Josephine tried to touch her daughter but Elizabeth landed her mother a slap. “Ugly woman, don’t touch again, I don’t know you”
Elizabeth said to her mother.
Elizabeth was not mentally stable, so she could not understand what she was doing. Josephine held her cheeks in pain, she watched as her young and beautiful daughter sat, as a mad person.
The doctor already told them to that there is nothing he can do to help her daughter. And he told them that the madness might be spiritual related.
Josephine took her mad daughter back to the house in shame. At the very first time in her life, she remembered God. She told her parents that she wants to take her daughter to a stronger man of God, maybe they may help her.
“Josephine in as much as we don’t want to tell you, we think this is a ritual, your daughter has been used for a ritual in wherever place she slept that night.” Josephine parents said to her.
“I cover my daughter with the blood of Jesus!! If not her portion, mama if you don’t have anything reasonable to say then just leave me alone with my daughter, she is not and never be a victim of ritual.” Josephine replied.
Elizabeth sat there, talking to herself and dragging with her mother. “I want to go! I want to go and make my hair!! Leave me alone!! She shouted, her words were are meaningless.
“I think you should inform her father, Josephine I know the both of you are not together anymore, but he needs to what is happening” her parents told her.
Later that day, Josephine invited a man who claimed to be a strong man of god, to the house. The man prayed and prayed. Then he told Josephine to sow a seed of 100 thousand naira before he began then stronger prayer.
Josephine didn’t hesitate to drop the money to the man, after the prayer. The man Told Josephine that her daughter will be fine soon, then he left.
But days went after days, nothing worked not even the prayer from the man. And Elizabeth condition was getting worse. She was growing into a more mad person.
“Mama the prayer didn’t work, it been five days now and my daughter is still mad.” Josephine says.
“So you think that fake prayer would work, someone who asked for 100k to heal someone, that is a fake pastor” Josephine’s mother told her.
“But he told me he was capable and sent by god”
Better go and find another solution. You suddenly turned to God today because you had a problem, when last did you attend a church?” Her father said.
“Ohhhhhhb papa what is this now? I am saying something serious and the both of you are acting like Elizabeth is not your grandchild”
“And what do you expect us to do. Josphine it all your fault. You spoilt your child, you pampered her too much. You need to carry your cross alone, maybe you will understand what we have been shouting about since.”
Josephine invited another pastor, but it was still In vain. In face she tried many pastors but it was not working. They all took money from her without any valid help.
Meanwhile. Mr Jonathan was not at rest, even though he was acting not to be bothered when he saw her daughter mad at the highway, deep down he was more than sad.
At work, he was not focusing on his clients. At the house, not was not sleeping properly.
Jeremy notice his dad and walk up to him one morning. Dad what is wrong, you have been acting strange lately.
“Jeremy, that girl we saw on the highway while coming back, that mad girl, do you believe she is your sister?”
Yes father. I swear she is my sister. I k ow Elizabeth I know how she looks.” Jeremy said, tears dropped his face. The thought about his sister running mad brought him to tears immediately.
“Why don’t you believe me dad?”
“I believe you now. Get your things prepared, we’re are going back there to find her” Mr Jonathan replied. No matter the wrong Josephine had done in the past, he could not still watch his daughter suffer.
“Get your things Jeremy!! We are going back!! He said.
Meanwhile Josephine got completely tired. She didn’t know what to do anymore. She tried native doctors all weren’t working for her. And Elizabeth had already become more who worse. She fight her mother everyday and beat her m0ther like a rat. All Josephine does is cry, because Elizabeth is her daughter and she would still bear her pain. In fact Josephine looks thinner now.
To be continued.
Feel bad for Jonathan..
