The Complete Woman!
Episode 4.
That day was the last day Marvis came to church. So many people wondered why she stopped coming to church, but Isaiah
and I knew exactly why. And though I was not happy that she had to stop coming to church just to show me how much she was unhappy, there was nothing I could do.
Preparations for my wedding had already started and it was only few weeks left. One evening I was busy arranging the cards according to the persons I wanted to invite for my wedding, and then I hear the door bell ring. I stood to open and behind it was Marvis.
Marvis: Dani hi, (she said all full of smile)
Me: (was very shocked because I know how we parted the last time we saw.) Marvis, what are you doing here?
Marvis: Is that the welcome you are suppose to give a friend?
Me: Am so sorry, please come in.
Marvis: Thank you. (She comes in and takes her seat)
Me: Marvis where have you been? You just disappeared without any trace.
Marvis: Dani am so sorry about that. Infact it is the major reasons am here.
Me: Really? I asked adjusting my seat.
Marvis: I came to apologise to you and Brother Isaiah for my outburst the other day, It was uncalled for and I am so sorry. I owe you Dani my heartfelt apology. Please accept it.
Me: Its okay Marvis, we don’t chose for our hearts who they chose to love. So its okay.
Marvis: You mean you no longer angry with me?
Me: No Marvis its ok.
Marvis: Wow Dani you are really an angel (she rushes to me and gives me a tight hug, I felt like she would never let me go, but finally she did.) Am really so grateful to you. Where is Brother Isaiah I need to apologise to him too
Me: Oh he went out but will soon be back.
Marvis: In an hour will he be back?
Me: Yes he should be back by then.
Marvis: Okay I will check him up on my way out so I can tell him sorry too.
Me : That’s ok.
Marvis: I hope you are okay with it o,
Me: Of course I have no problem Sister Marvis.
Marvis: And you ain’t scared that I will try to steal your man?
Me: No am not.
Marvis: Why is that?
Me: Because I trust my man.
Sister Marvis smiles and looked at me.
Marvis: Its alright Dani, see you later.
Me: No problem Marvis. Bye
Marvis: Bye
She greeted me and walks off and I stood as I pitied her.
The next day being a Sunday I decided to stop at Isaiah’s place so that we can go to church together as usual. When I got there, I felt the atmosphere was not fair but I couldn’t place my hand on anything. I looked around me of anything or anyone was around but I saw no one. And so I just knocked on the door.
I could hear Israel from inside, I know he was fully ready for church. I knocked again and then he ran to the door and opened. He was looking like the kind of man I would be proud of as my husband. Sharp and handsome. I smiled as I imagined so many things on my head./I couldn’t wait for Saturday to come to finally say I do to him.
Me: Good morning handsome, ”I said beaming with smiles.
Isaiah: Jesus Christ, something is smelling. What is smelling around here.
I turned and looked around me but couldn’t find anything, I could not even smell whatever it was that was smelling so bad that Isaiah had to cover his nose. He also walked passed me and looked around but didn’t see anything.
Me: I can’t smell anything o dear. I only came to see if you were already dressed so that we can go to church together.
Isaiah: Oh honey, I don’t think you can wait for me today. (He runs inside and carried his Bible, a jotter and handed it over to me. Take these and keep a very good seat for me beside you Ok? (He said smiling)
Me: But you are already dressed. Let’s go together let’s chat along the way. You know our wedding is Saturday and I won’t be around till that day. I will be going to my parents place from church and we won’t be seeing until that day. So please let’s use this opportunity to chat before I leave.
Isaiah: I know all of this honey, but am having a running stomach and you won’t be able to wait for me and I don’t want you to he late for church so please go ahead and I will join you okay? (he gave me a kiss on my head forcing me to smile). I will join you soonest sweetheart. Don’t worry.
Me: Its alright, but can’t I stay and take care of you? I don’t mind o.
Isaiah: See my sweetheart worrying over me (he said jokingly) Don’t worry dear, I am fine and I will join you later.
Me: Okay (I said disappointed.) ( I really wanted us to walk hand in hand to church and now this. I walked away quietly, I will wait for him in church and ask him if Marvis visited him and what she said. I have a lot of things to discuss with him before going over to my parents house. I smiled to myself as I remembered how sharp he was looking when he came out of the house. I started singing to God who made it possible for him to be mine.)
