Gabriel cried even more when he read about Jesus's sacrifice for humanity. How he was crucified on the cross so that man can escape punishment.
With a Bible in his hand, he fell to the knees, weeping like a little boy. He realized all his sins and mistakes. All that he had done, he realized that he has been jurying God.
" Oh my goodness," Cried. " I have committed so many sins, so many mistakes in my life. I have offended Jesus, Yosef. I don't know if I deserve this forgiveness, Yosef. He cried hopelessly.
Yosef moved close and made him cry his sorrows out in his arms, then he patted on his back, comforting him.
"Calm down my dear. If God was able to forgive soul, then he will forgive you too if you give yourself to him. "
"How do i, Yosef if I don't even know how to pray?"
"Are you willing to give your life to Chris?"
"Of course, I am."
"Then repeat after me in this prayer that our Lord Jesus Christ taught us when he came to this earth." He fold his palms together and Gabby did the same.
"Say, our father, who at In heaven.
He repeated the prayer untilill to the end when they both said amen.
"Shall we go to church, now? The service must have started.
Feeling very relieved and new, Gabriel agreed and the two walked together to church.
The service was done some minutes ago. The preacher preached and now is the session of worship, in which the pastor will be praying for people who needs prayer. It was when Brianna was leading an worship song that Gabriel and Yosef entered the church. The message in the song was about the love of Jesus, how he loved them and died for them. Gabriel went and fell to his knees right at the front of the church. Confessing his sins.
Brianna was in deeper tears as he sings, seeing stubborn prince in such tears, kneeling before God's alter.
She went on and on singing with so much passion. The entire church members felt the holy Spirit power from the song's vibe. At a time she was done, everyone where praying in tongues.
Forget hours they prayed, at last the service was over. Everyone left feeling blessed. Brianna was the talk of the moment, when everyone was out from church. They gather around her, appreciating her singing.
"Brianna, you never cease to amuse me with you amazing voice." The youth leader said to her.
"Thank you. You too"
"You two are a good collaboration." The pastor passed a comment that made Brianna and the youth leader stare at each other and smile happily.
After everyone was done appreciating her, she realized that her family has already left her. She had to walk alone the long, quiet narrow road to the house. She found no one outside, so she wondered where everyone must be, then she saw them in the house having lunch, through the window. She thought of going in, but then she realize she have to prepare lunch for herself and Gabby as soon as possible, and so she hurried to their hut.
She enters the hut and found the table saved with food but no one was in. She looked around in Surprise and then saw Gabriel entering with a bowl of water to wash their hands. The two of them stood quiet, without a word to say to each other.
"Are you the one who prepared this?"
He nod.
"You shouldn't have bothered. I was in a hurry to come and do it, I'm Sorry for coming late."
He put the dish down, on table and then took a step close. She swallowed nervously.
" Brianna, I know I haven't been a good man to you.... I have tortured you alot, my dear. " He drop a tear, and so did Brianna. " I'm so sorry for hurting you so much. I don't know how to say this, but I have been a selfish man all my life, yet you changed something in me. Since I met you, you have made me realize that I was living a terrible life, but I hated you for for making me feel hopeless. I despised you not really that i hated you, but..." He paused for a while and closed his eyes then he spoke the last word that seemed difficult to be released from his mouth. "I hated you because y made me feel something I had never felt for a woman before, despite having a woman for years as my girlfriend." He fell back on a sit after these last words.
Brianna stood there with tears rolling down. She didn't expect to hear this from him, so it came as a shock to her. Her mouth could not utter a single word over what he said because of the disbelief in her heart.
He stood once again and this time took her hand in his, and kissed the top of them, so passionate while she was looking. He raised the head, staring in her tearful eyes, he extended his hand and wiped the tears out from her cheeks. "I'm sorry. I promise to take you back home to your family."
She then said something to him too, "I'm sorry for being rude to you too." She had to crack a joke, all to break the awkwardness they were in and they both laughed.
"Can we eat now, chef Gabby?"
He smiled and nod.
The Yosef family where watching from the window, they all hugged joyfully and then walked out.
********************
The night was awesome, For the first time in his life he woke up early and join the rest of the men to the farm leaving Brianna asleep. She suddenly awake, only to find herself alone. She didn't even look at what she was wearing, big night wear, when she run out to look for him. As Soon as she was out, she found Beatrice and her friends washing and she asked, "Beatrice, have you seen Gabby, anywhere around?"
The ladies looked at each other and smiled.
"Hey I'm asking you, Will you answer?"
"Calm down, he joined the men to the farm." Answered Beatrice.
"What?"Stared astonished. " He has never done farming before, how did you let him go with them?"
"You over slept, how did you expect us to stop him? You know how stubborn he can be sometimes."
Brianna looked ahead when he saw men coming, carrying Gabby with a cut on his feet and arm near a shoulder. bleeding very much. As they approached, she almost loose strength at a sight of his wounded arm. She run over to them looking confused. "How did this happened?"
The men rushed him in the house before they could answer to her question.
"Clean it again in the evening before he sleeps, with these herbs within two days he will be ok." Yosef handed over some leaves to her. And they walked out.
She waited until they were left alone when she changed the look on her face. This new look sent a message to him that she isn't happy about it. Before she could say something, he had to apologise to her. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to experience farming."
Brianna squat before him, " it's ok, but please you should be careful next time. I don't have what to tell the king, if anything like this happens again, or if you don't get better."
He extended his hand and lift her face by the Chin, jus to make her look at him. Feeling her cheeks with a stare in her eyes, he spoke, "I'm a big guy, am I not? What ever happens to me, I should be answerable for it. Don't worry."
She turned a face down in shy. "Let me get you breakfast." She hurried out, just to avoid him at this awkward moment.
She looked away with a smile. After a while, she came back with a bowl of porridge. She put a clothe on his lapse and then helping him eat. He kept staring at her as she fed him.
"All the while you were in front of me, I never accepted this beauty. " He thought.
