*WHEN YOU WERE THERE*
Episode 31
.... uncle, her numbers are not going through.
Pat said to the two brothers.
You told her?
Felix asked, looking furious.
Yes i did.
Kester responded, sitting.
How could you?
Felix said, flaring up in anger.
Do you ever stop thinking about yourself and thought for once how that Lady will be feeling right now??
Your selfish and insensitive attitude has made up the whole thing.
Felix said, standing in front of Kester who was now seated.
You are the one who is selfish and self centered.
Kester replied, standing up.
If you talk back at me Kester, I'll hit you like the little brother that you'll ever remain.
Felix said calmly.
Pat walked away and left for the hospital.
If you had allowed me to tell her at my time without threat and boundaries, all this wouldn't have happened.
Kester continued, ignoring Felix's threat.
What exactly did you tell her?
Felix asked, leaning his back on the wall.
I told her that i was the one that raped her about 2years ago and that golden is my daughter.
Kester said, sitting calmly.
That's the point!
Felix said aloud.
Your focus was the baby and not the wrong done.
She already knows that the outcome of the rape is the baby, do you really have to tell her the baby is yours?
You were supposed to focus on making right your wrong and not claiming the baby.
You see why u said you are selfish??
Felix said, looking straight at Kester.
Kester scratched his head in regret and was silent.
You never cared on how this Lady will feel knowing that her best friend and supposed brother in law is her worst night mare?
That lady is just around 22-23years old, and she's been through a lot already.
Kester,
This might shock you,
But my fear is not loosing her,
Because if God does not keep her for me, neither can I.
My fear was seeing her get hurt.
I promised her never to let any hurt come near her and to stand by her, protecting her from being hurt.
That was my focus when I instructed you to stay away from her.
That was my focus when I said I was going to tell her myself and after our wedding.
Because she's a virtuous woman, and won't run out of her home, that way, she'll be closer and I can heal her.
Felix said, almost in tears.
Kester!
You just hurt an Angel,
And my heart is bleeding.
Felix continued, trying hard not to cry.
Kester bowed his head in regret and was silent.
What else did you tell her?
Felix asked, walking around restlessly.
Nothing,
Kester said still with bowed head.
She only asked me if you were aware and I told her yes.
Kester said in fear.
You did what????
Felix screamed, turning to face Kester and his phone fell.
And she slapped me.
Kester continued.
Kester you have practically torn my heart into pieces.
Felix said as tears began to flow.
Leave!!!
Leave before I slap you too!
Felix said in anger, rubbing his palm against each other.
Brother,
Am sorry.
Kester said quietly.
I'll leave!
Felix said and walked away.
Pat got to the hospital and no trace of Mona.
She asked the nurses and she was told that, she might have gone with the doctor to his house.
She collected the address and left for the doctor's house.
It's late already,
Just sleep here this night, and by tomorrow we'll talk better.
The doctor's wife told Mona after a long silent.
She led Mona Into a room and showed her around.
Have your bath,
I'll bring in your meal, eat and sleep, your baby is in good hands.
She said, leaving the room.
Mona just fell on the matrass.
She was tired of crying as there was no more tears flowing.
Golden is already sleeping in the maid's back.
Few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, it was Pat.
She introduced herself and golden was handed over to her as she and the doctor's maid slept in the same room.
Mona's food was brought but she was fast asleep.
Felix had gone to a hotel to lodge.
He prayed all night for Mona, crying on his kneels.
At night, the doctor and his wife went to their garden, there they prayed all night for Mona, praying for fast healing and strength.
Kester was awake all through the night at Mona's house.
He was restless and thinking.
He could not pray but sometimes muttered few words.
At dawn,
Mona was still fast asleep.
Felix was dressed up and headed for Mona's place, hoping she would have come.
Kester was up too,
He laid, facing the ceiling.
The doctor's wife knocked on Mona's room for morning devotion.
She reluctantly woke up with swollen eyes,
Got to the living room and everyone was seated.
She was surprise to see Pat.
After the devotion,
The doctor's wife called Mona into her room to talk to her.
Pat left the house with golden.
Mona dear,
Hope you slept well?
The doctor's wife asked.
Mona just nodded.
She got up from where she was sitting and sat next to Mona, holding her hand.
Do you know why my husband brought you home?
She asked Mona, rubbing her hand and looking straight at her.
Mona shook her head.
Its because he saw something wrong with you,
Something we can make right.
She said smiling.
When I said "we"
I mean Jesus and I.
Am a counsellor and a psychologist.
She said, getting up and giving Mona a glass of water.
I have not brushed my teeth.
Mona told her, refusing to collect the water.
I know,
Just drink.
She insisted.
Mona collected the water and drank the whole glass, dropping the empty glass down, she breath for relief.
Two things just happened now,
The doctor's wife said.
It's either you were thirsty and refused drinking water because you haven't brushed your teeth, or you thought you were not thirsty or don't know how thirsty you are until you tasted the water.
She said, trying to catch Mona's eyes.
She was silent for some seconds and continued.
Do you know why am talking to you so early without pre information?
She said and continued without waiting for Mona's response.
Because now you are null and no emotions or prepared thought and speech in your heart.
The doctor's wife said and paused.
Do you have anything to say?
She asked.
No ma.
Mona shook her head.
What's the name of your fiancé brother?
She asked.
Kester,
Kehinde Ajayi.
Mona responded.
OK,
And your fiancé.
Felix Ajayi.
Mona said.
Good!
Do you know that Kester have no right whatsoever to hurt you this bad?
She asked, looking straight at Mona.
Yes ma.
Mona nodded, raising up her head to catch her gaze.
But do you also know that God is in the center of a this?
She continued, expecting a reaction from Mona.
God!
Mona said angrily and surprise.
He made me pass through all this?
She asked.
Not exactly so.
The doctor's wife replied, smiling.
But have you noticed that each process you went through has made you a burning and a shining light?
She said.
That process did not just bring you out strong and made you a real woman, it also led to the salvation of Kester.
She added.
Mona laughed angrily.
OK,
I get it!
So God took me through this process of severe agony because of the salvation of Kester's soul?
No!
The doctor's wife replied emphatically.
The devil meant it for bad,
But God being the great Master planner and game changer, converted it for His good.
Remember
A believer can never be disadvantaged.
Romans 8:28.
"And we know!"...
Apostle Paul sounded so assured.
"And we know that all things"...
All things including those we call bad things and those the devil thought for evil.
.... He continued by saying " works together for good"...
So its working together for good, and it's only permitted to work for your good,
Or else, it won't work,
So if it worked, then it's for your good.
The doctor's wife said, flipping through the scripture, she opened the verse and read through Romans 8:28;
"And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
She read and paused.
Mona sat quietly, listening to her.
Mona dear,
The devil meant it for bad,
But God was somewhere in the picture, working it out for good.
The doctor's wife said smiling.
Mona smiled a little.
Do you love Felix.
She asked Mona, looking straight at her.
Mona nodded.
Then go back to him.
A virtuous woman does not run from problems, she fix it.
And Mona,
When the Bible was talking about the proverb 31 woman, he was actually talking about Mona Lisa.
The doctor's wife said to Mona, getting up to sit very close to her.
Its not so easy,
Mona said, controlling tears from her eyes.
Yes it's not,
And no one is telling you to forget all you have been through Mona,
Do you know why?
Because you went through it, you didn't stop in it,
You went through it.
She emphasized.
Mona nodded.
Mona dear,
You have become a very strong woman.
I love your strength.
I don't understand why I have to go through all this.
Mona said in tears.
You don't need to.
The doctor's wife replied.
Or do you understand why Felix's wife had to die for him to fall in love with you?
She asked Mona.
Mona shook her head, thinking over the question.
So you don't need to understand, darling.
The devil plotted Jesus crucifixion, little did he know that God was in the center of the plan, redeeming man.
Who would have thought that raping someone would lead to salvation?
Or do you think you are the first person Kester raped?
You are certainly not the only virgin he has had sex with or probably raped, but yours was what broke the Carmel's back.
Yes you backslided, like you thought,
But yet, The Lord strategically placed Felix in the picture.
Why do you think now that two wealthy believers, who are brothers are fighting over you?.
A rape victim, with a child to show for it.
How many beautiful, single ladies who are virgins are married today in our society?
Because The Lord have like a gold, purified you,
You have become the desire of kings and noble men.
This can only be God, Mona.
Can't you see God's hand upon your life?
The doctor's wife said to Mona who have broken down in tears.
I conclude with this; Psalm 23:4 said; yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow Of death, I'll fear no evil, for thou art with me; thine rod and thine staff, they comfort.
Now note;
You are walking through, the only place the Bible said you are seated is in heavenly places and not the valley of the shadow of death.
Also dear, its even shadow of death, not death itself, and shadows don't hurt.
Jesus had already conquered death and grave, all that's left are shadows.
Lastly and most comforting is that, you are not walking through it alone, he said, "for thou art with me.
So dear,
You are passing through it,
And guess what? Its a simply a shadow and above all, Immanuel is with you.
She concluded.
Mona went on her kneels sobbing.
I love you Lord,
Am so sorry I never saw it this way,
You are the Best and I love You for ever.
Mona cried on her kneels.
The doctor's wife knelt with her and the doctor came in and joined the prayer.
They all prayed.
Mona bath and left for home after much gratitude, feeling strong and refreshed.
