Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 24
Nora was carried by two
policemen. She was already
weak that she couldn’t stand
on her own that minute. The
leader of the police officers
around had made a call
through, requesting for an
ambulance as Alex was being
taken away.
David and Gloria were still
outside, awaiting the
policemen to bring him out,
cuffed as he had been cuffed
already. As soon as Gloria set
her eyes on him, she felt bad
and pitied him. “Alex, despite
all I have tried! Despite all the
words of God I shared with
you, I never knew you’d end it
this way. I tried all my best to
bring you to the line of Christ, I
preached to you, I told you
about God but your life never
changed!”
“Can someone who’s
preaching to the other to
change be the one who
invited the policemen to come
and arrest the one she has
been preaching to?” Alex
questioned her.
Gloria wiped her tears.
“Sure. I saved a life now, at
least. No, I even saved two
lives. I saved the life of the
young lady in there and yours!
If I never called the policemen,
you might have killed that lady
inside that house and you
have added to your sins. I did
pray to God to change your
hardened heart, but as God is
trying to change you, you have
never been ready!”
“Officer, aren’t we going
anymore? I have spent
enough time out here.” Alex
said to one of the officers.
“Alex.” Gloria paused for a
while. “I am not crying
because you were caught by
the police force, I am only
crying because if you continue
like this, there will be a day
you’d want to open your eyes
and you won’t, a day you want
to stand, but you can’t. If you
don’t know, it is from the
earth you’ll start suffering for
the evil things you have done.
Notwithstanding, God still
loves you.” She turned around
and walked to David’s car to
lean against.
Alex was just quiet. He was
touched by her last statement.
He was pushed along into the
car and was taken away.

Nora was already lying on
the hospital bed. She opened
her heavy eyes and spotted
Gloria, right beside her. The
face looked so much familiar
but she couldn’t remember
where exactly she saw the
face. She dimmed her eyes and
gave her a second look but
she still couldn’t remember
where she knew her.
“You’re awake now? Has
the pains gone down?” Gloria
asked her quickly.
Nora nodded with a smile.
“I am Gloria, I am not sure if
you know me, but I have seen
your face before.” Gloria said.
“Sure, I have seen you
before, but can’t actually
fathom where exactly.”
Gloria smiled. “Probably at
Esmak Plaza, where I met your
husband and where you met
Alex that day.” Gloria reminded
her.
“Oooh…” Nora smiled.
“That’s true.”
Gloria laughed. She stood
and crossed her hands. “How
are you now? Hope the pains
are not much?” She enquired.
“Not really. I never knew
you were a Doctor.” She
continued smiling.
“Doctor?” Gloria laughed. “I
am not a Doctor.” She replied.
Nora was surprised. What is
she now doing here? She
wondered.
“I was the one knocking at
Alex’s door then, when you
were shouting for help. I had
to invite the officers who
helped you out.”
“What? Really?” Nora tried
to sit up.
Gloria took some steps
forward quickly. “No, you
don’t have to! You really have
to get some rest, sister.”
Nora smiled broadly. Tears
had formed on her eyes
already as she heard that it
was Gloria’s work. “I’m forever
grateful to you… em.. please I
need to remember your
name.”
“I’m Gloria.” She grinned as
she spoke.
Nora chuckled. “Thanks so
much, God will bless you.” She
added.
“Amen.”
“But, why did you do that?
At least Alex is your Fiancé, or
am I wrong?”
“Even if he were to be, I’d
still have done what I did. He
was hurting you, wasn’t he?
How will he be doing that and
I won’t be able to rescue
you?”
Nora didn’t even know what
more to say, she just kept
quiet for a while before she
could speak again. “I am really
grateful, Gloria.”
“It’s nothing, Nora. But
how’s Daniel now? I haven’t
seen him. How do we contact
him?” Gloria enquired.
There was a brief silence.
Nora began to cry as Gloria
asked her the questions.
“Daniel was shot dead the day
I was kidnapped. He was shot
by his forehead and I was
taken away. Daniel is.. he is
gone..”
“No… He is alive!” Tonia
bustled in.
