So,u see my dear,dir’s nobody without a past,but itdoesntmatter how ugly ur past is,a bright future awaits u if uarein Christ Jesus..said Mrs Williams.Now,to ur situation.She continued..We must find ameans bywhich ur parents would hear about it,n then we take itupfrom there.Let me talk to my husband about it,as i cant handle dsalone,then i’ll get back to u.When she left,i started thinking..i was so blessed nencouraged by her testimony,at least to learn dtsomeonewith such an ugly past could turn out to be a pastorwith dsmotherly love n gesture is so amazing.Her words mademeto develop a kind of courage n inner confidence coupledwith faith dt God who made a way for her,is still dir tomake a way for me too.Again,i remembered my dad!.I sighed. Next weekend,he would be marking his 60thbirthday,n expected me to be dir.How would i do itLord?.Later in d evening,Mrs Williams came to me n said “I’msorry,i had to discuss ur case with my husband,its notmyusual way of handling matters,but in a situation likeds,hejust have to be involved.Like i told u earlier,i can’thandleit alone.”“No problem ma”.I said.“Now,we have decided to go with u to Lagos to attendurdad’s birthday,n thereby,use d opportunity to break dnewsto him n other members of d family.”I could hear my heart beating very fast,in fact,i almostfainted.“When exactly is d birthday?” she asked.“It’s friday ma”.I answered.“Oh!.I thought its saturday”.“D birthday falls on friday,n he doesnt want to shift it tosaturday,since dir’s a public holiday dt friday”.I said.“Dt’s beautiful then,we’ll leave on friday morning,gracedoccasion with him n break d news later in d eveningwhenall d guests have left.”And,dt was just what we did.My dad n everybody was shocked!.“Adesewa temi?..No it’s a lie!. How can i believeds?.Howcome?.How did it happen?. Where would i hide my facein dchurch?,among my christian friends?.What will i tell mypastor?.Ahhhh Yetunde!.I never expected ds from u.OhmyGod!!.”My mum was just weeping.My sisters n i were weeping too.Later,my dad said “Go with ur pastor o,i dont want toseeu. U’ve put me to shame.I dont want to set my eyes onu”.We all knelt down n started begging him with tearsflowingin our eyes,but he declined.He was too hurt.I knew why it was so painful for him.Hewasso proud of me,always treating me as his only daughter.At a time,Pastor Williams excused him to hisroom,wherethey spoke for about an hour.Pastor Mrs also took my mum to d corridor for a privatetalk.By d time they came back,my dad was a bit calm,but icould see he was still boiling.D next day,i left with d Williams to Oyan.My dad never called since then,it was only mummy dtwascalling me from time to time to ask about my welfare ntoencourage me.I never knew she was dt loving.I was staying with my pastor n his family as MrsWilliamsdidnt allow me to go back to my house.When we came back from Lagos,Mrs Williams said“Now callBode,tell him to come home n see u,n dt u are not goingtoterminate d pregnancy,let’shear what he will have tosay.”What was his response?.
