PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 23 . The following morning, I was a woman on a mission. I had to secure all my property although I was blank on what to do. The first thought that crossed my mind was to approach lawyers. Thanks to my love for reading, I had learnt a lot through books . A google search helped me find a number of lawyers within Lagos,Abuja...and I picked on the most recommended. My account had some money which I used partly to pay the lawyers. After much discussion the lawyers helped me secure my title deeds with the bank and now I had to inspect the property. I missed Joseph so much but my life needed a lot of organisation. I just couldn’t run after him with so much at stake and I still had no idea when my uncle would be a free man. The sooner I sorted my life out the better. ###############$ When I arrived at the mansion, the first person I saw was the security officer Mr. Simeon who had been so good to me when I lived there. “Mr Simeon!!!.. You’re around?” I screamed as a taxi dropped me at the gate. “Susan!!!!! ” Mr Simeon shouted as he ran to me. “Am so happy to see you Mr. Simeon” I said as we shook hands. A lot of thoughts went through my head and I remembered all that I went thorough, the memories were so clear. “So happy to see you too dear” he said. “my dear a lot has happened” he started. “Please Mr. Simeon don’t. I heard it all. I’m just relieved that it is all over” I said. “Yes my dear its all over. That man is really good… He has saved you. He actually paid me to stay when everyone left..” He said. I knew he was referring to dads friend. ” You look like you’ve not been doing bad at all, how is everything with you? He asked. ” I will tell you everything first let’s have a tour of the house.” I said. Mr Simeon and I talked as we went round the mansion, thank God it was still under perfect condition and ready to be occupied. The next move I had to make was to check on the 3 flats, they too were well maintained so I did not have work to do. The flats were all occupied so I had to get a pass to view them. That same week i scheduled a meeting with the tenants and they signed fresh agreements. The cheque I received from aunty Becky successfully cleared and i used the money to purchase a good second hand car just to help me run around and I occupied a small flat. The lawyers had initially advised me to get a good agent for all my property and the agents would help me find good tenants. Since the mansion was still empty I needed someone there but I knew they may let Mr. Simeon go. He had worked for us for a long time and I just couldn’t stand the thought of him being on the streets. Mr. Simeon still needed his job so part of the tenancy agreement on the mansion was that security would be provided, the tenants just had to pay. This went great and I decided to do the same for the flats. Since Mr. Simeon was very trust worthy, I removed him from the position of security guard and promoted him to be in charge of the security company. He now had 8 security guards under him and we eventually added maintenance workers under the security company. With the help of Mr. Simeon I managed to find the maids who worked for the mansion and I paid them settlement to start there lives afresh. It had been 2 months and I still hadn’t managed to visit the Harrison's Family, but I had now fully healed from my past, everything to do with my property was in place and I was ready to visit the Harrison house. The morning of my visit was really scary, I didn’t know if I would be welcomed or chased. I just had no idea. ################ As I parked at the gate of the Harrison residents my heart skipped. “God I have to do this” I said to myself. I knew I had spent too much time but I needed to heal and reflect as I put my life in order. I didn’t want to jump from one mess into another. I still didn’t hoot but instead I started talking to myself. “OK Susan you’ll be OK. Just apologise and everything else will fall into place. Oh no! What if he’s taken! .. Jesus I just can’t stand all these thoughts!” I hit the steering to clear my thoughts but ended up hooting accidentally and the gate opened. “Oh my God here we are” I said to myself as the gate slid open. I couldn’t escape now, it was time to see the Harrison and possibly receive forgiveness. If I turn out lucky, I may even get the love of my life back. |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 24 . “Yes madam how can I help you?” The gate man asked as I pulled over. He was new and It was my first time seeing him. “Halo.. I would like to see the Harrison's” I said. “Oh sorry madam they moved out” the man said. “Moved out? When and how?.. Any details about their whereabouts?” I asked. “No unfortunately Madam I have absolutely no idea” he said. I wasn’t sure if the house belonged to the Harrison's, so I asked to see the people occupying the house. I truly hoped it belonged to the Harrison's then they would definitely know and assist me After knocking, a fine looking lady stepped out and she introduced herself as Monolisa. “My name is Susan, I am looking for Mr and Mrs Harrison's but I hear they moved out. Would you know their whereabouts?” I asked. “Let me call my sister, she is the owner of the house”. The lady said. A woman came out shortly holding a baby. ” how are you dear? I’m told you want to know about the Harrison's. She said. “Yes madam” I replied. “Unfortunately dear, the Harrison travelled to the United states. They sold us this house” the woman said. “How long ago was that?” I asked. “Almost a year ago, about 11months” she said. I knew Joseph must have remained because I saw him about 4months earlier. But where was he?” I thought. When I drove home I was devastated. How come Joseph did not mention that the Harrison had shifted when I saw him?. It really didn’t make sense. Unfortunately I had lost his number, but why didn’t he ever call me when I had also given him my number. Many thoughts crossed my mind but I refused to make any more conclusions like in the past. I didn’t want to think he had moved on. He had to be there waiting for me somewhere. I didn’t know where he would go in his free time or who he was found with. ################ It had been a week and two days since I visited the Harrison former home. The devastation I had was too much especially knowing that there’s nothing I could do. I searched for him on Facebook and Instagram to no avail. My heart felt pained. I had been pending the book launch for a while until I finally decided to do it. There was nothing I was waiting for. I hoped the book launch would accord me the chance to see him, maybe he would hear about it and decide to show up. I had planned really well for the launch and I made sure a lot off publicity was done. The day of the book launch was amazing with a number of stores showing interest in stocking my book, I managed to schedule a lot of meetings and also got the chance to speak to a lot of people. Media companies showed keen interest in turning the novel in to a movie. Everything seemed promising except the one thing I wanted the most, Joseph. ################ It had been a lonely one month without seeing Joseph, I managed to sign a good contract to create a film out of my novel and I got working on that. It kept me busy as i was ever on set. The director felt there was no better person than myself to play the main character. With so much achievement I still longed for my Joe day in and day out. Nothing and no one could replace him. At least even if i would never be with him all I needed was closure for me to move on. ############## One day as I was leaving the movie set to go home, I saw . I hooted and gave her signs to come to the car park where I was going to park. “Rebecca [Mrs Harrison Maid] how are you?” I asked Rebecca was intimated by my appearance but she equally didn’t look bad. “I’m fine ,I can see a lot has gone right with you, I’m driving too. I just parked somewhere so I could move around” she said. “Oh we thank God for that”. I said “The Harrison's.. How are they?” I asked while pretending like I did not know a thing “You’re not aware?. They left for the States. Daniella equally joined them but Emmanuella is married” she said. “Oh that’s nice…” I responded. I was waiting for her to mention Joseph because if I went ahead and asked she wouldn’t help me. “By the way Joseph and I have been going strong, put us in your prayers I’m sure will soon tie the knot”. She said. ” wow really?.. Awwww am so happy for you” I said as I hugged her. That was a clear sign of hypocrisy, I would never be happy to hear such news. But I knew she was lying, it was funny how even after so long Rebecca viewed me as a threat when it came to Joseph,she even Accuse him of Rape,so I don't believe her... “A lot of good things have happened to me too, I’m actually engaged and will be wedding this month end” I lied. “Really  Wow…” She said in excitement.“Give me your number. You guys should come for lunch at my house.” I said. Quickly a thought crossed my mind and I hoped this plan would work as I bit my tongue “Rebecca, you’ve actually done well ala my battery has drained I need to make a call” I said. “Oh no problem sure you can” she said as she handed me the phone. I pretended to be typing a number when I quickly did a search and I found Joseph number. My mind was quick at mastering and it quickly picked the number. I got my handbag and removed a note pad where I wrote the number and shortly wrote down my number. “Its not going through but here Is it Rebecca you can call me on this line” I said as I handed her the small piece of paper that had my number. “Thanks love will be in touch” she said before walking away. I quickly got my phone and dialed Joseph number, it wasn’t long before the call was picked up. “Joseph on the line who am I speaking to?” The voice said. “Its…..me….. SU.....su....su...Susan” I stammered. “Susan… Where are you?” He asked me. “Are you married?” I asked blankly. “Susan where are you?” He asked again. “Am at central park in town” I replied. “Am 10minutes away… Wait for me right now am coming. He said. I didn’t know whether it was good or bad but I waited patiently and I saw his range Rover pull over. ” I quickly ran to his car as he walked out. His eyes looking very emotional “A friend told me, is it true?” He asked me. “Susan is it true you did not get married” Tears quickly ran down my face as as I looked at him helplessly. “If you have someone already its fine I will understand” I said as I cried. “Oh look at you.. My heart has and will always have one woman. I love you Susan and I have failed to move on.” Joseph hugged me really tight as tears fell down my cheeks. “I never stopped believing Susan, I never did. I knew if its meant to be it would be” he said as he held me tight. I cried so bad and now Joseph also started shedding tears. “My love finally.. Susan my love finally” he said calmly as he rubbed my back See not even California, Paris, Britain or Italy can stop real love.... |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 25 . “Stop crying honey let’s go to my house we need to talk” he said. I wiped my tears and let go of him. Joseph pecked my forehead before escorting me to my car. “Please just drive behind me” he said. Joseph took off and I followed him behind steadily until we reached at a beautiful house. I was amazed but i kept my cool. The house was beautiful inside, he had great choice. The interior decor was superb. “Honey take a sit. Can I get you anything?” He asked me. “Yes … Water…” I said. “OK I will be right back” he said. I sat waiting patiently and he brought water on a tray with some juice and snacks. “This is your house too.. Feel free” he said. Those words got my heart dancing. “Thank you..” I responded. “My sister and her husband moved, I should have mentioned” he said. “Oh… Actually I was wondering why you didn’t mention” I responded. “A lot was going on through my mind at that point… Were do we start from?” He asked. “anywhere am listening..” I said. “Susan I know I was too fast and I may be even now… Please stop me if I start rushing you. I had just never felt so complete, Ruthmary used to drive me crazy and meeting you just felt like an answered prayer” he said. “Talk to me honey…” He said. “I don’t know what to say. I’m just overwhelmed” I responded. “Susan do you believe in the power of love? He asked me. “Why do you ask?” I responded “Do you believe love can make one do crazy things?” He asked. “I do believe in love am just not sure about the riddles” I said “I truly loved you Susan and I still do” he said “I know but I was so scared. I had always been an outcast and here I was being loved by someone like you, it scared me” I said. “Susan you’ve never been an outcast to me, I’ve always loved you. God didn’t see you as an outcast either, that’s why you are now a great writer. ” you know about my book?” I asked in shock “Who doesn’t?.. Its really good” he responded before going to get his copy of my book. “God has been great….. Every step of the way” I said. “Just give me a minute, am coming” he said before getting up again. I was wondering what he was going to get this time Joseph showed up a little while later and he asked me to get up as we would be going somewhere. All attempts to get him to say where we were going failed so I watched him patiently. Joseph had been driving for almost an hour and I still had no idea where we were going. Finally we got to a house where he pulled over. “Let’s go in honey” he said. “What are we doing here?” I asked him. “Honey lets go in” he said again. I slightly opened the door before I changed my mind. “I don’t feel comfortable, please go-ahead” I said “OK I will be back” he said. It wasn’t long before he went in that Emmanuella came out. My heart skipped, I didn’t know what to do as she approached the vehicle. Emmanuella had a child on her back and I figured she was now a mother. How would I explain my running away? Emmanuella came straight to open my door. (Sister in-law let’s go in the house)” she said with a smile. “How are you?” She added. “Am fine…” I responded as I came out of the car. Emmanuella hugged me like a sister and I felt welcome. She didn’t treat me like a maid neither did she act surprised that Joseph had brought me to her. “Its been long… We missed you dearly. You couldn’t even call We only heard about you through Joseph when he complained” she said.“Anyway let’s go inside.. Will talk more.” She said. Before we could make our first step she stopped me and asked if I had a wrapper “No I don’t, “.. I responded. For a moment I wondered why she asked me that. Maybe she didn’t want me to meet her husband dressed in jeans. ” OK here have mine, you know being the first time you are visiting your mother in-law …. ” she said. “Mother in-law? She’s here?” I asked in panic as I quickly tied the Wrapper “Yes dear, this is her home. Wait.. Did he not tell you that you are coming to see her?. I’m just visiting here myself” she said. The look on my face said it all. I was so nervous. “Don’t worry dear, Joseph is crazy how can he scare you like this?” She asked me as we walked. “My aunties are also visiting. But don’t worry my mums family is very nice. Joseph is probably just excited about you meeting mum.. Mum has tirelessly heard about you.. In fact we have have all heard about you tirelessly” Emmanuella said. “I don’t know what to do” I said nervously. “Listen dear when we get to the door just kneel and when we walk a few steps again kneel” she said. “Oh Lord… Can you at least first call Joseph I need to talk to him” I said “Oh come on.. I know those are your nerves talking, just do as I say” she said with an assuring smile I was so upset with Joseph, what a way of welcoming me back into his life. If I did not love him so much I would have slapped him. The very first day and I was already going through such stress of meeting in-laws. Emmanuella and i reached the door and i knelt down with my head facing down. I heard women ululating and money was dropped in front of me, Emmanuella whispered that we had to walk and I got up. We walked a few steps and Emmanuella said we kneel again. I followed the procedure until we got into the living room where she asked me to kneel before the chair and money was put on it before I sat. “Susan water will be brought before you, don’t drink before money is put. And just take a sip” Emmanuella whispered. Just like she said a glass of water was put on a table before me and some money was put on the side. It was then that I took a sip of the water. Some words were uttered basically to welcome me and some praises were said. All this is tradition carried out when a bride to be meets her in-laws. “Dear we can go, don’t kneel just walk slowly outside” Emmanuella whispered. I left the house and straight away got in the car . “You can talk now” Emmanuella said as she burst out laughing. I was still stiff and just smiled. “Your brother is something else” I said with a smile. “He really is, don’t worry I will shout at him on your behalf.” She said. Joseph stepped out of the house counting some money in his hands, obviously the money I made. “Huh baby we are rich he said as he entered the car. I felt like I could slap his face black and blue right there and then. ” if I did not love you so much I would have slapped you” I said. He obviously found it funny because he burst into laughter and Emmanuella laughed too. “If I didn’t know better I would think you are not the Susan I saw in there. You were so humble” he giggled. I gave Emmanuella her wrapper and she invited me to visit her house during the week for lunch which I agreed. “Please let’s go.. I’m starving” i said to Joseph. ” i finally get to spoil my woman, .. What do you want for lunch honey?” He asked. I looked at him with a frown before responding “Coldstone ice-cream!” “By the way let me have my money before you use it” I said. “OK my African queen… Coldstone Ice-cream it is” he said “My money…” I reminded him again. “Pull it from the pocket” he said as he reversed the car. “Ah… Its fine then you can have it” I responded. “You are principled ayi? Your friends would have grabbed it with everything else in the trousers” he giggled. We both burst into laughter before waving at Emmanuella. ” here you go iyawo mi (my wife). You worked for it” he said as he handed me the money. And off we went for our first official date. Yes to have Coldstone Ice-cream on our first official date by a mini restaurant in town. I choose the location and he agreed. The restaurant wasn’t fancy at all but we enjoyed every moment of it as we had Coldstone Ice-cream with barbecue chicken and Grape Fruits. We had both experienced the good life but this was better than it all. Its that simplicity that made it even extra special. “Honey if we are ever broke.. I know I will forever trust you to be by my side” Joseph said as we ate. “In poverty and wealth.. I will certainly be” I said…. What can I say?.. I just love this man |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 26 . God had been amazing the last one month, aside reconciling with my true love I managed to sign a number of contracts for my book and I released the first movie. The Harrison's invited us to visit and Joseph promised that we would travel as soon as he managed to sign off some property. Joseph was in real estate and he was really good at selling houses, even property you would least expect to go. I was so glad that Joseph involved me in his passion and I gladly took part. I would dress smartly to attend the board meetings and would advise him on how to upgrade property in case there was need to. I guess a man needs a woman like that by his side, we didn’t agree on everything but in the end it all worked out. I trusted Joseph so much because he showed me love like no other and in fact I guess that’s why our enemies failed to target him, instead I was the target. ######### Joseph birthday was coming up and I was planning on surprising my right hand man. It was my first opportunity to do something great for him but I had no idea how to do so as Joseph was really smart. It was hard to plan a surprise for him. I managed to get a planner, his name is Raymond , and he came in highly recommended as the best in the business. I was assured of nothing but the best. Raymond and I met after work or during lunch and we would run through the birthday plans. We had no fixed schedule as I was very busy so he worked with my time. Raymond was very jovial and even though I had a hard time understanding him, we got along really well. One evening after work Raymond called me for the final touches and I met up with him at Intercontinental hotel where I planned on having the party. It was the day before the party and he was running me through the final touches. “So madam as I was saying…. the decor will look like that but we are going to add another touch of blue… Like you wanted. Do you like it?” He asked me as we moved around the hall. Raymond came with two other men who helped set up the place just so I could have a clear view. “Yes of course I love it… In fact I want him to be blown away…” I said. As I was taken in the moment, the devil let hell loose and suddenly everything came crushing when Joseph walked in yelling on top of his voice. I couldn’t understand what he was saying as I was shocked. I did not expect him to be there. “Honey what is going on?”.. I asked. “are you sure you want to know what is going on ? Answer me!!!!!” He yelled.I burst into laughter because I really thought it was a joke. “Susan you dare laugh at such a situation ?.. After all we’ve been through to together?” He said as his eyes teared up.“You dare plan a wedding behind my back ?” He said angrily“A wedding?.. No no honey.. Please calm down I’m not sure you now what you saying” I interrupted Raymond was quiet and I thank God because I wasn’t prepared for what would have happened if he spoke a word. Joseph pulled out an envelop from his pocket and removed photos from it. He threw the photos at me and they went scattering in all directions. Every meeting I had with Raymond was captured and I knew at this point it would be hard to convince Joseph that it was all for him. Joseph left us there as we picked the photos in shock. I felt a pain I had never felt before. It felt like hot flames where burning in my chest and I could almost smell the smoke escape through my mouth. Raymond tried to comfort me and assured me he would talk to Joseph but I cried bitterly, there I was standing and feeling very hopeless. A surprise for my man got me into trouble. I followed Joseph but discovered that he wasn’t home, I waited for hours but he still did not show up. Perhaps he knew I would be there so he chose not to go home. I didn’t know who to blame for this, was it Rebecca or another enemy? Maybe Charles… I was so lost. I thought I had seen it all but no I hadn’t. The following morning I woke up to buzzes on my phone and I thought it was my fans. I had gained fame and prestige overnight but it wasn’t long before it came crushing. When I logged on to my Facebook account people had tagged me in a post where I was trending. The post read “Famous actress and book writer disappoints second man” It was a devastating article that had me questioning God why? The article went on describing how it was my second time abandoning a man on my way to the top and to top it all, the pictures were equally shared on social media. Surely life had to give me a break. What was it that I owed the world to the extent that I deserved this humiliation. Funny part is by the end of the day my post had a thousand likes, shares and comments. People surely do know how to hate. I drove to Emmanuella house the following day just so I could explain myself. I also carried with me receipts of the payment I gave Raymond for the surprise party. Emmanuella let me in but it was as good as not visiting because she too did not believe me. There’s a famous saying “responding to rumours simply gives them life”. Well I wish i knew that before because I made another mistake by trying to exculpate myself and I only worsened the situation. ################ It had been a week and I had decided to leave it all to God. Yes I was very sure that it was the best way to handle it, so I stepped aside of the problem and left it to God despite the fact that my face was recognised everywhere. The rumours still hadn’t gone down but I received good news, my manager informed me that our movie was nominated and I had to travel to Lagos Nigeria in two days. I missed my flight by 20 minutes and my manager was so angry as he had to leave me behind. Luckily, I could catch another flight in 4hours so I chose not to leave the airport. The wait was unbearable as I flipped through magazines. I never liked to be alone as it reminded me of what I was going through. Joseph had asked for space so I was basically alone. I had cried myself to sleep nearly every other night and It was now tradition. My manager was my only source of comfort. When I thought he would end the contract with me like most people did, he told me I was just being prepared for better to come. ############## It was almost time for checking in at the airport and I got up to clear my luggage. As I stood in the queue I heard a couple giggling in the back and they sounded like love birds. They made me miss Joseph a lot. I was filled with envy as i turned around slowly to look at them.. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to see……… At the the end of the line was Rebecca standing hand in hand with charles giggling like the perfect couple. This world is full of surprises…. but this was the biggest of them all. |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 27 . I was ready the to approach them but time wasn’t on my side, either I chose to fight and miss my flight or ignore it and chase after something that was still in my favour. I thank God we were not on the same flight. Lagos promised better things and a lot more. My manager picked me up from the Airport and I checked into a beautiful hotel. The first place I wanted to visit was Banana island.. The much talked about place. As I relaxed and reflected in my hotel suite Joseph was on my mind and not because I missed him… Well of course I did. But really what I wanted was to move on. For good this time. Maybe love wasn’t for me… Perhaps I had to start afresh and focus on my life, without Joseph Amidst all the thoughts was the pressure of getting the award. What if I wasn’t good enough?.. No of course not. I was good enough. I just didn’t know about the rumours, they had circulated really fast like wild fire and I stood to lose this award based on those grounds. ############### “We need to get your outfit ready” my manager said as we had lunch. “Yes… I know. Do you think I will get it… I mean the award?” I said hesitantly. “Whether we get it or we don’t.. You have to stand with your head high..” He responded. “I really like your courage” I said. “No I like yours… You still chose to come out here even when you had every reason not to”. He said as he rubbed my shoulder ” thank you Mark... Can we go now…” I said as I got up. The afternoon was spent preparing for the following days event. I had no time to get a designer so I had to pick out a dress from the store. Social media is a place I completely avoided, in fact I deactivate all my social media accounts to wait for the situation to normalise. The day of the awards was extremely busy. I travelled in complete chaos.. No makeup artist and didn’t even bother hiring one. ############### “We need to go..” My manger said as he waited on my door. “Just two more minutes and we’ll be there” I said. I had managed to dress myself for the event and was more than ready to walk the red carpet in style, if Joseph was around… I wouldn’t be showing up alone. I thought. The flash flights and the fame couldn’t fill the void inside. I was a star but inside I was barely shining. “You need to put a smile on your face.. Remember everyone wants to see you and this is your chance to make the best of the mess. You hear me…?” My manager warned as we drove to the event. “Yes.. I do .. I hear you”.. I said. As I sat in the car viewing the beautiful lights of the city of Lagos I could hardly breath… A big lump chocked my throat and I was ready to cry but my manger noticed. ” Susan.... This is part of being at the top.. I wish I could say it is easy but no it isn’t. To achieve your goals isn’t easy… Many people wish they were you right now and as funny as it sounds even this mess….. others are envying you for it. Susan look at me… If you walk out there and face the crowd with courage… I can assure you the devil has failed”.. He said. Mark was right.. Despite knowing I had to answer many questions, I took the courage and stepped out of the car. Its like everyone was waiting to see me and hear from me. Cameras were in my face and microphones waiting to hear my explanation but I smiled and gave a short response each time. ############# It wasn’t bad after all. I managed to get past the questions and I was now settled waiting for the awards to start. Finally after waiting for so long, the nominees were announced for the category where my movie was featuring… It was a tense moment waiting for the final announcement as Mark and I held our hands tight “Lord please let me scoop this, at least for all the humiliation I’ve been through. I deserve this my Jesus.” I said in my heart. For a moment I was numb and everything stopped as mark shook me with excitement. “What? Did we get it?” I asked with extreme joy. “Of course we did! Let’s go… Let’s go” he screamed with joy. I stood up and we walked to the front.. It was the best day of my life and yes of course the tears were there. Plenty of them. God had given me much more than I could have asked for. Mark stepped aside as I walked up to the microphone. “I don’t know what to say…” I started.. “Well first of all I want to thank the Almighty God because his grace…… Am sorry….. Give me a minute” I said as I stopped to cry for a moment “Get it together” I heard Mark whisper from the background. I cleared my thought and started afresh. “Yes as I was saying…. The Almighty God alone deserves the glory and praise because if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here…. Humiliation has been a plate I’ve eaten from everyday of my life.. But standing on this platform is proof that I serve a Mighty God. I serve a Mighty God…” I shouted. People cheered and gave me a standing ovation and I felt comforted. I didn’t see Joseph coming to the front but I just realised he was on stage standing next to me and held my shoulder before taking the opportunity to say something. “Ladies and gentlemen I just wanted to officially clear the rumours. I am here and I am going nowhere” he said. While the crowd cheered Joseph and i held hands as I wore a fake smile. Surely they had to be a reason for him to be there after his unexpected silence. ################ My manager was extremely mad at me for even allowing Joseph be close to me and we met to discuss it over breakfast the following day. “He said he was sorry for believing everything” I convincingly told Mark “Oh and you believed him!!!! What’s wrong with you? Are you that desperate to be in a relationship??!!” He yelled. “Mark calm down we are in a public place… He is still the man I love and I understand the place he was coming from when he fell for the lies” I said trying to convince him. “No please don’t even give me that excuse!!!! Your boyfriend is just after your money and fame!” Mark yelled. We were in a five star restaurant and he was yelling like he was talking to a child. “Listen my dear… You had the one time opportunity… Only one opportunity to get this man out of your life for good and you instead choose to welcome him back the moment he crawled back. This is your career, in the entertainment world relationships come and go. So put yourself together and forget about him” Mark said. I didn’t believe everything he said except one thing… Maybe he was right, maybe Joseph was just after my money. But he had never asked me for a cent ever since we had been together. Was he waiting to marry me before he could have it all? Yes it made sense…. If the rumours had been going on for so long why then did he choose to forgive me now?.. I mean now of all times?. It’s obviously because he knew I was now climbing to the top. Yes it made sense. What Mark didn’t know was that Joseph had just dropped me at the hotel room the previous night and we didn’t even talk. However. We had agreed to meet over lunch to discuss our relationship. ############################ “You look really look good Susan” Joseph complimented as we arrived at the restaurant. “Thank you… I really appreciate.” I responded. We settled and ordered our food as we began to discuss. “Am sorry for believing everything I heard… I guess I was too fast” he said. “I understand….” I responded as I cleared my thoughts. “Does that mean you forgive me?” He asked. I cleared my throat and put the fork on the table. “Joseph what do you take me for?” I asked bluntly as I stared into his eyes. “What do you mean by that Susan?… He asked me. “Look Joseph I guess I would like to speak first..” I said “Yes honey you go first am listening” he said. “I know you think am foolish… But your games are too small for me I’ve been through a lot in life…” ” and I completely understand that” he interrupted. “Speak please what is it?” He asked me. “Joseph… I just can’t. I mean … I know we love each other and everything but I can’t… Today its this, God knows what it will be tomorrow” I said as I became emotional. “I want to be with you … I really do but my suffering will never end if I choose you.. Can’t you see it?. Our enemies will keep showing up.. Anything to do with you is a risk Joseph.. Its always been and I can’t do that anymore I deserve to be happy” I cried. Joseph was shocked and he came close to me… Susan please listen to I’ve not been sleeping…. “And you think I have?… You think I have Joseph!!!!!” I screamed in tears. We had to leave the restaurant because things were getting tense. I was angry and so was Joseph.. Joseph took me to the hotel but he also wanted to stay over and talk. But i refused. I guess the only way I could truly be happy is to accept that my happiness was dependant on myself and not on other people. Especially not Joseph. He however insisted on taking me to the airport the following morning and I agreed. We agreed to remain friends.. |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 28 . That night I hardly slept, Joseph was out of my life but my heart was far from being at peace. I felt a grief inside and I couldn’t explain what it was. What surprised me was that i felt calm about Joseph but something else felt strange inside. Maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. It was too much and slowly started becoming unbearable. I forced myself to sleep that night but I couldn’t and calling Joseph was the last thing I wanted to do. I was going to see him the following morning anyway so I didn’t have to bother him. I kept tossing and turning in my bed and I finally decide to start browsing through old pictures in my phone. Most of my pictures were taken with Joseph and now I felt worse Luckily when it was almost 2am I managed to dose off and slept ********************************************** I rushed to shower the moment I got up, it was only 40minutes before Joseph could arrive and I didn’t want to delay him. After getting ready and making sure everything was packed, I checked out of the hotel and waited in the lounge while i had some coffee. It was time for him to come and he did not show up. I waited for an hour to no avail. It was unlike Joseph to behave like that, he never disappointed me like that. Joseph was one smart man with time and he always teased me when I was late. The worst part was that I did not have the line he was using in Nigeria. However, he had mentioned the hotel he was booked in so I took a taxi that took me there. Panicking and not knowing what to do I rushed to the reception and asked what room he was in. The receptionist mentioned that Joseph was a resident at that hotel but didn’t come back the previous night. After begging the receptionist, she gave me the number he was using and I decided to call him. The phone rang the first time with no answer. I called again and on the fourth attempt someone picked up. “Halo.. How are you related to the owner of the phone?” A female voice answered. I was annoyed and ready to yell. Was Joseph having an affair ? Or did he come with another woman?. If this was his other woman, I was ready to stage a show. How could he move on so soon… “I’m his wife and you are?” I asked rudely. “Well madam you need rush to the main hospital right now. Your husband was in an accident last night..” The woman said. My heart crushed and I suddenly became weak. “Madam can i talk to him please” I begged. “He is in too much pain and he can’t talk right now, just be here as fast as you can”.. The lady said before hanging up. With the help of the receptionist, I rushed to Joseph room and I picked his bag before dashing out to the hospital. ################################ My heart bled seeing the man I love so dearly lying down speechless and in so much pain. He made no movement or expression to show that he had seen me. His eyes just stared in my direction. I became so weak and tears rolled down my cheeks. I cried bitterly until the nurse moved me outside. ” you are not supposed to cry like that. Pray for him. You have the power as his wife to stand in the gap for him. Don’t mourn in front of him.. He may not be able to move or talk to you but he can clearly hear you. If you know his favourite song sing it to him gently but most importantly pray for him” the nurse said. “What is wrong with him nurse? Is he going to be OK? I mourned. ” my dear look at me.. Do you believe in God?” She asked me. “Yes I do with all of my heart” I responded. “Do you trust that he can do exelceedinhly and abundantly above all that you can ever ask?” “Yes… I do…” I cried. “Then wipe those tears and ask for Gods strength.. Go in there and be strong for your spouse. Pray my dear pray” she said. When the nurse walked away I said a short panicking prayer and called Emmanuella. Emmanuella couldn’t hold herself and she burst into tears. She assured me that they would take the first plane to Nigeria. I went back to check on Joseph and as I looked at him I regretted asking him to be my friend. How could I do that? I sat by the bedside and held his hand. “Honey.. I give up.. I give up on all life has thrown at me… I admit today that you are the man God has destined for me and if you can hear me Joseph i want you to know that I love you. I love you with all of my heart. I love you so much that I am willing to take your place in this bed and bear the pain for you”.. I said calmly as tears rolled down my cheeks. ” my love, my husband to be.. Get well soon .. How will we have a wedding with you in this state..” I cried. Without even realising it, I calmly started singing Bob Marley song “One Love” . The song Joseph had dedicated to me when we first fell in love. My eyes were closed and as I sang tears rolled down my cheeks… all the way down to my neck. What more pain could surpass this?. You really never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option. I felt a slight movement as I was still holding Joseph, it felt like he moved his finger. But I continued singing in disbelief. “Suddenly I felt him grip my hand really tight and I opened my eyes. ” nurse! Nurse!” I called out. The nurse came running with the doctor. “He’s moving.. His moving..” I shouted. The doctor commanded the nurse to take me outside while he started working on Joseph. I could see Joseph struggling to breath and I mourned terribly as the nurse led me outside. I threw myself on the lawn as I cried our to God in prayer. “Jesus!!! Jesus!!!.. Save him please!. Save the man I love so much or take me too. Why did you give him to me if you knew you would never allow us the chance to be happy Answer me Lord!!!!!” I mourned.I said so many things as I begged God to save Joseph A woman ran to me and she comforted me. I couldn’t hear everything she was saying as she wasn’t very fluent in English but she was asking me to be strong. When I was no longer crying the woman asked to leave as she needed to get back to work, she was a cleaner at the hospital. Thoughts remained flashing on my mind of Joseph in our happiest moments and even the saddest moments. I was holding Joseph jacket in my hands that he wore the night of the accident and it was ripped badly. I threw it over my legs that were getting cold and I was astonished to see something fall out of the jacket. It was a small red box. When I opened it inside was a silver and diamond ring. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I pulled it out and noticed it had engravings inside that read “I love you Susan”. This man loved me so much and I had been so blind to see. Why was our love tested so much?. Pain filled my heart again and tears started falling. I slipped the ring on my finger and kissed it. “Madam… Madam… Please come with me” I heard the nurse call out. I quickly wiped my tears, got up and rushed after her. |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 29. . As I rushed behind the nurse, fear paralysed my mind. Was I rushing for good news or bad news? Along the corridor I saw a woman mourning and asking God for an explanation. She had just lost a loved one, was I going to be in the same situation soon?. The thought of it all frightened me so badly that I started reciting PSALMS 23. Davids confidence in God through that prayer calmed my spirit. The walk along the hallway felt like the longest walk. Joseph was on my mind and I was praying with every fibre in my veins that he survives this accident. Finally the nurse made a turn, it wasn’t the ward I hard earlier left Joseph in but it was another private ward. Wondering whether to question the nurse what was happening, I bit my lips and folded my arms. I was feeling very cold. It wasn’t cold but the fear brought a very unpleasant breeze. I hated the sight of hospitals, they all seemed like death traps to me and this one was no different. “Madam sit over there am coming” the nurse said as she pointed towards a bench that was near the ward. She entered the ward alone and as soon as she was in, a doctor walked out. Now this frightened me more. “Doctor… Doctor wait.. How’s the patient?” I asked as I ran after him. “Take a sit madam you will be informed soon” he responded as he continued walking. Did this man know how I was feeling?. Soon sounded like forever. Besides he knew so I don’t understand why he wouldn’t just tell me. “Madam.. You can come and see the patient” the nurse said. I couldn’t read her face, but she called me to see the patient. Meaning he had to be alive at least. I entered quickly and walked to the beside. It was a private room so he was alone. Joseph eyes were closed but I could tell he was breathing, his face expressionless. He looked like he was really tired and so I avoided waking him up. Gently, I dragged a chair and sat by the bedside. I began to recite prayers in silence while I looked at him. ********************************************** It had been 4hours and Joseph was still in deep sleep, the nurses told me he was on strong medication to ease the pain. He needed to do an operation but first he needed to feel better otherwise it would be too unbearable for him. I didn’t want to leave his side, even just to use the toilet. The nurses advised me to rest as it was now night time but I didn’t want to sleep. How could I when the love of my life was in that condition?. I watched the day turn into night and the night turn into day but my dear Joseph was still in deep sleep. He neither winked nor move a muscle, not even smile at me or even frown. At this point I preferred the arguments to seeing him in that state. Every minute was critical, I couldn’t shut my eyes. I concentrated a lot on his chest as his shirt gently vibrated. It made me aware that he was still breathing, still holding on to me. The nurse and doctor came in for their morning round, I was asked to step outside. I didn’t want to but I obeyed and slowly walked outside. My body was fatigued, and I felt weak. The hunger had now hit me so i went to the hospital canteen and bought some soup. After taking 3 hipped tablespoons of the hot chicken soup my throat blocked. I couldn’t swallow any further.. I couldn’t eat knowing Joseph was hungry, he had been lying in that bed undergoing treatment yet unable to eat or drink. What was the medicine Working on? An empty stomach?. Tears clouded my eyes and in one blink my face was wet. I cried profoundly, questioning God in my heart when this suffering would end. I got up leaving the soup ball on the bench and took a tour of the hospital, praying and hoping things could get better. I was in a foreign land where I went to get my recognition but it came with a lot of stress. As I decided to go back to the hospital ward my phone rang. I couldn’t recognise the number but I could tell it was Nigerian. “Halo…” I answered calmly. “Halo my dear its Emmanuella. How do we get to the hospital?” She asked. I gave them directions and went to check on Joseph as I waited for them to come. The nurse cornered me before I could reach the ward. “He is awake, don’t stress him with conversation.. Make sure he rests” the nurse said. Joseph eyes where closed but I could tell he noticed the presence of a person by his bedside as he slowly opened his eyes. I moved the chair closer to his bedside and I noticed his face become bright and the left corner of his lips bended into a gentle smile. He was restless but he still smiled at me. “I love you honey” I whispered. Joseph smile widened and he nodded his head before closing his eyes again. I held on to his hand and leaned my head on his bed as I too fell asleep. ********************************************** I was woken up by a loud mourning voice and my heart skipped. Emmanuella was in the room with Joseph mother who was screaming on top of her voice. I looked at Joseph and he was still sleeping peacefully so I gently left his hand as I tried to advice Emmanuella to take mum outside. “What are you saying!!!!!” Joseph mother yelled. “You are a witch,infant the Mother of Witches ,and if my son listened to me, we wouldn’t be here!!!!!” she mourned. Those words echoed in me and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I was hurt but Joseph was my biggest concern at that point. The nurse came in and Joseph mother was taken outside. Joseph started coughing uncontrollably and the nurse called the doctor. They said he was frightened and that increased his breathing causing him to cough badly. They managed to stabilise him and I finally heard him say a word….. it was my name. He called out my name. The nurse asked me to hold his hand so he could be aware of my presence which I did and he looked at me with a smile. Emmanuella was indifferent towards me and as we sat by Joseph bedside together, I could tell she did not want me there. I rested my head on Joseph bed again as I held on to him and dosed off. Suddenly a rough tap on my shoulder woke me up. “Mum wants to see her son but you have to leave first, she doesn’t want you here” I heard Emmanuella say with a loud #Hisssssssssss. I couldn’t believe what I heard so I looked clearly at Emmanuella who was seated next to me by the bedside. “I said mum wants to come and see her only son. Can you please excuse us?” Emmanuella said rudely, Eyeing me. I smiled gently trying to brush the anger away. “If mum wants to see him let her come in, Joseph does not want me to leave his side so I can’t go anywhere” I responded calmly. “You have managed to make a fool out of everyone in this family but not me and certainly not my mother, maybe Mrs. Harrison who welcomed you into her house after picking you from The Gutter as an ordinary Maid!!!!!!, Yes I use that Language [Maid] only God knows where and how you came to this Planet Self”.. She said angrily with a Loud #Hisssssssss I did not respond but just took in a deep sigh and turned around to look at Joseph. After a moment of silence Emmanuella left the ward. A lot of pain stirred up inside but I let it go with a short prayer. Suddenly Emmanuella bulged in this time with her mother and the nurse. The nurse came to me and politely asked me to follow her outside. I opposed as I didn’t want to leave Joseph side. “madam I know how you feel, you’re the wife but she is the mother. Please give her a chance to see her son” the nurse said. “Wife ? No! Make no mistake she is not the wife but a maid and a Born by mistake who has made a living by reaping off men, only God Knows if she have hand on her parents Death ” Joseph mother shouted Rudely.“Its OK madam keep your voice down” the nurse interrupted. “This witch here actually has another man” Emmanuella yelled in the background. As all this chaos was taking place Joseph was asleep peacefully while I shed tears “Emmanuella you know that’s not true” I cried. Emmanuella looked at me disgustingly from head to toe, you could tell that to your unborn children your Tears meant nothing to me. “Dear let’s go…” The nurse said as she held my hand. Despite trying to resist, the nurse insisted i go. I cried bitterly as I let go of Joseph hand and followed the nurse outside. |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 30 . I sat on the bench for an hour shedding tears and wishing I did not find myself in this predicament. The nurse came and sat next to me as I wept. “Dear I’ve seen you crying for hours. Don’t you get tired?.. I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude but I have never seen a woman so emotional. Instead of praying for your partner and keeping the faith, why are you crying?” She asked me. “I have been through too much” you would never understand..” I said. “I need you to tell me every single thing but first the patients bill has to be settled. Who is responsible for that?” She asked. “I will settle it how much is the bill?” I asked. “You have to go to the accounts office. I can take you there” she said. With the help of the nurse I went to the Accounts office. The nurse explained that if all went well Joseph may not need an operation, however, if their suspicions were right then he might have a dislocated knee. After I settled the bill I sat outside and got a pen to draft all that I had been through, starting from life alone up until I met Josephe. It was a painful story to write. ################################ The nurse who spoke to me had just signed out of her shift and she asked me to take a walk with her around the hospital while we discussed. As I narrated my story to her, I noticed she was fighting back tears but she assured me that all would be well. Although she insisted that I go and pass a night at her house, I still wanted to be with Joseph so I passed on the offer. The nurse directed me to a chapel within the hospital and I went there to pray. The whole night I offered Joseph life into Gods hands and I asked for the grace of God to rest upon our lives. I constantly reminded myself of Jeremiah 33v3 and I called God holding him by his word and sincerely trusting that he would not fail me. After praying for so long and losing every strength I had left, I lay on the floor facing the altar as I went on singing praises. I heard someone walk into the chapel but I maintained my position. “I knew I would find you here” I heard the voice say. It was the kind nurse. “How are you madam and why are you back?” I asked her as I stretched myself. “Dear its morning, I have a morning shift” she said. “Is it?” I asked in shock. “Yes I knew you lost track of time, you look fatigued. Did you sleep?” She asked me. “No…” I calmly responded. “Dear I have good news for you but first sit here with me you look tired” she said as she sat on a bench. When I was settled she looked at me and smiled. “Your husband.. I mean your partner…” “Nurse you can call him my husband its fine” I corrected her. “Yes…. Your husband will not under go an operation. You must have really prayed because even I was in a state of shock when the doctor said that.” she said. “Huh?? Are you telling the truth??” I said with excitement as my eyes became teary. “There you go again dear… Why? Why are you crying?” She asked me as she put her hand on my shoulder. “I’m so sorry I don’t mean to… I’m just happy.. Please can I see him?” I asked in tears. “I will make a plan so your mother in-law does not see you. Now wipe your tears.. I will be right back” she said. The nurse hurriedly left and I waited patiently. She came in after a while and asked me to follow her. Joseph was seated upright and I couldn’t believe it. He was still a little weak but was so happy to see me. I hugged him really tight and he cried on my shoulder, I couldn’t help but cry too. “Why did you leave my side? Even when I was weak, I could feel your presence and I was comforted by your presence” He said “Honey I may have left your side but i carried you with me. I have been in the hospital chapel praying for you.” I said.. Joseph and I were still in a hugging position. “Baby I’m weak but I will be OK, I promise you. I won’t leave your side” I heard him say. I helped him lay back in bed and I covered him half way. We held hands and talked. He was very happy although he was still weak. The nurse came in and said his mother wanted to come back in but Joseph insisted that if she wanted to come in, she had to be OK with me being around. The nurse went and communicated this with her but she refused to come in unless I left. “Honey I think let me go outside. I will be back later let mum see you first” I said to Joseph “No honey don’t leave my side” he insisted as he held onto my hand. After close to an hour his mother and sister decided to join in and they sat. None of them said a word to me but Joseph talked to me when he could. Often occasions his mother interrupted and asked me to shut up so Joseph could rest but eventually Joseph started another conversation and we got talking again. It was almost time for lunch and Joseph asked me to go and get him food. He wanted chicken pepper Soup. Luckily, the nurse offered her kitchen and she asked her brother to pick me up. I showered And changed at her house and quickly prepared the food. ********************** “Honey you’re back. I was waiting for you” Joseph said with a smile. He looked much stronger and happy. The stares I was getting from his family made me nervous but I stayed strong for my dear Joseph. After dishing the food Joseph insisted that we eat together and I joined him on the bed as we ate. “Mum.. This is my wife” Joseph said to his mother as ate. Whatever charm this fool has fed you is really strong ooooh,Haba!!!!!!! I could see she was very angry but I did what I had to do and ignored her. “Honey can I give you some water?” I asked him. Joseph sister rolled her eyes as I gave him water to drink and she got and Smack the water from my hands, before leaving the ward angrily. I wish she understood that I was innocent in all this matter. Joseph insisted that I go and rest at home that night and I went to sleep back at his hotel room. Things were looking good and I talked to him before i fell asleep. He insisted I go early in the morning so we have breakfast together. The following morning just like I promised, I was there on time and I got some breakfast from the canteen which Joe and I ate together. The doctor then suggested that Joe starts physiotherapy for at least 2weeks before he could be discharged.... 1 Like |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 31. . The week that followed I witnessed Gods grace, indeed we serve a mighty God. I had prayed without ceasing calling on God everyday. Indeed prayer without ceasing is the only solution to move stubborn mountains. Joseph physiotherapy sessions went well and he was due for discharge. He was fine but the doctor suggested he does not return to doing strenuous exercise quickly. The wonderful nurse I met gave me her number and she promised to stand with me in prayer all the time. I found a mother in her that I never had. On the day of our flight I packed up everything and together with Joseph family, we checked in at the airport. Joseph mother and sister had become more polite after they saw the sacrifices I made. I paid off his hospital bill and I even hired the most recommended physiotherapist while we were in Nigeria. I believe all this change was as a result of the war I created in prayer. Our flight landed just in time to catch up with one of my enemies, just like God had planned it. That same day Rebecca was returning from the united states as a convict. Yes… A convict and police were ready to receive her at the airport. As we waited for our vehicle to come I heard a voice call my name. To my surprise it was Rebecca she was between Seven police officers. She begged the officers to let her talk to me and she came where we were seated. Rebecca had been used by Charles to set me up. Well I can’t say “used” because they had something in common. They both wanted to see me suffer. Well as they landed in America charles did not keep his word of giving Rebecca a better life hence she resorted to drug trafficking until she was finally caught on her way to Jamaican. All this happened within a period of one month. Karma is quick when you pray. Charles did not go unpunished either, his own punishment was being swindled by Jasmine Hillary. The clever Jasmine Hillary got away with everything. As they arranged to marry in America and live happily ever after, charles sold the house and his belongings in Nigeria including the Benz that was once mine. The money with the Total sum of $500,000[Five hundred thousand Dollars] was forwarded to Jasmine account in America before charles could join her. Rebecca was the fool who followed Charles blindly not knowing he had planned to dump her there. Well they both had another thing coming because Charles dumped Rebecca, and Jasmine swindled Charles. All this news was narrated to me by Rebecca who begged the Police to give her a few minutes to talk to me. I was totally shocked. I just couldn’t believe my ears. I should have been angry but I truly felt pity so did Joseph, but Stella’s fate was no longer in our hands but the law. Joseph mother knelt before me at the airport weeping profusely, and asking for forgiveness when she learnt what Rebecca had done to me. Emmanuella was very sorry too and she failed to forgive herself but I forgave her. I knew those Hypocrite tears were only because they knew Joseph would not give up on me and either they accepted me or risked their relationship with him. I hadn’t talked to Mark my manager for almost a month so I decided to call him as soon as we arrived at Joseph house. I wanted to let him know I was in town so he could make me available for upcoming projects. To my surprise Mark was not answering. I called everyone I knew who could link me to him and all I was told was that he had not returned from Nigeria. That came as a shock as he left Nigeria just after the awards. Joseph advised me to put in a missing report and we did that together. The police in Nigeria immediately started looking for Mark. The month that followed Joseph and I usually went for walks together just to help him get better. Day by day he improved and he soon went back to his usual sports. ********************* ONE BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY EVENING I was just getting ready to go for my morning prayer walk, A habit I had adopted all through Joseph illness. As i got ready, I received a call. “Halo honey are you home?” Joseph asked me. “Yes I am actually..” I responded. “OK great.. I sent my driver to pick you up” he said. “I was just about to have my prayer walk can he come an hour from now?” I asked. “OK my praying woman. Make sure you pray for us” he said. I was a bit shocked because Joseph had mentioned that he would be busy so I didn’t think he would call. I got my bottle of water and set off on my walk. That day I prayed for a lot of things but most importantly for Mark. I really hoped he was OK and would soon be back home. I felt responsible for his missing. After the prayer walk, I went home and got ready to be picked up. At the back of my kind I was imagining dinner because Joseph liked to have lunch with me whenever he was free. I hurried to the gate just about the time Joseph had mentioned. To my surprise Mr and Mrs Harrison were in the car outside and I was so shocked. “Dear don’t be afraid..” Mrs Harrison said as she came to hug me. I was so happy, I loved that woman so much. I owed her a lot for saving me from my life. Mr Harrison hugged me too and I got in the car. They were both happy and we talked all the way. I was still wondering what this was about though. “Joseph will join us at the mall. There’s a new movie showing we thought you might be interested ” Mrs Harrison said. I agreed but still wondered why we would be going to the cinema, was the movie so important? I just wanted to talk to them all night. “Susan we are here” I heard Mrs Harrison say to me as my eyes focussed on my phone “Oh ok” I said with a smile before packing my phone away. It was a bit chilly outside but the whether was just perfect. We got some corn at the entrance and then walked to the cinema which was already dark. People were settled inside and we found a slot on top where we could sit. I quickly got my phone to text Joseph when we settled, I was so excited and I couldn’t wait to talk to him. “Susan the movie is about to begin” I heard Mrs Harrison whisper to me. “OK mum”.. I responded. ” Susan... I’m your sister ” she corrected me. At least that about her didn’t change. She was still as nice as I could remember. However, everything had changed. If i didn’t know better I would have thought she was American. What shocked me though was Bob Marley song that started playing through the loud speakers of the cinema. The song “ONE LOVE” . This song always spoke to my heart. “What a coincidence” I thought as I softly sang along to the song and focussed on the screen that was just white. Suddenly some words came on the screen and they read: “I will still choose her… Any day, any time” “Is that the title of the movie?” My blonde self thought. The song was still playing on replay and I continued silently singing along. The large screen suddenly showed my picture while I was eating Coldstone Ice-cream and chicken barbecue. It was a photo taken by Joseph on our first date. At this point, I couldn’t understand what was happening and I looked at Mrs Harrison but she was very focussed looking at the screen and maintaining a smile. The next picture was me standing holding my award, it was taken in Nigeria. Then followed by photos I took with Joseph in hospital and Many more photos followed that I took with Joseph. I was an emotional wreck, tears ran down my cheeks like the Water Fountain. It certainly wasn’t my birthday so what was this surprise for? I felt Mrs Harrison touch my hand as it rested on my lap. “Brace yourself” she whispered. As the last photo came to a pose I heard a voice through the speakers say”ladies join me in asking the most beautiful woman on earth to marry me”.. It was still dark as Joseph words echoed through the speakers. “Susan Adeboye my Queen… Make me the happiest man alive by officially accepting that ring on your finger. Please be my wife…..” Joseph said through the speakers. Suddenly the lights went on and I saw Joseph standing in front with a bunch of roses and he slowly knelt down. I walked to the front very nervous, shaking and crying. All attention on me in the cinema. I couldn’t utter the words but I just nodded my head and he removed the ring and asked me again before he slipped the ring back on my finger. The people cheered so loud almost like it was a football match. We hugged really tight and kissed right there in front of the crowd. My Joseph finally asked me to marry him. Joseph held the microphone and said… ” thank you Nairalander's view cinemas for making this possible and thank you everyone present here for accepting to take part in my engagement. Thank you so much and goodnight” When we stepped outside, I saw Emmanuella and Daniella and they came to hug me. “Congratulations” they screamed. I couldn’t believe it, seeing Daniella again felt so good. That wasn’t the end of the surprises. Joseph presented me keys as we walked to the top car park from the cinema. Yes, keys to a brand new Jeep white in colour with a red ribbon on top. I was jumping up and down like crazy and thankfully Joseph had hired a professional camera to capture the moment. l And to think that I was almost giving up. Oh what a mighty God. WHAT A MIGHTY GOD.. !!!! ��� 1 Like |

PAINS OF A VULNERABLE WOMAN EPISODE 32 . kindly ignore mistakes” Joseph and I travelled to the united States with the Harrison to celebrate our engagement but most importantly, I wanted to get a princes wedding gown by Pinina and I found the perfect dress. I didn’t know what to put together when planning for the special day, all along i knew I wanted a fairytale wedding but the time finally came and I was blank. Emmanuella suggested she knew a planner who could help and she was right. The man knew what he was doing. I was so calm through the planning process, no stress whatsoever. I was just glad that i was getting married to the man of my dreams. Despite everything I went through, I really wanted to have my uncle walk me down the aisle. Unfortunately he was still in prison so Mr. Harrison took that gap and filled in for the father I never had. ********************************************** The morning of the wedding was so peaceful, I woke up feeling very emotional. I couldn’t believe I was finally going to be with the love of my life, i had really suffered and now I was a few hours away from being a wife. Joseph was just that gift I needed from above and he came at the perfect time. The matron who happened to be Mrs. Harrison was very helpful. She made sure I was dressed on time and she kept me calm. She also made sure everything was sorted. We spent a night at Emmanuella's house, she hosted us and took care of our sleeping and food arrangement. I was marrying into a wonderful family that was so selfless and this was comforting, despite what the devil ploted in Nigeria, I managed to reconcile with Emmanuella and my mother in-law. Vanessa and Emmanuella, were in charge of makeup and they worked their magic on our faces while keeping mindful of time as they too were on the lineup. My bridesmaids included Emmanuella, Daniella, Vanessa and Daniella (Joseph sister) *********************** When we were all ready I gathered all my bridal party in one place because i had something important to say. “I would like to thank you all for being a part of my life, each one of you has had a very important part to play in my life. As you know my life has been a roller coaster, I’ve had so many ups and downs.. The downs being many but all in all I thank God. Today I want to thank God because he has shown his mercy. I know marriage is not easy but with God at the centre i know i will enjoy every moment. I want us to pray.. Please pray for me as I take this journey” I said emotionally. “I agree my dear and I think we should pray now and for your husband too. I know my brother and I have no doubt he will make you a happy wife.” Mrs Harrison said as she rubbed my shoulder. Emmanuella spread a mat in the bedroom and I knelt down there while my bridesmaids surrounded me as they held hands. Mrs. Harrison led into a strong prayer and everyone joined in, it was strong, powerful and touched every area including our unborn children. When Mrs. Harrison concluded the prayer a breath of fresh air filled the room and I was calm and peaceful. It was finally happening… I was going to get married in less than an hour. Mrs Harrison dropped my veil and handed me my bouquet, the most emotional part of my morning was being covered under the veil. As I slowly walked out my bridesmaids ululated. My heart was overjoyed. This was me… Susan Adeboye finally getting married, leaving behind the horrible life I had led. Each step reminded me of the small chicken run I grew up in. The smell of chicken feed and chicken manure came back.. The faith and hope I had in having a better life clouded my mind, the sleepless nights, tears and hungry days. If this God isn’t to be praised then I don’t know who deserves the praise. I was a maid in ripped clothes without anything to my name but now I was not only independent but also getting married to a wonderful man. I was an outcast but God still saw it fit that I be called his own. Who wouldn’t want to serve a God like that?. ********************** As the vehicle moved all I could think about was Joseph, I couldn’t wait to see his face and his look. Mrs Harrison sat next to me, and she kept reminding me to breathe and take in the moment. The vehicle finally pulled over at the venue of the marriage blessing ceremony. When I was informed the bridesmaids had settled inside my heart suddenly started racing but I had to be calm. Mr. Harrison came to open the door and he held my hand . We slowly walked to the chapel entrance. “You’re nervous relax” Mr Harrison whispered as we stood at the entrance. The bridesmaids had just made their way in and it was almost our turn to enter. As I stared at the chapel door and imagined just how Joseph was smiling it made me feel better and calm. The doors slowly opened and the celebrant asked everyone to stand up to welcome the bride…… The bride who happened to be myself. Susan Adeboye was finally going to be a wife. The keyboard finally started to play “here comes the bride” While holding on to Mr Harrison we walked slowly into the beautifully decorated chapel. Just how I imagined it, the ceremony was peach and white. Material hang from the ceiling and it looked beautiful. My princess Pinina wedding gown was glowing with the crystals flashing as people admired. The neck piece and tiara were all shipped from the USA….. just simply amazing. I looked up to peep and Saw Joseph facing the front, he clearly heard not to look behind until he was asked to. I could see his hands make fists as if he was nervous. “Awwww he must be anxious” I thought ********************* “Who gives this Lady away in marriage?” The celebrant asked. “I do” Mr Harrison replied. When Joseph got my hand from Mr. Harrison I got so emotional but I contained the tears. “You look gorgeous honey” he whispered I smiled hearing those wonderful words coming from my husband to be. It was a beautiful service, the preaching touched my heart. Joseph kept stealing glances at me and we smiled at each other often all through the service. *********************** THE VOWS JOSEPH:: One boring afternoon I took a drive to relax my mind and refresh my thoughts. Little did I know that drive was going to be the beginning of something beautiful. That day i met a young lady, She looked very tired and frustrated with life. To me she was a diamond in the rough and I believed it the first time I set my eyes on her. From that moment I knew she was no ordinary girl and I told God if I drove back and found her there then I would be taking her home with me. I quickly informed my sister of this young lady I had finally found to help her with the chores. She agreed without hesitating and just like God had planned it…. I found her there. Susan my love no amount of pain that life has thrown at me has or can succeed in changing my feelings for you. Today I’m joining myself to you accepting that you are the only woman destined for me. I promise to love and always stand by you, through hard times and good times. I can’t afford to be away from you any longer my love. My promise to you is eternity of togetherness through the the laughter and the tears. ******** I was emotional hearing Joseph recite those words, knowing they came straight from his heart made it even extra special. The celebrant extended the mic towards me. “I wouldn’t want to be you right now … The pressure is on” the celebrant teased. The congregation laughed and ululated. Indeed the pressure was on, how could I ever top the beautiful vows Joseph made. I cleared my throat and smiled. I knew Joseph could see the smile from my veil because he smiled too. MY VOWS:: My love Joseph. you showed me a new side of life. # The emotions were too many so i stopped a little to gather myself # “Breath honey” I heard Joseph whisper. Its like his words triggered the emotions more and tears trailed down. I smiled trying to block the tears but it was too late. “Joseph you got me my first brand new dress as opposed to the hand me downs I grew up wearing. The first time I ever smelt good, you were behind it. You washed the dirt out of me and gave me courage to pursue my dreams… Just that alone gave me drive to work hard and one day be able to afford my own clothes and perfume. Today.. I can testify that God is indeed able. He really is faithful and because of him today I am getting married to my best friend, my motivator, my confidant and the most courageous man I know. He is my rock loving and shielding me through every storm. This man standing opposite me has taught me to love and trust again” At this time tears had already flooded my face and I was shaking. Joseph equally broke down and the celebrant asked for a moment of silence to allow us calm down. It was very emotional. “God if I had to do this over again I would choose this path again” Joseph whispered in between the tears The celebrant was amazed at the love we expressed for each other and he challenged the guests to believe in love. He said:: “True love is patient and overcomes every storm” “What can I say? Who am I not to bless this union?” The celebrant added The rings were brought forward by Daniella (Joseph sister) who was my maid of honour. Having blessed the rings the celebrant handed one ring to Joseph and asked him to repeat the vows of commitment. As Joseph held the ring towards my finger I could tell he was still very emotional. “Susan take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity, in the name of the father and of the of the holy spirit” The crowd cheered really loud and now it was my turn. I kept reminding myself that it was really true and that it was really happening. Holding the ring toward his finger I repeated the words:: “Joseph take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity, in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit. Amen” The ululating was loud as people clapped and congratulated us. The certificate was presented before us and we signed it with Mr and Mrs Harrison standing as witness. The moment everyone was waiting for finally came. The celebrant cracked a few jokes before asking Joseph to unveil his bride. “Joseph as you unveil you bride say these words after me….” “Bone of my bone, flesh of my flash.. Her name is Susan Abiola” Joseph recited as he unwrapped my veil. “Ladies and gentleman by the power invested in me, I now introduce to you for the first time Mr and Mrs Abiola!!” The crowd rolled with cheers and laughter as Joseph and i kissed. Well I must say that kiss was one of a kind. We both burst into laughter after the kiss because Joseph wore all my lipstick. And just like that I was officially Joseph wife. ********************************************** We had just finished having lunch at Emmanuella's house after the studio photoshoot, it was almost time for the reception. Joseph and i had a table set out for us privately where we had our lunch and the rest of the bridal ate in the dinning room. “Honey I need to change into my second dress” I said to Joseph “Oh that’s great then let me escort you” he responded. “Honey??” I responded shyly. “What? I am your husband..” he insisted as he winked at me. He had a silly smile on his face and he kept winking. “Oh honey stop it…. Can I at least worry about that after the wedding.. Please let me go alone” I insisted. Joseph was clearly amazed by my persistence and it just made him more eager to escort me but he finally let me have my way. “You better get used to this arrangement” he giggled. The thought of just sharing a bed with Joseph that night killed me and I wished the reception could last forever. I was so nervous ********************* I had just finished changing into my second dress in readiness for the wedding reception when I walked out to meet Joseph , he was blown away and kept reminding me how beautiful I was. “Honey I hope you are ready to dance because am ready to jive” he teased. “I got two left feet but we got this” I giggled. **************** We finally arrived at the beautiful Ananda lodge where our wedding reception would take place. Outside we could tell the guest were aware of our arrival from the loud screams and ululating The grand entrance into the reception got everyone on their feet, Little had I known Joseph feet had great rhythm. The audience was taken by surprise seeing how my husband and I killed it on the dancefloor. It was a day to definitely remember and we gave the media something to talk about. The favourite part of the reception was cutting into the gorgeous 15tier velvet wedding cake, the kiss and finally our dance to the theme track of our relationship “One Love by Bob Marley''. That wasn’t the best part yet. The master of ceremony surprised the crowd including my self when he asked me to stand and sit on a chair that was place at the centre of the hall. The lights went off for a few minutes and when they went back on, Joseph and his groomsmen were standing in front of me, they had removed their jackets but had put on hats. ” what’s going on?” I whispered to Joseph Suddenly a track by Simi “JOROMI” started playing and the men started their routine. Awwww…….. it was so romantic seeing Joseph slide from one direction to the other in what seemed like a Michael Jackson inspired dance. The wedding sealed off with our send off track “Davido (Gobe) ************ I am just a blessed girl. Blessed beyond mans understanding. 1 Like |
