SISTER ESTHER (1)

I jumped up from the bed when my mum asked that question. I was surprised how she knew.

“Did she call you?” I asked her.

“Nobody of such called me” she said

“Ehm….did…did..did she come here?” I asked again stammering.

“David, what’s your problem? Nobody came here bearing that name” she said.

“Hmmmmm….how did you know her then?” I asked her curiously.

“I was praying for you, especially concerning your future” she said

“I heard a voice saying I should ask you who is Esther Michael” she said and kept quiet.

I hesitated a little, but eventually told her everything that happened, from the vision to the failed proposal.

She was very patient with me and allowed me to finish my explanation, after which she prayed for me.

“I don’t know where she is now or how she’s faring” I said after her prayers.

“My son, when God wants to connect a man to his purpose or partner, He navigates the route of the man’s destiny to that path or junction by which he(the man) can meet his purpose or partner. Remember Joseph!” She said and encouraged me to have faith.

“I have this strong witness in my spirit that she’s not far from you right now. I don’t know, but something tells me she is very very close.” She said.

I believed her. My mum is another kind of woman. Whenever she say a thing like that, you better believe her or you end in a mess. That was exactly what actually happened to my dad. He was warned by my mum not to travel on a particular day. He felt she’s been too fanatical.

My mum begged him to postpone the journey but he refused. When he went out, she just called me and my younger sister. We knelt down to pray. She started to cry. We thought she was expressing her emotions towards God, but she told us that dad won’t make it home again.

Indeed, it was true. He had a terrible accident. His body could not be traced as he was burnt beyond recognition in the accident.

From that day, I used to respect her prophecies and decision. It was through her I entered the school where I met Esther. I had initially chosen a university in the East, but she said I have no destiny to fulfil there, and that I should pick a school in the Southern part of the country. That was what brought me to the South.

So, when she told me that Esther was very close, I have no choice than to believe her.

That morning, I went to work. After the assembly, the students went to their various classes.

I was the form teacher of S.S. 2 (science) class as well their Chemistry teacher. I love my students and flow with them easily.

Sometimes, I do visit them at home to check up on them, thus, I became quite a family friend to some of them.

A new pupil was admitted into my class. Her name was Emily Michael. She was quite an intelligent student. Sometimes, we do discuss about different things ranging from Sciences to other subjects matters.

She’ll asked me about life on Campus. I’ll tell her all she needs to know.

There was a day she said, her sister always tells her about how people live on campus and others stuff about campus life. I didn’t bother to ask about who this her sister was.

One day, while doing my normal roll call, I discovered Emily was not in school. I was very much bothered and concern.

I was on my suit, tie and shoe (I know you won’t forget that it was the same attire I put on for that failed proposal). I decided to look quite official that day.

So, when I discovered Emily was not in school, I asked and was told she took ill and couldn’t come to school because of the illness.

“This girl has never missed school before. I must pay her a visit after school today” I said to myself.

After school, I and a particular student went to visit Emily. I didn’t know her house, but the girl I carried alongside with me was able to help me with the location before she went to her own house.

The place was a beautiful mansion with a wonderfully designed gate. I was awe-strickened by the site as I stood for some seconds in admiration.

“Money is good oooo…… Chai….you mean this place belong to somebody” I exclaimed as I tried to press the door bell located at the entrance.

A male voice answered me from inside.

“Na who be that?” The man said with a deep voice in pidgin English.

“It’s me, David. I’m Emily’s teacher. I came to see her. I was told she was sick” I said in a comfortable tone.

“Ah…. na my madam sister ooo.” He said as he opened the smaller gate for me.

“But….. she and her mama just comot now now go hospital. Them go soon come back, the hospital nor far” he said as I entered the compound.

“Chineke…..” I exclaimed as I raised my hands on my head. “This is another paradise on Earth oooo” I said as I admire the beauty and glamour of the compound.

I heard a lady’s voice from the house.

“Akpos who are you talking to at the gate” she asked the gateman.

“Na Emily teacher. He say he come see Emily say because he hear say she nor well” the gateman answered her.

I kept quiet.

“That voice…..” I said to myself.

As she came to know the person the gateman was talking to,

“Lord, have mercy!” I shouted……

Who did I see????
