THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

Episode 7

“Ekaabo (welcome) Mrs Alabi greeted. He responded and he prostrated to greet mama. David who was kneeling down, stood up to greet and after, he knelt down. Mr Alabi sat on his favorite chair, looking stressed up. “Where is Tolani and Ibukun” he asked.

Immediately Tolani heard that, she came out from her corner zone to greet him. “Welcome sir”. He responded and asked, “where is ibukun”. “She is sleeping ” she replied and went back to her spot. Mr Alabi faced his wife and asked “How was your day? ”. “It was fine and yours?” she replied faintly.  “It was great ” he said with a smile.

Mama stylishly left the couples to discuss as she walked towards the kitchen. Mr Alabi followed her secretly, he had to apologize for what he did yesterday. Mama felt someone was following her and she turned to see the person. “Daddy Tolani, why are you following me? ” she asked with a scary look. He prostrated and begged mama to forgive him. “I have forgiven you, go and meet your wife” mama said with a relieved look.

He went back to the sitting room and he realized David was kneeling. “What did he do? ”he asked facing his wife and she explained everything to him. He became angry and faced David who had already urined on himself. "David, tell me it's a lie”. David could not talk. “Are you deaf” he shouted. Tolani, mama and silver rushed to the sitting room, including ibukun who was sleeping.

Mr Alabi stood up, he removed his belt and David placed his hands on his head, shouting “ I am dead, I am dead.  Help me”. He started running and Mr Alabi, told silver to catch him. Silver caught him and Mr Alabi flogged him badly.  Mrs Alabi could not stand to watch him and shouted “It's okay o”. Mama also joined her to stop Mr Alabi from beating him.

Mr Alabi did not listen, he was seriously angry. He continued, till his belt got spilted. Then he realized it was enough.

Plans that once flowed easily began to stumble. Doors I thought would open effortlessly suddenly became heavy. I kept asking, “God, why are You slowing me down when I’m finally ready to run?” But the more I struggled to push forward, the more life insisted that I pause. And in that stillness,  the one I didn’t choose  I started to see what I had been too busy to notice. I noticed the habits that were draining my strength.

Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
