a nurse came
NURSE
Why are you here ma? please I think you should leave….
I gnored her and moved closer to the dead woman….. she looked so beautiful…. when I say beautiful trust me… she’s so fair in complexion that you will mistake her for a white woman…. I hesitated before I tou-ched her cold body.
NURSE
you can’t be in here madam….or are you related to the woman?
KENDRA
I don’t know who she is…..
NURSE
More reason why you should leave.
I ignored the nurse and focused on my attention on the body….I stare at her innocent and beautiful face untill tears dropped from my eyes .

EPISODE 2
Subtitle: A miracle
The nurse noise became too much for me to bear so I turn to look at her harshly…. like I could beat her up she said
NURSE
since you want to be treated like a child, you will get treated that way.
KENDRA
madam go outside and stop making noise like you owe this hospital.
NURSE
I should be the one telling you that…. I will call the security on you.
The mother of the girl came inside and saw me seating in front of her dead daughter’s bed, with tears in my eyes and hers she asked.
WOMAN
you know my daughter?
I nodded my head negatively and tou-ched the dead woman.
KENDRA
why are you lying down there, open your eyes and see how sad your husband and mother looks…..
I don’t know where that confident came from, but I was sure my word carried power….
KENDRA
Get up and go to your family….. they nee-d you….come back with the innocent baby inside of you too.
The nurse laughed and clapped her hands like a crazy woman.
NURSE
now I see that you are mad….. you want…..
She was still saying but the dead woman opened her eyes and tou-ched my arm gently whi h made me shock.
KENDRA
she’s awake
(I screamed)
As if the mother and nurse didn’t hear me very well they asked me to repeat myself….well it wasn’t a big deal cause I wanted to repeat myself when the woman started screaming…. she had resumed labor again.
The nurse in shock ran out screaming and telling everyone who she bumped into that the dead woman had waken up.
The mother of the dead woman came and knelt down at my feet.
WOMAN
For wiping away tears from the eyes of a poor woman like me…. God will always wipe away tears from yours too.
Okay have you ever done something and later you start wondering If you were possessed or you had a lost of time.
I didn’t say a word cause there was nothing to say….I got up and left the woman’s presence….. she followed me singing and Parising me like I’m some sort of a god…. I went back to the lobby where I was seating with chioma before…. the nurse that ran out started to point at me.
NURSE
that’s the lady, she’s the one who brou-ght the dead woman back to life…. she just spoke to her and she obeyed… she’s so powerful.
Everyone started to gather, before I could even digest what was going on…. almost all the hospital patients came out begging me to help heal them…. some who their family members have even been dead for a while we’re asking I bring them back to life.
LIke who the hell do they think I am? Jesus Christ or God himself”?
Their noise started to give me headache, I started to see people double cause I started to feel dizzy.
Someone grabbed me from behind, when I turned it was my friend Chioma
CHIOMA
I don’t know what happened but we nee-d to leave here before you go viral.
I nodded my head I agreement and followed her…. I wanted to enter my car but she stopped me
CHIOMA
you can’t drive in this condition…. I will drive.
I gave her the keys and went to seat at the other side…. she drove away.
We got to my house and I immediately went inside to lie down on the couch.
CHIOMA
what in God’s name happened there ken.
KENDRA
I had no idea too okay…. I just know I was feeling powerful all of a suddenly…..
CHIOMA
you felt powerful? how does that even make any sense Kendra? I mean you brou-ght a dead woman back to life….. is not like you are Jesus Christ or something.
KENDRA
you have known me almost all my life…. have you ever seen me perform magic before? you know how I feel about all this miracle stuffs….i don’t believe miracle exist….. I can’t really tell what happened there.
CHIOMA
(She took her seat)
that is crazy…. and confusing.
KENDRA
all I want to do now is sleep… I feel like my head would break.
CHIOMA
I will just go home…. will you be alright?
KENDRA
I guess I will be.
CHIOMA
okay… just call me if you nee-d anything.
KENDRA
I will sure do…. say me hi to francis
I know she was rushing home to show Francis the test result…. wait how did I know the result when she didn’t even tell me about it.
KENDRA
and babe….. congratulations
CHIOMA
(she looked shocked)
to what?
KENDRA
you are with a child.
Chioma was shocked, she fell on the couch back with her mouth wide open.
CHIOMA
now you are beginning to scare me.
KENDRA
wait are you actually pregnant?
CHIOMA
I wouldn’t be so shock if you weren’t right girl…. what’s going on?
KENDRA
fuc-k…. I’m I losing my sanity or what? how did I know you are pregnant? I thought you went to the hospital to check your sugar level and high BP? how come it turned out you are pregnant?
CHIOMA
I was surprised when doctor mark told me I’m expecting a child…. I mean I saw my period last two weeks.
KENDRA
this is crazy…. I’m just confuse chi
CHIOMA
I’m equally confused…. but don’t worry we will talk to pastor Titus about it on Sunday.
KENDRA
(I laughed)
that your pastor that always look drunk before climbing the pulpit….. I think I will pas-s.
CHIOM
Common babe, stop talking ill of the man of God…. you know he doesn’t drink.
KENDRA
How would I know? he looks so slim and manurish.
CHIOMA
I’m not going to seat here and listen to this evil talk…. I’m off.
she got up and gave me a hu-g before she warned me to stay away from alcohol and left
CHIOMA
Don’t hit the bottle baby girl.
KENDRA
I will try not to…. greet Francis for me.
CHIOMA
trust that I will…. bye.
She walked to the door, she turn to wave at me for the last time…. I saw how happy she looked and I suddenly felt pity for my friend…. francis isn’t the right man for her… but she’s too in love to see it….. this baby wouldn’t even make him change his way.
KENDRA
chioma
CHIOMA
yes?
KENDRA
I hope this news brings a new turn in your relationship.
CHIOMA
(She smiled)
thanks
I smiled back at her, she waved me for the last time and left…. since we went out in my own car… she would take a taxi home.
Immediately chioma was out of my compound I went straight to my wine bar and took a bottle of wine… without glas-s cu-p I started to drink my wine.
I woke up around 6pm with a loud bang on my head, I didn’t even know I had fallen asleep while drinking…I brou-ght out my phone from my bag and saw that I had twenty two miss calls from chioma and my younger sister who is married in the State.
I wondered what was wrong….i immediately called my sister she answered immediately like she was waiting for my call.
NATASHA
I have almost lost my baby because of you sis.
KENDRA
what’s up sis…. what is wrong?
NATASHA
I should be the one asking you that sis, I decided to scroll the internet today and there you were all over social media.
KENDRA
(I laughed)
the last time I checked Nat I’m not a celerity neither I’m I a pornstar….so why would I be on the net?
NATASHA
it pains me so much when I’m serious and you take me for granted.
KENDRA
okay, I’m sorry little sis…. what did you see on the internet about me?
NATASHA
I heard you raise a dead woman…. every platform had carried the news…. what really happened sis?
hearing Natasha saying that made me seat up very well on my couch…. so this wasn’t a dream but a reality?
KENDRA
I think my life is fuc-king over Nat.
NATASHA
tell me what I don’t know….
I was no longer in the mood to talk to my sister again…. I was not even in the mood to speak with any one… I was just confuse and I wished I was dreaming in another dream.
