MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 63
By Ayo Omolayo
“I’m sorry girls! My fiancee didn’t allow me leave the pho……”
“Don’t say it! Your gateman said you should not give us money, right?” Maggie asked.
“No!” I smiled.
“Cris, I expected you to be wiser than this!”
“That’s true!” I said still smiling.
“So it has gotten to this level abi?” Maggie asked.
“What level?”
“I wonder oooo!” Bunmi exclaimed.
“Cris you’re smarter than this. Why have you allowed your gateman to use diabolical powers on you?”
“Oh! That?” I giggled.
“I was only joking. He didn’t use diabolical powers on me. I only got crazy out of love. I mean I’m not crazy but kind of crazy in a metaphoric sense. I mean to say I m crazy but not really crazy as in crazy. I only mean I’m crazy in a crazy way that’s not crazy. I was only using the word crazy to describe I’m not crazy but at the same time crazy but in reality not crazy. Do you understand?”
Both ladies stared at me and shook their heads.
“Why do I always speak nonsense whenever I fall in love?”
Soon the door opened and a man walked in.
“I’m doctor Francis, from Magnificent psychiatric hospital”,
“Jesus is Lord!” I said and stood up.
“Maggie! What’s the meaning of this?” I snapped.
“The meaning of what?” She asked.
“Oh my goodness!” I said and picked up my phone in a hurry. I made to get out of the office as quickly as possible.
“Is that the patient?” The doctor asked.
” Yes! That’s her!”
He quickly blocked me and snapped his fingers. Two hefty looking men entered the office.
“I can’t believe this!” I turned to look at Maggie.
“Sir, I recorded everything. Her conversation with the gateman of this company. She has completely lost her senses”.
Anger boiled inside me. I made to rush at Maggie and give her the beating of a lifetime, but one of the men grabbed me.
“CRIS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHY ARE YOU BEHAVING AS IF I’M NOT HERE?”
“I can’t believe Maggie would do this to me. She knows I’m not insane. She’s only trying to embarrass me in whatever way she can”, I replied.
“AND THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION IS BY GOING INTO A FIST BATTLE WITH HER? AREN’T YOU THE ONE WHO SAID YOU WANTED ME TO HIT YOU WITH HAMMER? JUST ONE HIT AND YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT THE WEAPONS OF YOUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL”.
“Oh my goodness! Daddy I’m so sorry!” I said and everyone heard it.
“Is her father here?” Francis asked looking around.
“Her father is late. She has started talking to her late father again. Whenever her insanity starts, she starts talking to invisible persons”, Maggie answered.
“Wow! Her case must be pretty severe”, the doctor exclaimed.
“Young lady”, he turned to me.
“You would have to come with me for check up. You have a mental health history. You must be properly taken care of. Please coperate with my boys so we can end up treating you as a lady. If you don’t, we would have to take you by force or sedate you”.
I wanted to break free out of the man’s grip. These guys do not know how to hold a lady like a lady. They wanted to break my arms and they meant it.
“Daddy please help me!” I said.
“JUST BE CALM AND STOP FIGHTING A PHYSICAL FIGHT. ALLOW ME TO FIGHT THE BATTLE FOR YOU”, Came the gentle whisper.
“I’m so sorry daddy!”
“IT’S ALRIGHT! BUT AS FOR HAMMER. YOU’RE GOING BACK TO THE NORMAL PROCESS. I CAN’T GIVE MY DAUGHTER SOMETHING TOO HEAVY FOR HER TO CARRY. I JUST DECIDED TO TRY YOU JUST A LITTLE AND YOU ALMOST MESSED THINGS UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME YOU ARE CAPABLE. I JUST NEEDED TO PROVE TO YOU THAT GOD KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF.
DON’T THINK YOU PERSUADED ME. I ONLY AGREED SO I COULD PROVE THIS TO YOU. THAT GOD UNDERSTANDS BETTER THAN YOU UNDERSTAND. IS THAT OKAY?”
“Yes sir!” I replied within me.
“NOW, ALL I NEED YOU TO DO IS TO BE CALM AND ANSWER WHATEVER QUESTION THEY ASK? CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME?”
“Yes Daddy!”
“DON’T FALL MY HAND OOO! IF YOU DO NOT BEHAVE YOURSELF TO MY SATISFACTION, YOU’LL FOLLOW THEM BACK TO THE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK THERE?”
“No sir! Please don’t take me there, I’m sorry I asked for too much!”
“CHRISTY! CALM DOWN JARE! JUST FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS AND I’LL GET YOU OUT OF THIS MESS YOU CREATED WITH THAT YOUR BIG MOUTH”, He replied and started laughing.
I smiled, but I made sure no one caught me in the act. If they did, they would use it as a confirmation that I was truly insane.
“Young lady! Would you follow us gently or be taken by force?” Doctor Francis asked.
“I’ll go with you gently”, I said.
He looked at me and I could tell by his looks that he was taken aback by my response.
“What happened to you?”
“I disobeyed God!” I said calmly.
“Why did I say that?” I asked within me.
“CALM DOWN CRIS! FOR IT IS NOT YOU THAT SPEAKS, BUT IT IS THE SPIRIT OF YOUR FATHER SPEAKING THROUGH YOU”.
“I’m sorry sir!”
“IT’S ALRIGHT MY BABY GIRL THAT WANTS ME TO HAMMER HER ON THE HEAD”,
“Daddy stop teasing me”, I’m not in the mood for anything laughter”, I replied struggling to hold my breath from laughing.
“YOU DEY VEX FOR ME?”
“No ooo! How I go vex for my sweet Daddy. Impossible!” I replied and smiled this time.
“You disobeyed God?”
“Yes! And one thing that happens to a Christian whenever he or she disobeys God is that the enemy gains access to anything in that person’s life. I fought against the will of God for my life and I didn’t know the danger in what I did.
Doctor Francis! When we asked Jesus to come into our lives, we ask him to become two things to us’.
By now, the man holding my hands had released me.
“Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Come and be my Lord and personal saviour. Am I correct?” I asked the doctor.
“Yes!” He answered, looking at me as if I was an angel.
“But we don’t know that we asked him to be our Lord. Lord is another name for boss. The moment you asked Jesus to come into your life, you asked for a new boss.
But the problem with what I was doing was this. I had a new boss, but I was still loyal to another boss. I was a worker in a new company, but I was still running errands for my former company. And while I was doing all these, I told everyone that I was working in a new company.
I still took orders from Lucifer, but claimed I was loyal to God. I continued living this way, until the management could not keep up with it. They decided to punish me. They siezed my salary and cut off my allowances.
That’s exactly what happened to me. A part of my punishment was my mental history. But all to the glory of God, I acknowledged my sins and repented.
God forgave me and I was completely healed and restored. I mean I was healed without the help of a psychiatric doctor”, I said.
“Wow! That’s the most wonderful thing I’ve ever heard. Do you mean Jesus can cure insanity?” He asked.
“Yes he can!” I replied all smiles.
“Doctor! This is your patient. Take her with you and cure her insanity!” Maggie said.
“So why was I called by this lady to come and treat you?”
“She assumed I wasn’t healed. She found my story difficult to believe”, I answered.
“Oh! I’m really sorry about that Miss….. Miss….”
“Kolapo! Miss Christiana Kolapo”, I replied.
“Thank you!”
“You’re welcome”.
“Miss Kolapo! I may have met you for the first time, but everything you have said is a pure description of my life. Please I have to head back to work right now. Can I schedule a meeting with you whenever you’re free”, he asked.
“Doctor!” Maggie called.
“Please don’t interrupt me. I’m in the middle of a conversation with a woman of God”, he replied Maggie.
I almost burst into laughter.
“God is this how sweet the battle becomes when you fight for your children?”
“SHEYBI YOU GET BIG MUSCLE? GO AND PUNCH MAGGIE NA! IYA BOXER!”
I chuckled.
“Daddy! I was such an idiot. I forgot the weapons of my warfare are not physical. And my enemies are not the physical enemies,but spiritual. I allowed my emotions to overpower me”, I said within me.
“GOOD, SO DO YOU STILL WANT ME TO HAMMER YOU?”
“Yes sir!” I teased.
“SEE YOUR MOUTH LIKE YES SIR!”
I giggled in response as I waved the doctor goodbye.
Bunmi and Maggie had already left the office before the doctor. I thought they said they needed money na. Why dem run?
No wonder God was speaking through my handsome Silas not to give them the money and I was begging on their behalf. I wish I knew this was what they were going to do to me, I wouldn’t have wasted energy begging for them.
My phone rang and I quickly rushed to pick it up. I smiled sheepishly as I saw who was calling. It’s love of my life oooo! I was already dancing to myself as I picked the call.
“Hello my handsome Silas! The love of my life!”
“Hi pretty Christy! The lady that stole my heart”, he replied.
“So are you calling me a thief?” I asked all smiles.
“You’re the best thief in the world. You stole my heart and you were captured for your crime. In order for justice to be served, you were sentenced to life imprisonment, in the prison of love. You were sentenced to a life imprisonment of loving me for the rest of your life”.
Oh my goodness! This my handsome Silas will not kill me ooo! See as I just dey smile anyhow. Na wa oooo!
“Charming! I have gist for you ooo”,
“Me too get gist for you. You won’t believe what happened to me just now”.
My heart almost flew out of my chest. Thank God my ribs held it back in it’s place.
“What happened to you?” I asked.
“Maggie met me here and almost slapped me. She said I had the guts to tell you not to give her money. She said she was coming to deal with me”.
“What is wrong with that girl sef? I feel like…. I feel like…”
“It’s okay dear! She’s in God’s hands. He will handle her for us. I only wanted to confirm if you have given her the money. I told her I told you to give them the money and she called me a liar for saying that.
She said I should ask you for confirmation. I know you have given it to them so I won’t border asking you.
So what’s the gist you have for me?”
I wanted to flow with him. I wanted to give it to them but they left my office. To be honest, I don’t feel like giving them anything.
“CRIS, TELL HIM THE TRUTH. IN RELATIONSHIP, YOU MUST MAKE YOUR FIANCEE TRUST YOU COMPLETELY. TELL HIM YOU HAVE NOT SENT THE MONEY”, Cane the gentle whisper.
“Christy girl! Are you there?”
“Yes love! Please I have something to tell you. I know you trust me and I would always want it to remain that way. I’m sorry I made you sound like a liar in front of Maggie. It was all my fault. I didn’t send them the money. Please forgive me charming”.
“Why?” He asked.
I narrated everything that happened. How they called a psychiatric doctor while I was on the phone with him. How they recorded my conversation with him as evidence of my insanity.
“To be honest! I think you were right when you said you didn’t want me giving them the money. I’m glad I didn’t give it to them”, I said smiling.
“It’s alright Christy! But you’ll have to send them the money. We don’t pay evil for evil as Christians. Rather, we pay evil with good”, he replied.
For the first time, I felt like telling my fiancee no. But I knew it was wrong. What he was saying was the truth. We cannot pay Maggie back in her own coin. As Christians, we must let the light of God in us to shine. We must not allow the darkness of sinners and godless men to becloud our light.
“THE SUBMISSIVE WIFE”, Daddy whispered in my ears.
I smiled as I realized this was all part of God moulding me into the kind of wife I wanted to be.
“Yes sir! I’ll do that right now”, I said as I logged into my bank app on my second phone.
To be continued…….
Please who else wants God to use hammer on her?
??????
Any volunteers?
Why is nobody raising their hands na?
??????
You people should tell Maggie to behave herself oooo.
Na so den for carry our Christy go psychiatric hospital again.
As believers, do you pay evil for evil? When the people who wronged you fall into a situation where they need your help, what do you do?
Do you tell them, “Remember what you did to me the other day!”
We are called to love unconditionally. Many of us have lost track of that and only love those that love us and hate those that hate us.
It’s time to show the world the love of God in us. The unconditional love.
