Three days had passed since the end of the great relationship seminar which witnessed the outpouring of the presence of God.
After much stress from the office work that day, Apostle Aondofa Daniel returned home and had his junior one who stayed with him prepare the restroom for him to bath.
After a chilled shower, he retired to his bedroom and fail on the bed exhausted.
Minutes later, his brother, Benjamin walked in informing him that his table was set for dinner.
He needed rest and sleep badly but it was important he eat or he won't be eating again till the following day.
Struggling from the bed, he rose to his feet with his towel still on his waist. He changed into a short and hung on his neck another towel, then walked over to the dining and sat to eat his meal.
As he ate, a call came in. Checking it, it was Gloria calling.
He blinked his face and drop the phone, but the call persisted so he had no choice than to pick.
"Hello! Hello! Hello!" He heard the voice of Gloria but kept mute.
"What does she want this time around?" He muttered within his mind.
"Hello my love, Hello sir," Please I am sorry ..." Gloria apologized out of no point.
"Gloria can you shut up and tell me why you are calling by this time of the day?
I have told you not to call me your love again. It's over between me and you, can't you understand. If you don't tell me why you are calling. I will put this call to an end." He yelled.
"Okay, I want to come and see you tomorrow. I will be making my journey early morning to your place. Please don't turn me down. I have already made preparations, please, please." She pleaded.
"It's a no! Whatever you have to discuss with me can be said over here on the phone. Coming to see me is a capital no!" He finalized and hung the call.
He paused, held his hand from swallowing the piece of fufu and began to think.
He loved Gloria - So much was the love he had for her but the love was frustrated to every degree until he decided by the counsels of Victor to put the relationship to an end for his health.
When he did, he found it difficult to overcome the great memories he had with her until time gradually helped him do so, but for the last few days, she had been calling for a reunion.
Apostle Aondofa Daniel despite surrounded by so many ladies was at the same time careful not to make a mistake or fall into wrong hands. For such, he had been away from anything relationship for a couple of months.
Now that Gloria wanted to visit, it was a good opportunity to see if anything good would come out of it.
He picked his phone, put a call through to her and she picked from the other end;
"When are you coming?" He asked grudgingly.
"I will be coming tomorrow." Gloria replied from the other end.
"Then make sure you start your journey early enough. I don't want you to arrive here late." He issued an order and hung the call.
Retiring back to his meal, he ate smiling broadly;
"I don't know why women are like this. If Gloria had stayed tuned all this while, we would have been married by now, but no, they want to explore life to the fullest until they have become frustrated and used by men, then they will start looking for who they left." He conversed in his mind.
Among all the ladies around him for the time, Gloria was an exception. She was very close to the perfect definition of the woman Apostle Aondofa Daniel wanted for wife.
She had the perfect shape, soft, intelligent and on fire for God.
If Apostle Aondofa Daniel is to marry her, he would enjoy the epic of romance because Gloria understood correctly how to be romantic - an act that had made them narrowly slipped into fornication if not for God's help.
Regarding her coming, Apostle Aondofa Daniel feared greatly that nothing ungodly should happen.
To this he explored every factor necessary to make her coming a safe one.
Remembering how much he had been distracted from his meal, he put away the phone, shut his mind about Gloria for the moment until he was done eating.
After he was done with the meal, he called in Benjamin to clear the table;
"This is a great meal Benjamin." He appreciated
"Thank you sir!" Benjamin bowed responding with a smile on his face.
"Please take care of the house, I am stressed. I need to have my rest." He said and stood to his feet while Benjamin cleared the table.
"Please do remind me. On Friday we will do some collection of wears for you in the plaza." He told Benjamin while approaching his doorway - Benjamin answered from a distance excitedly.
Entering his room, he fell onto the bed and trashed his towel aside, played some faint background music and began to sleep soundly.
As he slept, his spirit appeared in the world beyond walking in a far away terrain beyond the reach of mortals.
He saw boisterous activities of workers and members, those of which he did not pay attention enough to recognize.
He was walking in-between them with a sense of satisfaction and appreciating their commitments.
Then all of a suden there was a large sea of water behind them. The sea was beyond boundaries.
As he watched, he saw a beautiful figure approaching from a distance. He wondered what it was and tried focusing to what he was doing but the sight was too powerful for him to get distracted from having its view, so he looked on.
As the figure got closer, he could recognize that this is an extremely beautiful maiden, exactly same as the one he has drawn in his diary.
It was real, he never thought this to be a dream. The description was with precision to what he had drawn.
Overcomed by awe, he approached her and soon was face to face with her.
His heart raced and braced heavily. "Who are you?" He asked
"I am your desired wife. I have been sent to you and I am waiting for when you shall come for me." She spoke up assuredly.
"My desired wife?" Apostle Daniel asked as he watch her glow so much in immeasurable beauty.
The beauty attracted him and he came close to hold her by the hand but she vanished.
Then he heard faintly his name been mentioned in the firmament above him. When he lifted his eyes, he saw men like white shadows observing a meeting and by Spiritual indication he had a knowing that he was the subject of discussion but what was discussed was been hidden from him.
On the other side he saw Esther standing and waiting for him with a white substance in her hand.
He turned back to face the workers who were still busy with their engagements. As he took steps to walk away, he woke up from his sleep.
Sliding his hand blindly, he checked for his phone to see what the time could be.
It was 4am, his hour of prayer.
He, slopped down on his knees and began to pray.
When the day was fully awakened, he called in Benjamin to make the house ready as they were receiving a visitor by the name Gloria.
He himself prepared to rush to the church office to accomplish some tasks.
From there he would pick Gloria from the park and they would return home together.
