Chapter 48 EPISODE FORTY-EIGHT

Welcome to my humble abode." Mrs Mabel Samuel greeted Righteous and Anu, beaming with great smiles. She has this beautiful dimple that makes her smile special.
"Thank you ma" Both of them replied still ruminating on how to continue the speech.
Anu picked up an unusual boldness given by the help of the holy spirit and declared,
"Ma, we were so blessed by the wonderful word rendered last month on our campus. You were simply amazing. From that day on, you became my role model." Her sweet voice coupled with the content of her message melted Mrs Mabel's heart, she grinned and raised her hand up in adoration to God.
"I was also blessed by your ministration which was divine, and timely ma. I also see you as a woman to mentor my life, and that is why we came. Please be our mentor." Righteous declared with all seriousness.
"Wow, you ladies brought tears to my eyes. Thank you very much for believing in me. Being a mentor to two intelligent medical students, is no doubt, a great honour bestowed on me, and I am not taking this for granted. I pray that God will grace your life more and more." She replied and they echoed, "Amen"
"Ma, we are also here for counseling. You need to know about me. I was once a victim of rape. I was forcefully taken by a man as a virgin. I packed into his house without proper Marriage rites, but had to pack out when he became abusive. It was a toxic relationship and I have vowed never to return to him or to get married again. Men are scams ma." Anu revealed with a furrowed brow and pouted lips.
"Hmm, I'm sorry for the bad experience you had with the man, but not all men are scams please. Your personal experience should not deter you from enjoying a lovely home. Out there are wonderful men." She raised her hand to indicate everywhere.
"If I may ask, do you have a child for him?"
"Yes ma. A lovely boy that looks so much like the dad."
"Ha ! You may reconsider your decision my dear. The boy needs a lovely home to live. Where is the boy?"
"He is with my mother and doing fine."
"Beautiful my dear. But I will suggest that you start praying for the man. He may change and may eventually marry you in the right way. Please don't give up on him. This is a test of life. Forgive him from your heart. Let's see what the Lord will do." Mrs Mabel advised Anu.
"But ma, do you think it will work? It seems that you do not understand what it means to be forcefully taken by a sadist." Anu demanded feeling the bitterness rising up in her.
"Heh, what did you just say? No understanding? Ha ha ha. Do you know what it means to be taken by your own adopted father from the tender age of ten? Every night, this evil man pounced on me until one day, I got hold of his rod and hit it hard. By that time, I was in the junior secondary school. I then ran away to my uncle's house.
Thinking it would be better. Do you know that this man jumped into my room around twelve in the night and have his way. He continued until I went to the university. That was when I became free and never returned to him again. From that day, I hated….."She broke out weeping profusely refusing to be comforted.
Anu rose up and went to cuddle her until she became pacified.
"I'm sorry ladies, but the memories became fresh." She apologized, still sobbing.
"But ma, you are still very hurt like me. You need to let go, and forgive them. I was also a victim of this recently. It was so painful. I felt like dying." Righteous uttered.
"Even you? Oh my goodness! Have you gotten over it?"
"Yes, I opened up to my friend here. We talk about this almost everyday to help me. Now the effect of the pains are leaving me. I'm healing. I'm here to totally heal because I don't want it to affect my real husband ma."
"How do you mean?"
"Ha I heard of a woman, who was so bitter that she refused to allow her husband s*x for a long time. The man started to sleep around."
"Why was he doing that? Okay, he is not a believer, no doubt." Mrs Mabel answered.
"He is a deacon in his church and his wife is a powerful preacher. The husband almost r*pe one of our sisters on campus. It's terrible ma."
"What the hell?" She screamed.
"It's the truth ma. My advice to the woman is that she should forgive those evil ones and return to her husband, spirit,soul and body. If not, the home will collapsed."
"You are damn right my dear. "
As if the Lord sent this ladies into my life and home. I'm guilty of the same thing. Oh my husband has suffered tremendously from the faults of those men. I need to redress before it's too late. She thought in her heart.
She prayed for Anu and Righteous. They left to the campus, uncertain if she has gotten the message.
But they vowed to be praying for her total healing.
Many are out there, who need healing from trauma. May they open up their hearts to those who can help them out. May they also be free from pains.
Mrs Mabel prayed in her heart. She lost her peace from that moment, because of her discovery.
