MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 61
Written By Ayo Omolayo
CHRISTIANA’S POV
I arrived at the gate and beeped my car horn. The gate opened but it wasn’t Silas who opened it.
I felt depressed on the spot. I was looking forward to seeing him. I sighed and was about to ask the gateman about Silas when daddy stopped me.
“HE’S WAITING FOR YOU!” He said.
I smiled and drove into the parking lot. These days I discovered I had gotten into another realm in my walk with God. I noticed that God could tell me things before they happened. He would just gist me and tell me this person is coming. Before I start arguing how impossible it would be for that person to come, the person appears.
Sometimes we would be gisting and he’ll tell me so so would call me. It won’t be long before my phone would start ringing.
I don’t know what this realm is called ooo. Can someone please help me explain to me what I’m experiencing?
I took the elevator. My heart was pounding heavily within me. Finally I was going to submit under a man. Hmmmmm! Not just any man. A man I once ordered around as a boss. Now, he’ll be the one to order me as my spiritual head.
I cannot take decisions on my own, travel the way I like or spend my money without his permission. Hmmmmm! The submissive wife. A part of me panicked. I was about to go into a relationship again. This would be my second relationship and my first as a Christian.
“God please be with me. I don’t know how to do it and I’m not the leader in this relationship. Please give me wisdom to handle everything and be a submissive and humble wife”, I prayed in whispers.
I stepped out of the elevator and saw Silas sitting at the reception outside my office.
I almost wanted to run back into the elevator and hide myself.
“Father please help me! This is my first Christian relationship. Please help me do it right!” I prayed as I took slow steps to meet Silas.
He stood up immediately he saw me and smiled.
I lowered my eyes and bent my knees slightly. How does a submissive wife greet her husband?
“Good morning sir!” I said.
“Morning sister Christiana! How are you?”
“I’m fine sir!” I replied, still struggling with looking at him eye ball to eye ball.
He was smiling and I wasn’t sure why he was. Perhaps he wasn’t over the shock that the CEO of Kolapo production company was now his wife to be. It felt like a dream.
My receptionist came and met us at the door. She greeted me and left Silas because he was on his uniform. No one wants to greet the gateman.
I decided to act as if I didn’t notice and opened my office. We both entered and I quickly asked him to sit down.
I opened the windows and put some things in order. I wanted to sit on my office chair when I felt a restriction on my spirit.
“DON’T SIT ON THE OFFICE CHAIR. IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE BOSS AND HER GATEMAN. HE’S STILL STRUGGLING WITH HIS MINDSET. HE HAS ALWAYS SEEN YOU AS A BOSS. AND THE BEST WAY TO BREAK THAT CONSCIOUSNESS IS FOR YOU TO CONDESCEND TO HIS LEVEL.
USE THE SOFA. THE THREE SEATER SOFA”,
I moved to the sofa and sat down.
“Mr Silas”, I called, instead of the local and usual Oga Silas.
“Ma!” He replied and turned in response.
I almost wanted to reply him not to refer to me as ma, but waved it aside.
“Let’s be seated here”, I said.
He stood up and joined me on the sofa. He sat beside me and said nothing. I felt my heart beating fast within me. I stole glances at him and quickly looked away when he tried to catch me in the act.
Finally, Silas broke the silence. I was so happy he did.
“So you said you would marry me. Right?” He asked.
I paused and stole a look at him. He caught me in the act and chuckled.
I managed a smile.
“Wow! And she’s happy about it?” He asked.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” I replied.
“Wow!” He gasped.
“Don’t forget I’m a gateman oooo!”
I had to look him in the eyes this time.
“Silas, it has nothing to do with who you are. All that matters is who God created you to be. You’re my husband and my God given husband. And can I ask you a question?”
“Aah! My CEO! Please ask your question”, he replied smiling.
“Oga Silas stop that! I’m serious here. You’ll address me as……..as…….as…….”
“As boss right”, he asked.
“As Cris! Just call me Cris or Christiana. Anyone you are okay with”.
“Okay! I’m okay with Christy. It’s strange calling my boss my fiancee. It’s really strange to me”, he said.
“Yeah! But we’ll roll with it”, I replied smiling.
“Okay! So back to your question”, he said.
“Yes, I wanted to ask you. I wanted to ask you to ask you if I could ask you. My goodness! What am I saying?” I asked.
“CEO! No fall my hand oooo!” He said laughing.
God was I feeling shy for him. I don’t understand what was happening to me. But I understood one thing. I was falling in love.
I remembered this happened to me when Chris and I started our relationship.
I remembered how I asked my mentor if it was possible to love the man God gave to you in marriage?
“Cris! That’s not a question. God lives in you and he is love. You don’t have to worry about falling in love. He’ll do that himself. The way you guys would fall in love will look like magic. But in no time, you’ll always want to pick up your phone and call him, just to hear his voice.
Leave the falling in love with each other to God. Infact, you’ll be the one telling him the love is too much. Whenever you accept God’s will for your life. He takes over alot of responsibilities. It’s just like with a father and the son. Whenever the son rebels and tells the father, he doesn’t want what he wants him to do the father withdraws or should I say, like the prodigal son, leaves his father.
What that means is, he’ll be the one paying the bills. Paying for the rent, the food, the clothes, the light bill, because he’s on his own. Soon, he’ll become bankrupt. But when he’s with his father, his father supplies all his needs. All he needs to do is to go and tell Daddy anything you need.
And in most cases, you don’t even tell daddy before he does them for you. He sent you into the relationship. He knows love would be needed there, so he’ll fill your heart with love. He knows humility and submissiveness would be needed in the relationship. He’ll provide all you need. It’s a small case”.
I smiled as I remembered it all. I turned to look at Silas and our eyes met.
He smiled and I returned it. He reached for my hand and took it gently. I made no attempt to resist.
He stood up and took me along with him. This was the first time my gateman was holding my hand. Just the physical touch alone, sent a tingling sensation in my tommy.
“Wow! My husband is holding my hand”, I said within me like a woman that just got married.
He took me along with him and I followed like a good girl I was. I was even surprised at myself. Was this the CEO and her gateman? I was bo longer the CEO here. I was someone’s woman now. I must submit to him in everything. This new status was overwhelming.
When we arrived at the center of the room. He turned and faced me. He held my two hands together and drew closer. My legs shook in excitement as he dipped his hand into his trouser pocket. I knew what was coming and couldn’t wait.
“Christy! There’s no relationship without an official proposal. So I have decided to give you a proper proposal. I knew you would love to be surrounded by cameras and friends. Or probably video the event. I’m sorry I’m giving you something small and less befitting. A woman with so much achievement at the age of 33. Please accept me for who I am”.
“You don’t have to do something elaborate”, I interrupted.
“I don’t need the cameras. To hell with the cameras. I just need God’s will for my life. And as long as he’s standing right before me, I am the woman with the greatest achievement in life”,
He smiled and looked into my eyes.
“Wow! In so glad you understand all these”, he said and the moment I had waited for all my came as he went down on one knee.
“Christy, I have asked your sweet Daddy for his permission and he has given me a go ahead”,
“Wait!” I interrupted.
“How did you know that’s my pet name for God?” I asked.
“Look at you! I have been reading about you in the spirit realm. Your hobbies, your passion, your friends and your current height in the spiritual realm”, he answered.
“So what’s my height in the spiritual realm?” I asked.
“Miss, I’m proposing here!”
“Oh sorry! Continue”, I said smiling.
“Christiana! I want you to know that from the depths of my heart, I love you”.
I looked into his eyes and almost fell on the floor due to the rush of emotions I was getting.
“Wait! How were you able to read my spiritual profile? What are you? A hacker in the realm of the spirit?”
He burst into laughter and I contacted the laugh and started to laugh as well.
“CRIS, I WILL FLOG YOU OOO. YOU’RE USING MY SON TO KNEEL DOWN ABI? YOU WILL NOT ALLOW HIM FINISH HIS PROPOSAL ABI?”
“Daddy you know I’m a very stubborn girl. So allow me to find trouble small. He wouldn’t realize I’m trying to keep him kneeling for long.
“THAT’S A LIE CRIS! I’LL GIVE HIM EXPO. I’LL TELL HIM YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP HIM ON HIS KNEES”,
“Daddy please na! Don’t spoil my play for me!”
“CRIS I DISAGREE!”
“Daddy! Daddy!”
“NO WAY! I’M TELLING HIM”.
“Okay daddy, if you back me up, you’ll earn a kiss from your baby girl!” I replied.
The way the Holy Ghost laughed within me was so joyous that physically, I started laughing.
“Cris why are you laughing?” He asked smiling.
“Don’t worry!” I said admist laughter.
“Okay!” He replied and brought the ring out of the box and took my wrist.
“Will you marry me?”
Somebody help me answer that WAEC question. Any volunteers in the house?
“Mr Silas! I don’t understand what God is doing, but I can’t explain how I feel just having you holding my hand and asking me to be your wife. I feel on top of the world. The happiest woman on earth would be the perfect description. I’m bubbling with joy so much that I feel like I’m going to have explode.
Silas! As I see you, I see my head. The love of my life. The father of my children. And the man I would journey with into my divine calling and destiny.
What are you waiting for? Put that ring in my finger. Yes I will marry you. Yes, I will be the submissive wife. I will be the wife who would submit to you in everything. I will be that would God has broken and furnished abd present to you.
I will marry you”, I said.
“THAT’S MY GIRL”, Came the gentle whisper.
“Thanks daddy”,
“DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE CAMERA AND THE CROWD. THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN AND MY VERY SELF ARE HERE CLAPPING”, He said.
“Daddy! So you have time to attend the proposal of this rebel Cris and her gateman”,
“I ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR MY BABY GIRL!”
I felt like the ground should open and swallow me. This love dey make my head kolo.
To be continued……
