Episode 1
"What a glorious day!" Dayo sighed as he led his newly wedded wife into the
elevator that would take them to the room they booked for their honeymoon
in one of the finest hotels in town. They just left the hall of their
wedding reception which was about 30 minutes drive from the hotel. Foluke
smiled back at her husband and yawned, "Oh! I am so tired, I danced so much
with those high heels like there is no tomorrow! She said and yawned again.
"Hey! Sweetheart", her husband replied, "do not tell me that you are too
tired to fulfil your promise, we had a deal remember? We both agreed to
have a vigil tonight in order to commit this marriage into God's hands".
"Yea, I do remember", Foluke answered tiredly, "Let's get to bed on time,
we will wake up at exactly 2:00 am for the prayers. "Alright then", her
husband agreed.
They got into their hotel room, had a shower and later ate the Jollof rice
that Foluke's mum packed for them for dinner. Afterwards, they went on
their knees and prayed to God, thanking HIM for the success of their
wedding, and thereafter went to sleep. They had both agreed not to have sex
on their wedding night but instead decided to dedicate that night to a
series of fervent prayers committing the journey of their marriage into
God's hands.
They actually made good their plan. Foluke's alarm woke them up at exactly
2:00 am as earlier scheduled. Foluke led the songs of Praise while Dayo
led the prayers. They prayed till around 4:30am after which they went to
the bathroom, this time around together to have a shower. They both felt
shy seeing each other's nakedness for the first time ever since they met.
One thing led to the other and they had sex that very morning.
"What is this Foluke?" Dayo queried his bride. "I expected you to bleed
being your first time," he continued trying to suppress his anger.
"I...I...I actually thought I should too" Foluke stammered, trying to
fight back the tears that clouded her eyes.
"Liar!" her husband barked at her. "Ha-ha, why are human beings like this?
If you had told me you were not a virgin, I would still have proposed
marriage to you anyways, but why lying? I hate this kind of attitude, I
hate it!" He yelled.
"But I didn't lie", Foluke cried. "God is my witness, I just don't
understand..."
"Shut up! You shameless prostitute, bloody liar! I loved and trusted you,
is this how you repay my innocent love? Do I deserve this betrayal?"
"But Honey, please believe me, I am a virgin, I swear to God".
"Will you keep quiet? Dayo screamed in anger. Your not being a virgin is
not the issue I have but the fact that you lied to me and you are still
lying right now".
"Noooooo!" Foluke continued crying...
It was 7:00am already. Dayo changed into a casual wear and stormed out of
the room in anger.
"Dayo please wait, let's sort this out, Pleeeeaaaase."
Foluke was devastated. "God, how come my honeymoon is turning into a
nightmare all of a sudden? But why didn't I bleed? I thought virgins do
bleed during their first sex, What has happened to meeeeee?" She continued
talking to herself. Oh God! Have mercy, I don't want to lose my husband's
trust. God, I just prayed to you this morning that you be the driver of my
marriage, Holy Spirit, please soften the heart of my husband and take
control.
She cried bitterly on the bed, checking the bed sheet again, hoping to see
traces of blood that could restore her hope but the sheet was as white as
wool!

EPISODE 2
Foluke met Oladayo during her third year in the University. She was the
kind of girl that almost every guy that came in contact with will never
want to let go. She is of an average height and a beautiful countenance,
quiet but firm. Though she was an average student, yet one of the most
respected in her department because o
