MY BABY HUSBAND : EPISODE 21 – 40
MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 32
By Ayo Omolayo
Susan walked out of the room and shut the door. I remained on my knees staring at the door.
“What a treasure she is to you! What an embodiment of grace! What a great vessel! A warrior in the realm of the spirit! A discerner of mysteries! Wow! I’m so amazed by all she had said!”
“CRIS! DON’T BE CARRIED AWAY BY HER PERSONALITY! THERE’S AN INSTRUCTION SHE GAVE YOU. CAN YOU REMEMBER WHAT WAS THAT INSTRUCTION?”
“I…… Wait a minute! What was the instruction?” I asked.
I quickly stood up and made to run out of the room to ask Mummy Susan.
“WAIT!” Came the gentle command.
I paused in my tracks.
“SIT!”
I returned to the bed and sat down.
“YOU DIDN’T ASK ME TO REMIND YOU!” Came the gentle whisper.
“I’m sorry!” I apologized.
“HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BRING ALL THINGS TO YOU YOUR REMEMBRANCE?”
“Oh! I’m sorry Sweet Daddy!” I replied.
“PLEASE CALL ME THAT NAME AGAIN!”
I started giggling.
“Won’t someone come in and see me laughing? What would they say! Cris don mad again!” I said inwardly.
“YES! NA BETA MADNESS!”
“Yes ooooo!”
“CALL ME THAT NAME AGAIN!”
“Sweet Daddy!” I said, smiling shyly.
“CRIS! I’M BLUSHING!”
I burst into laughter and threw myself on the bed. Wow! I never knew quiet time would be this exciting. It’s almost like we shouldn’t end this conversation.
“So what was the assignment? I asked smiling.
“GROW IN GRACE!”
“Wow!” I exclaimed and snapped my fingers.
“Thank you so much!”
“ADD THE LAST WORDS”.
“The last words? I don’t understand!”
“AFTER THANK YOU, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO ADD MY PET NAME!”
I burst into another round of laughter.
“Daddy, stop acting like a baby!” I said laughing.
“COMPLETE YOUR SENTENCE! I’M WAITING!”
“Thank you, sweet Daddy!”
“YOU’RE WELCOME! MY BABY GIRL!”
I was just smiling uncontrollably.
“Dad!”
“YES DEAR!”
“I want to ask you a question?”
“GO AHEAD!”
“You know the kind of person I’ve been all these while. I’ve willingly disobeyed you. I proved to be stubborn. I was so adamant to your instructions. I chosed to go my way. I was so terrible!
Lord! I slept with Chris! I dishonored you with my body, which is your temple. I allowed him sleep with me, even when I knew as your daughter, it was wrong. I insulted Maggie and used my wealth to give are a big slap on the face.
“CRIS! WHERE ARE YOU HEADING WITH ALL THESE?”
“What I want to ask is, why would you want to make friends with me? Do you think you can trust an unfaithful servant like me? Don’t you think it’s easy for me to run away from you? Considering how often I’ve done that?”
“WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?”
“I don’t want this relationship to end. But I have a feeling, I’ll always fall back to my vomit. I’m so inconsistent in my walk with you and that’s what I’ll always be. Always starting afresh with God everyday. I don’t want to lose you ever again. But! I’m used to losing you and I just can’t help it!”
“BABY GIRL! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT SONG BY JOSH BATES?”
Immediately, the song came afresh to my heart.
“Time after time
You’ve been left behind
Like the sun when it’s started to fade.
Time after time,
You’ve been forgotten.
Like a picture that’s faded with age
Time after time,
You ran after me,
When I was still running away.
You never give up on me,
No you never give up on me.
Though I’m weak you are strong,
You told me I still belong.
No you never,
Never give up on me”.
“CRIS! I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF LOVE IS! BUT LOVE IS A CHOICE AND WHEN ITS A CHOICE IT MEANS YOU CHOSE WHO TO LOVE. THE ANGELS WERE THERE. THE 24 ELDERS, SO HOLY AND SINLESS, WERE THERE. BUT I CHOSED TO LOVE HUMANS. AND WHEN I MAKE A CHOICE, I DON’T BACK OUT.
I NEVER BACK OUT. I HAVE LOVED YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE. CRIS! I DON’T CARE TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. I DON’T CARE TO KNOW WHAT SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED WITH YOUR EX BOYFRIEND.
I HAVE CHOSEN TO LOVE YOU JUST AS YOU ARE. YOU ARE NOT PERFECT. YOU ARE FULL OF MISTAKES. YOU ARE STILL STRUGGLING IN YOUR WALK WITH GOD.
THIS IS THE IMPERFECT GIRL I HAVE CHOSEN TO LOVE. I CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT IT. I DON’T NEED YOUR GOOD RECORDS. I DON’T NEED YOUR VIRGINITY TO DETERMINE MY LOVE FOR YOU. I DON’T EVEN NEED YOUR PERFECTION. I HAVE CHOSEN TO LOVE YOU AND NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU!”
I bowed my head as I just couldn’t hold back those tears anymore. I went down on my knees and leaned on my hands.
Why would God still go after me? Why would he use all these vessels for me? Mrs Thompson, Mrs Oluwagbade, My sister Sharona, pastor Kunle, my father-in-law and even my unregenerate uncle to win me back.
“Lord! Please! Tell me what you want from me! I’ll give it to you!” I said admist tears.
“GIVE ME YOUR HEART! THE HEART IS THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING. IF I CAN HAVE YOUR HEART, I HAVE EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. THAT’S THE KEY TO TOTAL SURRENDER! CRIS, I NEED YOU HEART”.
Immediately, a scripture I once read popped in my head.
“1John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins”,
I stood up and raised my hands in the air.
“Sweet Daddy! Here’s the girl who broke your heart into several pieces. Here’s the girl who sinned and sinned and doesn’t deserve a second chance. Here’s the girl who deliberately disobeyed you. Here’s the girl who ran away from you countless times.
If you still want me, then take me! I don’t know what you saw in me that made you think something good can come out of me. But if you can love me this much, then I’m ready to love you in return”.
I felt goose bumps on my skin. It was as if someone entered the room and was invisibly present with me. I opened my eyes and looked around.
“STOP LOOKING AROUND! YOU KNOW ITS ME! Came the gentle whisper.
I smiled as I could physically sense God’s presence in the room. I was so overwhelmed with joy that my tears dropped uncontrollably.
“Daddy! I love you! I’m not going to say it with words anymore. Lord! Let everything that I do, prove my love for you. Let my actions speak to the world that Cris is madly in love with her new boyfriend”.
“I HAVE ACCEPTED YOUR GIFT! BELIEVE ME! ITS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL. CRIS! I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO TEACH YOU, BUT WE’LL TALK LATER”.
“Daddy! You said you wanted me to read two scriptures in the book of songs of Solomon chapter 2. I’m yet to read the second”.
“I KNOW, WE WOULD CONTINUE THIS CLASS LATER. WE’LL MEET DURING YOUR QUIET TIME TOMORROW MORNING AND CONTINUE THIS CLASS. WE TOOK LONGER THAN SCHEDULED”.
I looked at the clock on the wall. It was 7am. Wow! I had spent 4 hours with God. This was the first time I was staying this long with God.
“BESIDES, MUMMY SUSAN IS GOING BACK THIS MORNING. SHE WOULD SOON BE HERE TO GET HER BELONGINGS”.
“Daddy please let her stay!” I said pleading.
“BABY GIRL! SHE HAS TO RETURN TO HER DUTY POST!”
“Please na! You know I still need her!”
“NO! YOU NEED ME! DON’T MAKE AN IDOL OUT OF HER. I BROUGHT HER TO YOU, NOW IT’S TIME SHE RETURNS”.
“You’re not a sweet Daddy again oooo! Leave me alone!” I sulked playfully.
I could hear daddy laughing within me. Unconsciously, I found myself smiling. Was this what it was like to have God as your bestie? I was going to remain in this relationship for the rest of my life. Nothing would ever seperate me from this God.
I was still standing when the door opened. My mentor and Mummy Susan entered.
“Good morning ma!” I knelt down to greet the two women.
“Good morning!” My mentor replied, while Susan responded with a smiled.
“Mrs Oluwagbade is going back this morning ooo! So better start missing her ooo!” My mentor announced.
“Aah! Mummy please don’t go yet now! You know I still want you around me!” I said.
The two women started laughing.
“I have to go back! I’ve been around for the past one week at a youth camp my son and I attended. I was also invited to minister at the program. So when the program ended, I decided to use the opportunity to see your mother”, Susan replied.
“Please stay for me, just one more day!” I pleaded.
“You’ll have to tell my Bobo to allow me!” She said and chuckled.
“You mean God?” I asked.
“No! I’m talking about my handsome Bobo. Sweet George!” She replied.
I was more confused.
“Who is her handsome Bobo?” I asked within me.
“Cris! Her husband!” My mentor came to the rescue.
“Oh! Then give put him on call, let me talk to him”, I said and the two women laughed.
“Cris, I was supposed to go back yesterday. I had to beg and beg and even promise to buy him alot of things, before he agreed with me. So I don’t know where to start from this morning!”
Soon, her phone which was in her hand, started ringing.
“It’s my Bobo!” She announced, smiling sheepishly.
“Hello sweet!” She said as soon as she answered the call.
I watched her as she was so full of smiles. A pang of jealousy struck my heart.
“DON’T WORRY MY BABY GIRL! I’LL GIVE YOU THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD. I’LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”
I Smiled and looked towards the roof as though he was there.
“Thanks Dad!”
“CALL MY NAME IN FULL!”
“Oh sorry! Thanks sweet Daddy!”
“YOU’RE WELCOME MY PRETTY EBONY!”
I smiled and clasped my hands together.
“Sweet Daddy!”
“YES BABY GIRL!”
“I have something to tell! Something very important!” I said within me.
“GO ON! I’M LISTENING!”
“I love you!” I replied and burst into laughter.
The two women paused and turned to look at me.
I quickly stopped laughing as soon as I realized I had made a fool of myself.
“And who told you to stop laughing? Continue jare!” Susan said, holding the phone away from her ears.
“She don enter honeymoon! Holy Ghost honeymoon. It’s to be laughing at intervals that would be your experience henceforth!” My mentor said.
“Really?” I asked grinning.
“Please don’t stop! Continue with the love conversation”, Susan said and walked out of the room.
“Happy married life Christiana!” My mentor said and gave me a hug.
“Married? I don’t understand”, I replied.
“You don get new husband na! He’s going to tease you, laugh with you, teach you the word of God, give you comfort, keep you company and be with you in everything you do”.
“Wow!” I grinned shyly.
She lowered her voice into a whisper.
“Even when you enter the bathroom. He’ll still be right there with you!”
I burst into laughter and she joined me.
“Cris! I’m so happy for you. This is what the Holy Spirit came to do a long time ago. This was what Adam and Eve lost in the garden of Eden. That’s what Jesus restored on the cross. Please enjoy yourself!” She said and left the room in a jiffy.
I looked around and said within me.
“Daddy, please take it easy with me ooo. I don’t want everyone to start thinking I’m crazy!”
A scripture popped up in my head.
“Song of Solomon 1:2. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine”.
Immediately, I started laughing again.
