MY BABY HUSBAND : EPISODE 41 – 60
MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 47
By Ayo Omolayo
“Some weeks ago, I called bro Silas into my office for a serious conversation. And at the end of the conversation, I sent him away with prayer points. Soon he came back with the answer.
But I told him to go back and continue the prayers. The answer remained the same. I told him I was going to pray personally about it. I sought the face of God and got the same answer”.
Where’s he heading to? What’s this answer they’re referring to? Hope it’s not what I’m thinking?
“Sir! What’s the answer?” I asked.
“You are the wife of Bro Silas Akande!”
Should I say my ears had battery problems? Or probably they needed fixing. This was the biggest hallucination of the century.
I laughed. Yeah! That’s a good joke. But would pastor Kunle leave his busy schedule to come and tell me jokes in my office? Recognition set in.
The pastor and Oga Silas looked at me with surprise on their faces.
“I’m sorry pastor! Can you please come again let me hear you clearly?” I asked.
“Christiana Kolapo! God wants me to tell you that you are the wife of Bro Silas Akande”.
I laughed mockingly.
“I know it’s hard for you to believe. That’s why I told you I would give you some prayer points to take with you. We have prayed and gotten confirmations. You also need to pray and get your confirmations too”.
Wait oooo! Do this people know who they’re talking to? This is Cristina Kolapo. The CEO of the Kolapo production company. First daughter of late Chief Bright Kolapo. You expect me to marry a pauper? A gateman? Oh! Is it because I’m a Christian that you want to make a fool out of me? How many times have journalist asked who I was dating? Do I announce to the world I was getting married to a gateman?
“Pastor! You lie!” I said bluntly.
He smiled.
“Easy Cris! It’s a hard pill for you to swallow, but……”
“It’s not my pill ooo! I’m not sick ! What do I need pill for? Please, I think the two of you need to swallow that pill and get healed, cause you’re both crazy!”
“Sister!” The pastor called in shock.
“Don’t sister me! I’m a friendly person. So you think you can enter my office and say rubbish. Does this place look like a comedy house? Am I stupid? Oh! I should marry my gateman? My gateman for that matter? Not even my manager or something, it’s gateman God say I should marry.
Thank you so much for your revelations. I thought you both had something important to say. I guess you’re both done here. So please, make good use of the door”.
The pastor smiled and stood up. All these while, Oga Silas bowed his face and made sure our eyes didn’t meet. He also stood up with the pastor and turned his face the other way.
“Christiana! I know it’s hard for you to believe it. It was also hard for us too. Do you know how many casting and binding we did, thinking it was a demon? But God got angry with us and told us we were delaying his plans. We had to take the bold step to meet with you.
Anyway! I won’t force you to believe us. I’ll hand you over to God! He’ll take it from here. You once lives a life of rebellion towards God! Let’s see if you can handle living that kind of life again.
I banged my table and stood up.
“Are you stupid?” I said on top of my voice.
I saw the shock in his face but I didn’t care.
“Are you sure you’re not insane? Are you sure your brain is still functioning? So because you are a man of God you expect me to buy that trash you call revelation!”
“Christiana! Don’t speak when you’re angry! That’s not a good time to speak. Never take decisions when you’re angry. Anger is a very powerful emotion in the soul of man. I know on a normal day, you wouldn’t spill all these words you’re spilling now. So I’ll act like I never heard them!” He said and smiled at me.
“I don’t care! Act like a fool if you like! But make sure you and my gateman leave my office this minute!
And you Oga Silas!” I called and pointed at him.
“I believe I was too familiar with you. That’s what made you sleep in the night and started having demonic visions about me. Go and meet that spirit that told you I’m your wife. Tell the spirit to give you another wife! Nonsense!” I hissed.
“Get out!” I yelled.
They turned and left my office.
“Rubbish!” I said and sat down.
“Just imagine! My gateman? Ewo! So of all the men God could give to me, it was gateman? If it was the gateman of another company it would have been even better! But it’s now the gateman of my own company.
Chai! This is the comedy of the century. The CEO of the Kolapo production company marries gateman! Love is blind! Abi?
Wonders shall never end! My friends are already telling me that this Christianity had made me crazy. This is the greatest height of insanity. That’s exactly what the news would carry. Young CEO Weds company gateman. Ha! Who in his right senses would do that?”
I opened my laptop to continue what I was doing. I closed it back as I just couldn’t concentrate. I tried to get the thought off my head. But it wasn’t working. So I decided to visit a restaurant and eat a sumptuous meal. That should do. I had forgotten that Evelyn prepared something for me.
I called my driver and told him to meet me at the garage. I took the elevator and got to the garage as quickly as possible.
My driver was yet to join me.
“Where is this stupid !” I yelled.
He started running towards me.
“I’m sorry ma!” He apologized.
“Sorry for your idiotic head! Next time I call you and you keep me waiting! I’ll deduct 20 percent from your salary! Idiot!”
He looked at me as if he was seeing a different person. He was shocked by the latest development.
“Would you stop looking at me and open this car?”
“Sorry ma!” He said and brought out the keys.
I sat down at the owner’s corner and exhaled.
Soon we got to the gate. Oga Silas quickly opened it. He made sure not to allow any eye contact between us.
The driver was almost driving out when I told him to wait. I quickly moved the glass down.
“Oga Silas!” I called.
He stood still and didn’t move.
“Don’t worry! I’ll come and marry you in your dreams! Idiot!” I said and spat through my car window.
He kept his face bowed, ensuring he didn’t look at me.
“Drive this car my friend!” I told the driver.
As we left, I kept looking back to see if he would look at me. But he only shut the gates. He didn’t look at me. I hissed and turned around. A pang of remorse sprang up within me, but I quickly waved it off.
fast in my chest. I can’t explain how I was feeling.
“Sometimes, you need to remind the gateman that he is a gateman!” I said within me.
We left the company building. My heart was pumping so
We arrived at the restaurant in no time. I quickly got in and ordered for something to drink. Chilled sprite would do. After a few sips, I felt a little bit calm.
I breathe in deeply and relaxed my back on the chair.
So the only one God saw was a gateman? Not just a gateman, it’s my gateman. Wait so how are we going to live as husband and wife? As we’ll drive into the company, he’ll step down and open the gate for me. So all these while that God was telling me he was going to give me the best husband in the world. It was my gateman he was referring to. Abomination!
The humiliation is too much! I’ll not do such a stupid thing. Who does that? There are so many men to chose from. What about Harry Balogun? God skipped the gorgeous man and found a gateman.
Harry was such a handsome man. A successful man. One with a beautiful reputation in the the society. At least his father is not a gateman. Everyone knows his dad. Their ministry is such a popular ministry. Everyone knows his dad to be a firey preacher.
Here’s a good man. This guy is better than the rubbish God gave me.
Wait what am I even saying sef? I don’t understand myself anymore. I have spoken so many hurtful words to the people I love.
What’s wrong with me? I can’t believe I insulted that man of God I respected so much. Even Oga Silas. What had they done to deserve all the insults I unleashed on them?
Wait! Pastor tried to warn me against taking decisions when I was angry. This is too much for me to bear. Where do I go from here? I had eaten my vomit. I had fallen back to the life of cursing and rebellion.
And wait a minute! Why did I over react? All I should have done was to tell them I would pray about it. What were the insults for? Jesus! How did I land here? I can’t believe I insulted a man of God. And Oga Silas! I have humiliated him so much. Oh no! Cris what is wrong with you?
The dream I had in the morning came back in a flash. I remembered how I ignored the burden to pray. I was so concerned about my work and ignored the salvation of my soul. What’s wrong with me? How did I get here in such a jiffy?
And as quickly as possible, I realized I hadn’t heard a single word from my Sweet Daddy. I’ve been on my own all these while. Oh no! I can’t be eating vomit! No! What do I do?
I bowed my head to hide my face. I felt so ashamed of myself. I can’t believe I had just insulted a great man of God. I needed to call him and apologize to him. And Oga Silas, hmmmmm! What do I do about him?
First, I need to understand something. All the pastor needed me to do was to pray and get confirmation from God if Bro Silas was my husband. Why did I over react? My emotions got the better side of me.
“Daddy! I’m so sorry! I failed you!” I began to cry as I whispered prayers to God.
“I’m so sorry! I insulted the man of God and your son, who thinks he is your will for my life!”
“CRIS! HEAR ME AND HEAR ME CLEARLY! I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD! IT’S UP TO YOU TO REJECT HIM OR ACCEPT HIM!”
I froze. My lips stopped moving.
“Aah! I’m finished ooo! Was God telling me that my gateman was my husband? Ha! God please don’t do this to me! I will repent of any sin I have committed. Please don’t humiliate me before men. Journalist and radio stations would announce it. TV stations would spread the news. I would become an object of riddicle.
Please take this cup away from me! Take the cup! I can’t drink it! Please take it!”
“COMPLETE THE PRAYER!”
I paused.
“Complete what?”
“TAKE THIS CUP AWAY FROM ME, NEVERTHELESS! CAN YOU RECITE THE REMAINING PART OF THAT VERSE?”
I opened my mouth, but I couldn’t complete the prayers. I wasn’t ready to drink any cup. I needed a man with a wonderful reputation. Not the gateman.
“CRIS! I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD. IT’S LEFT FOR YOU TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM”.
I looked up and wiped my tears. I was still wiping them off when my eyes saw someone I knew.
He saw me and recognized me immediately.
Am I dreaming or what?” He asked.
I looked at him and smiled. It was Harry Balogun.
“Wow! I can’t believe it! I almost thought I was dreaming!” He said and sat with me.
“Wait a minute! Was this the best husband in the world God was referring to? Oh my goodness! I had been a fool. God was only testing me with Oga Silas and I failed!”
To be continued…..
Brethren, I’m confused ooo!
Who is Christiana’s husband?
By the way, tell her to apologize to pastor Kunle oooo!
I can’t believe she could open her mouth and say something against the Lord’s anointed.
The story is getting tougher!
Watch out what happens to Christiana in the next episode
