Deception

 My faith has finally failed me! God! How did I get here.... Three (3) years down the drain, how do I pick myself from here?: Going through this challenges wasn't my bargain with you Lord! As Simi, places the rope on the table, trying to get herself on the chair to hang the rope around the ceiling fan. Beneath her thoughts "After several suicide attempts, she was certain this was a perfect way to die. Let me just die and rest of all the pains and hurts this life has thrown at me. 

As she makes her way to hang the rope around her neck. Bisi walks into her room calling out her friend Simi! "Simi! You need to see who I bumped into at the mechanic 's while raising her head to the sight of Simi trying to hang herself around the rope attachment to the ceiling fan 

Jesus Christ! Bisi exclaimed as she ran towards Simi to stop her from committing suicide. On this faithful day, I really wanted to end it all, as at this point life wasn't fair to me. I was at the verge of losing my mind, if I haven't even lost it . First, it was Kunle, then my business. Now my parents. Oooh! it's becoming clearer that I have been deceived by the very man many respects and regard.

Bisi, he ruined my marriage to Kunle, he also asked me to empty my account as a prophecy by God. I am finished! I am finished. Where do I even start from. Where are my parents?

You need to take it easy on yourself Simisola " ko ma lo pa rare ' Don't go and kill yourself faaa..... You know God is still God! You need to understand that there is a way out of this. "Prayers Simi! Prayers! 

I think I'm, losing my mind, I can't think straight, i don't even feel anything at this point. Pain has become my new hubby. Life is so Cruel! As I sobbed bitterly. Bisi tried to console me but the tears won't stop rolling down my cheeks. 

Allow, me take you down the memory lane, let me tell you how I found myself in this state. As the only child of Mr & Mrs Jegede. My parents were very reputable influencial and respected people in the society with multi million dollars companies and properties to their name. My dad had so many investments to his name and my mom an undebatable gold seller, she had so much and more to her name. Now you will understand I came from a family of abundance. I lacked nothing growing up, went to the best schools, had the most amazing childhood, toys, friends and influence. I went on holidays and vacation at every opportunity given. I was spoilt with wealth and love. 

After traveling the world in search of better pastures, I finally found the man who swept me off my feet. I met him on one of my girls trips to Paris. Kunle was a loving gentleman. A perfect match for me. He had all the qualities I wanted in my man. It was so easy falling in love with him. He was the most amazing human I have ever set my eyes on. He was just to perfect to behold. 

Tell me how this beautiful man, is mine. On his knees before me, asking me to be his wife? Someone, tell me i was dreaming, can someone wake me up from this nightmare. I don't know how to act, I'm i allowed to scream the loudest YES? You are mine and we are doing this life together! YES Kunle! I would love to spend the rest of my days doing life with you. I will marry you over and over again, and I love you with every breath I take . That was the loudest Biggest YES ever in history of proposals, I was internally convinced inside of me that he is my Husband. I couldn't wait to tell mom and brief her on my recent engagement. 

I have been away from Nigeria for 7years and she could hear the excitement in my voice as I spill the gist on how Kunle planned the proposal and our plans on coming back to Nigeria to finalize everything. 

My babygirl! Mom exclaimed "I am so happy to witness you in this state, Love is indeed a beautiful thing" I can't wait to meet Kunle, our son to be"  You would make a beautiful bride my darling daughter.... Mom went on and on ....

Fast forward to November 5th 2023, I and my husband to be landed Nigeria and of course it was a cozy day. Everywhere was filled with love and celebration of our return. Kunle's family came to officially ask my hand in marriage, as the Yoruba tradition permits. We agreed on a date for the wedding. My joy knew no bounds as I was certain my wedding would be the talk of the town. My own wedding Oluwasimisola Jegede. Can't wait!

  December 2nd 2023, I got a knock on my bedroom door, while I made my way towards the door, mummy called out, Simisola my baby, I want us to go see my pastor before your wedding. You know he christen you as a child and hasn't seen you in a long time. We need to involve God in all our endeavors, moreover, he has been anticipating to see you again. 

Mummy you have come again oooooh, as I murmured beneath my voice. I have prayed and God has spoken to me . In fact, He speaks to me everyday. But, if you insist, there's no problem. When do you want us to go see him?  Oh..... Tomorrow is fine, Pastor Israel is a very strong man of God. God has been using him in this family. You see your daddy and I, our businesses ehnnnnn. Only God is sustaining it using Pastor Israel. Okay Mummy, I have heard you, we would go see him tomorrow.....

Come in! I could hear pastor Israel's voice as my mom made her way through His office door. You are blessed Mrs Jegede. Come in! Come in! Oh please have your seat! 

Who is this beautiful lady with you mummy?;Oh pastor! It's Simisola my daughter, have you forgotten so soon. She has been overseas all this years. 

I can't believe my eyes, Simi is now a full grown woman, pastor Israel exclaimed! Come and give me a hug, last I saw you, you were around 12years old. Oh my! You are welcome back home. You are blessed. Have your seat my child! 

Bow your heads for prayers, let's give, honor to whom honor is dew " He starts to speak in tongues and prophesy"  The Lord just showed me' Simi, you are about to embark on a journey of no return ' You need to back out now! He pauses .... This will only lead to distraction! You can't marry Kunle!

I could hear my heart pumping out of my chest. My heart was beating so fast, Can't be my Kunle, Not my Kunle! Finally! My enemies have gotten to me! I am finished! What is this pastor even trying to tell me.......
