The Priest Vow

Episode 17

I drove back home and and continued with my quiet time.

I still resume at the grocery store and had my meeting place at the coffee shop.
I stayed home praying for the rest of my free hours for Gumi precisely.

He was a difficult person, in action and appearance more than I can explain in words.
I was neither afraid or worried because the heart of all men is in God’s hand.
I was only curious to know why we share resemblance.

I prayed and did not cease, asking God to unravel the puzzle for me.
I was back to the prison alone this time.
I signed in and waited for Gumi but he refused to come out.

I sat, waiting but Gumi did not come out.
I left that day and returned again another day but it was same thing.

I came the third time and decided to wait until he comes out.

I got tired of waiting and stood up to leave
On my way out the search officer said to me
“You have to stop wasting your time coming here to see Gumi. He gat no business with a fresh looking and a soft talker like you. He obviously doesn’t want to have anything to do with you…give it up man and focus on other things. Gumi may never want to see you. I guess he doesn’t want a family or anybody visiting him. He is a lone cone man not the type you will want to come and see often and on. give it up and stop wasting your time with a man like Gumi. Is an advice man and it will do you lots of good.

I quietly nodded and said
“Thanks officer.
I walked out and returned again after two days.

The officer on seeing me began to shake his head pathetically.
” James White you are back again? You don’t want to give up??
I smile in response before signing in.
I went to sit as usual to wait for Gumi.
I wasn’t going to give up because of his harden heart or refusal to see me.
What seem impossible with men is never with God. For with God all things are possible.
I will come everyday and sit and wait until Gumi decide to see me.
If he wasn’t part of God’s plan to be saved I wouldn’t have met him.
I believe the purpose of meeting Anna is to also meet Gumi.

Gumi is not too difficult for God to handle.
At the right time he will come around.
I bowed my head, held my two hands together and prayed to God, the yoke breaker, the only one who melt the heart of men. I prayed in silent without my mouth moving but with my eyes shut.
I prayed because Gumi may appear difficult but not to God.
I have even lost count of my visit here yet I wasn’t ready to give up on it.
“What in hell do you want from me?
I was startled out of my quiet prayer by the strong voice.

I looked up and it was Gumi standing and looking down on me with a very mean face
“Only to talk.
I replied quietly.
” I don’t have anything to talk with you. I gat better things to do rather than talk. Relaxing, exercising or sleeping in my cell is far better than sitting here and talking thrash with you. Is high time I tell the officer to stop letting you in here. I don’t have your time. I’m sure there is a whole lot of people in your Church who will appreciate the petty talk. Don’t come here looking for me or I will be forced to punch you hard on the face and disfigure this your fine fresh boy skin. I’m not one of your church members get that into your empty skull. Scumbag… and get the hell out of here.
