MY BABY HUSBAND : EPISODE 61 – 80

MY BABY HUSBAND

Episode 77

By Ayo Omolayo

I sat beside the hospital bed and held Maggie’s hand gently. She was taken to the hospital for treatment. Her condition was so worse that she had to be taken to the hospital immediately.

I looked around and waved at Silas who was on the phone with his mother. He smiled and waved at me.

Soon, he beckoned on me to join him.

“Mummy wants to talk to you”, he whispered and handed the phone to me.

“Hello mummy!” I greeted her.

“Hello Olamide! How are you?”

“I am fine ma! Mummy I’ve missed you ooo!”

“I’ve missed you too my dear! I was just asking Silas when the two of you would come to see us again?”

“You would need to ask him very well ooo! He’s the one that has been keeping your baby here ooo!” I replied and we both laughed.

“Olamide! So how far? What about your family? Have they given us the date to come and see them?” She asked.

“Mummy! We are trusting God ooo! My family is not really in support of the marriage. I have been praying that God should touch their heart. I don’t know what is really going on. But we are not going to stop praying untill they give their consent”.

“Amen ooooo! I don’t like the way they are delaying the two of you. The way love dey catch two of you, I don’t want anything funny to happen between the two of you. Please, take the prayers seriously and be watchful. Satan is such a dramatic personality.

I know he cannot do anything. But when we allow him through our carelessness and pride, he wrecks a lot of havoc. I just want the two of you to be careful”.

I exhaled.

“Mummy! You were the one who dressed a room for both of us to spend the night. And we refused so that we can stay pure. Is it now that we would start messing around? You knew all these but you dressed a room and asked us to sleep on the same bed”.

“I did it on purpose to test the two of you. And I was so grateful to God that you both remained firm and chosed to stand pure. All I’m saying is that this delay can lead to some unexpected occurrences. A situation where you both lose your guard and get carried away. I just want you both to be careful”.

“I get it mummy! We have always been careful and will never stop being careful. I have never entered your son’s house and he has never entered my house. God who started this journey for us will help us complete it in Jesus name”.

“Amen!”

“By the way, you need to see how careful we have been. I mean today, we had our first hug. And before I was able to hug him, I had to ask God for permission to hug him. Is it people that have not hugged since the relationship started that will start misbehaving? I mean, just hugging alone, we don’t, not to mention immorality”.

The call ended.

“Ah! What happened?” I asked Silas.

“Maybe her airtime got exhausted”, Silas answered as he took the phone from me.

“Oh my goodness! I was wasting mummy’s airtime? I owe her one thousand naira recharge card”, I replied.

He smiled and patted my shoulder.

“I hear you!” He said and squeezed my nose gently.

I hit him playfully, smiling.

“Let me call her back!” I replied and brought out my phone. I dialed her number, but the service replied me that her number was switched off. After three more attempts and the same response, we concluded on calling her later in the evening.

“Christy, I have to leave now. I have rehearsals in church very soon. Please look after Maggie very well”.

“Charming! I’m tired! I’m feeling sleepy sef? Can’t I go home to rest and come back later? I’ve been here all day. Besides, I’m hungry”.

“You’re tired and hungry?”

“Yes!”

“I’m almost late, let’s get to my place first, from there we’ll split. You take the car home and I’ll find my way to rehearsals.

“Sounds like a good idea!” I replied and took my purse.

We got out of the hospital and drove in my car to his place. He actually drove the car, while I enjoyed the ride. Soon, we arrived at his place and he told me to wait for him in the car so he can get what he needed and we leave.

I sat in the car waiting. His house was unlocked by Maggie’s criminal expert. Wait does that mean his door knob had been destroyed?

I came out of the car and walked towards the door. He opened it and smiled.

“Come and see this!” He said.

I quickly entered the house. It was my first time and I felt a little bit uneasy.

“This is bad, but funny! They stole my curtains”, he said pointing at the window.

I laughed and tried to look for a place to sit.

Sensitive enough, he quickly told me to sit on the bed. While he searched for the things he needed.

I looked around the house and picked up a book on the bed and started slipping through the pages.

“CRIS! I THOUGHT YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ENTER THE HOUSE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

“So because I entered the house, the next thing is to start fornicating abi? What kind of mentality is that?”

“CRIS WILL YOU GET OUT OF THIS PLACE. DON’T YOU KNOW AS A LADY, IT’S WRONG FOR YOU TO SIT ON A MAN’S BED. THAT ACT ALONE IS SHAMEFUL. IF HE CANNOT OFFER YOU A CHAIR, YOU HAVE TO STAND OR CARRY THE CONVERSATION OUTSIDE.

BEING IN CLOSED DOORS WITH THE OPPOSITE GENDER IS DANGEROUS. EVEN IF NOTHING HAPPENS, IF SOMEONE WITH A WEAK MIND OR CONSCIENCE SEES YOU, THEY’LL START JUDGING YOU FOR COMING OUT OF A MAN’S HOUSE. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR MAN THAT YOU MUST ENTER HIS HOUSE TO SAY IT?”

“Daddy don’t worry! Nothing will happen. It’s not everyone that enters a man’s house, ends up fornicating. That is a wrong mindset”, I replied within me.

Silas turned to me and smiled.

“Christy, close your eyes! I have something to show you!” He said and pulled me up to my feet.

I stood up and shut my eyes. What was he going to show me? Excitement welled up within me. I smiled and waited for when I would open my eyes.

“Now!” He said.

I opened my eyes and almost squealed in excitement. It was a portrait of me.

He held it up and asked me if I liked it?

“Is that a question? I love it”, I said and took it from him. I looked at the painting several times and back to him, all smiles.

“So you can draw?”

“Actually, it wasn’t me! It was a friend of mine who I gave the contract”, he answered.

“Wow! So you did this for me? That’s so sweet of you!” I said and rushed into his arms.

I dropped the picture and hugged him tightly. That was my mistake. I don’t know what was wrong with that one hug. My hormones became charged. I found out my body was completely activated for more.

I wanted to pull away, but at the same time I wanted it. Our lips got closer and closer and locked up in a kiss. It was as if a bell rang in my head, but the more I wanted to stop, the more I wanted to continue and the desire to continue seemed to be more stronger than the will to stop.

Silas fell for everything, making no attempt to resist me. What’s happening? Cris stop this! You can handle it. Control yourself! Please!

The fire in the room and our bodies got so intense that we could not stop. It had been a long time I was like this with a man. This made it was so easy for my body to connect with my past. Everything in me was ready to see this to the end.

“Daddy! Please show us mercy! Please help me! I’m in such a big mess! Please, rescue me!” I prayed within me.

My phone which was on the bed started ringing. That was our saving grace. That phone call, called us back to our senses.

“Jesus Christ!” Silas exclaimed and moved back.

I stood like a bag of rubbish, unable to hide my shame.

I picked up my phone and checked the caller’s ID. I threw the phone back on the bed.

Guess who was calling? I’m in trouble ooo!

Silas had rushed out of the room and left me to myself. The phone started ringing again.

“Jesus! I’m so sorry!” I said as hot tears poured down my cheeks.

“PICK THAT CALL!”

I knew I had to face her and start my confession.

“Hello mummy!”

“Oh thank God! What happened to you? Where are you? Are you okay?” My mentor asked.

“Ma!”

“I was in a meeting when suddenly, I was feeling so restless and the Holy Spirit kept telling me to call you. I was telling myself I would do it later, but the restlessness was to hard to ignore. I had to leave the place and call you. What’s going on? Is everything alright? This restlessness is beyond uneasiness. I have never felt like this for a mentee before.

It means you’re about to do something that would destroy your relationship with God. So what is going on right now?”

I wept on the phone like a baby, unable to utter a single word.

“Jesus! Cris tell me what happened?” She asked panicking.

“Mummy! I’m sorry!” I apologized.

“Hmmm! I’m getting a clue to what happened. But tell me nothing happened?”

“Your call was what saved us!” I answered admist tears.

“So you entered his house, right?”

“I’m sorry ma!”

“Don’t tell me you’re sorry! Give me my answer! Did you enter his house?”

“Yes ma!”

“Very good! Have I warned you never to visit him all alone? Have I?”

“Yes ma!” I answered still sobbing.

“I told you never to visit him alone, but you went ahead to do so, right?”

“I’m sorry ma! It’s my first time of entering his house”.

“Yes! And Satan was present to make it your last time. What was your assignment in his house? You went there to cook for him or wash his clothes, which of them?”

“He wanted to show me something”.

“And you went there and saw something, right?”

“Mummy, I’m sorry!”

“Sorry for what? For going to his house to see something? Why should you be sorry for that?”

“I’m such an idiot!” I said admist tears.

“I guess the Holy Spirit was there warning you, but as a big madam you are, you told him you can handle it, right?”

“Mummy please! Your words are hurting me!”

“Yes! Let it hurt you very well. As a mentor, there are times we need to flog our girls very well. Let these words hurt you so that you can never forget today in your entire life.

Do you know the meaning of that scripture. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Is like you don’t understand this God at all.

If man is fighting against you, who will you beg to help you?”

“God!” I answered.

“If God, plus Satan, who is always happy to destroy you, plus human being, join hands to fight you, who will you beg to help you?”

“No one!”

“God resists the proud. God fights the proud. You were given an instruction, but you waved it away. Why? You have a very smart and calculative brain. You’ve got things under control.

There’s nothing you cannot handle. You’ve got a better idea than God. The Holy Spirit warned you, but you sat down on his bed, looking at the something he was showing you.

He gives grace to the humble. Without grace, can your own strength carry you?”

“No ma!”

“You don’t know the meaning of that statement. That means, even if there is grace, God will take it away from you and watch you struggle and struggle untill you crash”.

“Daddy! I’m sorry!” I cried.

“Didn’t you notice you wanted to stop, but you couldn’t stop. Grace had left! It was willpower that was left. Will power cannot handle anything for long. You were telling yourself to stop, but the more you wanted to stop, the more the flesh overpowered you.

The day grace leaves a man. Ha! Cris! Pity the graceless man. He will tell you I will not do it! The next minute he will finish doing it and start crying. No power to do! Only power to talk and promise us heaven and earth.

When God becomes the enemy of a man? Ha! Pity that man! That proud man. The man God says go here and he says no to God! That man that God says , ‘do this’, and he says I have a better way to do it. That lady that God says, ‘End that relationship’, and she says, she cannot do such a thing.

Watch God bring you down. Watch him pluck off your feathers. Watch him take his grace away from you. Watch him allow Satan ruin your marriage. Watch him fight you till he humbles you completely.

Till all you have to say is, ‘Daddy! I will do as you have said’. A man whom God takes his grace from. Pity that man! Flesh will turn you to his slave.

I don’t want to do it ooo! But that’s what you will do. Because that grace that will help you overcome the flesh, has been taken away” .

I wept on the phone till I had no more strength to cry. This was indeed the biggest lesson of my life.

To be continued…….

Just a little bit of carelessness. Just a little bit of, “it’s alright!”

Was enough for the serpent to penetrate.

Whosoever breaks an edge, a serpent will surely bite.
