HELP ME
Comfort had gotten the message, there is a purpose for her relationship with Rob. He needs Comfort's help not as a wife but as a friend. She took up the challenge, though both of them wants to be together it's not the plan of God. "His transformation is my purpose." Comfort thought to herself. Rob was tired of his wayward life. He had hurt so many ladies and he wants to change, if only Comfort would accept his proposal, then he would change. Those were his thoughts. Man proposes, but God disposes is a true statement because Gods, thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are quite different from ours.
Rob called to inform Comfort that he was coming to Nigeria to see her. Comfort wondered why he wanted it. He sounded desperate on the phone. He landed and came to see her in her sister's house. They were excited to see themselves. Rob spoke, pleading with Comfort passionately."Comfort, please I need your help, my parents gave me an ultimatum to marry. They want to hand overRelated chapters
THE CONVERSION THE SEARCH
Rob found it difficult to give me five decent ladies. All his life, he had always attracted rough women. He was getting agitated about getting a decent lady to marry. He said at a time, "maybe my nemesis is catching up on me. It's pretty hard, you know. Women are many but not wife material. My pastor calls them, virtuous women are rare to come by. He was on my neck for my friends but I am scared of doing that. He came to my office one day and saw one of the Secretary who greeted him politely when he asked for me. " She looked modest and well composed too. Do you know her?" Rob asked. I told him, "Rob, stop being desperate, relax and pray for the right one. I do not know her enough but she is a nice lady that was jilted recently. I do not know if she will be ready for a serious relationship". He approached the lady, and asked her out, she refused him outright and became rude in the process. I encouraged him to ignore her sauciness. She may later agree if he persisted. One day,
THE CONVERSION FINALLY
I tried persuading Paul to wait for Emily but he was so discouraged that he felt it will be of no use. He told me to forget her, but rather look for another or pick from one of his numerous ones that are eager. Though not convinced, I had no choice but to look for another one. Rob kept on pestering me that there was no more time. I was able to calm him down because I got a lady I met at thesupermarket. I bumped into the lady Eunice. She is charming. She wanted me to recommend a good toothpaste to use for herself. She asked for my opinion as to that. I chose Colgate instead of Macleans. When she was about to go, I followed her and asked for her number. I invited her to a restaurant and told Rob to meet us there. Rob excitedly came over and exchanged pleasant greetings. I quickly excused myself to go to the restroom. Rob engaged her properly. They started a friendship and we're doing very fine together. I was going to the shopping mall to get some toiletries when I saw a Jeep
THE CONVERSION HICCUPS
Emily started to receive strange calls from ladies, claiming she snatched their boyfriend. " Don't think you can just come from nowhere to have my man. He is mine and I am pregnant for him.""Who are you to threaten me. If you mean anything to him, he could have married you. Respect yourself and stay in your lane. Is marriage, by force, why are you sounding desperate. Don't be a loser, move forward and get yourself one unless you are an old desperate maid." Emily replied taunting the lady. Emily was up to the task, she has the energy to withstand the ladies. She was ready for all of them. Going to the shopping mall, she met a lady who claimed she was pregnant for Rob. She made a terrible scene. "Leave my husband alone, can you see that I am carrying his baby. He doesn't have time for me and the baby. Why are you so callous? One of the greatest mistakes you made is marrying him because you will never enjoy the marriage.". She kept on yelling at me. I chose to ignore her
THE CONVERSION CONNECTED
Entering the shopping mall, I heard someone, calling my name with a foreign accent, I turned to see the man, It became a man I knew faintly. I kept on looking at his face, and he guessed I had lost memory of him. He took his time to talk, then he cleared his throat as if a little bit embarrassed. He said, "I can see you have forgotten Rob's cousin, Vincent shortened for Vin.". Oh! I can remember you now. We met at Ibadan when I went to visit a friend. Sure, the memory is clearer now. I know I have seen the face before but could not be sure where. How are you doing Vin?". "I'm fine Commy, you look great dear.". He said admiringly. " Thank you, but what are you up to in this place?". I asked him wondering what he was doing here. "Good question dear, I came for a wedding of my friend. He lives in Houston, Texas too but he came to marry his heartthrob. I followed him as one of his friends." He said.Vincent inquired of Rob, saying it's been long they separated and had not bee
THE CONVERSION ACQUAINTANCE
Vincent and I became close pals, my gossip mate, confidante. I found in him a brother indeed. You can not imagine the relief in my heart when he never talked about an intimate relationship. Vin came to the hostel to visit me, he was feeling a little dejected, " What's your difficulty, Vin?" I asked. He shook his head in despair and said, "Can you imagine my girlfriend called from Washington, D.C., asking me about Comfort, that is you. Someone in Nigeria called her that I am gallivanting all over with one Comfort. She was really mad at me and vowed to revenge. As I am talking to you she is with my best friend. She showed me their photograph hugging". Pain tugged at his heart. He was visibly disturbed. I grew angry with him, " You are a chicken?". I said. Surprisingly, he looked at me and got my message."Thanks, love, I cherish our relationship more than this distraction. To hell with her.Thanks for jolting me back to reality. I'm no chicken. Though painful, I'I put it behind me. &nbs
THE CONVERSION SHE IS GOOD
Making up my mind to help Vincent settle down with a good lady was not the easiest of jobs.Making sure he believed in ladies was getting difficult, but I kept on talking to him. He needed to change and be more disciplined in life. One of the days I asked him what he needed in a lady or his ideal woman. "I'm getting more confused day in day out. I can not see a good lady and I don't believe that I would recognize one again. I'm just too disappointed in my former girlfriend. I trusted her much and she listened to gossip that destroyed everything I've ever believed. Please don't preach to me. You are the one that can bring someone, somewhere for me to marry."Vincent retorted in total surrender. He was pacing up and down like a worried man or should I say like someone who needed to recover his lost goods. It came to a time, I screamed at him" Will you sit your ass down and let me breathe in peace.". I yanked. He sat down looking into my face in a sober mood. I came to his si
THE CONVERSION HYPOCRITE
"This is not working at all.". Vincent shouted. " What is not working?". I answered Vin. "Why are you pretending not to understand what I am saying?. You are proving difficult for me.". " Vincent, I'm helping you here, so be careful. Kathy is the one for you, and you better not let her down.". Murmuring to himself, Vincent, wondering how the two of them are dragging one issue.Vincent related many cases where Kathy's former boyfriend, gave him a tough time. There was a day he went to see Kathy as usual. Dropping from the vehicle, he heard a noise as if someone was crying out for help. His heart skipped. The more he was coming close to the house, the louder the noise and he was able to recognize the voice as Kathy, he ran as fast as his leg could carry him. He had to keep on banging the door before the guy could leave her alone. He opened and left. On getting inside, he saw the house in disarray, she broke down weeping. He got to know that the guy wanted to force his way i
THE CONVERSION BLAMED
Comfort and Vincent were becoming too Close for Comfort. Vincent tells her almost everything. He feels relaxed in her presence. They go out to dinner several times. There was this time, around while coming to meet him in the restaurant, the strap of her brassiere was out. Before reaching his side, he had stood up to meet her and helped to adjust it neatly. He checks the way she dresses and corrects when necessary, this makes Comfort uncomfortable. "What would people say? "became her slogan and he would always reply, "Are you living for people"? She had felt embarrassed by his loving and caring attitude. He touches her cheeks, notices if she frowns, fusses over her. You can say, he dotes on her a lot. He hates to see her discomfited. There was a day, he opened the door of the car for her, she screamed because she hit her hand on the door unknowingly. He rushed to her side and was asking endless questions, " Are you alright? What happened? What hit you?". He held her so close to his b
