My God When - S01 E25

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 25

“Mummy, I met a man some months ago. He told me he was interested in me. I loved him at first sight but, I was very careful not to tamper with my heart.” I said.

“Tell me more, dear.” Mummy said as I continued.

He told me how God made him to understand that we were meant for each other. He told me he loves me. He said he wants me to be his wife and mother of his children.

The word “children” made my heart to skip. I kept quiet but, battling with thousands of thoughts coming to my mind. I was still deeply lost in thought when he asked if I would marry him.

I asked him to repeat what he said. He did. I didn’t know when I asked him if he could marry a woman without womb. He told me “yes”. I was happy.

I didn’t know what made him to ask me a question, further. He asked if I wasn’t having a womb. I didn’t know what to answer him. I just told him “not really” . I told him I was just asking, to test his love for me.

He told me how much he loved me. He asked if I could marry him.

He was expecting me to say “yes” immediately.

I told him I would pray about it.

Mummy, I prayed about it but, I didn’t hear anything. God didn’t tell me anything.

We continued as friends. He kept on mounting pressure on me to give him an answer. I knew giving him a negative response would tamper his emotion because he really believed I was meant for him.

One day, I told him about my dreams and aspirations. I told him everything because I wanted to know his mind.

I just don’t want to settle for any man that isn’t interested in my future. I don’t want to settle with a dream killer.

I know who God says I am. I know I am going to be a great woman. So, settling with a man who isn’t interested in my greatness is out of it.” I said as I drank a cup of water.

” That is it ooo, my daughter. ” My mentor said as I continued.

So, along the line, I realized that he was a purposeless man. I realized that the two of us can’t work in the same direction. He doesn’t believe in what I believe.

When I realized that he wasn’t going to be of help to me, I told God to have his way.

He called me one day and asked me to report to our usual place of meeting in the afternoon.

I tried explaining to him to tell him I wouldn’t be able to make it to our meeting place at that time. He didn’t allow me to finish my explanation when he ended the call.

I felt bad. He wasn’t ready to listen to my plight. He believed he had the final say over me. He had forgotten that I was human. I just couldn’t make it there at that speculated time due to my work.

On getting to that place, mummy, he was waiting for me. He had been waiting for me, close to an hour. It wasn’t as if I didn’t explain to him when he called me that morning.

I haven’t dropped my bag on the table when he stood up and asked why I decided to disobey him. It was obviously written on his face that he was angry with me.

As I was trying to explain myself, he gave me a dirty slap. Not only that, he called me all sort of names.

I couldn’t bear it. I wept. What actually made me to weep was the fact that I have been through a lot especially in my relationships. It’s been hard locating my Mr. Right.

I placed my hand on my cheek. It hurts. It was a very painful incidence that I will never forget. I managed to sit. I kept quiet.

He didn’t know when he began to beg me. He prostrated but, I was not moved.

Deep within me, I knew it was over. He begged me but, all fell on deaf ears.

He told me to forgive him. He made me to know that anger had been one of his weak points.

I acted as if I was deaf and dumb. My silence was killing him. He became confused. He stood up, looked at me and took his leave.

Immediately he left, I couldn’t help but shed another round of tears.

“My God, when? When will my man come around. At 36! All my friends are married. My parents are frustrated. My dad isn’t interested in my so called” will of God.” He just wanted me to settle. Mum was becoming impatient. My God, when? When will he come around? When will I have children? My God when??????” I said.

“Dear very soon.” My mentor said.

“Yes, mummy, I believe God. That reminds me, I received a text message from Darasimi.” I said.

“Tell me more.” My mentor said.

Mummy, Daniel is….
