A text message entered Kehinde’s phone late in the night and he couldn’t contain his joy when he saw it was from Jumoke.
??
“Good evening Oma oba. How are you
and the preparation for your wedding?
There’s a point in life when one has
no choice than to let go of what he/she
cherish so much in order to make way
for better things. I guess am at that very
point in my life right now.
Kenny, I don’t know whether I should say,
‘I forgive you’ or ‘I re-lease you’. But from
the depth of my heart, I let go of all my
anger and grievances against you.
I’m sorry for the horrible text messages
I s£nt to you, I s£nt them out but I have
renounced them alre-ady.
plea-se, I want you to be a brother which I
never had to me. Also, pray for me to find
love again.
From Jumoke Alade. ”
??
The text message re-ad and he couldn’t but dial her number immediately.
“Jumo, thank you so much.” He said over the phone immediately she picked the call.
“I’m sorry for all the hurts I caused you, I’ve been praying for you and I as-sure you un-der God that you will find better love than I could have ever offered you in this life soon. Jumo, you are a nice girl, I know God will settle you..” Kehinde kept pouring out his heart and they both did not know when tears began to drop from their eyes.
“Thank you.” Were the only word she could reply him amidst tears.
“I will call you tomorrow.” Kehinde said calmly when he noticed she was also crying and the call ended abruptly.
He slumped on his be-d, looked intently into the space for some minutes as the events of the past years pla-yed itself before him and he lifted up his two hands and said.
“Thank you my Ebeneezer, thus far you have brou-ght me. So Lord, help me live the remaining years of my life to your glory.” He prayed in tears and forwarded the text message to Sade…

➡A week later, Sade and Kehinde had a glamorous wedding which got everyone talking both in the city and in the village as the oba and his queen gifted Sade a br@nd new car for being instrumental to the healing of the queen and as a way of showing her that she is very much welcome into the royal family.
Receiving the car keys from Kehinde’s elder sister who pres£nted the car gift on behalf of the royal family, Sade couldn’t hold back the tears gushing out of her eyes.
“I’m the first woman from my lineage to own a car.” She said to herself as she received the car keys and cried into Kehinde’s arms while the mammoth crowd seated pres£nt in the five thousand seaters capacity reception hall watched in admiration as Kehinde pat her back gently smiling handsomely.
“Hmm..this God is somehow o. I remember how we gossipped this Sade of girl back when she got pregnant outside wedlock, but look how God have honoured her in the same city she was once disgraced simply because she returned back to God in total repentance.
I’m beginning to give my life a second thought seriously, all these secret immoral lives we are living is no longer ma-king s-en-se to me at all. Her life is really worthy of emulation to me o..” A girl who was once in the same choir dep@rtment with Sade told her friend while the reception was ongoing with them watching from the back where they were seated.
“That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking too. Sometimes, I get tired of life itself. See, after this her wedding; am going to get close to her and learn from her. I even heard she would be re-leasing her music albu-m next month.” Her friend replied and they both reached an agreement to get close to her.
❤
Sade’s aged parents sat at the high table clothed in sewn quality Yoru-ba native wear popularly known as Asoke and their joy could not be quantified watching the glory surrounding the same daughter whom they had once given up on.
Doctor Iyk was all over Jumoke throu-gh out the wedding.
“Guy, you didn’t tell me Jumoke has been in this town.” Iyk couldn’t wait till after the wedding before whispering into Kehinde’s ear.
“So?” Kehinde replied suspiciously.
“Not what your thinking guy, you know I used to like her back then even before you guys started d@t!ng. Witnessing this your wedding today, I don’t even know how am feeling inside my heart.
I desperately nee-d a wife too,after all am not getting younger..” Doctor Iyk explained and kehinde kept looking intently into his eyes.
“Guy you are not talking.” Iyk said with a surprise look and Kehinde swallowed ha-rd before replying him.
“So, are you alre-ady considering her for marriage?” Kehinde asked, wearing a serious look.
“Yeah, you and I know Jumoke is a nice girl. Had I know you guys would not end up together, I wouldn’t have gotten into that…” He was still talking and Kehinde cut in.
“It’s alright, but you still nee-d to pray about it. I don’t want that girl to experience any hurt in relationsh!pagain and at the same time, I don’t want you to make another mistake in marriage.” Kehinde explained carefully and Iyk nodded his head with un-derstanding.
“Guy, I beg shift make I concentrate on my wife. It’s my day!”
Kehinde said jokingly then gave him a mild push and they both bur-sted into a silent laugh and he went back straight to where Jumoke was seated in the reception hall.
“Jumo dear, sorry I went out to attend to something.” He said as he sat down close to her and she nodded her head.
“Chai! It’s really been a long time o. I remember those days on the campus that you will see me coming to you and you will start running,” he said jokingly and they both started laughing.
“But come to think about it, why were you so much afraid of me then?” Iyk asked smiling.
“Nothing, I heard you were a cultist and secondly, I always see you with different bad girls.” Jumoke explained calmly.
“Well, I was into women then but definitely not a cultist.” Iyk said regrettably then continued.
“Thank God for His saving grace, am now born again.” He said with a dry smile and she turned to look at him properly.
“Congratulations Iyk. I’m also born again and sincerely speaking, it’s been awesome knowing God.” She said and from there they went on sharing salvation experiences and other things,and he didn’t make the mistake of forgetting to collect her number.

The wedding reception c@m£ to an end at some minutes past 5pm, people who were in attendance left with different kinds of wedding gifts and Iyk drove the latest couple to the h0tel booked for their honeymoon.
When they checked into the h0tel, Iyk gave Kehinde a thumb up and he got the message as they both started laughing but Sade didn’t un-derstand why the two friends were laughing.
“Spoilt Igbo boy, come and start going let me enjoy my wife.” Kehinde said and they exchanged handshakes before he finally left smiling n@ûghty.
“And, can I get a full ro-mantic hvg from my bride?” Kehinde said sweetly when he returned from locking up the door. He was pu-lling off his suit jacket and walking up to Sade who suddenly started arranging things that were not in any way scattered.
“Sweetheart, leave those things first. There’s nothing there to arrange.” He said and tingled her wait from the back and she jumped up in response to the titillating s-en-sation wearing a feigned frown on her face.
“Brother Kehinde st©p plea-se.” She said smiling and frowning at the same time.
“St©p what? I want the first ro-mantic hvg from my bride plea-se.” Kehinde said tea-singly with his arms opened wi-de to receive her but she turned around again,bent down and began to search for what was not missing.
“What are you looking for? Let me help you.” The disappointed but never relenting Kehinde said squ-atting down close to her.
“Nothing, I want to take my bath.” She said and gently re-leased her hand from from his hand trying as much as possible to avoid his emotion filled eyes.
“That’s better, we would bath together.” He said and began to pu-ll off everything on him. She stole a look at him as he made to pu-ll his bo-xer then looked away quic-kly.
“We are not bathing together plea-se,I want to bath alone.” She said then he paused and stared at her in surprise…
“You want to bath alone?” He asked,trying to un-derstand her reasons but she just said
“Yes” and kept quiet without looking at him.
“Alright, go ahead and bath alone if that’s what you want.” He said and climbe-d over the be-d.
“No, you go and bath first while get myself re-ady.” She replied and he smiled dryly then climbe-d down from the be-d and entered the bathroom.
“plea-se, help get my towel and soap..” He shouted from the bathroom and switched the showers on.
“You know you would nee-d them but entered the bathroom without collecting them.” She shouted back to him.
“Yes, I want my wife to bring them to the bathroom for me.” He said laughing, then continued.
“plea-se hurry up, I’m waiting for the soap.” He said and she grudgingly collected the towel and soap,walked gently close to the bathroom door and stretched her hand out for him to collect the them.
“Here they are.” She said from outside the door.
“Come inside plea-se, am in the bathtub and I can’t climb down now.” He replied laughing inside his heart as his plan was to pour water on her and then pu-ll her into the bathtub to bath with him.
“Brother Kehinde, you have to climb down o, because am not entering that bathroom either.” She said, pretending to be angry.
” Sweetheart, there’s no snake inside here. Bring the soap for me to bath before cold enters my b©dy. I’m freezing here o.” He said,faking seriousness.
“Oh…! Brother Kehinde, you are looking for trouble o. Why didn’t you carry this thing along with you in the first place.” She angrily entered the bathroom, looking away from him and just as she was about handling the soap over to him, he gr@bb£d her hands instead and stirred the water violently we-tting her b©dy in the process.
“Haba! Brother Kehinde look at what you have done now.” Not expecting that he would pour water on her she flared up,then continued.
“plea-se, leave my hand.” She struggled to break loose from his hold.
” Sorry my love ,since you are alre-ady we-t,just join me let’s bath together.” He said trying to pu-ll her into the tub.
“Leave me, brother Kehinde leave me alone.” She struggled and he had to re-lease her seeing that she was determined not to bath with him and she hastened out of the bathroom.
?
Few minutes later, he c@m£ out from the bathroom smiling but she wore a frown.
“I’m sorry sweet, was just trying pl@ywith you. You can now go and have your bath.” he said trying to t©uçh her but she stood up and started walking into the bathroom with everything she nee-ded. He turned around and looked at her again as she entered the bathroom,finding it difficult to un-derstand why she was acting strange.
He swallowed ha-rd then continued to clean his b©dy, applied his favorite roll-on and perfume then climbe-d over to the be-d. He l@yon the be-d, pressing his phone and waiting for her to come but it took like eternity for Sade to come out of the bathroom.
“Sweetheart, are you still there?” He asked tea-singly with a raised voice.
“Yes.” She responded.
“Do you nee-d my help?” He asked, laughing to himself.
“No!!!” She replied almost immediately and he bur-sted into a loud laugh. It was getting to almost an hour that Sade entered the bathroom and he was beginning to feel sleepy, but he kept struggling to stay awake but his tired b©dy couldn’t struggle much longer as he surrendered to the power of nature and sle-pt off…
