HEAR MY STORY..Part 4
She wiped her tears,came to me and said “when last did u see your menses?”.
It was then i remembered i saw it last in April,I’ve not seen it in May.
I checked my calendar,with tears rolling down my cheeks, I said “April 11, ma”.
“And what is today’s date?.. 23rd May,u ought to have seen it before now….so, u didn’t even know you’ve missed your
period? Ok,let’s go to the clinic for confirmation.”
I dressed up and followed her to the clinic.
A pregnancy test was done,and the result was positive.
When we left the clinic,Mrs Williams drove straight to the church. We entered the office,and she locked the door behind us. We were the only ones in the church premises.
She said “Let’s pray”.
She prayed. After the prayer,i couldn’t lift up my head,i was just looking down,i didn’t want to look at her face,because I knew what the next question would be,and that was the last question i wanted to answer.
Then she said “Sis Sewa,now that we have confirmed that you are pregnant,can you tell me who is responsible for the pregnancy?”
I didn’t answer. I was just sobbing in tears.
“I didn’t ask you to weep,i said who is responsible for the pregnancy?”
Now,i couldn’t stand it any longer. I felt like throwing up,I was feeling dizzy,i was very weak. My tummy was turning up and down.
I got up from where i was sitting,opposite her across the table,managed to get to where she was,leaned on her and fainted.
By the time i would wake up,i saw her speaking in tongues,my dress was w-t with water. She had a paper in her hands with
which she was blowing air on my w-t body.
When i realised what had happened,i opened my mouth and said “Mummy,i’m sorry for putting you through this”.
“She said “Forget about that….Are you now okay?”
“Yes ma” I answered.
“Thank u Jesus” she murmured.
She quickly plugged an electric kettle which was in the office,got a mug,put a teabag in it,poured hot water and added sugar.
She said “Now take this, I didn’t put milk,so it doesn’t nauseate you”.
I collected it from her,and said “Thank you ma”. I took it,and i felt better.
She allowed me to relax very well,before she continued.
“Now,tell me who impregnated you?”.
I bowed my head again.
“Tell me now!”
I couldn’t talk..but i must tell her now,i had no choice.
Then,a thought came to my mind,”Write it in a paper”.
I saw a pen on the table,took a small piece of paper also from the table,i wrote “Bode”.
I pushed it to her on the other side of the table where she sat gazing at me amazingly.
I didn’t know what to expect afterwards.
After reading it,she shouted “Ahhhhh!. Lord Jesus!!”
She held her head with her two hands,bowed down her head for about 5minutes,without saying anything.
I also bowed my head,but i was peeping at her once in a while.
By the time she lifted up her head,her eyes were filled with tears. I cant imagine how disappointed she was.
She looked at me,and bowed her head again.
I was just weeping.
After about 10mins,she got up from her seat,came to me,pulled me up and gave me a very warm and tight hug. She said “I know how you are feeling. I was once in your shoes..but hear this,though you have fallen into sin,but that is not the end of your life, nor the end of your Christianity. Jesus The
Merciful Saviour is still available to cleanse you. He still loves you. All He wants you to do is to repent,ask for forgiveness and sin no more. If He could have mercy on  me,He will surely have mercy on you too.”
 
I was a bit relieved,at least,after hearing what Mrs
Williams said.
“Now,tell me….how did it happen?.” She asked.
I told her everything i could remember without hiding
anything intentionally.
Whenever i said something she didnt understand,she would
throw a question to me,and i would answer.
After our discussion,she said “Do u know what?”
I said “No ma”.
She said “I will take u to ur house now,to go and pick some
of ur dresses and things u’ll need for a few days after
which u will come with me to our place.
I agreed.In less than one hour,i found myself sitting in d
small,beautiful living room of D Williams.
I was taken to d visitor’s room,where i put my bag.
What am i going to do next now?….I had no idea.
Thank God for d way everything happened,maybe i would
have taught of abortion,but now,dt’s out of d way,except i
wanted to offend God more.
We didnt meet Pastor Williams at home when we got
home,he was away to attend a meeting,i learnt.
He came back around 8pm.
He was surprised to see me in their house.
I only greeted him,he answered me,and went straight into
their room.
His wife followed him immediately,i guess she was going to
tell him why he saw me in their house.
About one hour later,they both came out of d room.
Pastor Williams was unusually silent,but i could read from
his face he didnt like what he heard..of course,i didnt
expect him to like it.
Then,Pastor Mrs came to my room after dinner and asked
“Sis Sewa,what do u want to do now?”.
“I dont even know ma.”
“Have u informed Bode?”
“No ma.I didnt even know i was pregnant.”
“I learnt he has gone back to school….Send a message to
him to inform him,let’s hear what he will say.Dont let him
know i’ve known about it o”.
“Okay ma.I’ll do dt.”
 
I sent a message to Bode immediately Mrs Williams left my
room,informing him about d pregnancy.
I expected his reply throughout d night,but he didnt.
D next day was sunday.I didnt feel like going to church.I
was too ashamed to see anybody’s face,though no one knew
about it yet,besides The Williams.I imagined what would
happen when d news went viral among church members dt i
was carrying Bode’s baby….having denied dt i was in a
relationsh¡p with him earlier..Oh my God! How did i find
myself in ds mess?.
Then i thought of my dad.
Eeeeh!.My dad!!.
He trusted me so much.
I was his pride,his angel,d apple of his eyes.
How would he take it?.
I have disappointed him.
And my two elder sisters.
None of them had a child before marriage,even Sis Tiwa
was still trusting God for d fruit of d womb then,its only Sis
Temi dt had a baby girl,expecting d second one.
Oh!..I’ve disappointed many people.
And Bode’s mum?.Wouldnt she think i lured her son to
sleep with me?.Wont she see me as a cheap girl?.
As i thought of these things,tears was flowing freely from
my eyes.
Mrs Williams came to tell me to get dressed for service.
I told her i wasnt feeling like going to church.
She said “okay,its fine. Just make sure u seek d face of
God for forgiveness,mercy n d way out.”
I said thank u ma.
They left.
I switched off my phone.
Then i started thinking again and again,weeping and
asking God for forgiveness.
I also prayed for His mercy and way out,as Mrs Williams
told me.
After d prayer,i put on my phone,and almost
immediately,Bode’s message came in.
I read d message which went like ds..”I was devastated by
ur message. I think d only solution is abortion. I thought
about it tru out d night n dt i think is d only way out. I’m
very sorry for any inconvenience ds might have caused u.”
I threw d phone on d bed.
I said to myself “how i wish it was dt easy.”
As a matter of fact,maybe i would have agreed with him, if
ds woman was not involved,but now,i just have to bear d
consequencies:d shame,reproach,rejection and anything
dt comes from it.
I threw myself on d bed,covered my mouth with a pillow n
scre-med into it.
JESUS!.JESUS!!..Pls have mercy on me….ds is too much for
me.
While doing ds,i heard d Pastor’s car moving into d
compound. I quickly got up,wiped my face n pretended to
be fine.
Soon Pastor Mrs was in d room.
“How was ur day my dear”.
“I was praying ma”.
“And weeping at d same time”. She said, smiling.
I didnt answer.
I showed her Bode’s message.
She read it n said “i knew it. I knew dt would be his
option.”
Then she sat beside me on d bed,hugged me n said “Listen
my darling,there’s nothing new under heaven. Many people
have gone tru ds route before,and many will still go tru it.
I’m sure if not for divine intervention,u could have
considered abortion as Bode suggested. But sometimes we
offend God while trying not to offend man. Dont use sin to
cover sin. God is d Ultimate. Once He has forgiven u,it
doesnt matter if anybody doesnt.
Now,i will tell u  d story of my own life.”
What did she say?.
We’ll know in d next part.
