Impregnate me or I die episode 5

Impregnate me or I die
Part five
 
‘Sir, this is the woman I told you about on
phone, she has been married for a year without a
child. Please kindly help her like you did for me
sir.’ Iya ibeji pleaded with prophet David.
‘Have you told her the terms and conditions?’
‘No sir, but I know she will cooperate because she needs a child desperately. I will excuse you now with her for further counseling.’ Iya ibeji stood up and was leaving me and prophet David alone in the room. I became afraid as she closed the door behind her. No prayers, no quoting of Bible, nothing religious at all.
 
‘Madam do you want to carry your baby or
not?’ He repeated same question Iya ibeji asked me as we entered the hotel. ‘Yes sir I want to carry my baby,’ I replied with fear all over me.
‘How do you want it, a male or female, twins or triplets?’ I didn’t know the conditions but I quickly said triplets. ‘That’s good madam, give me your hand.’ I stretched out my hands towards him and he looked at my palm like a man reading something on it. After two minutes he released my hand and went back to his seat.
Triplet is N600,000 with three weeks prayer camping. When you are ready you can inform iya ibeji. ‘You may go,’ he said. I took my bag and left his office in hurry to join Iya ibeji at the reception. ‘How did it go?’ She asked me.
‘Ma, I thought you said we are coming to see a prophet? This man in there is not a prophet of God. I didn’t see any Bible on his table neither did he offer a word of prayer. He charged me N600,000 for triplet with three weeks prayer camping. Ma, I doubt if I am interested, I am a Christian and I can’t do anything ungodly
because I want children. I will wait on God, his time is the best.’
 
Where on earth will I get N600,000 when I have not started working? There’s no way I can ask even N100,000 from my husband without him investigating what I want to use it for. If I have to lie to him it must be a well planned lie. But I am a Christian, I can’t pay N600,000 just to have baby.’
 
But how long will I wait for God? In my tears I told God to prove himself within three months or else I will give prophet David’s proposal a trial. “If you are God and you don’t want me to go back to prophet David you must answer me within three months.” I gave God ultimatum. I became a chronic liar as I had to tell my husband many lies to cover up my visit to prophet David Evans.
My husband must not know I visited a prophet without his consent, it will be a serious issue if he knows. My thoughts were divided, should I consider prophet David’s proposal or not?
 
One month came and passed nothing happened. I
made life really difficult for my husband within
this time. His fasting lifestyle became a big
challenge in the home. I became worried for the
fasting because he was getting leaner and he began to lose interest in the bedroom. This became our major reason for quarrel daily. This night you must break this fasting, my ovulation starts today and I can’t let you continue the fast and let my ovulation time pass. ‘Sweet heart,
why haven’t you conceived all this time you have been observing your ovulation period? Let’s deal with the root cause, the Bible says this kind goeth not out but by fasting and prayer, he quoted. I wasn’t interested in the scripture he’s quoting, I wanted to maximize this time because the ultimatum I gave to God will elapse next month.
 
Iya ibeji did not allow me to breath since our visit
to prophet David. ‘You don’t have to wait for
three years like I waited when you have solution
to your problem at the tip of your finger. All those
you wedded around the same time are all
carrying their babies except you. Will you wait until you get frustrated by your husband’s
people? You better make hay while the sun
shines,’ Iya ibeji encourage me. Her words
penetrated me even to my marrows, “all those
you wedded around the same time are all
carrying their babies except you”. These words echoed in my ears now and then.
 
The three months ultimatum I gave to God
elapsed and I was still not pregnant. Obviously
God wanted me to go for prophet David’s
proposal. But why me? Why do I have to go
through this? What’s my sin before God? What is
my reward for serving him all these years? Why will God abandoned me this much? Where are his
promises? How do I raise N600,000? What will I
be doing for three weeks camping with prophet
David, I know for sure it isn’t going to be
prayer. I picked my phone and scrolled through
iya ibeji’s number. ‘Good evening iya ibeji……’
 
 
‘I have made up my mind ma, I want to see
Prophet David but I have some challenges ma.’
‘What are the challenges? Don’t worry when
we see in church tomorrow we will talk of the
challenges. I am happy that you have finally
made up your mind.’ She was so happy about my decision. My challenges are how to raise
N600,000 and how to do all these without my
husband knowledge.
My husband was suspicious of my new
relationsh¡p with iya ibeji because I have never
told him anything about her nor the topic of our discussions yet we were always together after
every of our services. I had to keep my husband
waiting most times just to see iya ibeji. My
husband could not hold his peace anymore
because today’s discussion with Iya ibeji was
just too long. I knew he will insist on knowing the subject of our discussion today so I started
planning out lies before he confronted me.
 
Just like I predicted, my husband insisted I must
tell him what I have been discussing with Iya
ibeji. Nothing serious, she has been encouraging
me and praying along with us on the issue of my
inability to conceive. He wasn’t convinced but
he had to accept my explanation like that. All through the night I couldn’t sleep because of
the terrible things iya ibeji suggested to me. How
can I sleep with Chief Mike just for N600,000?
Things I didn’t do while I was single, why I’m
doing it now that I am married? This is pure
adultery. But I needed the money to pay Prophet David. After all it is just one meeting with Chief
Mike. I will do it, God has to forgive me. If he could
forgive Sally for all the atrocities she committed
why won’t he forgive me for just a one time
adultery? Chief Mike is considerate for requesting
just a one time meeting for N600,000. I made up my mind to do it.
 
I had never seen Chief Mike before until iya ibeji
took me to his guest house. He was an elderly
man in his late 60s. He kept to his promise as he
handed over a polythene bag containing N500
notes of N600,000 to me. We didn’t talk too
much as it all sounded like a deal. Iya ibeji was glad when I came out of his room with the black
polythene bag. ‘Congratulations, you will soon
be a mother,’ she held my hand and we walked
out of the guest house together. But I was really
ashamed because all of chief’s staff who
attended to us knew what I came for. A married woman for that matter.
 
I had crossed the first hurdle, I have the money
but how was I going to make it for the two
weeks camping with prophet David without my
husband’s knowledge? I kept the money with
Iya ibeji because there was no how I could keep
it without my husband discovering it. Two weeks after I got the money there was no idea of the
type of lie I could tell my husband until he came
home that day with a letter for a three weeks
course in Port Harcourt. I was so happy because
this came at the right time. My husband was
perplexed with my reaction towards his course compared to when he was promoted.
 
The day my husband left for Port Harcourt, I left
for Abaji the following day. I made all payments
and was given my room. It was room 5. I was
there all alone until around 8pm when a lady
knocked at my door, ‘who is there? I asked.
‘It’s me Stella.’ I headed towards the door since it was a lady’s voice. We greeted and she
told me the lord Bishop will be seeing me by
9:45pm tonight and I should get set. I lost my
peace after Stella told me Prophet David will be
seeing me by 9:45pm. What exactly is he coming
to do? I couldn’t eat the food they served me because of fear. But I had reached the point of no
return. At exactly 9:45pm, there was a knock at
my door and I knew it must be Prophet David but
for courtesy sake I asked, who is there? It was
Stella who responded, “the lord Bishop”. I
opened the door as Stella led him in and took her leave. I couldn’t look at his face because I knew
I was in for something dirty. He sat on the bed as
he opened his bag and brought out a bottle water
and stretched it to me, “take drink, this is the
blood of my new covenant that was shed for
you”. I know I normally hear this quotation whenever our pastor wants to serve us holy
communion in church. I took the water and drank
as he instructed. The next thing, he pulled of his
clothes and was standing before me stark unclad.
