PAINS OF A LONELY HEART.

Episode 1:
Life they say has its ups and downs, but with
Juliet’s life, she has only seen sadness and
grief.
She grew up in an orphanage and at the age
of 17, she was adopted by Rev. Johnson, a
wealthy Pastor with a large congregation and
branches all over the nation.
Rev. had a beautiful wife and two sons – Ben
and James who lived in the United States.
Indeed, Juliet was really blessed with the gift
of vision. This made her foster parents more
fond of her.
Rev. actually thought Juliet was a gift from
God. He groomed her to be very prayerful and
spiritually strong.
Juliet was also blessed with real beauty. She
had a dark skin tone that was perfectly
smooth. She led the prayer in her foster
church, as young as she was.
Unfortunately, Rev. Died…. and trouble began
for Juliet.
His death remain a mystery has no one knew
the cause. They were in church and he was in
the middle of a sermon when he suddenly
had a heart attack. He passed on before they
could get him to the hospital.
Due to this tragedy, Rev. Johnson’s sons who
lived in the United states came down to the
country with their mother.
That was the boys’ first time seeing Juliet.
Like every christian family, they embraced
her as a sister.
However, a few months after Rev’s death, an
unusual incident occurred at church that got
people talking ill about Juliet.
Juliet met Mike who was with her at the
orphanage before she got adopted. They were
both orphans and to Juliet, Mike was a
brother.
Juliet was ecstatic to see him… she jumped
and hugged him at the entrance of the
church, right in front of everyone, including
her foster mother and the two sons, Ben and
James. She got even more excited when she
saw Mike has come down from his won car .
Life had smile well on Mike and he had done
well for himself.
He had moved to town not too long ago and
decided to visit a nearby church not knowing
that this was the same church Juliet and her
foster parent worshiped.
After the warm hug, they continued holding
hands as they talked and tried catching up
on old times.
Their gestures however got pretty much the
congregation talking. Most people felt they
were being inappropriate .
Mrs Johnson and James were no exception .
James especially, being the eldest son, got
very upset about Juliet and Elvis.
“Mummy, who is that guy Juliet is talking to?
“James asked his mother while they all waited
in their car for Juliet.
He was interrupted by Ben who felt James’s
question was out of order.
“Seriously, James, you are asking this
question? Let the girl be! I believe they know
each other so it’s fine” Ben said.
Ben immediately got down from the car and
walked towards where Juliet and Mike stood.
Meanwhile, Juliet had invited Mike for a
prayer meeting later that evening. Just as
Mike accepted the invite, Ben joined them.
“Excuse me,” Ben said. “Mum wants us to
leave so I guess you guys need to wrap up.”
“Sure Ben. I’m sorry for keeping you all
waiting. I totally lost track of time.
Anyway, meet Elvis, a long time friend of
mine. Mike this is my brother Ben” Juliet
introduced both men as they shook hands.
Ben then walked Juliet to their car while Mike
went back into the church premises. That was
when he realised that people were murmuring.
As soon as Juliet got into the car with Ben,
her foster mum asked a direct question
“Who was that guy you were talking to?” Mrs
Johnson asked.
“Mum he’s an old friend of mine,from an
orphanage” Juliet answered. “It doesn’t look
like that to me! Juliet, be very careful” Mrs.
Johnson cautioned in a very angry tone.
“I’m sorry mum, it wont happen again,”
Juliet sat as they headed home.
Ben thought his mother had over reacted and
felt bad about it.
Later that evening, Mike showed up at the
prayer meeting as he had promised Juliet.
James was suppose to come take Juliet home
and he was running late. She tried severally
to reach but his phone was switched off.
Mike then offered to drop Juliet off. She
initially refused but as it was getting late and
it didn’t look like she had much of an option,
she changed her mind and accepted the ride.
Mike drove off with her and soon they arrived
at the main entrance of Juliet’s house.
Juliet gave Mike a goodbye hug and thanked
him for his kind gesture. Little did she know
that her foster mother was watching them
from her window.
From. Where she stood, it appeared by
Juliet and Mike were kissing….
