UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: THE STORY OF SARAH 5

4:30pm

“Mom, Dad, I can’t find Lawson…I can’t find your
son…” she cried as she paced in front of the two who looked lost

“You have to calm down and tell us what
happened” Lawson’s mother put her arms around
Sara.

Sara burst into tears, “Please Dad could you try
his number, maybe he’d pick your call?”

“Have you been to his office?” He picked his
cellphone and dialed his son’s number

“I have been everywhere I know him to be likely available”
“It’s ok…calm down please”

Lawson’s mother pet her

“He’s not picking. What exactly went wrong between you two?”

Lawson’s father searched
Sara’a eyes

9 0pm

Sara was still in her pyjamas and on her way
back home, exhausted and stuck in the traffic.

She had told Lawson’s parents everything. The
poor couple was so shattered and also begging her to begin a new life. Sara buried her head on
the steering, crying; she hadn’t realized the green light.

“Hey get off the freaking road!” a driver cursed from behind her

“God please don’t let him harm himself…keep him safe and lead me to him…please God…” she
quickly started the car and began to move.

Suddenly she remembered the church where
they wedded and took their vows. It was two hours from here; she made a u-turn and headed for the church hoping to find some peace.

She tiredly got down from the car, drenched and
exhausted. She trudged into the open entrance
of the church. She paused for a moment;
shocked…it was Lawson sitting at the front row
of the empty church, facing the altar.
