IF ONLY I HAD WAITED

Part 9
“Sandra, I never knew my mum was the one behind my predicament. I never knew she was the one.” My husband said.
“What concerns me with that? Your mum wasn’t in support of you getting married to me. She was a thorn in my flesh. So, what else do you want to tell me about your mother or whatever? Please, I have limited time to spend with you.” I said as I adjusted myself on my seat.
“Sandra, my eyes have been opened. I’ve been hypnotized since all these days. Please, be patient with me to hear me out.” He said.
I decided to hear him out because initially, I wasn’t ready to hear anything from him.
He made me to understand that his mother belonged to a demonic kingdom. She happened to be their leader. Along the line, in their kingdom, each member was to donate human blood, heart, womb etc.
She decided to donate her own daughter’s womb in their meeting. In fact, I once knew my husband’s sister to be a barren woman. She married for years without a child, yet her husband wasn’t on her neck until God remembered her. Her predicament drew her close to God. She was a lover of God despite all her reproaches. God finally visited her with a bouncing baby boy and a girl (twins).
I couldn’t hold my tears when he made it known to me that his mother donated my own womb in their meeting.
Well, I’m actually to me blamed. I wasn’t fully rooted in Christ and that was why something like that could happen.
“I am confused. After taking my womb why was she that callous to me? How on earth could she bring another woman into my house? Why did I have to pass through hell in her hands and even in your hands? I passed through hell, terrible hell! Yet, you still have the gut to come here. I’m done with this discussion.” I said as I moved to a corner to cry my eyes out.
I never knew he was still around.
Everything that has happened in that house came back to my memory. It was as if I was watching a tragedic movie. I couldn’t erase some bad memories. I just couldn’t help it. I broke down in tears.
“Sandra, mum needs your forgiveness. She is on her sick bed. She asked me to reach you. She would be happy to see your face.” He said.
“Over my dead body will I move an inch with you to any where.” I said.
I was almost becoming insane. I picked my bag up from the table and commanded him to leave my office.
He did. I went to my apartment immediately. I never knew he was following me. How he got to know where I was leaving deeply pained me.
I didn’t want him to know anything about me again.
I entered my apartment, managed to sit on the sofa. I broke down in tears afresh.
I was still deeply in tears when he knocked at my door. When I got to know that he was the one, I yelled at him.
All attempts to chase him out of my apartment became futile.
I went back to my sofa to continue my tears. He sat down on the floor, weeping.
We were both helpless. No one to comfort us. He needed someone to comfort him, I also needed a comforter.
After few minutes without saying a word to each other, he stood up and looked into my eyes.
“Sandra, I was deeply in love with you when we started the journey of life together. Now that my eyes are opened, I still love you. I’m still deeply in love with you. I’m deeply sorry for all I put you through. I promised never to lay my hands on you while we were courting, but, I broke that promise. I treated you like a trash. I regret all my actions. I don’t know if you will ever forgive me. I keep condemning myself for all I made you pass through. I wish I had waited patiently. I wish I had not listened to my mum. I wish I was the best husband to you. Now, no true love in my life. Well, I’m sorry once again. I still love you. Bye bye.” He said.
As he was about to take his leave, I called him back.
I held him tight as if my life depended on his hug for survival. I allowed my tears to flow freely. He was also in tears.
To be continued.
