“Mom! Mom! Mom!!!
I woke up frightfully seeing my daughter starring into my eyes. I grabbed her immediately checking her from head to toe.
“Are you okay? Are you okay Adesewa??? Can you see me? Talk na?.
“Mom are you okay? Why are you sweating like this? Have you been having nightmares?.” She asked worriedly.
I jumped down from the bed holding her along as I headed to my father room hurriedly. She continues questioning me as we walked to his room. I knocked on his door repeatedly.
“Father!.” I shouted.
“Adebimpe what happened?.” He opened the door immediately. Why are you panting and look fearfully like this?.”
“Are you okay father? She éwà okay (hope you are okay.).
“Why not?. You woke me with your sudden frightening voice.
“I was also surprised grandpa. If you see the way she did to me just now ehn’.” Adesewa said.
“You will not understand my dear.”
I answered and began to thank God walking around the room. I was led by the worship and began to pray. I’m sure my father and daughter will surely be wondering what came over me. But I’m the only one that could say or know what I saw. I do not pray for such calamity. My father sat on his chair that was beside the entrance door and prayed along with me. I prayed for my family including Mr Charles. I know this is a great sign of what might happen as I have to be careful around Josiah. Although I don’t know if it means he’s the one in the dream or if it’s someone else.
An hour later I set out to go Mr Charles house for my work. I told Adesewa to look after father, that Incase there is any emergency she shouldn’t hesitate to call me. I know that by the grace of God nothing will happen to them.
Mr Charles opened the door for me yawning, looking so exhausted as if he just arrived from a busy work.
“Good morning Charles.” I said going inside. Yes, you shouldn’t be surprised I called him Charles. Our bound as grown and I think calling him that will be the best for now since he wanted it.
“Morning dear. How was your night?.”
“It was fine and you?.”
“As you can seeee.” He said spreading his hands to see his body.
“I want to be fast with whatever I’m here for.”
“Why?.”
“I have somewhere to go.”
“Where? If I may ask.”
“To get a lawyer.”
“Lawyer? For what?.”
“To help out with my divorce.”
“Are you for real!.” He asked beaming. His face enlightened immediately.
“Of course!. I met him two days ago.
“Where?.”
“At the hospital. He was there with Rihannat.”
You didn’t tell me about this. So, you told him about the divorce or did he tell you about it.”
“I told him because he still feels I belong to him. I’m ready to take the step he refused too.”
“This is very good. I mean really good! I’m sure your daughter will also be happy.”
“I know. You know she has been so angry at my husband, I mean Josiah since I told her about what happened. She was the one that even insisted I file for divorce. I think it’s the best for me. Initially I wanted to forgive him and move back I…..”
“You must be joking! Move back to where? What kind of person are you Adebimpe.” He asked in an angry look. Written by faith stories
“Mr Charles, you shouldn’t be angry at me. I know my father can’t even allow me to go back (laughed) I only pitied him because of his loneliness and it seems he now wanted to get too attached to me for what he said that day. It’s better I remain a single mother than going back to that de vil. I only said that to see your reaction. And I got youuuuu.” I said jokingly.
“You almost gave me an heartache (laughing) so when are you going to see the lawyer?.
“immediately, I leave this place. I have called him already.”
“I will carry you there.”
“Why?.
“Because I want too.
I smiled but deep down inside me I have wanted him to carry me.
“You shouldn’t stress yourself Charles.” I answered going into the sitting room.
I started cooking and cleaning everywhere. Charles wouldn’t let me do my job properly as he walked from sitting room to kitchen from kitchen to the visitor room beside the dining table. I know he’s trying to get my attention but I pretended focusing on what I was doing. He has been failing to go to work for some days now, I wondered why. ” Could it be that is because of me or he just don’t want to go” I smiled and started singing a Celine Dion song A NEW DAY.
“You have a lovely voice I must say “
“Thank you sir.” I answered while placing some chairs together so as to climb and remove the cobwebs around the ceiling.
“I think you should have been a singer instead of working with me.” He said sitting down with a cup of tea.
“Will you sponsor me then?.” I asked climbing the chair.
“Noo! No! Noo!! (With his hand demonstration) thank God you didn’t even realize your talent on time before coming to work for me. If not how would I have met you. And about sponsoring you (laughing) let leave that to our future children.
“Future what?.” I asked turning back surprisingly. My leg got twisted and the chair shakes flipping me to the back towards the ground. I screamed out of fear and was expecting to land on the tiles. I closed my eyes and a hand grabbed me instantly.
“Be careful!.” He said with his hands wrapped around my body. Our eyes both focused on each other.
“My father! My father!.” I muttered in my heart. “So, this how those Zeeworld actors lovers feels when starring at each other “. I rekindled myself and free myself from him smiling at him. “Thank you sir, I think I didn’t place the chairs very well.
“No, you do. It’s my statement that got you falling.”
“And what was thaaaattt ….. oh’ yeah, I remembered now. You wee saying something about future children. As how?.” I asked expecting a reply.
He grabbed me closer to him with a shining teeth. I couldn’t held back from him as I stay calmly closer to his chest.
“You see. If you don’t have a feelings for me, you wouldn’t have stayed calmly like this.”
“Oh’!.” I quickly move away from him. I’m sorry, I was carried away by your sudden action.
“Why not? My love charm of course (we both laughed) I think what you are cooking is burning.”
I opened my eyes in shocked remembering I definitely put something on fire. I ran into the kitchen speedily to put off the gas.
“You caused this ooo Charles.” I said loudly.
“No! It’s our affection that caused it.” He answered behind me at the entrance.
I dropped the burnt stew in the zink and look at it in amazement. Like how the hell did I forget this? What was I thinking!.” I muttered hitting my head.
“I think you should have gone to work oo .” I said.
“I took some leave just to be with you.”
“Are you seriously serious right now Mr Charles! .” I asked making a 90 degree turning.
“How More do you want me to be serious.” He said looking at me happily.
The door bell rang like an hour later. I went to open and was surprised seeing a young pretty lady at the door. Infact her beauty is such a catchable one.
“Hello ooo what can I do for you?.” I asked looking at her
“I am here to see Charles.”
.
“Huh! Like she just called him by his name.” I said in my mind galloping my saliva. Yeah, yeah! He is around. I answered and closed the door to go call Mr Charles.
TBC.
