[STORY] AYOMIDE (Episode 06)

Episode 06.

“You should go to sleep my dear. It’s past 1a.m and you haven’t closed your eyes. What is the problem?”
For the past 2 hours she has been praying and was surprised to see her husband staring at the ceiling.

“Are you not worry Adenike?” He said sitting up.
” Worry? About what my dear?
“We don’t have any child to call our own yet you don’t appear worried. You’re always calm and happy”
Sis Adenike kept quiet for long before responding.

” I shouldn’t be sad or sorrowful because I don’t have a child. Will my tears bring me any child? I am not the one that gives Children. At His own time, He will give me my own. Kola, when worry and depression hit, I quickly run to God so that I will not be swallowed. I think you should run to Him too or you will be consumed”
” 11years my love! I have turned to a laughing stock in the church. People make describe us with our childlessness. Do you know I struggle to go to church? Aaaaah! Sis Tolani has four kids now and God has not given me even one. Titi my younger sister that got married last year has her child now. O Lord what offence have we committed”
Sis Adenike took her husband’s hands in hers and placed them on her stomach.

“You are my crown and my very own prophet. You’re the one God gave me and we will carry our children. I am not afraid because in the history of man, God has not failed yet and He won’t start with me. I choose to stand firm because the God who answered Sarah and Hannah will answer me”
She placed his hands on her stomach.
” Your hands are on my stomach. Decree on my stomach and let it be established”
That night bro Kola prayed for Adenike like a wounded lion.
———————————–
It was a thing of joy when pastor Ezekiel paid them an August visit.
“God has remembered you bro Kola and sis Adenike. He delivered his message.
She praised and thanked God for His mercies.
“Soon I will be a father” bro Kola told his wife joyfully.
It was indeed a message of relief from Pastor Ezekiel.
Two, three, four and five months after Pastor Ezekiel’s prophecy, no sign of pregnancy. Bro Kola was worried. He Wondered why God was delaying. Meanwhile, sis Adenike had been sick. She couldn’t even lift herself from the bed, let alone eat.
“Are you sure you’re not pregnant” Adenike’s elder sister would ask.
“No sister mi. I have never missed my period not even this month.”
Everybody was worried about her condition. Today she’s strong and tomorrow she’s weak. It was just like that for sis Adenike until she slumped one afternoon.
“Your wife is pregnant” the doctor told the worried Kola.
“She can’t be doctor. Only last week, her period ended.”
“She’s 7 months gone sir.

“What?” What are you saying doctor. Her stomach is not big. But you always tell me she’s not pregnant doctor. ”
Well sir, I can’t explain it myself. All the test I carried out never gave me any positive results. Last week I did scan but I never found any child in her womb.”

When Kola broke the news to Adenike, though weak, she was happy.
The moment it was confirmed that sis Adenike was pregnant, her stomach started bulging out. Everyone started noticing that sis Adenike was pregnant. She became energized and strong. She was able to go to work and do other things. Kola took good care of her.

When her baby girl was born, alot of people were surprised. Her stomach wasn’t that big, they said. One said, I only just noticed last week and today she had given birth. For bro Kola and his wife, no amount of gossip could cut their joy short.
