Me: “Okay Obyno, I’ll do so immediately”. We ended the call and I sent my details to him, my other account. Few minutes later, I got an alert that shook my phone. He later chatted me and told me how to split the money. Yet my own share was huge.

Vera had gotten her things ready, I quickly drove her to the park to take a bus to the next city, so I could return to take care of my kids . I told her to stay in a hotel until I call her to return. I gave her good sum of money. While we were driving out of the gate, my husband was driving in.

CONTINUATION

***********************************************

He wasn’t alone, Jude was with him. We both pretended like we haven’t met before. I pulled over and I greeted. But spoke to Vera before I pulled down my glass to speak with them.

Me: (To Vera). “Just be calm, I’ll take care of the situation”.

Vera: “Okay aunty”. (She answered, then I I greeted Mr Jude).

Me: “Good day sir”.

Jude: “Good day madam”.

Husband: “That’s my beautiful wife”.

Jude: “She’s indeed beautiful, please to meet you madam”.

Me: “The pleasure is mine sir”. (Vera also greeted).

Husband: “Baby, meet Mr. Jude, my friend. He just returned to Nigeria last night. He came back to get married.

Me: “That’s nice, all the best sir”.

Jude: “Thank you madam”. (He responded). “That’s the lady, yes, that’s her”. (He said pointing at Vera and looking at a picture in his hand). “She’s the lady I returned to Nigeria to get married to”.

Husband: “Are you for real? What a coincidence?”.

Jude: “Yeah man, it is indeed a coincidence, common baby. Come give me a hug”.

Me: “Stay calm, let me handle this”. (I told Vera in a low voice).

Me: “She’s really not in a good mood right now”. (I told Jude, then turned to my husband). Baby, I would have called you dear, but it’s an emergency. Vara’s father is sick and her presence is needed as soon as possible”. (I saw the reaction on Jude’s face, he became so apprehensive).

Husband: “Oh dear, that’s sad. Where are you taking her to?”.

Me: “To the park, so she can take a bus to the village”.

Husband: “It’s okay, I wish him quick recovery. Mr Jude, calm down man, there’s always a plan “B”. We can always visit her village to see the dad, as well as see her and perform other marriage rights. Village is the best place to go see her”. (I understood what my husband meant when he said “there’s always a plan “B”, but I pretended).

Me: “Let me hurry, it’s getting late. So she can get a bus “.

Husband: “It’s okay sweet, hope you have enough money on you?”.

Me: “Yes I do”. (I immediately drove off to avoid further questions).

Vera: “Aunty, what is going on? I don’t understand”.

Me: “Doing this for your good Vera, I will make you understand at the appropriate time. Once you get to the next city, send me the address of the hotel you’ll stay and most importantly, change your sim cards, get a new one(s) and send the new number(s) to me”. (I told her, then drove her to the park and hurried back home for my kids).

My husband wasn’t at home when I got home, my kids were still peacefully asleep. I had solved one of the problems, taking Vera away from the house, next was to save Kevin’s life. I waited for my guardian angel to guide me on what to do, as for my kids and I, wasn’t afraid. Because He that is with us is more than majority.

My husband returned later that evening, linking worried. Even though he tried to hide it, I knew he wasn’t okay.

Me: “Welcome dear”.

Husband: “Thank you angel”. (He responded, forcing a smile on his face).

Me: “How is your friend Jude?”

Husband: “He’s fine, I’ll be accompanying him to Vera’s village tomorrow for introduction”.

Me: “Oh! That’s nice, Mr. Jude is really serious about this”.

Husband: “Yes he is, that’s why he returned to Nigeria. He’s got less than a week to stay in Nigeria. So he needs to hurry things up”.

Me: “That’s a good one, I wish him well. What about Kevin, who stays with him in the hospital? You know I can’t do that since Vera is not around”.

Husband: “Yeah, I know. I paid one of the nurses to help me look after him. We shall return a day after tomorrow”.

Me: “Good one, go and freshen up. You look tired, I’ll get your food ready before you’re done”.

Husband: “Okay sweet”. (He left for his room).

After about two hours, he was done with his meal and left the house. I hadn’t heard from Vera, so I became worried. The drive to the next town shouldn’t take more than one hour, it was two hours already. “Hope all is well with her?”. I asked myself. I tried calling her numbers, but they couldn’t connect.

Four hours gone, 8:45pm by the time, I hadn’t heard from her, I became more worried.

I waited and waited, expecting she would call. All to no avail. It was 12:00 hours (midnight ), yet Vera was yet to all. I tried to sleep if my guardian angel would appear in my dream to tell me if she was okay, sleep refused to come. But I heard the still voice say to me. “Worship God, only songs of worship”. Then I went into worship. My husband didn’t return to the house that night.

After one hour of worship, my phone rang, it wasn’t Vera’s voice as I had expected. It was a private number and a male voice.

Voice: “I’m I unto Mrs. Angela?”. (The voice asked when I answered the call).

Me: “Yes you are, please whom I’m I unto?”. (I asked with fear).
