[STORY] SUSAN’S REVENGE (Episode 19)

Episode 19.

I walked as quietly as possible that he could not hear my footsteps. When I noticed he sensed my presence, I quickly spoke.
“George”, I called softly.

Of course, pregnancy is a normal thing. Anything can get pregnant. A goat, a dog, a hen and even a Christian hen”, I said and saw his eyes widened in shock.
“What do we do about the pregnancy?
The normal thing!” I continued.

“Don’t tell me you want me to murder someone? She replied and you told her she was exaggerating! It’s not a human. It’s called foetus. It’s yet to become human. Besides, it’s unwanted!
Then you told her to announce her immorality to her church.

Announce to your church pastor that you are a mother to be. Announce to the members of your congregation that you were such a good example of a Christian lady by birthing a child out of wedlock”, I said.
“Susan! Who are you?” He asked drifting backwards.
“Did I rape you?” I continued, ignoring his question.

“I never forced you into bed with me did I? You saw my terms and conditions and complied as a good girl you are! Did I hear you correctly? A Christian? You? What a joke! What does your Bible call the act of sleeping with someone you are not married to? Fornication right? I don’t care to know what you call yourself, but if truly there is anything called a Christian, you are not! You are an idiot! A disgrace to God! Even Muslims are far better than you. They obey Allah and do all his bidding. Look at you! What a disgrace!”

I poured out all he said, word for word. I walked up slowly to meet him. One step at a time.
“Oh my God! Susan what is happening?” He whispered.
“You are beginning to sound like…
“Chioma!” I interupted.
His eyes widened in shock.
“You’re her Ghost!” He asked and went on his knees.
“I’m not a Ghost Mr George!” I said and looked into his eyes.

“I only knew a lady who was so determined to kill you at all cost, because Chioma was her friend. You said you would never be able to escape the consequences of your actions. But I’m here tell you that if it were not for Jesus, you would have been a dead man by now.
Jesus told this lady to forgive you and she did” I looked into his eyes and smiled.

“George, he can help you escape the consequences. If only you allow him”,
His breath was rapid. He was already sweating even in the air-conditioned room.
“Who is this lady? He asked.
I wanted to tell him, immediately, I felt a restraint in my spirit.
So I kept quiet.
“Susan! He said and stood up quickly.

“Since you have chosen not to leave my office, then I’ll have to leave it for you”, he said and walked out, not giving me enough time to think.
“Why is this so difficult?” I ask in frustration.
“HE HAS MADE UP HIS MIND AND WANTS TO KEEP IT AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS SOUL. THE TRUTH IS CLEAR TO HIM, BUT HE REJECTED IT. HE HAS SUCH A STRONG WILL. IMAGINE IF SUCH A MAN HAS A STRONG WILL TO SERVE ME?” The inner voice whispered.
“So what can I do? My mission here is over! I’ve been fired!” I replied, still in his office.
“WHO TOLD YOU THAT? DON’T PICK THAT LETTER! IT’S NOT FOR YOU! I NEED YOU TO GO HOME AND PRAY!”

I quickly rushed out of the office and went for the staffs building. I took my bag and all the stuffs I came with and rushed out.
“Susan!” Sophia called running after me.
“Why the rush? What’s going on?” She asked.
“I’m fired!” I wanted to say, but my tongue cleaved to the roof of my mouth.
“SUSAN! I TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT FIRED!” Came the gentle reminder.
“Oh! I’m so sorry! But what do I tell her?”
“TELL HER SOMEONE IS CALLING YOU! DON’T TELL HER IT WAS ME”, He replied.
I turned to her.
“I got a call from a friend. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine!” I smiled and saw her tension eased.
“Okay!” She said and left.

I quickly rushed to where my car was parked and got in. I was already blasting in tongues as I drove. The burden to pray was so heavy on me that I felt like bursting on the way.

As soon as I got to my house. I hurriedly took off my heels and ran bare footed to my door. Someone who saw me would think I am crazy. I opened the door and locked it behind me. Throwing my keys, heels and bag on the floor, I burst into tongues.

I was like someone who was pressed and needed to go to the restroom. Chai, I was groaning fervently. Beads of sweat were dropping from my face. I prayed until all the energy in me was almost gone.
“SUSAN! GO AND COOK! Came the instruction.
I was surprised. Hot prayer sections was going on and instead of giving me prayer point, he was telling me to go and cook.

“SO YOU ARE MORE SPIRITUAL THAN ME ABI? GO AND COOK FOR ME!” He teased.
Laughter and joy bubbled within me as I rose up and went into the kitchen.
“COOK BEANS OH! IT’S BEANS WE ARE EATING TODAY! I’M TIRED OF EATING NOODLES!” He said.
I started laughing.
“Daddy, you don’t eat physical food Jor! Which one is we are eating? I’m the only one eating here”, I replied.
“BUT I’M INSIDE YOU! SO ANYTHING YOU DO TO THE LEAST OF MY BRETHREN, YOU DID IT TO ME!”
“Wow!” I chuckled.
“So when I give a cup of water to myself, it’s also the same as when I give one of your children a cup of water?”

“YES! AND I LOVE BALANCED DIET!”
I almost threw myself on the floor laughing.
“Daddy, stop teasing me jare! You are talking as if you eat physical food!”
“BUT I DO!”
“Give me an instance where you ate physical food in the Bible!” I said while preparing the food.
“I ATE AT ABRAHAM’S HOUSE. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN ME AND TWO ANGELS WERE ON OUR WAY TO SODOM?”
“Wow!” I smiled.

“INFACT THE MILK WE DRANK AT ABRAHAM’S HOUSE WAS SO DELICIOUS!”
I burst into laughter. I leaned on the kitchen counter and laughed so much that my stomach tighened.
“Daddy! Stop making me laugh. I’m supposed to be in a serious mood. I need to be praying in the spirit. We need to stop gisting about food”, I said, trying to pull his legs.
“YOU WANT TO TELL ME YOU ARE MORE SPIRITUAL THAN ME ABI? IF I CATCH YOU!” He threatened.
I laughed and was about to send the food on fire, when he said.
“ADD MORE TO IT! MAKE IT DOUBLE OF THE ACTUAL AMOUNT YOU COOK “, He said.
“Okay!” I replied and did as instructed.

My gist partner did not leave me alone oh. He kept telling me stuffs about food and would tell me when to go back to the kitchen to check what I’m cooking. He would also tell me when to put ingredients and when I get there, it was just as he said.

After the food was ready, I served myself and ate. After eating, I leaned on the couch and decided to rest.
Mr George was driving his car when another car double crossed him.
He was still in shock when a bunch of hoodlums rushed out. They had clubs in their hands and used it on him. He took several hits and fell into unconsciousness. But they kept hitting him to make sure he was dead.
I jerked on the couch.
“Jesus! What was that?” I asked. I was panting heavily. I placed my hand on my chest and breathed down.
“It is well!” I said in whisper.

Soon my phone began to ring. I picked it up and checked the caller. It was Mr Wilson. It was strange of him to call me, except on serious matters.
“Hello sir!” I said as I answered the call.
“Mr George was attacked”.
My heart almost jumped out of my chest. Thank God for ribcage.
“What happened?” I asked.
“He was attacked by hoodlums. He was almost killed if not for the intervention of a police patrol car. He’s been taken to the hospital”.
“Which hospital?” I asked.
