"Here we are 25 years later, Sam & l have been blessed with 4 healthy children & our grandchildren"..

He dreamt of being chased by his very self.. He was being chased by his image!!

IT'S UP TO YOU, IT'S IN YOUR VERY POWER TO CHANGE YOUR STORY, FOR WHEN THERE'S A MAN TO PRAY, THERE'S A GOD TO ANSWER!!! Was all his image kept shouting after him..

Mishap woke up with a startle, to realise he was still crying even as he slept..

The words from the dream kept echoing loudly in his ears: "FOR WHEN THERE'S A MAN TO PRAY, THERE'S A GOD TO ANSWER!"

Mishap for the first time in his life, went on his knees & prayed to his Creator...

He didn't mind who watched him as he cried & prayed under the bridge he called his home..

He cried for a change of story & for the preservation of his life..

The next day, Mishap not knowing what to do & where to go decided to roam around.

As he did, a young lad suddenly ran up to him & handed him a package then took off...

Before Mishap could say a word, a group of angry mob had surrounded him, beating & accusing him of stealing the parcel he was holding...

Mishap amidst the chaos tried explaining that the parcel was just placed on him by a young boy whom he didn't know had stolen it..

No one cared about his plight..

The more he spoke, the more he was struck..

Soon, tyre was placed on him & fuel poured on him so he could be burnt alive for a crime he didn't commit..

Title: Mishap
Episode: 3

Soon, tyre was placed on him & fuel poured on him so he could be burnt alive for a crime he didn't commit.

Out of the blue, Mishap felt a strong force pulling him away from the angry mob.

Then came a voice saying, "He is my son, he is my son, let him go. I'll pay triple the cost of whatever was taken!"

The voice was owned by one of the famous industrious men of the town.

At recognising the man, the angry mob let go of Mishap, appraising the industrious man for being supportive to the community.

Mishap was taken away for adequate treatment. He was well fed & affectionately cared for.

Mr Donald, a childless widower who had saved Mishap from the horrible incident told Mishap that he didn't know how but Mishap had a resemblance to that of his late Father.

He, thereafter adopted Mishap as his son, changing Mishap's name to " BOON" meaning VALUABLE, PLEASANT & HELPFUL.

Mishap now Donald Boon became the talk of the town as he brought joy, peace & development not only to his community but to towns & nations far & near.

Everyone now wanted to identify with BOON DONALD.

His mother who abandoned home from his birth also came seeking for forgiveness....

"This is strange", Uche soliloquizes as he stands up straight, studying the weather & adjusting his farm hat...
He had been farming on his plot of land all day hoping to harvest & sell some of his farm produce to enable him cater for his heavily pregnant wife, Uju & his unborn baby..
Suddenly, the cloud turned gloomy; flashes of lightning & thundering quakes accompanied with howling wind lashing the trees, raising dust & sand into the whole atmosphere..
For it was unprecedented that it rained at that particular time of the year not to talk of a storm...
He stood for a few minute in amazement, watching men, women & children who didn't want to be drenched by the downpour scamper to their various homes..
Left with no choice, he picked up the harvested crops & his farm tools then hurried home..
However, the rains didn't spare him as it rained heavily on him like he owed them a fortune & refused to pay..
As he approached his house, he met few of his neighbours standing in his little kitchen shed outside his hut..
Soon the cry of a baby was heard from within, he hastened his pace to confirm his thoughts..
Truly, his wife, Uju had just been delivered of a baby boy.. This was indeed a dream come true for his family as the pregnancy had taken longer than the expected nine month..
Uju carried the pregnancy for 2 years..
"Don't worry my child", one of the traditional priests they had visited assured them..
"For the child which you carry is not an ordinary child. His existence will be a wonder". She concluded..
Finally, his long awaited jewel had arrived...
In his excitement, he asked the midwife of his wife but from her look, he could tell something was wrong..
He was informed of how his wife had pleaded that he looks after their son even in her absence..
That night was terribly unbearable for Uche, as he severally contemplated ending his life but for some reasons, he found hope & ...

THE CAR & THE TRUCK...

Once a king had 2 most loyal servants, a car & a truck...

Occasionally, the car would boast to the truck saying;
"I'm of more value than you are!.. I'm beautiful, fast & l always accompany the king on important functions!"...

"People admire me!! As a matter of fact, I'm usually a major topic of admiration wherever I go unlike you!! Check me out!" She would gloat in pride..

The truck would as usual go quiet, feeling worthless & depressed..

She would walk away in tears asking herself; "Why am I not as fast as the car?"

"Why am I often given difficult tasks?"

"I'm usually struck & even obstructed on my journeys"...

"Am I really useless?"

Days into weeks, the car never failed to remind the truck of how worthless she was compared to her..

One day, the king overheard the car's ranting & decided to teach a lesson..

He ordered that both vehicles be filled to the brim with goods & sent to same destination to deliver...

"Finally!!" The car jumped in excitement.. "I'll finally prove my worth to you, O worthless!!. "I'll get there in no time!" She said to the truck..

Few minutes after setting off, the car arrived gloriously at the destination..

She waited impatiently for the truck..

The truck on the other hand, was once again being obstructed at several points of the road...

She was struck by strangers, had flat tyres & even sustained several injuries..

However, 8 hours later......

MISHAP

"Take him away!" Mira who had just been delivered of a baby boy commanded the midwife..

"I don't want to see him. I hereby name him, MISHAP because his conception & birth have brought me nothing but pains & misery" Mira said in tears..

Mishap meaning badluck was a lad born in very difficult circumstances..

Asides the severe complication & illnesses his mother experienced during his pregnancy; his very conception which was a result of a sexual abuse by some unknown men had thwarted Mira's reality of marrying her noble lover..

She was disgraced & thrown out of her home by her parents when the pregnancy was discovered..

Everyone refused to believe her tales of woe..

A good Samaritan who finally heard her tales & decided to marry & father her son on hearing Mishap's birth, out of excitement fell off a palm tree (where he was tapping wine) & died instantly!

Mira felt her all world had crumbled & ordered that her son, Mishap be taken away from her..

As Mishap grew, he admired his mates who had the privilege of attending schools. He envied those who were well fed & shown affection by their guardians..

Life was unpleasant for Mishap as he could barely feed nor cloth properly.

Each place he went for job hunting refused employing him.

Some who knew him would say, "oh isn't that Mishap, the good for nothing fellow? He's a never-do-well, even his mom said so. Employing him will surely ruin us!".

None wanted Mishap as a friend as they claimed he had a bad aura of bringing negativity into the lives of people..

He was indeed poor & helpless..

On a particular night, after lots of rejection; with nothing to eat Mishap cried himself to sleep.. Then he dreamt...

He dreamt of being chased by his very self.. He was being chased by his own image!!

"Speak to no one until you've both dropped these gourds into EDEKELE river.. This journey if successful will take only few days.. May your journey be productive" she concluded...

Like magic, Sam & l fell asleep at once; then we heard laughters & chatters from all over the strange place..

"Who do you seek?"
"Where are you going?"
"You don't belong here?".. Flashes of faces & people kept appearing & disappearing as they questioned us...

" Come with me!" Came the enticing voices of some very pretty ladies as they tried pulling Sam away...

"I know the way" some very good looking males tried pulling me the other way as they spoke...

Sam & l tightened our grips on each other as we moved towards the calm river... The closer we got to the river, the more serene the environment became...

Just as we were about dropping the gourds into the river, a terrifying voice yelled at us!

"STOP THERE!!" We froze on the spot...

Swiftly, an image appeared before us.. An old naked woman starring fiercely at us with red angry eyes...

"REALLY?!" She hollered.. "You took away my covering & made me naked but here you are wanting to be covered?!"

"No way!!"
"There's no pardon!!" "THE CURSE MUST CONTINUE!!"...

As she spoke, my husband suddenly cried; "My eyes! My eyes!! I can't see!! I can't see a thing!! he wailed as he let go of my hand to rub off whatever was troubling his eyes..

"Sam, this isn't the time for jokes!! You're scaring the S**T out of me!!” I yelled in fear..

"Tamara!!" Sam said facing my direction.. "I AM SERIOUS!! he said in the most solemn voice I've ever heard... "I can't see you!! I can't see anything & I'm in pains"

At this point, Sam's eyes were already bleeding but l couldn't let him know this...

I was scared to my bones....

The old woman laughed hysterically as she found pleasure in our pains..

We just broke the 2 rules; We let go of our hands & spoke...

Instantly, the river became farther from us..

"MERCY you say?!" The goddess spat back in fury..

"The mercy you plead for was abused by your fore fathers years ago when the little girl begged for same mercy"...

"The curse CAN'T be lifted; your wife will have her babies who will in turn have theirs but there'll be none to cater for them"..

As she spoke, the river returned the gourds to our feet..

"I reject your request & for troubling my peace, I've got just the right punishment for you two; you're not leaving here any soon"...

"You'll be my slaves till the appointed time for the curse to be fulfilled"..

As she turned to go, another damsel appeared in the midst of the river...

"Mother", she spoke as she knelt, "please pardon my unexpected presence"

"Speak, my child", mother goddess instructed her..

"That which is almost impossible has occurred, for a filthy vessel has brought forth clean water" she continued..

"We know this is the seed of the cruel men who took advantage of one of your daughters but this seed before us is different"...

"Mother, l have been keeping records; this seed has rewritten his path"...

"He has been a voice to the helpless, widows, fatherless & orphans even in his poor financial state"...

"The couple have both got pure hearts & can't stand to watch people being oppressed"..

"Mother, please temper justice with mercy" she begged on our behalf...

"Let me see", the queen mother took the record scroll to observe the points by herself...

I stood like a moron as l witnessed all the scene unfold like a movie..

I had no idea we were being watched each time we supported the needy..

Oh my world!! Who would have thought acts of kindness would one day save us?... I pondered in amazement..

"Then so be it!" I fired back.. "Nothing will stop me from marrying Sam.. Not even you nor mum" l said as l stormed out of the house in rage...

The wedding held in the absence of all my family members.. There were whispers & murmurings from guests on the reason for the absence of the bride's family but l cared less..

All l dreamt of was being beside my man for the rest of my life...

Sam proved to be everything l prayed for.. I knew he loved me to the moon & back.. I was ready to do anything for him & he reciprocated same..

Once after our wedding, we went visiting my family.. It wasn't a pleasant visit as we were arrested & detained for days just because we visited 'my own parents'...

"What could they have seen about Sam 5 years ago that made them turn against me with so much hatred" l wondered.

I made up my mind never to reach them ever again..

"Welcome, my children", an old woman; a priestess dressed in white said to us as we entered her hut ...

" The journey you're about to embark on is not for the chickenhearted; it's a journey to the realm of spirit & to achieve success you need to be fortified"..

"For 7 days & nights, you'll be right within this hut; fighting for your freedom in the spirit realm.. Don't panic!!! I'll be backing you up" She said as she lifted up a calabash, sprinkling its content on my husband & I....

I stood there watching the priestess as she jumped from side to side speaking loudly in an unknown tongue...

My heart kept beating for what laid ahead of us..

That night our journey to the unknown began...

We laid down on the wooden bed as instructed by mother priestess..

We were dressed in white wrappers & a gourd was placed on each of us...

"Now hold your hands & never let go no matter what you come across.."

"Speak to no one until you've both dropped these gourds into EDEKELE river.. This journey if successful will take only few days.. May your journey be productive" she said..

"There's a solution, Tama," mama said as she nodded her head... "Years ago, after my husband left me, l made my findings on the reason for the family's predicaments & that's how l discovered the root of the problem; 'Nma's death'...

" The curse was placed by a couple who were deeply in love with themselves & as such can only be broken by two sincere lovers"..

"Tama", mama called out my name again as she held my hands & placed them on her laps... " You've been an amazing wife to your husband regardless of your parents disapproval of your Union.. You chose to be with him even in his poor financial state; that's love, Tama!!"

"Only you & Sam can stop this curse from moving to the next generations.. Those who perpetrated the devilish act that led to the curse have been long dead & gone... It's been 7 generations now paying dearly for a crime they knew nothing about...

" Please Tama", she continued "l know the process to breaking this curse is very tough but you'll scale through; Let's put an end to the curse for the sake of our descendants please" she begged; weeping like a baby..
========
Indeed the requirements were daring but l'd better die fighting the curse than surrendering to its force..

I called my office to notify them of my absence from work though it cost me my job but my life, my baby & my home were worth fighting for; l assured myself as l joined my husband & mother in-law in the bus that led us to our first destination, IBIA village..

It was a long trip... My thoughts wandered everywhere & no where at the same time...

I caught myself remembering my wedding eve...

"Tamara, listen to your father!" My mum yelled at me..

"If you go ahead to marry that boy, you'll cease to be my daughter! You'll have no part in my will & life till l leave this world!" My father said as he shouted at me...

"Then so be it!" I fired back.. "Nothing will stop me from marrying Sam!! Not even you nor Mum" l said as l stormed out

Instantly, the river became farther from us than it was originally...

"Sam!" I mustered courage.. "Sam, listen to me!! No matter what, don't let go of the gourd.. That's the only thing left for us to hold on to.. We must drop them in the river once there's an opportunity"...

But l was talking to myself as my Sam had lost it at this point!

"Kill me if you want you witch!! Sam yelled at the old woman..

"Haven't you done enough?"

"Haven't you had your own pound of flesh?"

"You've rendered 7 generations useless!!"

"Have me now!! Feast on me & satisfy your wicked desire!! Where the hell are you?!" he screamed as he walked blindly hoping to pounce on the image..

Her cruel cackling filled everywhere as she spoke; "of course, you'll perish but in a very slow & painful way"...

Immediately, l realised we weren't alone as creatures of different shapes & sizes surrounded us, beating drums as they sang & danced in strange unknown tongues..

Sam & l were like a sacrifice long awaited to be slaughtered..

" What now?" I wondered... "Could this be the end of the way?"..

I held Sam closely, "if this is it then let's die together" I reasoned...

"What's this noise about?" came the most melodious voice I've ever heard...

Everyone & everything gave way to acknowledge the presence of a unique being..

I was face to face with a charming water goddess who was floating on the beautiful EDEKELE river... Her presence brought calm & order...

Then she spoke to me; "why are you here?"

"Em..em.." I stammered.. "Queen mother we're here to plead for mercy.. Pls have mercy on us your children"...

"Queen mother?" Sam enquired in whispers as he signalled we kneel & quickly drop the gourds into the river that was brought closer to us again by the goddess..

"MERCY you say?!" The goddess spat back in fury..

"The mercy you plead for was abused by your fore fathers years ago when the little girl begged for same mercy"...
