RED FLAGS
EPISODE 22 (FINAL EPISODE)
“Will you marry me ?” he asked me and I could sense how nervous he is waiting for my reply. I smiled as the tears in my eyes streamed down my face. I nodded and he arched his brows to know my reply.
“I will marry you” I replied and stretch forth my left finger to him.
“You will marry me ?” He asked surprised and I chuckled and nodded.
“Oh my God! I can’t believe this ” he said and burst into tears.
I walked closer to him and embrace him in my arms and kissed his forehead as we both shed tears of joy. He wiped his tears and kiss me lightly on my lips as we pulled apart. He looked into my eyes as he is about to slide the engagement ring on my finger and said: “I promise you won’t regret this”. I nodded my head as he gently placed the engagement ring on my finger.
“I love you so much, I am your first and will be your last so you are stuck with me babe, ” He said after he got up and pull me closer to him as we sealed it with a kiss. He kissed me passionately and I kissed him back in tears as we poured our emotions into it. The romance was getting intense that he had to stop kissing me and said:” Let’s get married in two months time, I can’t wait any longer ” he said and I nodded.
” I need to go take a cold shower,” He told me and I laughed at him when I noticed he already had a bulge down there.
“Stop laughing because is not funny at all, be grateful I didn’t want to break our vows. I would have taken you right here ” He replied with a smirk on his lips.
” Mr. Suleiman, do you always get aroused by just kissing,” I asked him teasingly as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
” Mrs. Suleiman to be, I only get aroused by just looking at you. The women I had in the past had to be n***d before I get aroused but when it comes to you, your look only does wonders to my body ” He replied to me back and rub his nose on me.
“Hmmm… the women in the past? ” I said with a hint of jealousy.
“Trust me, they are not even half of you so you don’t have to be jealous of them, ” He told me and kissed me lightly on the lips.
“I love you, babe,” I told him.
” I love you more and more ” he replied and kissed my forehead. We pulled apart as he went to take his cold shower while I sat on his bed and uploaded a picture of my engagement ring on my social media handles with the caption ” I got a bedroom proposal and finally taken”. It doesn’t take long for people to start congratulating me and guess who first called me immediately she saw my WhatsApp status. Bimpe, she screamed on the phone that I had to pull my phone a little bit from my ear.
” Congrats bestie, I am so happy for you,” Bimpe said over the phone excitedly. She didn’t even allow me to talk because she started telling me how she is going to be in charge of so many things for my wedding and I laughed at how my best friend is more excited than I am and am so blessed to have her in my life.
Our wedding preparations commence two weeks after Suleiman proposed to me. My mum was the happiest woman on earth when I showed her my engagement ring. Suleiman took me to see his mum and half-siblings and they all welcome me with joy into their family. I decided to Branch into the nearest supermarket when going home when I bumped into Ladipo. He was surprised to see me and the next thing that came out of his mouth was:” Anisha, why are you wearing a transparent dress . Do you want to get yourself embarrassed ? “.
” Excuse me,” I said trying to control my anger.
” I am just concerned about you and I am ready to give our relationship a chance again so we can find a cure to your bleeding, “He said arrogantly.
I smiled at him and said:” You came too late because God who is greater than the both of us already healed me and here I am ” I flaunt my engagement ring at his face and walked out on him and I could see how shocked he was.
********************************************
“I, Suleiman Badmus, take you, Anisha Ganiyy, for my lawful wife to have and to hold from this day forward. A rainbow occurs naturally when the Earth is in perfect harmony. A precise combination and balance between sunshine and rain create a prism of colors perfectly painted in a half-circle across the sky for all to enjoy. Finding a rainbow is not easy. I like to think of our love like a rainbow that brightens both of our lives and has a lasting impression on those who witness it.”
“I promise to be your lover, companion, and friend,
Your partner in parenthood,
Your ally in the conflict,
Your greatest fan and your toughest adversary,
Your comrade in adventure,
Your student and your teacher,
Your consolation in disappointment,
Your accomplice in mischief.
This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. All things.”
I, Anisha Ganiyy, take you, Suleiman Badmus, for my lawful husband to have and to hold from this day forward. I love your sense of adventure and the way you always brighten my day. I vow to join with you in this journey as your wife with an open heart and to make even the smallest of our accomplishments—eating breakfast or changing a light bulb—into an exciting part of our lives together.”
“They say love is like magic and I couldn’t agree more. When I first met you, you seemed to appear out of nowhere. My focus was kept on you, consistently trying to solve the puzzle of who you were and where you were from. As our love grew, I couldn’t wait to see you again and be entertained by the chemistry we shared. Now as we wed, I look forward to unlocking the mysteries of the world with you by my side. After all, every good magician relies on their assistant.”
“By the power vested in me, I pronounce the both of you as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride ” The Sheu said.
The kiss was different somehow.
Maybe it was just because of all the emotions I was feeling at that moment. Maybe it was the tears in my eyes or the way Suleiman was looking at me. He was a crying mess when I was walking to the alter to meet him like I was the only person in the world that he was hardly consoled by his best friend (Kola). Our wedding was beautiful and feel with emotions because my mom cried her eyes out when blessing me. Despite how small we wanted it to be, a lot of crowds still show up and it was magical.
We had our honeymoon in one of the best hotels in Nigeria because of our business we couldn’t fly out of the country so we schedule it for another time. Once we get into our room reserved for us, Suleiman crushed his lips on me, I kissed him back needing him as close to me as possible, he lifted me into his arms and carried me to the bedroom.
He drops me to my feet as we step into my bedroom, he crushed his lips on mine again holding me tight against him.
We gently walked back till I fell on the bed with him on top of me, he started reaching for my wedding dress zip, soon it was off and I was only with my private clothing.
Soon we were both n***d and our bodies burning together in the heat of our lovemaking and I could not count how many rounds we went that day. We kept going on and on until we couldn’t move anymore.
EPILOGUE
After our honeymoon, I was so concerned if I was going to get pregnant even though my husband kept assuring me we were going to have our own children. didn’t see any signs of pregnancy after one year of our marriage and I keep praying to God .
One afternoon, I just finished observing my salat when I dozed off on the praying mat and drifted into a dream where I was given three fruits to eat with chill cold water to step it down. I woke up after that and prayed because I didn’t know the meaning of the dream. I was scared because I heard is not good to be given food in the dream. Two months later I took in and after nine months God bless me with triplets two boys and one girl at the age of 45 without IVF or Cesarean section. I birthed my babies vaginally and my husband was the happiest man on earth that day. None of us had a lineage of twins talkless of triplets in our family but God doubled our blessings and I came to realize that the three fruits I was given in my dream was a blessing from God.
I became a testimony everyone wanted to hear my story and I keep going from one country to another to share my testimony. Gabriel and his mother came to ask for my forgiveness and who am I not to forgive if Allah can forgive my sins and healed me.
I am using this medium to tell all the single ladies, please when you see a RED FLAG in a relationship, recognize it as a flag because the flag you ignored will later be the cause/separation of your marriage. It only takes the grace of God for that marriage to work. At the beginning of my dating life, my excuse for the number of potential partners with red flags was ignorance. Later in life, I take responsibility for the relationships I have entered into despite my intuition screaming, “No!”. Red flags like rumination, controlling behavior, and physical and emotional abuse should never be ignored. Likewise, it’s important to pay attention when our partners exhibit bad tempers, poor financial control, or even a habit of cheating on their partners. Don’t be pressurize into marriage by your families and friends because they won’t go with you into the marriage.
Also, when red flags are too much in your relationship. Try and think about it, what if those red flags are just preventing you from seeing the real problem. Be closer to God and make sure to seek God’s directions in whatever decision you want to take either when you want to choose your life partner, your job, or anything whatsoever. Put GOD first !.
I SUFFERED BECAUSE I DIDN’T IGNORE THE RED FLAGS
I SUFFERED BECAUSE I DIDN’T PUT GOD FIRST
I SUFFERED BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PRAY AND CALL GOD IN THE CORNER OF MY ROOM
I SUFFERED BECAUSE I DIDN’T SEEK GOD’S DIRECTION
I SUFFERED BECAUSE I WAS PRESSURIZE INTO A MARRIAGE
I wish I could go on and on. I, Anisha Ganiyy Suleiman gave birth to triplets at the age of 45 yrs. Is God not wonderful? He is the best planner and I give all my thanks and glory to him.
Delay is never a denial!!!!!
THE END.
Delay is not denial na perfect talk be so na
God is good
