Episode 23
I unlocked it and gave it to him
âRead it!â I said as he collected it from me
âWhatâs this?â he asked and just placed my elder on the window and supported my chin with my palm.
âCrushed!â he read aloud â he must have seen the first page of the diary and when I realized he was engulfed in what he was reading, I used the opportunity to talk to God as way
âBut why Holy Spirit? Why did you hide this salient truth from me? Why oh Lord?â I asked, deeply in my heart and I felt the sign
He was actually near
He was going to speak!
âThere is time for everything!â that was the answer and I gasped
âSeriously!â
âYes dearie. Jesus waited till Lazarus died before he actually stepped into the situation. You remember what he said? He said, Lazarus is dead and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe, but let us go to himâ he explained to me and I was confused
âI donât understandâ I muttered
âIf you can remember the story of the Shunnamite woman whose son died- after she had met Elisha to narrate her ordeal, the prophet said something. Do you know?â
âOh, when Gehazi was trying to push her away from his master?â I asked to be sure
âYesâ the Holy Spirit replied me
âHe said Gehazi should leave her alone because her soul was vexed in her and that the Lord had hid it from him and had not told him what had happenedâ
âGood! He was saying anything he knows or did was not by any of his own virtue or power but only from God who reveal to him only what and when he pleasesâ
âWow! So it pleased the Lord that this was hid from us?â
âIt is just for His glory and pleasure. He doesnât do anything without any reasonâ
âReally! But the transplant and surgery and Mercy tooâŠhow do we go about that? How?â I was almost crying
âAll will be wellâ it was so reassuring that I just smiled
âReally!â I exclaimed until the sniffing of my husband called me back to reality.
I looked towards his side and his eyes were soaked form serious weeping.
âI canât believe this!â he exclaimed
âI couldnât believe at first tooâ I replied, shaking my head
âAh! This world is wicked oâŠthat young girl has really sufferedâŠOh my God!â
âYes, our daughterâŠâ I corrected and looking up at me with his teary eyes, he nodded
âYes, our daughter!â he agreed for the first time and we smiled together
âWe really have a lot to do. Would you still be able to drive or should I take over?â I asked and just could nod
As he turned the ignition key, his phone rang and I checked the name
âDr. Jamesâ I announced as my heart started racing uncontrollably.
âHuh?â my husband asked too, so afraid too
âPick itâ I said, giving the phone to him
âNo, you pick itâ he pushed it back at me and I picked the call with my shaky hands
âHello docâ
âHello, please I need your attention at the hospital nowâ he said
âI hope there is noâŠ.â I was saying when he dropped the call
My husband looked into my eyes expectantly
âWhat?â he asked
âThat we should come to the hospital quicklyâ I replied turning the ignition as he sped off with full speed, I held my breath as I prayed that we would arrive our destination safely
We jumped into the intensive care unit where Jean was and we were so shocked!
âJean!â we chorused almost together
We were both panting from ear to ear as we had ran breathlessly to the ward earlier.
âMum!â he called out, giving a sick but enthralling smile
âDad!â he called out too, his dimples, resurfacing on his face
âOh my God!â I screamed as we ran towards him and held on to him in a very warm and peaceful embrace while Doctor James watched on, a deep smile on his face
âMy baby!â I cried
âMy son!â Seyi cried out as well as we tried to disengage from him
âWhat happened?â Seyi asked the doctor and he smiled
âMiracle!â he exclaimed
I looked up at him, not sure I heard him well
âHe wouldnât need the surgery again?â I asked almost excitedly
My husband looked at the doctor expectantly too
âWell, funny enough, after running some tests on him immediately after you left, I found out that his bone marrow still function normally. All leukemia is gone! In fact, all is well with him. No qualms at allâ he said and I jumped up
âThe Holy spirit said all is well! Wow!â
Could it just be a test?
Oh not a testâŠ
A way of letting the secret that Mama had hidden for years to be revealed?
Wow!
