WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 51 – THE END
EPISODE 62
They say; when you are really desperate to have something, you would go to any length to get it. This was the case of Amaka, ever since she and Dele got married six months ago, she has been to different places looking for a solution to her childlessness.
Their wedding was everything Amaka wanted, as Dele made sure to give her the fairy tale wedding, she always dreamt of having while growing up. It was a destination wedding in Paris, with all their friends and family in attendance, after which they went to London for their honeymoon.
Since she came back from her honeymoon, her mother has taken her to different prophets and prophetess, who would ask her to do strange things, all in the bid for her to be able to have a child.
She and Dele have been to several hospitals, both home and abroad, and still no solution. So she decided to go completely spiritual.
One of them, took her to bath in the river at the middle of the night. While there is another one who locked her up in a room, and asked her not bath, nor brush for a whole week.
Amaka had to run for her dear life, when she started developing skin rash and eczema, her mouth was smelling so bad, that by the time she opened her mouth to speak to Dele when she got home, he had to cover his nose.
After that, he warned her never to go for any so called spiritual cleansing, or prayers. But Amaka kept sneaking off to other prayer houses whenever Dele was out of town.
The last one took her to the beach at mid night, claiming Amaka had a spirit husband, and that they needed to go to the beach at midnight for her to ask him to leave her alone, she needed to denounce him
“Is this not far enough?” Amaka had asked, after stepping into the water.
“No you have to keep going further, this is your spiritual husband we are talking about my daughter, you need to go a bit further so you can be able to connect with your spirit husband and have him leave you alone” The prophetess urged her to keep going.
It was then it dawned on Amaka that it was either she left, or she was going to get drowned in this sea, all because she is looking for a child.
Besides she can’t conceive because of the abortion she had years back, not because she has a spiritual husband, if she truly has a spiritual husband, then how come she was able to get pregnant back then?
She came out of the sea and started walking to where she parked her car.
“Where are you going? Go back” the prophetess said to her, but she didn’t answer her, she got into her car and drove off.

After that night, she swore she wasn’t going to have anything to do with any prophetess or prophet ever again.
But here she is again in another house of prayer, with a man who claims he specializes in solving fertility problems.
Her mother insisted she came down to the east, to meet this particular man of God.
“He has helped several women who were childless to have children” her mother had said to amaka, when she refused on going to see the man.
“Daughter of Zion, there is nothing the Lord cannot do, I treated cases worse than yours, and I can assure you that once we are done with all the prayers and spiritual cleansing, you will carry your baby in Jesus name”
“Amen” Amaka echoed in faith, believing what the man of God said.
He told Amaka to kneel down, while he laid his hands on her head and prayed for her.

After one hour of intense prayers, and speaking in tongues, the man of God asked her to stand up.
“Daughter of Zion it’s almost over, one more session and it’s done, I can feel it in my spirit” the man of God closed his eyes as he spoke.
“Hallelujah” Amaka waved her hands.
“Oh give Jesus a wiper, for he has done it”
Amaka continued to wave her hands.
“Now it’s time for the final session of our prayers, this session seals and supercedes every other prayer that we have made, so you have to take it seriously”
“Okay man of God” Amaka nodded her head vigorously.
“Very good, so now this part requires that you have sx for it to be effective”
“Oh okay, no problem”
“Good so let’s go to the inner room”
The man of God started walking towards a door at the extreme of the church auditorium.
“Wait, I don’t understand” Amaka stopped the man of God.
“We are going for the second session of the prayer” The man of God explained.
“Why can’t we do it here? Must we go to the inner room to do it?”
“You want to have sx out here in the open?”
“Ehn? I beg your pardon? Who is going to have sx? Because I don’t understand what you are saying” Amaka asked, clearly annoyed at the supposed man of God’s audacity.
“Which one is you don’t understand again? This session requires you to have sx for it to work”
“And I will have sx with my husband when I get back home”
“No it has to be done here, it has to be done this minute, infact it has to be done by me”
“You and who is doing that one?”
“You and I of course, or don’t you want to have children?”
“Not on your life will I sleep with you” Amaka quickly picked up her bag, and started to walk out of the auditorium.
“I would suggest you think about it before leaving, so many people have been here before you, and they did what I’m asking you to do, today they have their children”
Amaka didn’t even stop to answer him, she just continued walking, until she got to the nearest bus stop, and took a taxi to the airport.
She didn’t bother going back to see her mother, and give her feedback like they had earlier discussed she would. She would have to call her, and tell her everything that had happened, when she gets home.
When she got to the airport, she took the next available flight to Lagos.
All through the trip, Amaka couldn’t get herself to stop shaking, how on earth did she get to this point? Is this what her life has become? For how long is she going to continue like this?
“I’m done, no more! No more tests, no more visiting prayer houses, if I can’t have a child because of some mistake my mother made in the past, then so be it! Because I am done!” She said to herself, not minding who was watching or listening.
The man sitting by her side, was staring at her in a very strange manner.
When her plane landed, she took a cab to Dele’s office, and the moment she got his office, she went straight to where he was standing and enveloped him in a hug crying. Not minding that he was in the company with one of his staff.
“Please excuse us” Dele dismissed the man, who was confused at Amaka’s reaction.
“Baby what’s going on? Why are you crying? I thought you were supposed to be visiting your mum?”
Amaka didn’t reply any of Dele’s questions, she just continued sobbing into his shirt.
“Babes, what’s wrong? Talk to me, you are making me worried”
Amaka finally cleaned her tears, and told Dele everything that happened.
He was calm for a long while, looking at Amaka.
“Dele please say something” Amaka pleaded.
“Let’s go home, this is not what we will talk about in the office”
He rang his manager, and told him to take care of things in his absence.
All through the ride back to their home, Dele didn’t say a word to Amaka, until they both got home.
“Dele please talk to me, I know you are mad at me for what I did but…”
“Like hell I’m mad! Amaka first of all, you went against something I asked you not to do, and not only that, you lied to me just so you could achieve your plans”
“Dele I’m sorry”
“Amaka you told me your mother was sick, and you needed to see her, only for you to go visit some fake man of God!”
“I didn’t know he was fake, I’m sorry”
“How am I supposed to believe you next time? Babe you looked me in the face and lied to me!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I only wanted to find a solution to our problem” Amaka cried
“And our problem is a medical one, not spiritual!”
Amaka went to him, and wrapped her hands around his waist.
“I’m sorry Dele, please forgive me, I promise I will never lie to you again”
“And you will stop visiting these prayer houses?”
“Never again”
“Babes” he held her face in his hands. “I know you are doing all of this because you want to give me a child”
“Yes, I just want you to have your own child and…..”
“But I’m not complaining, am I? Look at you, you have lost so much weight all because you are looking for a way to give me a child, I don’t like seeing you like this babes, please you have to stop.
“I’m sorry baby, I’m done I promise”
