Judgement In The House Of God
Episode 11
 
Location:Mr. Raymond’s residence
It was on a Sunday morning,and Mr. Raymond and his family could be seen preparing to attend church service.
He is dressed in a gorgeously designed white agbada with matching shoes and cap, quite a young and handsome man compared to his age. He stood by his car holding his keys as he awaits Mrs. Ajah and the kids. He gazed at his watch,wondering why she is wasting his time,tempted to go in and drag her out of the house but he held himself together as he patiently wait for her.
Today is Sunday,a wonderful day at that and he must tried not to get annoyed though she is seriously pushing him to.
Moments later,Mrs. Ajah hurriedly walked out of the house holding two little kids of about two years precisely a boy and a girl. She is dressed in a blue gown but not extremely beautiful as a woman ought to be due to the stress she was passing through.
Mr. Raymond upon hearing her footsteps,turned his head towards her direction and looked at her as anger began to swell in him.
“What is the meaning of this nonsense you are wearing?” He shouted at her not minding the presence of the kids.
Mrs. Ajah bent to look at herself after he asked that question.
Though she doesn’t have anything new to wear,she had intentionally decided to dress like this because there’s no essence of dressing very well to fake it when she is obviously not happy.
“Am I not talking to you?” Mr. Raymond asked again but Mrs. Ajah kept quiet “I said what is the meaning of this nonsense you are wearing? Are you trying to tell me that you don’t have any clothes to wear or you purposely want to disgrace me? Have you forgotten today is a big day and we have alot of personalities to meet? Are you so stupid that you don’t understand when, where and how to dress or do you think you are going to the nearby market?” Mrs. Ajah kept quiet as he bombarded her with questions. The kids didn’t say anything as they watched their father shouting at their mother. Maybe they understand but didn’t want to say anything or they were oblivious of what’s happening.
“My friend,will you get yourself in,side and changed into something better” He commanded “I know you want to annoy me but it won’t work for you”
Mrs. Ajah slowly let go of the kids hands as she turned heading into the house to change.Since he started his behavior,she has decided never to engage with him in a talk which always resulted to beating, rather she always keep quiet and listened to me.
“If you like,go and sleep in,side there,let me come and meet you in there” He shouted after her.
Minutes later,both partners and kids were in the car heading for church.

As usual,Mr. Raymond and Mrs. Ajah sat on the first role, along with Rose. The archbishop was sitted in the medium between pastor Eric and James at the altar.He was seen murmuring inaudible words to himself, perhaps he was praying.
