Torns

Episode 40

While they waited for their turn to buy movie tickets, she opened her facebook profile on the iphone and saw the wedding pictures of her elder sister. Her eyes smarted with tears. It pained her that the bride didn’t want her there. It was pathetic that her parents’ attitude towards her had rubbed off on her sisters.

“What is it?”
She lifted her eyes, saw the worried look and passed the phone to him. He collected it and scanned the pictures. He returned the phone and drew her into his arms.

“Trust God and let him take control of every aspect of your life.”

She buried her face in his chest and tried to calm her tumbling emotions.

“Lover birds, it’s your turn,” someone said behind them.

He released her and approached the lady at the ticket stand.

Funmike folded her hands across her chest. She prayed to God to give her the desire and will to forgive her parents and her sisters. She hoped that some day soon, they would all be able to relate with one another in love, without grudges.
