Running From A Dead Girlfriend (STORY) -- The End

Running From A Dead Girlfriend (STORY) -- Part 4

This is a story about a junior manager and his female colleague, at a mega Food Processing company in the city. The secretive love birds succeeded in keeping their affair away from everyone in the office until something unfortunate happened. 

Due to the secretive nature of their affair, they weren't fully committed to each other. So, eventually, when the lady, Isabella, found out she was pregnant, the guy, Francis, wasn't sure how to react to the unwanted pregnancy. Unfortunately, the saga spins out of control.

Story continues from Part 3…


Isabella's Ghost disappears, leaving Judith shaken and bewildered as she runs out of the bathroom.

JUDITH
(hurriedly puts on her clothes) Goodnight and goodbye, Francis.

FRANCIS
(concerned) Judith, what happened? Why are you leaving? What did I do wrong?

JUDITH
(hysterical) I... I can't explain, Francis. I was just attacked by a ghost in your bathroom. I have to go before anything evil happens to me here.

Judith slams the door behind her, leaving Francis alone, bewildered by her encounter with a ghost in his house.

FADE OUT.


SCENE OPENS TO OFFICE GATE - DAY
Francis arrives at work, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase. He approaches the gateman, Jombo, who stands in his way.

JOMBO
(sympathetically) I'm sorry, Mr. Francis. I received orders from Madam not to let you in. Please, I'm not sure what happened.

FRANCIS
(astonished) Which madam? Are you sure this is not a mix up?

Jombo hands Francis a sealed envelope with a solemn expression.

JOMBO
Madam Judith left this for you. I'm just doing my job, sir. I hope things get better for you.

Francis takes the letter and walks back to his car, a mixture of confusion and despair etched on his face.

CUT TO FRANCIS' LIVING ROOM - DAY

Francis slumps onto his couch, opening Judith's letter with trembling hands. As he reads, his face contorts with anguish.

JUDITH'S LETTER (voiceover) 
Good day Mr Francis, I'm deeply sorry, we have decided to terminate your employment. Your services are no longer required in this company, and we kindly request the return of the official car. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Francis crumples the letter, his mind racing with questions and desperation.

FRANCIS
(despondently) How can I ever regain control of my life? Oh dear Isabella… I've done everything to make your ghost leave me alone and rest in peace in the land of the dead… Now I've lost it all again, all because of you, Bella. What else do you want from me? What again!?

FADE OUT.


SCENE OPENS TO A CHURCH OFFICE - DAY

Francis sits quietly across from an aged Deliverance Apostle, seeking guidance.

APOSTLE 
(serene) It is well with you Brother Francis. After seeking the face of the Lord concerning your troubles, I can tell that you've lived a very careless life, thinking your actions do not have consequences. But you and every young man out there living recklessly with different women are all wrong... Now concerning your situation; to find peace with Isabella's ghost, you must embark on a journey of repentance and healing. By the way, exchanging marital vows with a dead lady before a so-called Priest was an error. And for the sake of clarity, getting intimate with any lady who's not your wife is also dangerous... I hope you've learned your lessons. Moving forward, there are prayers you must undertake by yourself before you can be free from your dead girlfriend's spirit... 

FRANCIS
(looking sober) Thank you, man of God. I have really suffered and I'm ready to do anything to be free. This burden is too much for me.

CUT TO FRANCIS' BEDROOM - DAY

Francis begins fasting and prayer as instructed by the Man of God. He sits on the floor close to his bed, reading the book of Psalms - chapters 4 and 51 and Zechariah chapter 3. As he reads the Bible verses, he follows it with hot prayers, delving deep into his emotions and confronting his guilt.

FADE OUT.

The Deliverance Apostle continues to guide Francis through a series of prayers, helping him navigate his path to a new life by destroying the strongholds created by his past mistakes...

CUT TO FRANCIS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Francis, with a newfound sense of determination, carries out each prayer with unwavering commitment. As he progresses, Isabella's Ghost gradually appears less menacing and more accepting.

Francis continues praying until he falls asleep and enters a dream sequence. He sees himself in a dream standing before Isabella, who watches him with a mixture of sadness and understanding.

ISABELLA'S GHOST
(whispering) You've grown, Francis. I can see that you've learned a lot lately.

FRANCIS
(softly) Isabella, I'm sorry for the pain I caused. Please pardon me, I want to move on and live a normal life. Please, Bella, please...

Isabella's Ghost smiles faintly, her ethereal presence fading away.

SCENE SHOWS FRANCIS' LIVING ROOM - SUNRISE

Francis wakes up suddenly from the dream, looking around the house to be sure Isabella's ghost is not around him.

FRANCIS
(voiceover) Oh God of mercy, I hope my prayers have been answered and Isabella is gone for good. Thank you Jesus for saving me from my mistakes. Thank you Father for rescuing me!

FADE OUT.


SCENE OPENS TO EXTERIOR OF JUDITH'S OFFICE - DAY

Francis gathers his courage and knocks on Judith's office door. She opens it, surprise and concern in her eyes as she ushers him in.

FRANCIS
(earnestly) Good afternoon Judith, thanks for asking Mr. Jombo, the security man, to let me in. I've been through a lot and I understand your fears too. But I can assure you that all is well now. That episode has finally been resolved through Fasting and Prayers and I'm free from Isabella, my late ex-girlfriend by the mercies of God.

JUDITH
(teary-eyed) I'm sorry too, Francis. I never stopped caring about you; just that I was scared by that experience of a ghost appearing to me in your bathroom. I understand your struggle, I'm happy you're free now. And, trust me, I'm here for you like old times...

CUT TO FRANCIS' LIVING ROOM - DAY

Francis and Judith, hand in hand, discuss their plans for the future. Francis, fueled by his newfound clarity, decides to pursue a new path.

JUDITH

Running From A Dead Girlfriend (STORY) -- Part 4

Voice Over Narration:
Francis indeed learned some hard lessons. He's now a born again and happily married to Judith, the daughter of a Billionaire. He uses his free time on weekends to preach the Gospel of repentance in markets and bus stops. He also teaches young men in his neighbourhood to live right and shun the acts of sleeping with different ladies in the guise of relationship or friends with benefits, because the consequences of their secret acts can spin out of control anytime and become a lifetime scar.
