“Tricia” Nath called as he sat beside his
wife on one of the living room couches.
“Are you sure you’re fine? You’ve been
quite moody and it’s unlike you.
What’s the matter?” he asked with
great concern.
“I’m not too sure. I thought it was a
slight fever when it started two days
ago but it seems to be more than that
now as I see it.
“You don’t think you should see the
doctor?”
“Yes I do. I should and I will. I’ve fixed
an appointment with him for tomor…”
She couldn’t complete the statement as
she ran to the bathroom holding her
tummy.
“Babe, I think you’re…” he moved
closer to her and whispered in her
ears.
“You must be joking”, she said shaking
her head and pushing Him aside.
Nath could be humorous but in this
case something told him he was right.
——-
And he was!
She was at the doctor’s place the next
morning.
“Madam, congratulations! This is a
miracle!” the doctor said staring at the
test result in his hands with a broad
smile.
She couldn’t believe her ears.
She got into her car and drove off to
another hospital.
Nothing was different. She put a call
through to her husband.
“Hello sweet!”
“Hi dear, how are you feeling and how
did your appointment with the…”
She didn’t let him finish.
“That’s why I called you. You were
right! Nath you were so right! I’m
pregnant, two months gone!”
“Wow! Nath exclaimed. “Yes! Yes!
Thank you Jesus!” he screamed into
the phone his hand flying in the air.
The noise from his office didn’t go
unnoticed by his secretary. She ran into
his office forgetting to knock on the
door. Confusion was written all over
her face.
“Sir!”
“Yes Jane”
“Is everything alright?”
Oh absolutely! There’s no cause for
alarm. It’s all good news.” he said as he
picked up his briefcase.
“I’ll tell you about it when the time is
ripe. I have to go now. Take care of the
office.” he said, beaming with a wide
smile.
Jane could only watch on…

The Christmas celebrations had been
wonderful for the duo that year. The
news of the pregnancy had hit them
about three weeks to Christmas. They
decided to share only with a few family
members who were very close. They
believed such news had to be handled
with care and caution.
Days rolled by speedily and it was New
Year’s Eve, everyone was so excited.
The tail end of the year had shown
good signs that the New Year was going
to be great.
In fact, God had given great promises
to Nath and Tricia about their home. As
they drove home early on New Year’s
day, they chatted about their hopes and
God’s promises for the New Year.
Just then, a motorcycle rider who had
been drunk bashed into their car from
the rear.
“Gosh!” Tricia exclaimed. “What a
terrible way to start the New Year!”
“Shhh…” Nath motioned to his wife to
keep quiet. “You shouldn’t say such.”
“But it’s true. This is a bad omen for
the New Year. I’m scared.”
“Now Tricia, stop it and stop it right
now! I’ve told you to be careful about
what you say when things seem to turn
out bad. You make them worse by
confessing the negative.”
“Well, I only say things as they are”
Tricia argued.
“What did you just say? You should be
grateful that it wasn’t worse than this.
God have mercy on you.”
Nath got down to check the extent of
the damage done to the car.
It required just a little panel beating.
The motorcycle rider was nowhere to
be found.
Nath got back into the car and
muttered the words, “Thank you Jesus”
as they drove home.
Tricia knew deep within her that what
she said was wrong, but wasn’t willing
to come to terms with the truth.0Episode 2
The New Year was going on quite well
for the Daniels.
Nath was promoted at work.
Tricia also resumed her new job.
The unborn baby was doing quite fine.
“I’m so glad and excited, God has been
faithful to us you know”, Nath said one
evening as he and Tricia sat in the
garden to relax.
“Yeah. He’s been so good”, Tricia
replied.
“How’s my baby doing today?” he
asked rubbing his wife’s tummy
calmly.
“He’s quite fine, only that he’s been
giving me a little bit of trouble lately.”
she smiled coyly.
“He’s probably eager to see our faces”,
Nath said, smiling heartily.
Tricia couldn’t help laughing.
Just then a call came in from her office.
“Hello Tricia.”
“Hi Tara, How are you?”
“I’m good, and you?”
“I’m doing just fine!”
“That’s good to hear. Well, the boss
came in this afternoon. He would like
you see you at the head office
tomorrow morning.”
“Is anything the matter?” she asked a
bit jittery.
“Well, I don’t know but I don’t think
so.”
“What was the look on his face when
he gave you the message?”
“Not strange. It was just that usual
straight face. You know that look now.”
“Oh. Yeah. Ok then. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
She placed her phone on the stool
before her, looking straight.
“Who was that?” Nath asked.
“Tara. She said the boss would like to
see me tomorrow morning at the head
office.”
“Hmm… Maybe a promotion or
something.”
“Promotion? Mr Dreamer, I’ve spent
barely five months in this company.”
“You never can tell.”
He began singing a hymn and swinging
his hands like a song director “God
moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform…”
“Oh Nath, away with this afternoon
comedy. Honestly I have a bad feeling
about this.” she said with a worried
look.
“Hey ma’am, what’s this again with the
negative thought? Stop it! Go see the
boss tomorrow. I’m sure it’s something
good.”
This time he was wrong…
She was right!
Nath opened the door to welcome his
wife, soaked in her own tears.
“Babe, what’s the matter?” he asked,
wiping her tears with his handkerchief.
She handed him the letter in her hands.
He unfolded the letter and he looked
utterly shocked.
“Suspension? For what?”
She pointed at the letter signifying that
the reason was stated therein.
He checked again.
“No! Not you” He held her with his two
hands.
“You didn’t do it.”
Tricia found her voice.
“No I didn’t, I can’t do such a thing.
You know it Nath.” she cried further,
her chest rising up with each pant
“Yes I do. So, who could have done
this?” He asked taking a seat and
staring closely at the letter as if he had
not read it properly.
“I don’t know, I really don’t. I’ve been
suspended till the investigation is
over.”
“Don’t worry dear, all will be well.”
“I just hope so”, she said faintly.
She was already weak from crying.0Bring It On
