For Better And For Worse
Chapter 123

Roger’s home.

This morning is Sunday. Doctor Roger brings his whole family together to talk to them. Marianne stays in her fiancé’s room.

Roger: my children, I have made many mistakes in my life and these mistakes have cost me dearly. Today I no longer have a job and this illness and all the problems that have happened to you have meant that I no longer have a thing on me. So as for your schooling next year, God only knows. Evariste, you must seek to work so that you can help your brothers and also get married. Charity, you haven’t even finished your degree 1. Look where s*x has taken you. In life, pleasure must not come before usefulness, otherwise you will destroy your life. S*x is not something that will end my children, as long as there are men and women, s*x will never end until the end of time so why rush? Above all, seek to succeed and have a stable life and pleasure will follow. And I am speaking particularly to you, Fabrice and Gracia. Gracia, you are in 4th grade, you still have a long way to go. And you Fabrice, you are in first grade, you also have a long way to go. When you want to achieve your goals and make your dreams come true, you have to work hard and put away all distractions and s*x is a distraction. No, only that, he is also an enemy of success. You two have also made mistakes, but let those mistakes make you better and not the other way around. I too learned from my mistakes and I will be a better person from now on, which is what I wish for everyone. Thank you my love, you are an exceptional gift that God gave me and I regret having hurt you, I will not do it again. Thank you for always being there for me in complicated situations.

Clémence: it’s out of love and it’s also my duty as a wife, you don’t need to thank me. As for all of you, I hope your father’s advice has not fallen on deaf ears.

Everyone: we didn’t understand mom and dad.

Roger: Well, the family reunion is over. Get ready to go to church.

Séverin’s home.

Séverin and his wife are getting ready to go to church.

Claire: darling, how long are we going to stay together? Do you know that living in cohabitation means living fully in sin?

Séverin: but darling, I just got divorced, what will people say if I remarry now?

Claire: what will people say, what will people say, do you live for the people or what? It’s your life, are they people who created you or what? Why do you always want to do things that will please them? People are your parents, they are your God? I don’t want my baby to be born out of wedlock.

Séverin: don’t get upset darling, I understand and you’re right. Tonight, I’ll invite you to dinner and we’ll talk about it, okay?

Claire: Okay. Excuse me !

Séverin: no, it’s nothing. Have a nice day.

Claire: you too darling.

They k**s and go to church.

Krist’s home.

Isabelle: darling, I have not yet presented our baby before the altar of God.

Krist: oh well, why didn’t you do it?

Isabelle: I didn’t want to do it without you.

Krist: It doesn’t matter. You know, since I was in Mexico, until today, I haven’t set foot in church. Today I have to go to confession and return to worship.

Isabelle: I haven’t been there since your disappearance either.

Isabelle: I haven’t been there since your disappearance either.

Krist: Let’s go then.

Stella arrives.

Stella: I’m ready.

Krist: Let’s go!

They’re going to get a taxi.

Isabelle: I think you should buy a car.

Krist: It will come. It’s not the most important thing now.

Church.

So they go to the church by taxi. They dedicated their baby into the hands of God. The man of God blessed him and also blessed their relationship. Stella for her part prays for her future marriage. Krist and Isabelle have also confessed their sins but they keep hearing these words over and over in their minds: if you do not forgive men their faults, I will not forgive your faults either. It is the Holy Spirit trying to tell them, how can they hope for forgiveness if they themselves refuse to grant it. After the service, they greet a few friends and acquaintances before returning.

Krist’s home.

Back home, Krist replaces his wife very sad.

Krist: What’s wrong honey?

Isabelle: my heavenly father also turned his back on me.

Krist: Don’t say that. God never turns his back on anyone.

Isabelle: he refused to forgive me.

Krist: me too and we know very well why?

Isabelle: I’m not ready to forgive my father, he’s not going to get off that easily.

Krist: the longer you wait, the more other misfortunes can happen my love.

Isabelle: you will excuse me but no.

Home of Ernestine.

After returning from worship with her brother, Ernestine starts cooking. His brother was watching TV in the living room. Her older sister’s phone rang on the table. He looks and sees My heart as calling.

Hervé: hum, big sister is in love!

He brings her the phone.

Hervé: big sister, isn’t your heart vibrating?

Ernestine: what do you mean?

Hervé: well, because he’s calling you.

Ernestine: ahaha, very funny! Give me that !

She picks up and picks up.

Ernestine (smile): Yves, hello!

Yves: that smile is magnificent!

Ernestine: what smile?

Yves: that, yes what you are showing me there, this smile on your lips and in the sound of your voice.

Ernestine: do you see me?

Yves: of course, I see you in my heart and I imagine you in my head.

Ernestine: It’s nice to hear that.

Yves: all my desire is to please you, princess.

Ernestine: that’s nice!

Yves: what was the message of worship today?

Ernestine: that was a very interesting message. The theme was love and the biblical text: 1Cor13:1-10.

Yves: ah, I know this verse. I hope you prayed for both of us?

Ernestine: um, yes, yes I prayed. And what was the message for you?

Yves: it’s pretty much along the same lines. It was a teaching on love of neighbor.

Ernestine: hum, the Holy Spirit never acts randomly.

Hervé arrives.

Hervé: big sister, what smells like that.

Ernestine: oh my God, I burned my sauce.

Yves: sorry princess, I’ll let you prepare, A+.

He hangs up and she focuses on her cooking again.

Séverin’s home.

Back from church, the couple talks.

Séverin: you see darling, I beg you to lose your father and today God was kind enough to make you understand again. Today’s message focused specifically on Perdon.

Séverin: I haven’t forgotten.

Ernestine: Hello!

Yves: I hope you don’t blame me for grilling you?

Ernestine: no, no, not at all. You had nothing to do with it.

Yves: of course yes, you don’t want to take the blame on yourself. To make me feel sorry, I would like to show you a place this evening, if you want of course?

Ernestine: Okay, it will be a pleasure.

Yves: thank you. I’ll come get you.

Ernestine: ok.

In the evening, Yves comes to pick him up and they visit a wonderful garden where they spend a long time.

Resteurent.

In the evening, Séverin takes his wife and takes her to a chic restaurant to have a lovely evening. Once there, he removes a chair to make his future wife sit in her feces. The waitress comes to greet them and offers to weigh their order. What was done. They lie and discuss it and afterwards, Séverin comes out big.

Séverin: my love, I have experienced a monumental error in my life. I looked for the sweetheart while he was near me but I couldn’t see him. I looked for happiness elsewhere while he was very close to me. Today, I recognize it and I am convinced that you are the woman of my life Cleire because you are the most beautiful wonder that has happened to me. I no longer want to live far from you my love, I want to spend the rest of my days by your side so I wonder if you want to marry me.

Totally moved, she burst into tears.

Cleire: yes my love, yes I want it.

He therefore puts the stutter on her finger to the ovations and admiring looks of those present.

Séverin: thank you my love, you make me more than happy.

Cleire: no, the happiest is me. I love you my love.

Séverin: I love you too.

They embrace each other very tenderly.

Krist’s home.

This evening, there is a knock on the door. Stelle who she went out opens.

Stelle: good evening medeme.

Her: good evening, it’s miss.

Stelle: ok excuse me. You are looking for someone ?

Her: yes, I’m here to see Krist. Is he here ?

Stelle: yes, come in and follow me!

She leads him inside where Krist, Isebelle and Merie are.

Stelle: Krist, you have to visit it!

Grende was Krist’s surprise to see this person. Who do you think it is?

Séverin: you see darling, I was talking to you about forgiving your father and today God was kind enough to make you understand it again. Today’s message was exactly about forgiveness.

Claire: I know but my father is a criminal. How can someone sell his neighbor as if he had the right of life or death over him? As if it were something he had at his disposal?

Séverin: I understand but it is up to God to judge him, not you. The forgiveness you grant him will not be for his good, but for your own good, my love. And besides, this hatred towards your father has lasted too long and it will affect our child, he will be a hateful person.

Claire: we will educate him.

Séverin: ok. Okay, I’m going to go out for a bit.

Claire: Don’t forget you owe me dinner tonight.

Séverin: I haven’t forgotten.

They k**s and he walks out. He is going to buy a magnificent ring to surprise Claire this evening.

Ernestine receives Yves’ call an hour later.

In the evening, Yves comes to pick her up and they go to visit a magnificent garden where they spend a wonderful time.

Restaurant.

In the evening, Séverin takes his wife to a chic restaurant to spend a lovely evening. Once he arrives, he pulls out a chair for his future wife to sit down before sitting across from her. The waitress comes to greet them and offers to place their order. What was done. They eat while talking and afterwards, Séverin pulls out all the stops.

Séverin: my love, I have made a monumental mistake in my life. I was looking for love elsewhere while he was near me but I couldn’t see him. I was looking for happiness elsewhere while he was very close to me. Today, I recognize it and I am convinced that you are the woman of my life Claire because you are the most beautiful wonder that has happened to me. I don’t want to live far from you anymore my love, I want to spend the rest of my days by your side so I wonder if you want to marry me.

Totally moved, she burst into tears.

Claire: yes my love, yes I want it.

He therefore puts the ring on her finger to the ovations and admiring looks of those present.

Séverin: thank you my love, you make me more than happy.

Claire: no, the happiest is me. I love you my dear.

Séverin: I love you too.

They k**s each other very tenderly.

Krist’s home.

This evening, someone knocks at the door. Stella, who was about to go out, opens.

Stella: good evening ma’am.

Her: good evening, it’s miss.

Stella: ok excuse me. You are looking for someone ?

Her: yes, I’m here to see Krist. Is he here ?

Stella: yes, come in and follow me!

She leads her inside where Krist, Isabelle and Marie are.

Stella: Krist, you have visitors!

Krist was very surprised to see this person. Who do you think it is?
