π«π In The Name Of Love Episode Fifteen:
The friendship between mother and uncle OZ grew stronger by the day,they couldn’t do without talking first thing in the morning and last thing at night.i knew uncle angel loved mom,and mom on the other hand,even though she had said she didn’t want any relationship, the happiness in her eyes whenever uncle angel was calling or whenever she was receiving his call made me believe she may love him too…..
Uncle angel had started coming home and both Grandma and Grandpa loved him,I mean who wouldn’t,he was and is so nice a person,one of the kindest people i know.
Uncle Oz had finally resolved his issues with his ex wife’s husband,and divorced the woman, that’s if the marriage was authentic in the first place since the wife was still married to another,so practically he was single again…
One evening, I decided to have an adult conversation with mother…
Mom,can I talk to you,i had asked..
Of course Ade, mother replied…
Mom,,what do you think about uncle angel,I mean uncle Oz,I asked her..
Oz is a very nice man,with a good heart,mother said…
Hmmmmm, don’t you want to be in a relationship with him,I asked…
Adesuwa, what do you know about relationships talk,for heaven’s sake you are just a child….mother said
Mom,am not a baby you know, I’d be turning 18 in few months, I just want my mother happy,I want you to find love and be loved, you’d soon be 36, that’s my wish for your 36th birthday,that you’d not be lonely,but have a man deserving of you by your side.,I said….
But Adesuwa, aren’t supposed to be campaigning for your father,you and I know all his calls and show of concern isn’t just because of you and your brother,it’s obvious he’s sorry and wants me backkkkkk…..
Wants who back?, Sammy asked as he entered, interrupting mom,he had obviously been eavesdroping.mummy have you forgotten all you went through,do you want to suffer again, Sammy asked to our surprised…
My children, Efosa may not be the best man on earth,but I believe he may have changed, even though I do not love him as much as I used to,but I am contemplating within me going back for your sakes,mother said..
It’s possible father may have changed over the years as you said, but it’s also possible he’d go back to how he used to be over time, because a leopard doesn’t change it spot.but in all mother,you are an adult,you know what’s and who’s best for you,but mummy, please do not make any decisions because of Sammy and I,do not stay with Daddy if you do not love him anymore because of us,we aren’t babies, we’d be fine,all your life, you have lived for us,please mom, it’s high time you thought about yourself too.if uncle Oz is the one who makes you happy,and who you want to be with, please do,we just want you to be happy, because you deserve it,and we love you so much,I said…
Mother was all teary,she opened her hands and hugged us both,you two are my biggest blessings and achievement,I love you so much,she said…
It was an emotional time for us all.
Uncle angel called me one Sunday afternoon to meet him up in a fancy restaurant,and I went….
After I had eaten a delicious delicacy and drank a very nice wine,he began..
Ade,I,I,I don’t know how to say this,but the thing is,I have fell helpless in love with your mother, she’s is such an amazing woman,the desire of everyman,please if you don’t mind, I’d like to ask your mother to marry me,he said…
I was so shocked,I actually didn’t see marriage coming…
Hmmm,I cleared my throat,uncle you are a very nice person,and I have nothing against you,but I really think this conversation should be with my mother, I said..
Of course,I know,I just wanted to seek your consent, because I know how much you and your brother mean to your mother,and I also know you both will have a very big influence on her decision,he said calmly…
Well to be fair,I have known all along you love my mother,it isn’t going to be an easy one,as she hasn’t been in any relationship since she left my father,I like you,and am sure Sammy likes you too,but you would have to promise us one thing,that you would never hurt our mother, she’s been through so much,and she deserves to be happy,if you dare hurt her or make her cry,you would have me and Sammy to contend with,I said…
He laughed,yes boss,I will dare not hurt her,as I do not want to contend with you two,he said laughing,,,,,
Adesuwa,he called on a serious note,on my honor,I promise to love, cherish,and respect your mother,as long as we both shall live, she indeed deserves to be happy,loved and cared for,he said…
Well,with that,you have my blessings,and that of my brother’s,I said…
He laughed again, thank you boss lady,he replied….
I went home and told grannies and Sammy everything uncle angel had said,they were really happy for mother.we all then planned to support and help uncle angel in winning mother’s love.we were always having conversations about uncle angel, saying how nice he is,how he’d make a loving husband and an amazing step father,and every good thing there was about him….
Oh goodness,can you all stop it already,I have heard all the nice things about him,and trust me,I know all that,but can you please stop making decisions and wishing,Oz hasn’t even asked me to be his girl friend,or should I say lady friend,and you all are already counting you chickens before they are hatched, mother said one afternoon….
But mother,what if he wants you to be his wife, would you accept,I asked her
Adesuwa,are you sick or something, someone hasn’t even asked me out on a date,you are already seeing a perfect picture of us as a couple, Ade please calm down,face your studies and pass your exam, so you’d be given admission,and stop day dreaming,mother had said…..
But Imade,answer the question, it’s just a harmless one,if that fine young man,ask you to marry him,will you say yes… Grandma asked her…
Ohh iyeeee, don’t tell me you have allowed all uwa is saying get to you,mother asked grandma..
Mummy answer the question, Sammy cut in..
You all are not serious,(answer the question,we all chorused)
Fine, I’d answer, I’d answer just to get away from all of you,and not because I am delusional like you all…
OZ is a one in a million kind of man, he’s down to earth,kind, caring,with an amazing personality,filled with goodness and love,yes,if he ever ask me to marry him,which I know is not possible though,my answer would be yes,mother said and we all jumped for joy,mother was surprised at our reaction…
I placed a call to uncle angel,and asked him to carry on with his plans..
It was mother’s 36th birthday, grandpa had left the house with Sammy, saying they were going to visit his friend,I told mother I had jamb lectures to attend and also left,I didn’t know what grandma had told her,that she was able to bring her to her surprise birthday party,in a very elegant hotel hall,friends and family from both mother and uncle OZ side were in attendance,mother was really surprised,it was a very big party, varieties of food and drinks were available, grandma had been able to convince her to wear the expensive and designers dress Uncle angel had gotten for her thankfully….
She was both shocked and happy at the same time,it was a mixed feeling,while she was yet to get hold of herself over the surprise party, uncle angel went on his knees asking her to marry him,,she got the shock of her life,she then turned to Sammy and I,as though she was seeking permission,we nodded our head positively,and then she said ‘YES’, everyone rejoiced and was merry….
About a month on, the wedding bells were ringing,it was the wedding of the year,my uncles abroad came with their wives, important dignitaries were in attendance.
After the wedding,just before the newly wedded walked into the reception hall,I saw father walked in,I saw shocked and wondered what he came to do…
He gave me an envelope,and asked that I give it to mother,and then he left….
I was really curious to know what was in the envelope, but then I know it is wrong opening a parcel meant for someone else,so I took it to the room mother was in the hotel,were she was changing and gave her the letter…
She opened it and read through,after which she had tears and smiles on her face..
Mother are you okay,I asked concerned,she then handed the letter to me,and it reads….
Dearest Imade
You are a kind woman
A biblical virtuous woman
Filled with love,
Care and humility.
You were too goo and perfect
For someone like me
I have come to know I lost a treasure.
But I'd be wicked wanting you to come back to a trash like me
I am glad you find someone who is deserving of you and all the kindness in you.
I wish you both all the happiness in the world.
May you never have any reason to cry,
The only tears that would come to you are that of joy.
You shall grow old in good health with your husband…
Stay strong and positive
Stay happy and blessed.
Always remember you are a
JEWEL OF INESTIMABLE VALUE.
HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
EFOSA.
I was moved at father’s words, it only hurts me that he didn’t realized what he had until he lost it..
It was a successful wedding and we all went home tired and exhausted from the day’s activities, especially me,you don’t want to know what it means been the grown up daughter of the bride,it simply means you are everywhere at the same time.
About three months later,mother and uncle OZ were on their way to America…
six months later,mother had gotten a job as a nurse in a prestigious hospital,with daddy OZ’s help..
I on the other hand had gained admission to University of Benin to study banking and finance…
Daddy Oz was indeed a blessing,he was taking very good care of Sammy and I,and grannies.two months to their second year wedding anniversary, God blessed them with a bouncing baby boy…
Four years like yesterday,I was done with school, while Sammy was preparing to enter the university…
We were still in touch with father,life hadn’t remain the same, although he had a job,he had refused,or should I say wasn’t able to find love again,as he remained unmarried….
After my service, uncle angel worked my travel,he wanted me to come have my masters programs in America…
In the plane,I couldn’t believe I was up in the sky flying to my dream country…
Mother was very happy to see me,same was my little brother Jason.i was happy to see them too,I had greatly missed mom,she was doing so well, looking very pretty,indeed marrying the right one is a blessing..
I soon started my master programs and everything was going well.
After the program,I didn’t have plans of coming to Nigeria,I was able to find something doing,and the pay was nice…
I was sending money to dad and Sammy, even grannies.
Then I met Roland,a Nigerian based in America, somehow somehow,we became an item, Roland was very nice, loving and caring,in fact he was near perfect,just like uncle angel,I mean daddy Angel as I often call him..
We dated for about a year,and then he popped the big question,and I said yes….
We came to Nigeria for the traditional wedding
I respected my father,and gave him the honour of every child to the parents..
It was a wonderful and flamboyant traditional wedding,father was so pleased with me and the great woman I have become,he ceased the opportunity to apologize for anyway he may had wronged me and my mother in the time past,of course,he’s my father and I love him dearly,as such I hold nothing against him…
We went back to America for our wedding after some weeks, and it was another wonderful one, especially with the help of mummy and daddy Oz….
It’s being a long ride indeed,thank God we don’t look like what we’ve been through, looking at how beautiful life is today,one will think mom’s life has been so rosy,or I was born with a silver spoon.if only they know there were times we went to be on empty stomach and having our tears for breakfast.
Indeed God has the final say in our lives,I couldn’t hep but travel down memory lane and appreciate God for our lives today…
Honey, Bernice needs you, she’s crying,my husband Roland said, bringing my mind to present day.oh yes I am now a mother of a beautiful baby girl..
That has been my story, thanks for your time.
THE END…!!!

Am happy it ended well.
