Elizabeth (my love race)
Episode 2
 
“Nobody is too ugly, poor, stupid, disabled to be your husband if God leads you. Dont struggle with Him o ” she said in her deep ijesha accent.
At this point, i fell to the floor and beat it hærd. I cried out with a shriek while Mama only watched on with apathy.
“God its you talking shae! I know already. Stop talking. Do you want me to run mad. Its too much. I am not ready for marriage sef, let it stop”
I heard, almost seven times confident than mine, a resounding ‘Amen’
… Matt…. Matt’s here. That’s his voice.
I turned back with great expectations and wide smile but no!
Why oh Lord! This guy again!
I charged at him with disgust
“What do you want from me? Are you kinda devilish? Please get thee behind me. Must you follow me about!”
I fell to the ground again with great disappointment. God really means this business o!
As i shook under the shock, a very confident, muscular hand reached my shoulder. Oh how I love muscular men!
But who is it?
I turned again to find Dave looking at me with pity. It was his hand.
“You are finding it difficult to do His will right?” he asked, almost childishly.
“yes i am. God isn’t being fair. U are too inferior to me. Me to you?? It can’t work” I said with hate
“I agree with you. Even i cant stoop so low to marry someone like you.” he replied
“what!” i exclaimed with pride. I was angry to the extent i was shaking from head to toe.
I have never been so embarrassed in my life. This lame guy talking to me anyhow, no way! It’s not God’s will, its hallucination.
 
I tried to stand up but i realised his hand was on my shoulder. I noticed he really had difficulty in bending.
 
Leaving aside my salvation for the moment, I threw his hand off my shoulders. He missed his step and down, he fell.
He let out a painful sound but i walked away as if nothing happened . He stretched his hands toward me to help him but I was hærdened.
As i left the church, i turned back to look at him. He looked at me with a dropped jaw as a drop of tears streamed down his face.
My sanity returned a bit. I shuddered
God, what have i done! What is happening to me!
I quickly dialled Bro John’s number. He is a friend who lived close by.
He came in no time to rush him to the hospital.
As Dave hung down John’s shoulders in pain, he looked back at me with ‘You could do this!’ kind of look.
It wasn’t my fault right? I just got irritated by what he said. Plus… Its a hærd thing to do shae!?
Whose fault is it really?
 
What really came over me!!!
I asked myself different ‘why’ questions. I was shocked at my behavior. I was not the kind of person to cause people pain, especially people with disabilities. I was always so conscious of them while dealing with them. But why this sudden behavior of mine?
As i laid on my bed, the scene of the wh0le incidence unfolded again. Tears welled up in my eyes and I knelt down to pray.
‘Lord i am sorry. I don’t want to regret it please forgive me..’
The room was blank! God wasn’t saying anything. I was so sad.
Then my phone rang…
It was Matt!
I  hissed
Me: Hello
