ACT ONE SCENE 3

Its a lovely Monday afternoon, a month after the two girls had worked together on a proposal for Christians to have their own duplex on Campus. The housing department had signed off the documents over to them and they opened they house by giving away fliers to interested individuals. Hbg had decided to pass the message through a microphone.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]:This is a house dedicated to all the Christian students in this Campus, it will serve as a boarding house for all interested individuals. We hope that you will enjoy your stay with us as we dedicate our days in this University to serve the Lord by being a brother and a sister to each other, all in all being the body of Christ. We will hold prayer meetings, have bible studies, and a whole lot more.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (Pulling Hbg down from a chair she was standing.) Gracie, that's enough joor, the fliers will do too.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: (off the microphone.) I did not say a prayer, hold on.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (Hides her face with the palm of her hands mumbling.) Dear Lord, we are embarrassed already, please make her trip and fall, father where is Nepa when I need it

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: The house (Glorious Ruins) is officially open but let's start with an opening prayer.


Heavenly Father, we humbly ask You to be the foundation of this house, we ask Jesus to be the centre of it father. Please abundantly bless all those who will live here as your servants, to positively influence the lives of others.

Anoint those who will share their expertise and resources of knowledge with love and affection for one another as apostle Paul said in Romans 12vs 9-10;

“Be sure your love is true love, hate what is sinful, hold onto what is good, love each other as christian brothers and show respect for each other.”

Guide and protect us against all evil. Please Lord, keep all evil doers, that have bad intentions to discourage Nlanders christian community,away from here. In Jesus' mighty name we pray, Amen!

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Amen. Now, give me the microphone . (Hbg passes her the microphone and steps down.)

Good one Gracie. Please lets help make this a success and for once come together united without our various religious doctrines getting in the way. See this as a common ground where we can leave our disagreements behind and form a strong family bond in Christ.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Yea, I hope so too. Come, we have to make juice for the visitors and those who would want to look around.

Later that Evening; In the big kitchen. There are two huge double door fridges, wall unit with lockers, six plate defy glass stove with a roof oven. Four chairs circled a waist length table, fitted neatly on a black ceramic floor. Uj_sizzle and HumbledbyGrace are preparing refreshments for the expected guests dancing to Frank Edwards tune 'Today.'

[color=#0066ff][size=15pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: (Walks in a drowsy swagger, a bottle of buzugee's red wine in a hand flowered by a stream of stuttering blood vessels. Looks at the flier in his hand and at the busy ladies and loses confidence as he tries to light a conversation) h....e....ll....(Ends up swallowing his words. Turns around like the shy boy, head bowed, walks few steps back to the door.) As it turns out, to strike the match for the light he becomes the usher.)


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Hold it right there brother

[color=#0066ff][size=15pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: (head bowed,) Reyginus ma.


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Would you mind if I put your stuff away for you?



[color=#0066ff][size=15pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: No ma'am.


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: (takes the bottle and throws it in the bin.) Your welcome, do have a seat, would you like some coffee or juice?


[color=#0066ff][size=15pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: Coffee would be fine ma'am.


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Ok sir, your coffee would be ready in a minute. Please sit down, I am sure you had a hectic day.

(At Uju) Tweeny.


[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (looking up from slicing oranges.) Yea?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Please attend to the man at the door.


[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]Good afternoon people.


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Good afternoon sir.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Your welcome sir


[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: Pastormustwacc


[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (cleans a chair and hands it over to him.) Your welcome Pastor, I am sister Uj_sizzle, that is sister HumbledbyGrace and the brother next to you is brother Reyginus.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color](tugging at Uju, whispering.) Get him a drink please. (Uj_sizzle goes back to her orange peeling.)
Brother Reyginus, How was your day?


[color=#0066ff][size=13pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: (Wipes sweat with the back of his hand.) It Was awesome, though hectic. The most jagged town in the east welcomed me. you?

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (cackles.) Brother Reyginus did you go to Onitsha

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Would u like ur coffee with lemon or just sugar? black or with milk? powdered milk or fresh milk?

My day was hectic, we were moving and had to do this and that around this house to make it a home.


[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: Thanks sister Uj_sizzle and co for the warm welcome.
I came hoping I could find a Christian sister to marry as soon as possible.


[color=#0066ff][size=13pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: Forget the coffee, I need to go. (Dashes out of door like a flash lightening.)


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Pastor but that wasn't appropriate, did u look in the Romeo and Juliet department? there r available ladies in there.


[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: am not looking for a lady to tanana or i would have gone to the Romeo and Juliet department. I said i need a christian sista to "marriage" - the ingles there is very important.

All the babes I come across are only looking for money to chop. I am not currently in any relationship, because all these babes i don dey find - all of them na the same.

I am not seeking for a casual Bleep relationship, so i wont bother with the babes in the Romeo and Juliet department, na them dey the same with the babes I used to date.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (put down a tray with three glasses of juice, hands pastor chilled lemonade and pulls a chair joining Hbg and the pastor in the discussion.) chill with us awhile Pastor, maybe God will bring your future wife your way.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]:I don't hang a lot there sef, so I wouldn't understand but Pastor I think a relationship comes naturaly. What kills us is going out with a mindset that your looking for a spause.

I would like to say focus on God, do as Jesus instructed us to do, let life flow everyday without worrying about who your going to marry because you know Jeremiah 29vs11 says He has plans for our futures. We just need to put our lives into his hands, let him work with us for our own good and our lives will just be a pure reflection of christ.

[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: (gulps down all the lemonade, and licks his lips.) So i need you people to pray for me to get a good christian lady, because i don tire for all of them gold-diggers. it is good to desire good things and pray for it.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (takes a sip from her glass and pushes it away from her in a playful manner. ) True pastor, He has said He will give to us the desires of our heart, but you also need this to be in perfect accordance with his will or you could end up frustrated.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Yes, but Pastor you might be looking in a wrong direction.


[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: (loses his confidence, and speaks with a trembling voice.) I am trying to get over depression, lost 6 patients over the weekend in medical emergency. 5 of which are questionable. I am now wondering, is it that I am not praying enough or?


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: That's sad pastor,I have always asked myself how you doctors feel like when you loose ur patients. One person dying is too much for me but you see it happen every day.

It hurts even more when they were not saved, will pray with you on this one. I am sorry.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: sometimes things happen, just remember that you're simply an instrument of healing, but even at that all your medical cannot be won because death still knocks at the door of some people. May God give you the strength to accept defeat and let go of things u can't change. Always remember you win some and lose some but the families will always be grateful that you tried.

(Reyginus tiptoes back to his sit.)


[color=#0066ff][size=13pt]Reyginus[/size][/color]: Is pastor still looking for his lost rib?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color](steps on Reyginus toe under the tabled) He just said he is trying to get over depression, you know when we are frustrated we talk about things that will just keep our minds busy. Behave!

[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: Nay let Reyginus be, I was close to settling down of recent, but had some issues with spouse family. But that has nothing to do with the frustrating loss of patients, (5 of which would not have died, but died all the same).

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Every trade comes with it's own perks, I guess this is yours. It would be weird if you didn't feel the slightest pain at the death of another...it only makes you human. All is well.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Yes all is well indeed, Pastor, do you mind telling us what realy happened?


[size=13]Pastormustwacc[/size]: May their souls rest in peace. I felt that 5 out of those 6 patients should not have died at all. They died due to failure of implementation of certain government policies. Ratio of medical personnel to patients is too small under some big-time government establishments. So really, we cannot do enough for the patients, and that Is why i feel so bad.


[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Government negligence in public hospitals is rising like the price of garri.

There is nothing you could've done, please don't feel bad.

(Uj_sizzle and Reyginus leaves the room. Uj_sizzle runs upstairs as Rey goes back to his quaters outside Campus, with a promise that he will call again. After a while Pastormustwac leaves, leaving Hbg along clearing the table and washing the dishes.)

Outside the Literature department, new students HumbledbyGrace and Uj_sizzle are sitting on the green lawn both minding their businesses. A bee keeps buzzing in circles near Uj_sizzle who had on a cream yellow floral long dress that fit her like it was tailored exactly for her. Both girls knew each other's names but have never talked to each other.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (talking to the bee waving it away with a book.) Do I look like a flower to you? Please go, biko, your disturbing my peace.

(Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Gat away this minute! Useless creature! (After some time the bee gives up and zooms off.)

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: (to Uj_sizzle) That was funny.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: And you didn't think of helping a sister out? I see you around a lot lately, are you new?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: To be honest, I was praying silently for it to go away.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: I was just kidding. Anyway I see you around a lot lately, are you new?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Yea, I am a newbie.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Me too, in this school though.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Are you Nigerian

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Yes, you?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: No.


[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size] : Oh, I see. How are they treating you though? Is it your first time around them

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Uhuh, and most of them are not friendly. (Almost whispering.) I met some guys at the religion Campus, they are so mean. They called Christians names, I couldn't believe, I burst into tears and swore never to speak to them again.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Those are atheists, I know how mean they can be but don't take it personally ok?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Thanks, UJ_....

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Yea, its Uj_sizzle, you can call me Uju.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Grace, pleased to meet you.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Same here. ( Checks the time on her wristwatch and frowns.) I need to go, please excuse me. I have a lecture in about twenty minutes. Hope to see you again?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Sure, I should get going too or Madam Cuddles will throw me out.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (gathering her stuff.) You mean the Literature Proff? (Hbg nodded.) I am going to her class too.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Wow! Finally I will have someone to talk to, the girls there are so reserved. The likes of Idowu, Firestar and itsModella.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Don't worry, I got your back.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Thanks. Can I have your number? Are you on WhatsApp?

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Yea sure, come on let's go.

ACT ONE SCENE2

Hbg is in her room working on a project the Religion Professor has assigned to her, its poetry night and the guys and Uj_sizzle had decided to have some fun throwing punch lines at each other. After a three hours of torture the guys decided to call it a night and returned to their various rooms. Hbg had decided to sit the poetry night out, it wasn't her thing. She calls Uju.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Hey you, you missed out, it was crazy!

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: I heard you guys, not that I wanted to but you were disturbing my peace.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Why do I have a feeling your jealous?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Me? No, you know I am trying to avoid 'you know who.'

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: (Laughing.) Come on, we all know you like him, get over it already, he aint into you.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: I know hey, and its so obvious. Anyway, that's not why I called. I have been thinking...

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: About?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: I don't like my stay here at all, its noisy, visitors are allowed, boys smoking in the corridors, paintings of all sorts all in the name of art. Have you seen the main hall?

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Me too, I have secured a good spot at the Campus of Diaries, you can join there is always room for everyone.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: I only go there during meditation periods, its crowded also, its like people can't read English. Its Dairies for a reason.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Ok, so what are you driving at?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Thought you would never ask. The Religion Campus has some level headed peeps you know? And I saw an empty duplex there. We could campaign for a lease then move in there. And the Muslim sub Campus girl? Its beautiful and quite, its not like this rondavale we call a hostel.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Wow, that would be great but what about the Professors? Manmustwac and Jesoul?

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: I will talk to Jesoul, that Atheist Professor scares the hell out of me. Will you be so kind to help me get this off the ground?

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Email me what's needed and I will see what I can do.

[color=#9900ff][size=13pt]Hbg[/size][/color]: Your too kind, good night tweeny.

[size=13pt]Uj_sizzle[/size]: Night dear.
