[STORY] FLIRTATIOUS (Episode 53)

Episode 53.

“What?” I asked

“That has always been the plan” Leni replied

“So you are just going to let him go like that?”

“Promise, I think it is the will of God” Leni replied

“Will of God”

“My Aunty, Aunty Yemi has prophesied to me about him going back to his father”

“Aunty Yemi, who is that?” Who was the secret person in her life I didn’t know

“Oh! You don’t know her”

“Ok….”

“Promise I need you to help me with Roland and Greg. I need you to help me drop them off at school. I will give you the address”

“Sure”

******
I can’t say if it was the realization that Roland was my grandchild that made me have several dreams about him all night. I kept seeing him been dragged by a lady, and he kept screaming…
“Grandma, help, grandma help!”

****
As I sat waiting for Leni to get the boys ready, my mind was doing a lot of calculations,

“Is this how F.D will come for Greg, and as a boy, he would inherit all my labor? Never! I have to get a better and quicker plan….”

“The slow poison is too slow, I need to terminate these two boys since I no longer have access to the third boy” I reasoned

“What am I to do?

*******

The handover was seamless. I cried when I handed him over. Segun came with a lady, she looked liked she was in her late forties….

“She is my fiancée, we will be getting married next month” Segun said

“Oh congratulations… please take care of my son like he is yours”

“I will, he is my son already” She said smiling.

I concluded on not going to work that morning, as I was an emotional mess. I needed to talk to someone.

Definitely Aunty Yemi!

********

“Aunty Yemi, you are really a woman of God, Timothy’s father came here this morning to pick his son”

“Oh!”

“Yes”

“Did you hand him over like the Lord said”

“Yes…. but I am in pain”

“I understand”

“I hope someday, Marcus’ family won’t come and take away Roland from me” I said but it was more like an enquiry….

“Aunty, you didn’t answer me?”

“I didn’t know it was a question”

“Aunty Yemi, it is a question…. please ask God if Marcus is going to come for his son too?”

“Why don’t you ask Him yourself?”

“I am not close to God like that”

“Why? What’s stopping you?”

“I don’t know …. Aunty Yemi, my life is just messed up… What if Marcus comes for his son, what if F.D takes Greg too, what will be left of me? Aunty Yemi, I have no root, I have no marriage to hold on to “

“You can have your root in Jesus. Leni, having children or marriage is not what defines your existence on earth. You are someone, without a man or children… Leni, who are you without Marcus, F.D and the Kids?”

“I don’t know honestly”

“Then you need to find out… Leni, what if you are stripped of everything you have right now, will you live or die?”

“Aunty, if I lose my children… I sure will die”

“That should not be the case…. Leni I was stripped of my child over thirty years ago, but today I have raised Sons and Daughters. When my son was taken from me, I thought I would die, I met Christ and through Him I started living again”

“You had a son?” I asked

“Yes…. and for years I never knew who he was, but yesterday I found out who he was….

“Who is he?”

“Not something I can disclose on the phone, I Will come over to your place by Saturday, when you are free.”

“I am actually free, I couldn’t go to work today. Let me text my address to you” I said. I seriously needed company.

“Okay”

Promise came home saying she had dropped the boys off, but she wanted to go shopping with Kira. She told me she would pick them up on her way back. It was convenient for me since Aunty Yemi was visiting. I didn’t want her to meet Promise…

“At this point, don’t you think you should stop all these hide and seek from Aunty Yemi. Let her know all that is going on in your life, so she can be of help” my inner man spoke to me.

*******

Aunty Yemi walked into the living room, and I watched how she looked around the house in awe….

“Aunty Yemi, I do not own the house. I am just squatting. The house belongs to a Mr….

“Mr. Teju” Aunty Yemi cut in and I took a pause

“You know him?” I asked excitedly

“I once lived in this house” Aunty Yemi said painfully…
