Knighted Again – Ch.24 | KT OLLA

IT was a special morning for Maqwela at his palace. Sand and Muse returned for their assignment with the ruler.

The music stars were in a private talk with him. They were seated with him inside the secured hall where he’d had a talk with them before.

It was the place with a secret pass into Zadeque’s. The prince lived in an adjourning cottage which the pass opened to. 

So in their talk, Nile and Vickie told the monarch about salvation through Jesus.

They told him that it was Jesus who had touched him through their music. That He’ll always restore wholeness to those who’d be grateful to Him.

They told the monarch that Jesus was ready to give him a second touch and make him well. That the man needed to turn his life to Him.

Maqwela smiled at the friends and said no. He gave a reason that surprised the two.

 ‘I know your Jesus… probably more than you think I do. I know He pardons sins – I’ve heard it many times before.

‘See, if I was to be talking with other people, I’d just have told them that I’m also Christian – I go to church at least.

‘But you kids are my friends, so I’ll just tell you my truth.’

He sat up and spoke. ‘You see, I can’t turn my life over to Him. I’ve done so much evil in this life. So much for any good man to forgive!

‘So tell me, how can Jesus Christ take me?’

He stressed, ‘If there are boundaries to evil, I think I have crossed all boundaries…

‘So I don’t think Jesus will save someone like me!’

Vickie spoke up at that point.

‘Your Royal Majesty, it is not a question of how many or little our bad deeds are…

‘If we desperately want God’s pardon and we don’t return anymore, then Jesus can write a new story for us.

‘He is Saviour because we are sinners!’

Maqwela looked at her and sighed. He wished he could find that life where things were starting again.

Where he could laugh and smile without using a mask. Where he could lead his life in all its fullness from then on.

He wished to start anew… but he’d lost hope.

He spoke now: ‘I will tell you the least of what I can say. Then you can tell me if you still think God can save me!’

Nile and Vickie were surprised. They exchange a puzzled glance. It was as though they spoke their thoughts out when they looked to each other and sighed.

Come, how can someone defend his crimes so much, when he’s the same person lamenting them?

But who looks for proofs that he can’t be pardoned? Who hates what is good this plenty much?

The young duo thought about it, and at first it didn’t make sense.

But then they found it and smiled. They heard the heart that pumped those queries.

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
