👩❤️👨 Love Is No Longer Blind EPISODE FOURTEEN: 💞
Ben and Ada continued living together. Ben vowed not to beat or have any issues with Ada. He made sure to live peacefully with her.
Ada was so happy with Ben. She always thanked God for giving her Ben, despite his behavior in the past. Ada always used Ben as an example whenever she was talking with her friends. Ben made sure to keep Ada happy.
One day, Ada was sitting inside their room. She thought to herself, “I need to help my husband in providing food for this house. Leaving him to provide all the food is not good. I need to support him financially.”
“What I need to do now is save some money from what he gives me to buy foodstuffs. I will take out small amounts and save them,” she decided. “I need to start a business to help Ben. He is really trying for our family. He loves me with all his heart and never lets me get angry. I will make sure I start helping him.”
Meanwhile, at Ben’s company, he always thought about Ada while working, thinking about how to make her happy.
In the evening, when Ben finished work, he started coming back home. When Ben reached home, he saw Ada bathing their son, Ade.
Ben came inside, and his wife welcomed him.
Ada said, “My husband, you are back. How was work today?”
Ben replied, “Very fine. How are you doing?”
Ada answered, “I’m good.”
Ben started playing with their son, Ade. He said, “Ade resembles me a lot.” Ada agreed, “Yes, he resembles you. Look at his eyes and mouth; they look like yours.”
Ada added, “I pray our next child resembles me.”
Ben said, “No, all of them will resemble me. I’ll make sure of that.”
Ada laughed, “How can you do that? It’s not possible.”
Ben joked, “I can be the first person to do it. I can create history.”
Ada responded, “I have never seen that happen before, and I don’t want it to happen to me. I believe our daughters will resemble me, and our sons will resemble you.”
Ben smiled, “If that’s how you wish it, there’s no problem. After all, I was just playing with you.”
Ada said, “Even if you meant it, I know it won’t happen. God is not confused. I have never seen it happen in my life.”
Ben reassured her, “Never mind, I was just playing with you. Let me take my bath before I eat.”
As Ben went to take his bath, Ada continued her thoughts about supporting the family. She realized she needed to act swiftly and put her plan into motion. That night, after dinner, while they were sitting together, she decided to discuss her idea with Ben.
“Husband,” Ada began, “I’ve been thinking about something important, and I want to share it with you.”
Ben, curious, responded, “What is it, my dear?”
Ada took a deep breath and explained, “I want to help you with providing for our family. I know you work very hard, and I want to support you financially. I’ve been thinking of starting a small business.”
Ben looked at her thoughtfully. “What kind of business do you have in mind?”
“I was thinking of starting a small grocery shop,” Ada said. “I can save a little money from what you give me for foodstuffs and use it to start the business. It might take some time to save enough, but I believe it will be worth it in the long run.”
Ben smiled, feeling touched by Ada’s determination and willingness to help. “That’s a wonderful idea, Ada. I’m proud of you for thinking this way. If you need any help or advice, just let me know.”
Ada felt a wave of relief and gratitude. “Thank you, Ben. I knew you would support me. Together, we can make this work.”
From that day on, Ada started saving small amounts of money. She also began researching and planning her business, talking to other women in the community who ran similar shops and learning from their experiences.
Weeks turned into months, and Ada’s savings grew steadily. She bought a few essential items to get started—shelves, a small counter, and initial stock of groceries. Ben helped her set up the shop in a small space near their home.
Finally, the day came when Ada opened her grocery shop. It was modest, but it was a start. She welcomed her first customers with a warm smile, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment.
As the weeks passed, Ada’s shop began to attract more customers. Word spread quickly about the quality and variety of goods she offered, and her friendly demeanor made her popular in the neighborhood. Ben continued to support her, both emotionally and practically, helping her restock the shop and manage the accounts.
Their evenings were filled with conversations about the shop’s progress and plans for its future. They dreamed together of expanding the business, providing even more for their family, and ensuring a bright future for their son, Ade, and any future children they might have.
One evening, as they sat together after closing the shop, Ada turned to Ben and said, “I couldn’t have done this without your support. Thank you for believing in me.”
Ben took her hand and replied, “We are a team, Ada. Your success is our success. I’m proud of you and everything you’ve achieved.”
Ada smiled, feeling a deep sense of contentment and love. Together, they had built a foundation for a better future,
As the months rolled by, Ada’s grocery shop continued to flourish. She introduced new products based on customer feedback and experimented with different ways to attract more business, such as offering special discounts and personalized service. Her knack for understanding what the community needed made her shop a central part of their daily lives.
One morning, as Ada was arranging new stock, a woman named Kemi walked in. Kemi was well-known in the neighborhood for her success in the local market scene, having run a thriving fabric store for several years.
“Ada, your shop looks wonderful!” Kemi said, glancing around appreciatively. “I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.”
“Thank you, Kemi,” Ada replied, her face lighting up. “It’s been a lot of hard work, but I’m grateful for how far we’ve come.”
Kemi nodded. “I see you have a good business sense. Have you ever thought about expanding beyond groceries?”
Ada tilted her head, intrigued. “What do you mean?”
“Well,” Kemi began, “there’s a growing demand for homemade snacks and local delicacies. People are always looking for convenient, ready-to-eat food, especially those who don’t have the time to cook after a long day. If you started selling such items, it could complement your grocery business nicely.”
Ada pondered this idea. She had a few family recipes that she knew were popular, and the thought of diversifying her offerings excited her. “That’s an interesting idea, Kemi. I’ll definitely consider it.”
That evening, she discussed the idea with Ben. “Kemi suggested we start selling homemade snacks and local delicacies in the shop. What do you think?”
Ben smiled, seeing Ada’s eyes sparkle with enthusiasm. “I think it’s a great idea. You’re an excellent cook, and I’m sure people would love your food. We could try a few recipes and see how they sell.”
With Ben’s encouragement, Ada began to incorporate her homemade snacks into the shop. She started with simple items like chin-chin and puff-puff, gradually expanding to more complex dishes like meat pies and moi moi. The new additions were a hit, bringing in more customers and increasing their daily sales.
Ada and Ben worked tirelessly, balancing the grocery business and the new snack line. Ade, their son, helped out after school, learning valuable lessons about hard work and entrepreneurship from his parents. The family’s bond grew stronger through their shared efforts and dreams.
As the business continued to prosper, they managed to save enough money to renovate and expand the shop. Ada’s Grocery and Delicacies became a well-known name in the community, symbolizing quality and warmth. The shop not only provided financial stability for the family but also became a source of pride and joy.
One day, as Ada stood behind the counter, watching customers browse the shelves and savor her snacks, she felt a deep sense of fulfillment. She remembered the initial fear and uncertainty she had felt when she first suggested the idea to Ben. Now, seeing how far they had come together, she knew they could face any challenge and achieve any goal.
Meanwhile, Naomi was still waiting for a husband to come. She hadn’t seen anyone suitable, and as time passed, she became increasingly unhappy. One day, while sitting in her house, her mother Yemi noticed that Naomi was troubled. Yemi approached her and asked, “My daughter, what’s wrong? You don’t seem happy.”
Naomi hesitated for a moment before responding, “Mum, I’m not happy because no husband has come for me. Seeing all my friends getting married makes me feel somehow. I need a husband; time is no longer on my side. If I had known, I would have accepted the suitors who came my way earlier.”
Yemi consoled her, “Don’t worry, God will send your own husband for you. I don’t want you to be thinking about this every day.” Naomi replied, “Mum, it’s not easy like that. People have started using it to insult me. They say, ‘Go and marry; all your mates have married.’ They mock me, and I don’t like it.”
Yemi advised, “Leave them; people will talk no matter what. Even when you do good, people will still talk. So, stop thinking about what others say.” Yemi embraced Naomi and said, “God’s timing is the best.”
Naomi responded, “But what if God sends someone, and I reject them? How can I expect God to send another one when I didn’t accept the first one?” Yemi reassured her, “I know God can still send another one.” Naomi prayed, “I pray so.”
After their conversation, Naomi stood up and left the room.
