Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 14

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

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).

CONTINUATION

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

Voice: “Okay madam, my name is Inspector Gerald from the State Divisional Police headquarters”. (When I heard it was the police, I had a little relief and mixed feelings at the same time. I hope Vera is okay, I asked myself).

Me: “Okay sir, I hope all is well?”.

Police: “Yes madam, all is well. One Miss Vera is here with us, she said she’s your sister”. (When I heard Vera’s name, I became calm, but wondered what she would doing at the police station that time of the night).

Me: “Yes, she’s my sister, been worried about her. She left since morning to the next town and ought to have arrived her destination long ago. Is everything okay with her?”.

Police: “Yes, she’s fine now. She was involved in an accident”. (My heart skipped and I shouted).

Me: “Jesus Christ! Accident?”.

Police: “Calm down madam, like I said, she’s fine now. The bus she was in collided with a truck, the damage on the bus was much. A lot of lives were lost, but your sister came out unhurt. She’s been in shock since it happened around 10:35am, she was taken to the hospital and had long regained consciousness. We got your number from her few minutes ago and decided to put a call across to you”. (I was so relieved to hear that she was okay). “We requested to see any of her relatives, but she said you’re the only person she has and that you’re a nursing mother of twins, it might not be feasible for you to come around”.

Me: “Yes she’s right, I am nursing my twins of eight months old. My husband lives abroad and we have no relative close that might come around. She’s new in the city, I told her to stay in a hotel/Guest Inn for at least one week so she could get herself a place to stay. Is she still at the hospital?”.

Police: “Yes madam and we have to sort out her bills before she leaves”.

Me: “That’s not a problem, how much is the bill?”. (He told me, then I requested for his account details and told him to end the call and call back while I transfer the money to him. He sent his details shortly after and I transferred to him double of the amount he told me).

Police: “I just received the money madam, double the amount I told you”. (He said when he called back).

Me: “Yes sir, settle the hospital bill and keep the rest for yourself and your men. I appreciate your efforts”.

Police: “Thank you madam, you’re a good citizen. I will help take your sister to a hotel in a secured environment, she’ll be safe for as long as she’s here. I think you people serve a true God, no one would have believed anyone could come out alive from the accident, let alone unhurt. Only your sister did, so many died and others seriously injured. Your God is alive”.

Me: “Yes ooo, I know my redeemer lives. Please, can I speak with my sister?”.

Police: “Sure you can”. (He handed over the phone to Vera).

Vera: “Aunty, God is indeed wonderful. You need to see the bus I was in how damaged it is. I didn’t believe I could come out alive, God is really great”.

Me: “My dear, you can say that again. I’ve been so worried, wondering what must have happened. Anyway, thank God you are safe. The police officer said he will get you a good hotel to stay”.

Vera: “Yes aunty, he and his men have been so nice to me. They’ve all treated me nicely”.

Me: “Thank God for them, hope you didn’t loose anything? Your phone has been switched off”.

Vera: “No aunty, everything is intact. My phone may have gone off on it’s own. The police kept every of my belongings safe. They’ve handed over everything to me”.

Me: “Good, give him the phone let me talk with him. Get in touch with me when you get to your hotel room”.

Vera: “Okay aunty, I will. Even even bought new sim cards and registered them at the park before we left. I’ll call you with the new number(s)”.

Me: “Lovely, that’s my girl. Give him the phone”. (She handed it over to him). “Thank you once again sir, God bless you real good. Now I know that police is our friend”. (I told him laughing).

Police: “Thank you madam also for being a good citizen, and thank you for the money you gifted us once again”.

Me: “God bless you sir, please take her to a good hotel and ensure she’s safe. I’ll send something to you again for your efforts, and feel free to call me anytime you need any assistance. I am really grateful to you and your men”.

Police: “God bless you ma, I am indeed grateful. Your sister will be safe I can assure you”. (He said and we ended the call).

God is a master planner, He works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. He didn’t allow my husband come back to the house that night. Else I would not have been so free as I was speaking with the policeman and Vera.

I stayed awake the rest of the night, signing songs of praise to God. Thanking Him for showing Himself so mightily to sinners like me and Vera, it was that night I repented totally of all my sins”.

My husband returned the next morning and told me he would be travelling with Jude to the village for Vera’s introduction. I smiled, knowing they would be embarking on a fruitless journey.

He hurriedly pick up few things and seemed not in the mood to talk to me, I greeted him and he answered mildly.

Me: “Baby, is everything alright?

Husband: “Yes dear, Jude will be returning to Canada in few days time. We’re travelling to Vera’s village for introduction and other marriage rites”.

Me: “And you’re just telling me. You didn’t even come back last night, neither did you call to tell me why you won’t be home”.

Husband: “I’m so sorry dear, I will make you understand when I come back”. (He said and hurriedly left the house).

Vera called me shortly after my husband had left with the new line(s) she bought, then I told her to destroy the old sim cards when she must have taken all important numbers from them. I also told her my husband and her husband to be were on their way to her village.

Vera: “How would my father handle them in my absence?” (She asked a very vital question).

Me: “Stay calm, I’ll get back to you soon”. (I told her, knowing that my guardian angel will whisper to me what best to tell her).
