Episode 27
âHe works in way, we cannot see, he will make a way for us, he will be our guide, holds us closely to his side, with love and strength for each new dayâŠâ he started singing again, sonorously as he stood up
What an elegant height!
I surrender to you Lord.
âLetâs go home sonâ I said and he smiled widely as I held his hands warmly
I felt like he was a part of me that had been long lost.
I felt like he was just a part of me
God will take care of us.
He will!
As I held my baby in my arms, I pecked his small face and he smiled
âI name him Daniel. My Danielâ Daniel said and I laughed
âYes Daniel!â I agreed as I smiled again
As we were set to leave, I placed Danielâs hand in Doctor Floraâs hand and she looked into my face, giving me a shy look
âWhat?â I asked and she looked away
I was confused
âIs she a doctor?â Daniel asked and I smiled, looking awe
âYes she isâ I replied
Flora smiled
âAre you from America?â she asked and he nodded
âYes. You know me?â he asked
âDaniel Williams right?â she asked again and I looked into Danielâs face.
He looked perplexed
âYes thatâs my name. You know me?â he asked again
Doctor Flora shrugged
âSomehow. But the last time I knew about you, you could see. What happened to your sight?â she asked and I gave her âYou shouldnât have asked jareâ look
âYou know me?â that was what he asked again
She smiled
âIt seems so. But weâve got to do something about your sight first. Madam, go home and let me meet with certain optician friends in Abuja. This has to be attended tooâ she said, left his hand and walked out of the church hurriedly
I was dazed
âHave you been to Nigeria before?â I asked him and he shook his head
âGod is greatâ Pastor said and that was when I realized that he was still standing with us.
I looked into his face and he was grinning happily
Was there something I didnât know about?
âIs her name Flora?â Daniel asked again and I could only nod
How did he know?
âYou know her from somewhere?â I asked
He shook his head
âI just guessedâ he shrugged
âLetâs go home boyâ the pastor said as he held his hand, looking so excited
I followed behind foolishly and wondered what everything was all about
âThe Lord is just too great. Miracles falling upon miracles, all in a day!â he exclaimed happily
âHalleluyah!â Daniel said too
I became jealous
âI thought he said I was his motherâ I whispered to myself
âI love you mumâ he grinned
I gasped
I had totally forgotten that I had a mind reader beside me
It sU-Cks!
âŠ.but in a cool way!
I smiled

I opened the freezer and my heart jumped into my mouth
âOluwa oooâ I exclaimed and my husband jumped in
âWhatâs it?â he asked and I stood with my arms akimbo
âJare, I placed four cartons of fish here yesterday so the caterers would work with them today but now itâs three I can find in here. Oh my God!â I exclaimed loudly and my husband smiled as he clapped his hands together in a mocking manner
âOlolufe mi, donât kill yourself with hypertension oâ he said and I became infuriated
âDo you know how much the fish costs? The fish are not the Nigerian type. They are shipped in from Brazilâ I explained on and Adejare looked on in awe
âMadam Story! Were you not the one that asked me to take a carton out so I could boil and grind for you to make Moin-moin this morning?â he asked and I opened my eyes wide
I had totally forgotten
âSorryâ I said, smiling sheepishly
He brushed my nose with the tip of his index finger
I was tickled
âYou are already growing oldâ he said and I smiled
âThen you are growing olderâ I said
âReally!â
âReally!â I replied
âWell, the older we go together, the greater our love would beâ he said and I looked into his face amazingly
This obviously couldnât be my husband
âAmenâ I said slowly and he pulled me closer to himself
He planted a kiss on my forehead
âI thank God for your life. This past one year have really been like a honeymoon to meâ he said and I smiled great peace in my soul.
âGlory to God alone. If not God, who could it be?â I asked
Daniel ran inside and came directly to me.
He tugged at my wrapper and I picked him up.
âMamma mammaâŠâ he repeated as he pulled at my blouse
âsU-Ckie sU-Ckieâ I played with his mouth
My husband shook his head as he twisted his mouth to a side
âThis old man isnât even shy to start sU-Cking⊠zame on youâ he joked and we laughed about it as my baby boy feasted on his fleshy food while my husband looked away shyly
âNa you sabiâ I said, smiling as I backed him
I heard some clapping and the curtain was drawn
It was Doctor Flora
âAmairiya!â we echoed together as she entered, beautifully clad in very nice traditional attire
She blushed and covered her face
âI go love oâŠsee my old papa and mama playing love here oooâ
