The Complete Woman Episode 18

Sunday finally came and I was excited. Its the first time I’d be going to church with my husband. I was singing joyfully as I hurriedly got things ready. When I finished dressing I went to the sitting room to see if my husband was ready. Surprisingly he was there sitting and watching TV

Me: Honey, you are not ready?

He kept quiet.

Me: Honey I am talking to you, why ain’t you ready, dont you want to go to church?

Isaiah: No I dont,

Me: Honey dont say that, why won’t you go to church. Please go and get dressed am waiting for you.

Isaiah: Honey, honestly i dont want to go to that church again please.

Me: Baby , (I said rubbing his head) let’s go today, just today and I promise you that after the service if you still feel like this, then we will stop.

Isaiah: no no

Me: Baby please (I said in the most loving way ever, knowing fully well that he can’t say no to me) Baby please….. (I bent and gave him a kiss on his lips)

Isaiah was not ready to go to church but for my sake he got ready and reluctantly followed.

The service was beautiful, once in a while I took a glance at my husband and I caught him severally smiling as papa blasted on the topic ”LOVE”.

At the end of the service, different members of the choir came to shake hands with us. I saw sister Marvis walking up to shake hands too but I quickly blocked her way.

Me: what do you want?

Marvis: I only wanted to welcome you guys back to church.

I looked at her and imagined what could have given her such guts to be able to approach me

Me: sister Marvis, thank u so much for welcoming us back to church. You can now go.

Marvis: Let me at least shake hands with brother Isaiah.

The way she said the brother Isaiah drew out all the anger in me and I felt like tearing her to pieces. But I remembered what mummy taught me that sometimes silence is the best punishment to offer. And so I kept silent, but my looks said it all, and sister Marvis turned and walked away, raising her hands in surrender!

I was filled with anger as I watched sister Marvis walking away, I wanted to run to her and tear her into pieces but I couldn’t. I turned to find my husband so we can go home, but I met him talking with papa and mama sobi sat and waited for him.

Sister Sophia my only friend in the church walked up to me, since she encouraged me to accept Isaiah as my husband I have learnt to respect her specially. She was holding some tom tom in her hands and she offered me some before sitting with me.

Sophia: Dani my friend am so happy you are back to church. I really missed you.

Me: thank you Sophia, I missed you too.

Sophia: Gist me girl (she giggles) how was the honeymoon?

Me: (smiling) what is there to gist? Nothing to gist jare.

Sophia: Nor do o, gist me jare.

Me: Don’t worry, I will gist you, but not today.

Sophia: promise?

Me: I promise

I stood up because my husband was already signalling me to come. I quickly hugged Sophia and told her bye. Then I ran to my husband and together we told mama and papa bye.

Isaiah took the only tom tom left of the 4 I collected from Sophia, and then he asked me if I saw Marvis .

Me: (shocked) why? Did I come to church to look for Marvis?

Isaiah: hey! Easy babe, am just asking

Me: you just wanna spoil my mood

Isaiah: its okay babe, its OK. Am not saying anything again.

Me: please dont say. Let’s just go home in peace.

And the rest of the journey was silent.

Episode 20.

That evening, I asked Isaiah if he still felt like leaving the church.

Isaiah: With a message like that? No way, I am going no where.

I bursted out laughing

Me: but I told you so.

And just then his phone rang, I sat up to listen. Ever since my wedding night incident I get alert whenever I hear his phone ring.

Isaiah: Hello, yes, you are onto Isaiah, who is this please? Really? (He was smiling) okay! No problem. I’d be there.

At the sound of I’d be there my mood and expression changed.

Me: Honey who was that?

Isaiah: Babe God is good.

Me: All the time, but what is it?

Isaiah: Our music was shortlisted among the 10best gospel songs for 2018. And we have to join the competition to win a grand award of 10million naira and a chance to record abroad with popular gospel artist TRAVIS GREENE!

Me: oh my God! (I started jumping and shouting, and then I noticed he was putting on his trousers and shirt. I quickly stopped) Babes, are you going out?

Isaiah: yes but not far! Just our junction here. I need to rush out to pick the letter of our short listing.

Me: Bu bu bu…..

Isaiah felt the fear in my voice and then he placed his hands on my shoulders.

Isaiah: Dow worry babe. I will be back before you know it.

Me: But can’t I go with you?

Isaiah: sweetie, relax, I will be back soon okay!

I nodded sadly, I was scared again. I watched as he walked away and only one prayer was in my heart.

”Lord bring him home safely to me”
