The invite

Chapter Four

That what I saw while praying sir. I couldn‟t figure out the meaning‟. Bro. Paul said to his

pastor which he went to explain the trance to. „Alright our God is not an author of confusion,

I will pray concerning it and I believe God will reveal himself to us‟. The pastor said.

„Alright sir, thanks so much daddy, extend my greetings to mummy and the children‟. Paul

said.

„Alright I will, but before you leave Bro. Paul I will like to discuss something very important

with you. It‟s about your marital life; talk to me what is happening‟.

„Sir I‟m praying concerning it, but to be frank with you pastor am scared‟.

„You are scared, what are you scared about‟

„Hmmmmm, daddy this sisters of nowadays a lot of them are pretenders‟.

„You shouldn‟t have to be, though no one is perfect just take your mind away from that.

Everyone has their own past and that not the issue, it will only become an issue if it‟s not

dealt with properly before marriage. You can‟t marry an angel, so don‟t panic about that‟.

„Alright sir thanks so much‟. Paul said while he takes his leave.

„Mrs. Adebola you will have to come back in two days‟ time for the result of the test‟, the

doctor she visited said.

„Doctor can‟t I wait for the result‟, Dara asked impatiently.

„You can‟t wait madam, you will have to come in two days‟ time, by then the result will be

out‟.

„Alright sir, have a nice day‟. Dara replied the doctor and left the Doctors office, and from

there she went back to work.

Different thought kept running through Dara minds as she was wondering what the result of

the test would be.

„What if I don‟t even have a womb or it‟s damaged? God please have mercy on me, you said

it in your words that old things has passed away and all things as become new. Lord I don‟t wish to suffer from the mistake of my past, and then I was ignorant. My lord and my God

don‟t put me to shame, don‟t let me be mock, come to my aid‟.

Dara heard a tiny voice saying „He who covers his sin shall not prosper, but who so ever

confess and forsake them shall be blessed‟.

She thought within herself that she has to confess and forsake her sin. She heard again, „tell

your husband about it‟.

She looks round and saw Kate who was busy working on her system. Darasimi sighed.

Ajibike packed her luggage; aim at leaving for her village after she has successfully

completed the ritual as she was instructed by Baba Ewegbami.

„Mami I don‟t know the reason why you insist on going. Are we not taking care of you here?‟

James questions his mother.

„There‟s no place like home, let me go, moreover I have to attend the naming ceremony of

my friends daughter Amope.

„Okay mama, when Dara comes back from work, she won‟t be happy that you left eventually,

after we have tried persuading you‟.

„My regards to her, although I know my presence is disturbing her peace‟.

„That not fair enough, don‟t worry next time you came visiting, it will be to take care of our

child‟. James assures his mother.

„I hope so‟. Ajibike replied.

„Don‟t hope, so shall it be‟. James added.

James sees off his mother off to the garage, where she board bus going to her village.

Darasimi was impatiently waiting at the reception, expecting to be called upon for her result.

In the cause of this, different thought runs through her mind.

„You can go in madam‟ a nurse interrupted her thought. Darasimi walked into the Doctor

office with a great determination in her. „Good afternoon madam you can have your sit ma‟.

The doctor said. „Good afternoon doctor, how was your day been‟? Darasimi asked.

„It was nice‟.

So doctor how is the result‟.

„It is… Mrs. Adebola, did you know that our God is full of mysteries?‟

„Yes, doctor‟. Darasimi answered the doctor.

„Calm down madam, God works in diversity kinds of ways and moreover….‟

Darasimi was not comfortable with what the doctor was saying anymore, she interrupted him.

„Yes, God is wonderful; doctor how is the result of the test?‟ Darasimi impatiently asked.

„Madam I‟m very happy you are a good Christian and your husband is also not also just a

church goer but a child of God. Mrs. Adebola did you know that God can bring out

something out of nothing, did you believe that?‟

Darasimi who already knows where the conversation will end cannot help it but wept

profusely.

„Mrs. Adebola oluwadarasimi medically your chances to conceive are very slim but divinely,

you can be a mother of triplet. Darasimi cried out bitterly, the doctor called the nurse to

comfort her‟.
