π«π The Choice I Made Episode Thirteen:
Godwin arrived the next day at Preye’s compound. He met Preye’s mother turning her garri she dried under the sun and Victory was seated on his bicycle he doesn’t toy with.
Hey!! My big boy! Godwin called Victory as he lifted him and started throwing him up.
Pa shee (Papa see) Victory was showing Godwin a baby ring Preye wore him on his finger thumps.
What the hell! Who wore you this ring? He asked Victory and took it off.
Mama, you wore Victory a ring?
Sit my son, what my eye saw my mouth can’t voice it. It has been pushing me since the day before yesterday to call you and tell you but I kept holding myself. Preye’s mother joyfully said.
Godwin who has never seen Preye’s mother this happy wondered what could have put her in such a happy mood. He asked her what is going on.
Wait I’m coming. Preye’s mother said and quickly went to the room and woke Preye up and informed her that Godwin is around.
Preye came outside to see Godwin lo and behold, it was the same Godwin she knows. She ran and took Victory from his hand forcefully and ran inside. Godwin stood with his hands still open.
Preye’s mother immediately understood what is going on. He kept calling Godwin’s name who is still standing steady with his hand and mouth widely open. Godwin got himself and entered his car and drove off.
Preye, is he the same Godwin? Preye’s mother asked.
Yes, mama, Preye answered as her eyes glued on the wall.
Preye’s mother stood up and went outside and seated on the wooden bench with her hand on her cheek.
The next day Godwin came back to Preye’s compound. He met preyed’s mother relaxing under the tree as usual.
Mama good afternoon. Godwin greeted looking so terrifying and remorseful.
Welcome Godwin. Preye’s mother answered him.
Mama, can I sit down?
Do you take permission from me before sitting down? Why are you doing that now? Preye’s Mother asked.
Mama, I know by now you must have known everything. Yes, I’m Godwin. The same Godwin you once heard of before meeting the changed and new Godwin. Mama, I want you to know that what I do for Victory, I don’t do it because I know he’s my son. I never knew you are Preye’s mother until the day you told me her surname. I wanted to let you know but I couldn’t find a better way to do that I decided to keep the secret to myself. Mama, please forgive me. You have every right to do to me whatever that pleases you but still find a place in your heart and forgive me. Godwin asked for forgiveness kneeling.
Godwin sits down I’m not God you should be kneeling for. Listen, Godwin, you owe me no apologies. It is only God and Preye you owe that. If Preye forgives you who am I not to accept you? I won’t curse you or use words on you with this same mouth I’ve prayed and blessed you with countless times. You have been our pillar when there was none to lean on. Preye is in the room. She knows you came. You can go and talk to her. Preye’s mother gently said to Godwin.
Godwin never thought Preye’s mother will forgive him so soon. He quickly headed to the room to talk to Preye but Preye shuts the door and bolted it using the ancient sharpened long wood they support their door with. Godwin turned to the window which was still open to talk to her. He was about to call Preye’s name but she shuts him up immediately.
Godwin, never show your face again in my father’s compound. You are dead to me a long time ago. I don’t want to see your face because it will make me do something unimaginable. I will rather take my life than take you back into my life or hear whatever you want to say. Get Γ³ut! you are not welcome here. Preye’s said and closes the window.
Godwin went to Preye’s mother with teary eyes.
Mama, please help me. Help me, Mama. Help me and talk to Preye. Godwin said and staggered to his car like someone that consumed excess alcohol.
Preye’s mother waited for days to talk to Preye because she noticed the strong hatred she has towards Godwin.
Preye my daughter. For how long are you going to fight and shout anytime you hear the name, Godwin? I don’t know you to be this hard. Remember if there’s no sin there won’t be forgiveness. That’s why they said to err is human and to forgive is divine. Godwin has been calling day in and day out crying and pleading for forgiveness. He is a responsible person now and a changed person. One thing I know in this life is there is reason for everything. Only God knows why everything happened it’s beyond we humans. Please, my daughter, I want you to take your time and rethink. Preye’s mother advised Preye.
Mama, are you telling me to forgive him or to forgive him and take him back? Preye asked.
If you can, yes. forgive and take him back. Preye’s mother responded.
Mama, I don’t think there’s something that will make me accept Godwin. never Mama! I don’t want him to step foot into this compound again because he can never be trusted. Stop taking his calls. Mama please I don’t want to disobey you for the second time. I’m sure about this one. Please don’t talk about Godwin again. Preye pleaded with her mother.
Well, I will keep taking it to God in prayers for his will to be done. Is only him that has the final say. Preye’s mother said.
Gush!! I was this close just this close and Preye appeared from nowhere. I would have struck when I had the opportunity and take back my son. anyways no one will deny me of having my son. My only son and child after nine years of waiting and looking for a child. No, instead I will take him either by force or with force. Godwin talks to himself in the sitting room.
Godwin, for the past two days if not more, you have been acting strange. what is the problem? Godwin’s wife asked.
