🤷 He Is Not My Spec Episode Seventeen:
It was Seun’s supposed first day at work, Clara called him to ask how his day as a manager was going only to be told that his mother did not allow him out of the house.
Seun: Seriously, I could have broken the door and left the house but then, this woman sacrifices to make me a graduate won’t let me.
Clara: You don’t have to do that, you would be hurting her more. You know what? I will be coming over this evening, I will spend the night at your place, let’s trust God to work on her this evening.
Seun: Alright love, I will be expecting you.
Mrs. Ashabi was so happy when her daughter-in-law walked into her home, she was happier when she brought out five beautiful wrappers and gave them to her as a gift. As she admired the wrappers, her soul blessed Clara as no one had ever given her a gift save her son who would always celebrate her birthday. If there was one prayer she had been praying these past years, it was that her son should not marry a woman who would turn his heart away from her and God answered that prayer of hers.
Mrs. Ashabi laid hands on Clara and prayed for her from the depth of her heart after which, they both went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She was happy that Clara would be spending the night with them and in her room. Dinner was served an hour later and everyone began to eat. Clara suddenly looked at her mother-in-law and discovered she was weeping silently. She knew the time to talk had come then, she asked the Holy Spirit to take over her words.
Clara: Mom, why are you crying??
Mrs. Ashabi: Ask your fiance, he has chosen to reward me by going away with his father.
Clara: What?? Babe, is that true?
Seun: Mom, you know I can’t do that, I can’t forget your labor over my life. I just want to have a relationship with my father, I am just tired of being that boy without a father.
Mrs. Ashabi: Can you hear him? Have I not been your father and mother all these years? You want to have a relationship with a father that rejected you when you were in the womb, one that rejected you when you were born. I never asked him to marry me, He has always been wealthy even as a young man, all I wanted was for him to take responsibility for his actions. He could have given me some money to start up a business and be able to take care of my son, he could have gotten me an apartment but he chose to ignore me.
Seun: (went to sit beside his mom) Mom, I love and appreciate all you did.
Mrs. Ashabi: Let me talk, please. I had to clean the hospital where I delivered to cover the expenses of my delivery after which I slept in the street with a month-old baby. I was raped numerous times because I was always on the street even at night. I remember a night when my baby was crying while I was being raped. I went through hell just because of a man who refused to own up to his mistake.
Clara: (began to tear up) ohh! This is terrible…
Seun: (weeping too) Mom…..
Mrs. Ashabi: What of the day I was accused of stealing from a shop just because I do pass the night there, I was beaten blue-black for an offense I knew nothing about. I could have aborted you and moved on with my life but I chose to suffer. Now, you suddenly realize that I am not good enough for you.
Seun: (knelt before his mother) Never Maami, you will never stop being enough for me. I love you, mom.
While in that position, the door opened and Mr. Kosoko walked in. Judging from his look, one could tell that he had been crying, it was obvious that he heard all that Mrs. Ashabi said. Before anyone could say a word, he fell flat before Mrs. Ashabi crying and asking for forgiveness.
Mr. Kosoko: I was a fool to have rejected the pregnancy, I was stupid to throw that moment we shared just because of what my parent would say. Just like you said, I could have set you up in a business and get an apartment for you but I chose to run away. I was a coward but I have come to seek your forgiveness. I came back four years later to search for you but you were no longer in that vicinity, Ashabi, I thought of you every single day but I was handicapped.
Seun and Clara quickly knelt before Mrs. Ashabi who had turned her back on Mr. Kosoko. As he kept speaking, Mrs. Ashabi wept uncontrollably. At a point, Clara had to stand up and embrace her urging her to cry out the bitterness she had carried in her heart for years.
Clara: Mummy, please, let it go, cry it out. God’s strength and grace are available for you. You need to forgive him to be able to assess the glorious end that God has for you ma.
Mrs. Ashabi: It’s very hard, I can’t.
Clara: You can ma, just speak it out. Speak out the forgiveness and you will find your spirit aligning with it.
Mrs. Ashabi: Shola Kosoko, as much as I don’t want to do this, I forgive you. I release you from the prison of my heart and I allow you to have access to your son but please, don’t take him away from me.
Seun: Haa, thank You, Jesus. Thank you, mommy. No one can take me away from you.
Mr. Kosoko: Haaa, thank you very much, Ashabi. I am deeply grateful for this. I can’t take him away from you.
Clara: Thank You, Jesus. Mummy, you are strengthened ma. I am privileged to be your daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Ashabi: Thank you, Clara. You are the daughter I never had.
Seun sat beside his mother appreciating her while Clara went to the kitchen to make tea for Mrs. Ashabi after which she was taken to the room to sleep. Clara stayed with her till she slept off before going to the living room to meet father and son.
Mr. Kosoko: Can I still make it up to your mother? You know, seeing her that day woke up the feeling I once had for her.
Seun: Hmmm but you can’t love two women.
Mr. Kosoko: Sandra and I used to be parents to three children only for me to discover that none were for me. She left me after the discovery and died five years later so, I have no wife.
Seun: Well, I can’t decide on that. She has the right to her decisions.
Mr. Kosoko: You are right. I will give it a try. Let me get going, it’s getting very late. Please, keep an eye on your mother and keep me posted. Thank you, Clara, you are indeed the woman for my son.
Clara: (blushing) You are welcome sir.
Mr. Kosoko left for home leaving the lovebirds in the living room.
Seun: My woman, the Apple of my eyes, the only one my heart beat for, thank you for all you did today. I am very grateful.
Clara: Awwn, thank you my husband-to-be.
Seun: If we were already married, I would have…
Clara: It’s okay abeg, let’s go to bed. Remember, you are going to work tomorrow, so, go to bed on time.
Seun: (chuckle) Alright Mom, goodnight babe.
Clara: Same here dear.
Seun woke up very early the following morning and left for work. Clara woke up later to prepare breakfast and take care of the environment. She opened the door to sweep the compound only to see a brand-new Lexus Jeep parked in front of the house. Without anyone telling her anything, Clara knew it was from Mr. Kosoko to Mrs. Ashabi.
