The SHEnanigans 9

PART 9 " THE SHENANIGANS" ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  "This is my wife Osas!" Wisdom said .Osas stretched forth her hand for a handshake but Lefty couldn't imagine himself shaking the hand that looked like Icecream. "Lefty!" Wisdom called his name to get him out of that state he was in.. " I am sorry ma, I can't shake your hands, my rough hands is an insult to your beautiful hands ma" Lefty said sincerely but it sounded like a joke in their ears as everyone burst out in laughter... " Yeah, that's because she is the one that spends all the money I make from scouting all around the world" " No, you met me this classy!" Osas said cutely. Lefty felt something move in his heart. He knew that familiar feeling. It was the feeling of falling for someone.   "Guy, you are crazy oo, your village people have escorted you here, you better don't end up in prison for falling for your helper's wife" Lefty cautioned hims...

PART 8 "THE SHENANIGANS" ©️ Opeyemi Akintunde   "Morayo, you know if I was a girl I would have gone, don't be selfish and help our family "  Ayomide pushed Morayo remembered Ayomide's words that gave her the push to follow Aunty Gloria without informing her father. " God, I hope I am not taking the wrong step!" Morayo thought as they travelled  " Ada!"  Morayo's heart suddenly remembered her best friend.  She had left the house in so much rush she didn't remember Ada had promised to check on her.   "By God's Grace!" Morayo remembered what Ada had said about a lot of things happening in hours that could hinder them from seeing each other in the morning. She had been right! ****** " What do you mean she has travelled abroad? Ayomide, stop the joke and tell me where she is!" Ada  screamed at Ayomide who appeared to be toying with her feelings. "I am serious Ada,  she has relocated " Ayomide said prou...

PART 7 "THE SHENANIGANS" ©️ Opeyemi Akintunde  "Where is the picture? " Wisdom asked "Here!" Osas said giving him her phone "Wow! She is a beautiful" Wisdom said " Yeah! So what can we do to make her come over in the morning." Osas shifted his focus from the Morayo's Beauty  "Let's project a good dream about you into her dream life to negate whatever contrary opinion she has concerning you" Wisdom said  "Thoughtful, that way her dream would negate the counselling she has been receiving. " " Exactly, So cook up a nice dream about you" " I already have one!" " Ok, no time to waste time" Wisdom settled into a chair while holding Osas' phone. He zoomed into Morayo's picture specifically her eye balls. " Morayo, I speak to your Spirit man now and I order you to listen to everything that you will hear now. Begin to imagine the words and begin to experience it as real. ...

PART 6 " The SHEnanigans" ©️Opeyemi Akintunde   " What kind of dream is this? What does it mean?". Morayo asked herself continuously... ****** " In the garden of Eden, it was a snake that deceived them into losing God's original plan for their lives" Ada replied  Morayo had used her father's phone to call Ada's mum. Ada's mum knew the call was for Ada not her. " Morayo, I prayed to God last night that He should speak to you about that Lady and I am happy He did. Morayo, that woman is the snake."  " Hmm.. That's the first person who flashed through my mind while I was thinking about the dream." Morayo concurred. " Alright dear, Early to sleep, early to rise. See you in the morning" Ada said " You will see me in the morning?" Morayo asked very surprised because she knew Ada had to get to her salon on time. Ada's boss was very strict when it came to resuming work early. " Yes, on my way to t...

PART 5 " The SHENANIGANS " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde   MINUTES EARLIER... Adaobi reached home but her mind was far from home, her mind was totally with Morayo. She had an uneasy feeling about the Lady Morayo spoke excitedly about.  " God, I don't like the feeling I am having about this Lady. Lord, if this Lady is coming to disrupt your plans for Morayo's life, destroy her plans in Jesus name. Lord, visit Morayo this night in her sleep and let her see this Lady for who she is." Ada prayed Three streets away from Ada's house, Morayo stood outside her house beside the well, she imagined the new life she would start living soonest, once she started working as a maid in the Lady's house. Aunty Gloria had told her the Woman's work she would be doing was a housekeeper's job. Aunty Gloria had told her, if she was a good girl, the Lady would take her abroad. " I will make sure, I become a good girl, so I can travel abroad and someday come back to Niger...

PART 4 " The SHEnanigans" ©️Opeyemi Akintunde   " I met a beautiful lady today, you should have seen her skin, God! Ada, Money is good. Whoever says I will not have money, the ground will open up and swallow that person in Jesus name." Morayo said to Ada on their way back from Bible Study . " Was that why you were blushing throughout the service.  I am sure you didn't hear a word out of today's Bible study." Ada queried her "My dear, we have been listening to Bible study since we were born but who Bible Study help? My dear, I am begining to rethink this Christianity thing ooo, because my mother who was so into the church thing was not protected from death, so I am not afraid of death, anytime it wants to come, let it come. What I am more scared of, is dying without enjoying my life here on earth. Adaobi, it won't make sense that I came to this world to just suffer and die." " Morayo, we will still have this money, let's just ...

PART 3 " The SHEnanigans" ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  Osas walked into the Shenanigan Coven, she was bubbling with excitement. She was about to hit a big jackpot. Aunty Gloria had just given her a big Orange she was going to suck dry. Wisdom had got in earlier than Osas, he sat by his own Coven desk with his "STAR  SEARCHER" device, he was  staring studiously at the screen as he searched continuously for a new and untapped star. The World was getting so empty, it was becoming very difficult to find untapped stars amongst the chidren of men. " Hey! SHE greets you!" Osas said. " HE greets you too" Wisdom responded It was the custom of the members of the SHENANIGANS to great themselves with HE or SHE. "What's with the excitement?" Wisdom asked Osas whose desk was directly opposite him. " Found a new game. I wasn't even hunting..., the hunt was just brought my way." Osas said excitedly  " What's her star weight?" Wi...

PART 2 " The sHEnanigans" ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  " Lefty! Lefty! " Chinedu shouted trying to catch up with Samuel who had his earphones plugged in... Chinedu evetually caught up with him and in a playful manner,  pulled out the right earpiece to express his feigned anger... " Guy, stop using this thing everytime, a car may hit you!" Chinedu said playfully but his smile gradually faded on seeing the face Lefty gave him. Chinedu wondered what he had done wrong,  and in seconds he was able to figure it out... " Which kain play be this?" ( What kind of play is this?) Samuel who is popularly referred to as Lefty said in anger... " Chinedu,  I don't like this, do you know how long it took me to save up for this earpiece, Guy this earpiece cost N1500 Naira and it took me five months to sucessfully save up for it!"   Chinedu's mouth hung open, one could not tell what shocked him the most. Was it the fact that Lefty shouted at him for unkn...

#Spiritualmealno2 PART 1 "The SHEnanigans " ©️Opeyemi Akintunde  INSPIRED BY THE TRUTH REVEALER. Beauty was the definition of Morayo, but Penniless was the best description of who she was in her own eyes. Morayo sat in front of her late mother's  empty shop which could pass for a closed shop. The glory of the shop had departed.There was nothing left  in the store. Her mother's demise swept away everything they owned. She and her siblings were left with no hope. The future was looking bleak, thanks to the wasteful life their father was living. Adio was the community drunk, he was so notorious a drunk that as early as 7:30am he was already wasted... "How can you be fine like this and be poor, Babe you dey waste ooo" Morayo remembered Aunty Gloria's usual words. She watched in lust as Aunty Gloria was joyfully counting  the Naira notes  she was making from   selling her wears two shops away. Aunty Gloria was the thrift cloth seller. In Nigeria, where they...

Unfulfilled promises 2 Epilogue

***UNFULFILLED PROMISES P2*** Written by Audrey Tim's Epilogue Tonia fell on her grandmother and sobbed profusely when she ended her story. Oleng held her granddaughter tightly and couldn’t help crying too. They were like that for a while. Tonia pulled away to look into the eyes of her cherished grandmother. “Oh, grandma, you went through all that? You’re a very strong woman. I’m glad I was named after you.” She sniffed. Oleng smiled and used her hands to wipe away the tears from her granddaughter’s eyes. “It’s okay, my love. Please stop crying. My early years weren’t happy ones but my latter years have been nothing but bliss with your grandfather. If I were to turn back the hands of time, I’d do it all over again because I learnt a lot; though I’d be wiser this time around.” Her granddaughter smiled. “I learnt a lot too, grandma. Thanks for telling me the story of your life. There’s no doubt I would have lived your life all over again with my boyfriend, Jude, but now that I’ve hea...

Unfulfilled promises 2 Episode 40&41

UNFULFILLED PROMISES P2 Written by Audrey Timms The Great Finale Episode 40-41 A week later Oleng and the kids moved into Eric’s new house. They had gone shopping together for all the things they needed in the house; furniture, electronics, kitchen utensils etc. Eric hadn’t wanted a single pin removed from Dave’s house and Oleng had agreed with him. They planned on giving some of the things out and selling some. They also planned on selling the house. There was so much joy at the relocation. People talked of course! Oleng went to her favorite saloon in the estate to fix her hair before the final move and heard two women talking about her. They didn’t know she was the woman in particular. They even twisted the whole story to make it juicier. She had smiled throughout. The hair dresser had given them signs to keep quiet but they didn’t notice. When Oleng was through, she greeted them and introduced herself. Till her dying day, she would always laugh at the shock on their faces. Busy bodi...
