Maraa - Season 1 - Episode 12

I looked at him
“Are you the one responsible for the pregnancy?” I asked and he nodded
“She is my girlfriend”
“So, why did you get her pregnant?” I asked and he looked at me as if I was the most absurd person on earth

“I love her. She is my girlfriend. How do I show her love if not through this?”
I shook my head

“And who says that having sex with a lady means showing her love? If you love her, you would go and asked for her hand in marriage form her parents. You are very wrong!” I said forcefully and the boy smiled
“She loves it too. Even if I don’t touch her, she would come close to me, just for me to touch her” he said and I shuddered
“Who are your parents, they need to be informed about your condition” I said and the girl raised her head.

“No ma. Don’t tell them. I will go home with Haruna. He is my husband” she said and I was shocked

“You love this person over your parents?”
“Yes. He is the only person that loves me in the whole wide world. He sees the good in every part of me” she explained, gasping for air.
“That he says that to you does not mean he loves you. It could be lust.” I said and she shook her head.

“I prefer the expressed lust he has to the unexpressed love my parents say they have towards me” she said again and I simply shook my head
“What is your name?” I asked
“Kehinde” she replied
“Surname?” I asked again
“Olowo” she replied again
And my tightened muscles loosened as my mouth caved into a small, perfect ‘O’!
“Did you go into any blood covenant?” that was the first question the pastor asked as he set his eyes on her
I smiled

Even I was becoming a prophetess!
I knew it was nothing but blood covenant!
“Sir, she had some incisions done on her”
It was then I realized that I had not even asked when she got the incisions and how
“Yes. The incisions are obvious and her parents had the incisions done on her body from birth in order to dedicate her to their family gods even though they were Christians at that time. Right?” the pastor asked
And she nodded

“I read it from my mum’s diary that I was dedicated to Olunlu, the god of Ilan, my village”
“Your mum kept a diary? She was learned?” I asked and she nodded
“They called you Glory but from birth, your portion had been shame.” The pastor revealed and I watched
I would reach that level one day too!
I didn’t tell the pastor anything about this woman so how he got to know was so wonderful to me.
“In accordance with the injunction of the herbalist, you were carried nakedly around the market square for 21 days after your birth to wade off evil and that was when the glory departed” the pastor narrated on.
He hadn’t even held her hands to pray for her o
But everything he said was true as she nodded amazingly to the words of the pastor.
“This is wonderful! God still exists o! Real men of God are alive” she exclaimed.
“You are right about what you just said but don’t be carried away by words of revelations and discernment as some false prophets can actually replicate that. Just know in your heart that God is alive and it shall be well despite the influx of many false prophets”

“Hmmm…this is wonderful! I am stirred” she exclaimed, looking intently at his face in awe.
“But, there is more to all that is happening to you. The incisions are the genesis of the problem but the Spirit of the Lord is telling me that there is more to it.” He said
“What?” she asked
“I am not being told. It is being held from me by the Lord.” He said

“Ah! What could it be?” she asked, so seriously
“I thought as much. I felt it deep in my spirit that something else still hangs in the air” I said too.

“Yes…something like Blood…I see blood!” the pastor said and we looked at one another questionably

“Your deliverance hangs onto your confession…if you could but confess”
“Blood? I have never killed anybody in my life o….not even an unborn baby” she said, tears gathering in her eyes.
“Just think deeply if you have been involved in some bloody transaction like that…” The pastor urged on

Was the case becoming pathetic?
Her daughter lay on the bed in the adjacent ward recuperating from a dangerous abortion attempt.
Another revelation of ‘Blood’ has resurfaced
God, please intervene oo
