Thirty Tales
Final Episode
On happy endings (Continued)
I made a personal decision not to discuss the circumstances surrounding my divorce at the time. This left room for a lot of speculation. People who knew nothing about what transpired were giving full on details. I was shocked. I was hearing things about myself that I did not even know.
It became serious when 'they' began to contact Ehi and his family. Chief among these rumours was that I could not have more children. He was told that I was driven out due to my inability to coceive again after my daughter.
Another ridiculous one was that my parents paid Ehi to quickly marry me to cover up their shame. Gosh!
It was literally us against the world. We would drive by and look in the side mirror and see people talking about us and pointing fingers. Someone told me of a conversation about me that was being held in a bus. I no kill person oh!
But I had seen enough bullsh*t (excuse my French) to care what others thought about something that wasn't their concern. 'They' were not there when I almost died. God so good, he gave me a man who knew what he wanted and NEVER faltered.
I must admit, the infertility rumour got to me and I started second guessing my faith. Was it true that I did not take in after my daughter? True. But I had seen it as God sparing me from further ties. When the rumours began to spread, I thought to myself "Perhaps, I may be barren". Ehi refused to let me wallow in fear. We forged on. You can imagine my surprise when we took in immediately. Ntorrr to the haters 😛
Our journey has been nothing short of amazing. It was like God just said it was time for me to be pampered. This man LOVES me. It is almost unreal. I was speaking with my mother the other day and I told her I do not like to share about my marriage because people will not believe me. It sounds too good to be true but it is true. I've never met anyone so selfless, so loving, so caring. I cannot quarrel with this man because I will be quarreling with myself. Just small squeezing of face, he has plastered my face with kisses. He moves mountains to ensure our comfort before his.
God has done me well. Ehi is the highlight of my decade. He has brought so much joy into my life and the lives of our children. He is my best friend in every sense of the word. I cannot imagine my life without him.
It all makes sense now. All the broken roads I had to take was to bring me here. I will never take this gift of a great marriage for granted. I have seen the opposite and I can never wish it on my worst enemy. Every area of my life is flourishing because I am at peace.
If you know my husband and you see him anywhere or if you have his number; please help me thank him for being a great husband. Tell him I stan him forever.
It's our anniversary also tomorrow. It is a double celebration for us. I look forward to the next decade and the next and the next............with Ehi by my side. God has been faithful to us.
Thank you for coming on this journey with me. Thirty Tales has been amazing. I have connected and reconnected with so many people. It has been a great experience for me.
Till next time,
Your favourite writer girl,
Love.
