BASED ON A TRUE EVENT
This story might be short, but the events were larger than
life
Far away in Oyo State, we visited a woman who wanted us to
publish her story. We drank the wine she
served; waited for her to tell her story.
The hesitation became uncomfortable
for us but since she was the one who placed the call, we knew she was not
kidding.
It was two hours later, and then she began to pour her heart
out in hot tears.
My name is Abigail; I am a native of Oyo state. The story I called
you to hear is heavy in my heart but I have to let it out. I am married to Mr
Ogunnise and a son was released to us. You can call me a successful woman
because I was favoured. I need no one to tell me that I am the cause of my misfortune
and I want you all to hear my story and let people out there know that God’s time
is the best in all we do; whenever we pray for a thing to happen, we should be
patient.
I got married at the age of thirty because i couldn’t get a
man to propose to me on time. I waited for six years before I had the only
child- John (she stopped to wipe her face). After giving birth to him, I developed
complications, I had my womb removed. My husband was not happy because he
wanted five children. We decided to leave it that way. The reason why I called for this interview
started when I resumed my job in Sinmco Dust Int.
Every man wants promotion in their various fields of work. Working
with the state government can be tiring and I had my fill already. I decided to
venture into federal but I wasn’t opportune because I could not meet up with
the politics played.
For the past twelve years of hard work with Sinmco Dust
Intl, I was made to wait for promotion while other staff came and over took me.
At a point I was very disturbed but I decided to wait. I was due for a car
since I climbed level five but it never came.
Every blessed day I wrote and mentioned it to my superiors
but no one seemed ready to assist. My husband persuaded me to hold on but I won’t
have any of it. I was due for it and that was all that mattered.
If I was due for a car for the past six years and the ones
that got to the job after me got theirs, then something is wrong somewhere. (She
paused and then gulped the water before her). I could afford a car but each
time I tried, something came up so I decided to pursue the one I would not have
to buy with my money.
Luck smiled on me exactly on the seventh year pf waiting; my
boss called me and handed over the key of a brand new car. That was it. Prayers
answered. I got home and celebrated with my family. Since I had the car, I went
for driving lessons.
Hmmmmm, God knows what’s best for us but we are not
satisfied. Let me ask you, have you ever prayed for something and it was never
done, then later you were grateful the prayer wasn’t answered.
I was in my car one Monday morning. I turned on the ignition
and then I reversed. I…..i…. hit something then I heard a loud shout. I rushed
out of the car only to see my only child crushed under my wheels, he wanted to
bring the phone I left on the table…
This story is as real as you reading it.
While you pray, wait!
