MUSTARD II – Ch. 12 | KT OLLA

MORROW dropped his head in a sigh. He found forgiveness a bit tough. So he sighed.

‘No she hate me! Wura—she hate me!’

Hellen gazed, nodding at him. She must’ve felt his heart in those words, for she pulled her seat closer for talk.

‘Look at me,’ she called. ‘Why will a woman hate her man she just got to see in five years?

‘Or why would she poison someone who came back safely?’

Then she answered herself.

‘It’s apparently because she went elsewhere. “Her heart is with someone else”—you could say that.

‘But is that what it is? D’ you think that’s everything? Yes, Mr Morrow?’

Morrow gazed up and just stared blankly.

Hellen hit hard. ‘Is this the first time a person will leave their spouse for another? I’m sure it’s a no.

‘So, will every girl who leaves her man make an attempt on his life?’

Morrow didn’t answer.

‘No, I have seen women here change spouses, but they do not murder!’ insisted the nurse. ‘So it isn’t because your wife found a new man!’

Morrow raced to respond. ‘So what it is—?’

‘Because you’re of God!’ Hellen dropped it. ‘You are of God, Mr Morrow!’

The gentleman crossed his arms right then. He listened to this new thing.

Hellen dished it.

‘Look, if you are just anyone, everything that happened would’ve been logical.

‘But you are God’s own and the seed of God resides in you. You will have a heart like His and His nature, too.

‘So evil will try to ruin this treasure in you, using whoever makes themself available.

‘Then, the fury is from hell. From the kingdom of hell.

‘But don’t be afraid at all. God who’s for you has never lost a war—and won’t start losing!

‘He doesn’t trade His own; so He won’t lose you, too!

‘He preserved you through the trench war, and then again rescued you here.

‘So smile, my good friend; God is in control!’

Morrow nodded firmly. ‘Yes, thank you! Thank you, Miss Hellen – thank you!’

He’d been comforted by those words and he kept the points too.

So as the nurse stood to take her leave, he got up and brightened up in a smile. He walked her a few metres, and thanked her some more.

That moment his brothers entered with his breakfast, and the nurse left them to talk.

Morrow decided to let go of everything base. Even the revenge he nursed, and bitterness.

And the woman he once loved, called Golden.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

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...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
