    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Twenty:

    For almost two years, the twins kept on frustrating Simi and Toun because they knew Simi wouldn’t do anything to them. They behaved well whenever Yinka was around, and to worsen the situation, Simi didn’t report them to her husband.

    Something happened one day which made Simi report the twins to God. She suddenly walked into the boy’s room and met them trying to strangle Toun. Before that time, there had been a serious enmity between the three boys, The twins saw Toun as a rival and did everything possible to make him suffer. Out of anger, Simi gave them a deafening slap which made them stagger before rescuing her son from their claws.

    That incident made Simi cry to God, she knew she brought all that happened upon herself but then, she had learned her lesson and believed God had forgiven her. Heaven heard her cry that day and began work on the twins. For the first time since they got into Simi’s home, they walked up to her and apologized for all their wrong deeds. Seeing Simi cry before them that particular day broke their heart and they decided to behave well in order not to make her cry.

    They had come to love Simi but the thought that she stole their Dad from their Mom always made them act otherwise. They thought frustrating Simi and Toun would make them leave their Dad so that they could have him to themselves.

    Simi was still lost in thought when Yinka walked in, he touched her and tried to know what was going through her mind.

    Simi: Welcome dear, didn’t know when you walked in.

    Yinka: Yes, seems your mind traveled far away.

    Simi: I was just thinking about some things.

    Yinka: Want to talk about it?

    Simi: I was thinking about all we’ve been through.

    Yinka: Yeah, even in the storm, God was faithful. Jones told me about their performance.

    Simi: That boy is always talking, I can see that his place is in the humanities.

    Yinka: Exactly. Sweet, thank you for everything, thank you for accepting the twins and helping them become better children. The change in them is just so amazing.

    Simi: My dear, we have to appreciate God for everything so far. He alone helped us.

    Yinka: Thank you for being the best wife even if you do run your mouth sometimes. Your words can be so annoying sometimes but I am grateful to God for giving you to me. I pray Isabel grows up to be like you.

    Simi: I also want to thank you for being a great husband and father. Your patience and calmness awe me sometimes. I am happy to be married to you.

    Yinka: See me blushing. Meanwhile, I have been noticing something……..

    Simi: what is that?

    Yinka: (sat beside her on the bed) You are looking different these days.

    Simi: Seriously???

    Yinka: It seems you are pregnant.

    Simi: Pregg???? Not again, the house is full already. Oh my God. That explains my constant sleep and tiredness plus, my menses haven’t come this month. I don’t want this.

    Yinka: It’s fine, baby, we would be happy to have another baby. You know, I will always be there to help.

    Simi: Five children???

    Yinka: We are capable, darling. You don’t have to feel bad about it.

    Simi: I…I…I

    Yinka: It’s alright, come to daddy, come get some kisses and petting.

    Simi gave birth to another baby girl nine months later, she sought God’s help as regards training the children and He did. Toun went through secondary school, maintained his academic excellence, and later traveled to the US to study Medicine and Surgery. James, who discovered he loved to write was enrolled in a writing school and eventually published his first book at the age of sixteen. Jones on the other hand fell in love with speaking and acting hence, he got the necessary support from his parent to pursue his dream course. Isabel the first girl was so much in love with drawing and painting, Yinka connected her with his friends in that field who helped sharpen her skills. Laura the baby of the house grew into a beautiful young girl who also fell in love with mathematics.

    Despite the storm that almost destroyed the home, Jesus the Chief captain of every ship helped calm the storm. What the enemy planned for them eventually turned out to be a great blessing. Simi decided to pen down all they went through so that other women could learn from her mistake.

    THE END…!!!

    Thanks for reading to the end, I hope you learned something. Meanwhile, don’t forget to say a word of prayer for the author.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Nineteen:

    The family woke up the following morning for devotion. Yinka went to the twin’s room to call them out only to meet them dressed and their luggage lying right beside them. Before he could say anything, the twins pleaded with him to take them back to the States.

    Jones: Good Morning, Dad. James and I want to make a request.

    Yinka: Alright, go on, I am listening.

    Jones: Dad, can you please take us back to America? You don’t have to stay with us, Luis’s parents will accommodate us.

    James: Yes, Dad. All you just need is to take us there.

    Yinka: Are you two alright?

    Jones: Very alright, Dad.

    Yinka: If there is one thing I won’t allow, it is letting you out of my sight because, with the way you two are behaving, it is obvious you were not well trained.

    James: That is not fair, Dad. You are torturing us emotionally.

    Jones: You are causing us pain, Dad and we demand an apology from you.

    Yinka: Egbami, if I descend on you this morning, you will understand the meaning of pain. Don’t worry, I will go out today to get cane. When I begin to deal with you, you will drop this nonsense attitude in you.

    James: Dad!

    Yinka: Follow me to the sitting room now, it’s time for morning prayers.

    The twins followed their dad dejectedly to the sitting room. They met Simi already sitted but the hatred they had for her prevented them from greeting her. They hissed, walked passed her, and went to sit on the couch. An already angry Yinka went closer to them and whipped them with his belt which he removed from his trouser. Simi was scared, she had never seen him that angry, and he had not even beaten Toun that way. Yinka was a cool person but could do anything when pushed to the wall.

    Simi tried to stop him but a look from him shut her up. When Yinka stopped, the twins had incurred bruises. Simi had to quickly take them into their room to prevent them from further misbehavior which could earn them more beating after which she came back to speak sense into her husband.

    Simi: You have to be calm with them, it isn’t their fault, that is how they were raised. You’ve injured them.

    Yinka: I never had the mind to beat them but those two are so annoying. Am I even sure they are mine? They are just too rude.

    Simi: You have to allow the Holy Spirit give you the right method to use to train them. Beating may harden them.

    Yinka: I have heard but that won’t stop me from getting a cane.

    Simi: It’s alright.

    FIVE YEARS LATER.

    Simi undressed herself as she got into the room. She and the children had just returned from their graduation party and she was super proud of them.

    Toun had graduated as the best student in his class, it was his final year in primary school, he had written the primary school leaving examination and aced all his subjects which earned him numerous awards and gifts.

    James and Jones also topped their class, they received awards for being the best and well-behaved students in the class. When they were called out to receive the award for being well-behaved in their class, Simi couldn’t stop shedding tears, she remembered how they used to be when they were brought into her home. She remembered the disgrace and torture they gave to her, she remembered how cruel they used to be to Toun till God took over their lives.

    Simi had given birth to a baby girl a few months after the twins started living with her. Her mother-in-law had to come over to help them, by then, Toun had returned home since things had gone back to normal. Yinka had an emergency at his place of work which took him away from home. During that period, the things wreaked much havoc, they were bent on frustrating Simi so that she would convince her husband to take them back to the States.

    One particular day, Simi’s mother-in-law prepared breakfast for Simi only for her to discover that it was salty. It was so bad that she couldn’t eat the food. Mrs. Alake got angry with Simi, she had the notion that Simi was insulting her cooking not until she tasted the food, it was then, that she realized that someone had tampered with the food. After much investigation, it was discovered that the twins added more salt to the food.

    Since Mrs. Alake wasn’t very agile and Simi was yet to recover from the pain of the pregnancy and childbirth, there was no one to discipline them.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Eighteen:

    James: (ran to embrace Yinka the moment he set his eyes on him) Dadddyyyyyyy!

    Jones: (Also ran to embrace Yinka immediately he heard the scream of his twin brother) Daddyyyy, where have you been? Why did you leave us alone?

    Yinka: (Came back to consciousness the moment he heard Jones’s question. He was initially thrown off balance by the strong resemblance the boys shared with him) One question at a time boys. I had to travel down here when I discovered something.

    Jones: But mom said you left us to be with another woman, she said the woman is a prostitute who doesn’t want us to be happy.

    James: Yes, she said the woman charmed you.

    Yinka: Listen, boys, let’s forget all she said. I am here for you now.

    Jones: Yeeee, Welcome back, Daddy, I missed you so much.

    James: Yes, Daddy, I missed sleeping in your arms.

    Jones: Dad, have you been with mom? She left the house with grandma and they haven’t returned. Aunty Cindy has been the one taking care of us.

    Yinka: Boys, you have to get your boxes, we have to leave here. When we get to my house, I will tell you all you need to know. Meanwhile, I need you to meet someone.

    Jones: James, look at this woman, she is the woman in the picture Mom showed us. She is the one who charmed Dad.

    James: You are very right, Jones. She stole our father from us.

    Yinka: That is not true and I won’t let you speak anyhow to someone special to me. Get your luggage and follow me, now.

    Jones: No, Dad. We are not going anywhere without our mom.

    Yinka: Well, I can see you boys are stubborn. If you care to know, your mom and grandma are dead. So, the only option you have left is living with me.

    James: No, Dad, our mom isn’t dead and we are not going with you.

    Cindy: Stop acting stubborn boys, I just saw it in the news that your mom shot herself and grandma so, you have to move in with your Dad. I will be leaving for my parent’s home tomorrow.

    Jones: That can’t be.

    Cindy: (Move closer to Yinka and Simi) Sir and Ma, you have serious work to do on these boys, they are ill-mannered.

    Yinka: I can see that too.

    Yinka and Simi decided to go pick up the twins from their grandmother’s residence since they were aware that their remaining family member was Yinka. Getting to the house, the twins were initially happy to see their father but the moment they set eyes on Simi, they remembered all their mother told them about her. They refused to go with Yinka and Simi till Cindy, their grandmother’s house maid intervened in the situation.

    While going to pick up the twins, Simi suddenly became nervous, she was not sure of the reaction she would get from the twins, she only wished they would accept her and accord her the necessary respect.

    The twin’s outburst got to her, she was shocked to hear them call her a prostitute. It was obvious Tonia turned the table against her. At that instant, all she prayed and wished for was a divine intervention.

    After speaking to the twins, Cindy went into the house, brought out their luggage, and took it into Yinka’s car after which, she came back to join the couple to bundle the boys into the car. Immediately after they got into the car, Yinka zoomed off giving the twins no room for escape.

    As Yinka drove into the compound, he threatened to beat the twins if they tried anything funny. He was ready to deal with them till they had learned some morals. The twins who saw how angry Yinka was composed themselves, they were afraid of being flogged by Yinka. Yinka led them into the room that he had prepared for them, he ensured they took their bath and were served lunch before going into the bedroom to meet his wife.

    Yinka: Babe? How are you?

    Simi: Fine ooooh, how are the twins?

    Yinka: They are eating. I served them lunch.

    Simi: Those boys are something else, they are very spoilt.

    Yinka: Seriously, I can’t believe they came out of me. I pray God help us to raise them, this is a whole lot of work.

    Simi: Yeah, I trust God to help us.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Seventeen:

    Simi: Babe, tell me how it went nau?

    Yinka: When I left the house that evening, I was so confused, I didn’t know what to do. Then, the Holy Spirit told me to place a call through to my roommate who happens to be in the army. You know, I sensed Tonia had men in the police station that was why she threatened that things would go south if I tried to involve the police.

    Simi: I sensed so too.

    Yinka: Luckily, my friend just returned to his home in Ikeja so, I drove there and explained everything that happened to him. He gave me a pill and told me to go to her. He said I should play along with her and order a wine with the claim of wanting to rekindle our love. He then advised that I tell her to go shower and once she goes out of sight, I should put the pill in her drink.

    Simi: That was risky.

    Yinka: I was tensed. I did as he advised. Some minutes after taking the drink, she slept off then I grabbed her cell phone and ran back to Dele. We went through her cell phone and got the contact of the kidnapper whom we spoke with and it was as if we were controlling him, he gave us the address of the place where Toun was held hostage.

    Simi: Just like that?

    Yinka: I was shocked too but then, Dele advised we go with ten of his men in case it was a setup. Getting there, he directed me to the room Toun was in through an SMS. But then, some of his men who saw me walk out of the house with Toun began to shoot, of course, they didn’t know their boss was the one who let Toun go. In the process of shooting, Toun received a bullet in his arm which made Dele’s men refire.

    Simi: Hmmmmm, where were the men arrested?

    Yinka: Yes, Their ring leader who released Toun was also arrested but I pleaded with Dele to help him.

    Simi: What about Tonia?

    Yinka: She had been arrested too, she was trying to run away from the hotel when the soldiers got there. She took to her heels the moment she discovered her cell phone was gone.

    Simi: God is so sweet abeg.

    Yinka: Seriously. I will have to go to the police station to write a report against Tonia and now that the army is involved, she won’t be able to influence the policemen in her favor.

    Simi: I wish Tonia could just learn.

    Yinka: An enemy will not relent until they come in contact with God’s destructive power. She would be taken to court on Monday, I wish her well.

    Toun was discharged two days later and went with his grandmother to the village after she insisted that Toun needed to be away claiming that Tonia might want to try something funny. Simi agreed with her mother-in-law and decided it was a good thing for Toun to be away till everything went back to normal.

    Tonia was taken to court and after the court procedures, She was found guilty and was sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment. Her accomplices were charged to ten years imprisonment each. While being led away, Tonia, who was heavily pregnant pleaded to speak to Simi and Yinka for a minute, she asked for their forgiveness and pleaded with Simi to help her take care of her sons.

    Tonia: I decided to dine with the devil just because I craved for another woman’s husband. God already gave me my husband who was at that time not financially buoyant but I was ready to join hands with him. We went into a relationship and all was going well till my mom began to fill my head with words. I listened to her and allowed the beautiful future God has for me to get destroyed.

    Onlookers: What a pity!

    Tonia: Today, Emeka is a big pastor here in Nigeria and his wife is doing well, that could have been me. Simi, I need a favor from you, please help me look after my boys, teach them about God, and make them understand that living outside of God brings destruction. I know I have told them a lot of crazy things about you but I know God will teach you what to do to raise them well.

    After bringing her conversation to an end, Tonia grabbed the gun of a police officer, shot her mother in the chest, and then shot herself. It was a terrible scene. The onlookers fled from the scene in a bit to protect themselves. Yinka and Simi ran to Tonia pleading with her to ask God for forgiveness before breathing her last breath which she did but her mother wasn’t privileged to do that, she died Instantly.

    The dead bodies were taken to the prison mortuary while the couple went home.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Sixteen:

    Simi couldn’t sleep the evening her husband went to see Tonia, she was afraid, she wasn’t ready to lose her husband to Tonia again neither was she ready to lose her son. That night, her mother-in-law persuaded her to get some sleep after singing and praying for hours but Simi wouldn’t listen.

    Some hours later, sleep took Simi away. It was from the dreamland that she heard the door open, she jumped to her feet and saw Yinka walk into the house looking weak and tired.

    Simi: Welcome home, babe, how did it go?

    Yinka: Fine, Toun is no longer in her custody but in the hospital. He is currently unconscious but the doctor promised he would be out of a coma soon.

    Simi: Jesu! What happened to my son?

    Yinka: He was shot in the arm.

    Simi: Babe, please, give me the full details and the hospital my son is.

    Yinka: Can you let me be for once? I said Toun is no longer with her, isn’t that supposed to make you happy? You should be asking where Toun is so that you will go and stay with him, not these unnecessary questions.

    Simi: I am not asking unnecessary questions, I believe I have every right to know how last night went and that shouldn’t cause any problem between us except you went down with her.

    Yinka: You know you have started. Why do you like using my past to taunt me? Must you always talk about me sleeping with Tonia? If you care to know, your son is in our family hospital. You can choose to go to him or remain here wanting to know whether I slept with Tonia or not.

    Simi: Yinka…………

    Yinka ignored Simi and walked into the bedroom to shower, and get four hours of sleep before going to the police station to finalize things. He remembered the event of the previous night and couldn’t help but appreciate God for the turnout of things. He remembered leaving the house confused but was grateful to the Holy Spirit who told him how to go about getting Toun out of Tonia’s custody without losing him and taking Tonia to bed.

    Simi walked into the bedroom and met her husband asleep, she decided not to disturb him but took her bath and went to the hospital. The thought of her son being free from Tonia’s claw made her very happy but then, she wished Yinka could tell her how it went.

    Done with dressing up, Simi took a cab to their family hospital, After asking about her son, she was directed to his ward. Getting to his ward, Simi broke down in tears, she was grateful that her son was back to her. She once asked herself how she would cope with Toun’s absence if Tonia succeeded in her plan but then, God proved to her that He is God.

    Simi couldn’t stop playing with his hair, she wished he was conscious to tell her all that happened. While she kept touching his hair, she began to sing his favorite song hoping that would help revive her son. Just as she thought, Toun suddenly opened his eyes when he heard his mother singing, she wasn’t singing just any song but his favorite.

    Simi wanted to hug him tightly but restrained herself, she didn’t want to worsen the pain in his bandaged arm.

    Toun: Mommy??

    Simi: My cute baby boy is back to mommy, I missed you so much, Champ.

    Toun: I missed you, mommy. What about Mr. Ken, is he okay? Hope he wasn’t killed. I told Dad to help him. He is a good man.

    Simi: Okay, calm down, son. I don’t understand all of these. What happened and who is Mr. Ken?

    Toun: Mummy, can you please tell Dad that I need to see him? I promised Mr. Ken that I would help him. He helped me, he showed Dad and the detective where I was kept.

    Simi: OMG! Alright, son, we will help him but right now, you need to get better and Dad is getting some sleep. He looked tired and pitiable when he walked in this morning. Once he gets here later today, we will work on helping Mr. Ken.

    Toun: Thank you very much, mummy, I love you.

    Simi: I love you, too, son.

    Simi watched her son fall asleep, the young boy wanted to be awake but the injection given to him won’t let him. Thinking about what Toun said, it was obvious a lot happened the previous night and Simi couldn’t wait to hear the full story.

    Some hours later, Yinka walked into Toun’s word looking handsome as usual. Simi couldn’t help but admire him, he was still as handsome as when they met. Simi welcomed him but his reply was cold meaning he was still angry with her.

    Simi: Sweet, you are still angry with me, right?

    Yinka: Let’s not disturb him.

    Simi: We won’t. I just want to say I am sorry for what I said this morning.

    Yinka: When will you realize that all I shared with Tonia wasn’t my fault? Do you think I am happy that I have kids with her?

    Simi: I am sorry.

    Yinka: No, you are not. I think you need to learn how to trust me if you want the ship of marriage to sail well.

    Simi: Babe, you are taking it too far. See, I am very sorry and I promise never to bring it up again. I understand that it’s not your fault but I just can’t help being afraid. I don’t want to lose my baby again.

    Yinka: Haven’t I promised you that you won’t lose me? What should I do to you when you talk about it again?

    Simi: Kiss me, carry me, and tell me that you love me.

    Yinka: You are joking, right?

    Simi moved closer to her husband, engaged his mouth in the business of kissing till she had gotten enough of it.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Fifteen:

    Toun found himself in a room the moment he became conscious, he stood up from the bed and walked to the door wanting to open it and go out but discovered it was locked. He then began to knock on the door hoping someone was around to open it. Just as he thought, someone opened the door but didn’t let him out.

    Toun: Can you please take me to my Mom and Dad? They must have been dead worried about me.

    Kidnapper: You still dey speak English ba? You dey tell me to say I no go school abi? If I slap you, you no go fit chop for three days.

    Toun: I just want to go to my parent. Is that too much to ask?

    Kidnapper: Haaa, see this rat oooh. If no be say madam say make I no touch you, I for beat you blue-black. You no even dey fear face?

    Toun: Why will I fear you when Jesus is here with me? See, my mom always says that if anyone tries to harm me, they will harm themselves instead. So, if you love yourself, take me to my parent.

    Kidnapper: Shuu! If you talk again, I will slap you.

    Toun: If you dare slap me, your hand will hang in the air. I know you kidnapped me. If you know what is good for you, take me back otherwise, the police will get you and you will have to spend the remaining of your life in prison.

    Kidnapper: Haa, hope say I never collect bad job? Madam no tell me say this child be ogbanje.

    Toun: Since you refused to take me to my parent, can you please, get me something to eat? Something healthy, please.

    Kidnapper: No wahala, na Madam money dey increase. I no go fit collect three hundred thousand for this kain job.

    The Kidnapper placed a call to one of his boys to get him a plate of jollof rice from the nearest eatery. He is afraid of going because he doesn’t want stories that touch and to think he believed Toun to be a possessed child. Toun thanked the Kidnapper, blessed the food, and then, invited him to join him but the Kidnapper simply hissed.

    Toun: I don’t know why you’ve refused to join me and to think it’s so delicious.

    Kidnapper: I go soon slap you.

    Toun: I can see you are very hungry. Come and join me before I finish it.

    Kidnapper: I say shut up your mouth.

    Toun: I am sorry, but do you know that Jesus loves you? My Dad always tells me that Jesus died on the cross to save everyone even the worst man on earth can be saved. You just need to open your heart to Jesus, He will save you and give you a better job because I know you are kidnapping people because you couldn’t get a job.

    Kidnapper: Haaa, who you be sef? Which power you get? I don know say na senior ogbanje you be.

    Toun: I have Jesus’ superpower If you become Jesus’ friend, He will give you plenty power.

    The Kidnapper suddenly became weak, the little boy whom he was sent to kidnapped was not ordinary. The most surprising thing was that all he said was true. He had never dreamed of becoming a kidnapper but after searching for a job for eight years, he had no choice but to accept the offer to be able to cater for his wife and children.

    Simi had been dead worried and restless, it’s been four days, and the police were not saying anything about her son. All they kept saying was that they were doing their job, Simi was becoming afraid, she was afraid of losing her first child. When Yinka was away, he was her confidant and only friend, there were times at midnight when she would be crying instead of praying, but Toun was the one who consoled her even though he was very young.

    If there is one thing she was so sure of, it is the fact that the hand of the Lord is upon Toun. She was aware that her son was meant to be a great vessel in God’s hands hence, she didn’t joke with teaching him about God.

    Simi refused to eat, sleep or even take her medication a week after Toun was kidnapped. Yinka and his mom tried to make Simi understand why she needed to eat but she was adamant.

    Simi made up her mind to fast and pray till her son returned to her not minding the fact that she was pregnant. On the fourth day of her fasting, she fainted and was rushed to the hospital. After being cared for, she was given a serious warning not to joke about eating and getting enough sleep if she didn’t want to lose the baby.

    Some days later, Yinka received a message from Tonia. How she managed to get his line remained a mystery to him. After reading the message, he showed his wife.

    “Hello, dearest husband,

    You don’t need to worry your head as to how I got your contact.

    I just want to inform you that your precious son is with me and I believe you won’t want him beheaded.

    Let’s meet at the Regency Hotel tomorrow at 10 pm. Meanwhile, come prepared because we may likely go three rounds.

    Don’t try to involve the police because if you do, you will receive the dead body of your son.

    See you soon, baby boy.”

    Simi: Haaa, Jesus! What are we going to do?

    Yinka: I will go to her.

    Simi: Go to her? Do you want to go and service her?

    Yinka: Instead of getting yourself worked up for nothing, why can’t you pray for me?

    Simi: Pray for you to do what exactly? To be able to satisfy her sexually?

    Yinka: Can you please trust me? Babe, I’ve vowed never to touch any other woman apart from you so, what I need now is your prayers.

    Simi: I am afraid, I don’t want to lose my son and I also don’t want to lose you to her again.

    Yinka: You won’t. God is in the midst of our battle, He will surely fight for us.

    Simi jumped down from the bed and hurriedly wore her clothes, she was about to leave the room for Toun’s school when Yinka held her hands.

    Yinka: Sweet, let me handle this, you are not emotionally fit to go.

    Simi: I will go, let me go and get my child.

    Yinka: Babe, please, let me handle this.

    Simi: No problem but don’t come back into this house without my son ooh.

    Yinka: It is well, God will bring our son to us unhurt. One more thing…

    Yinka quickly went on his knees and asked for his wife’s forgiveness. He was afraid of leaving the house when he was yet to get his wife’s forgiveness.

    Yinka: I know I have wronged you and I am sorry for what I did. Simi, please, find it in your heart to forgive me.

    Simi: Yinka, you beat me, you gave me scars and pushed me out. It’s like you didn’t know the gravity of what you did. I am trying not to make a negative pronouncement on you.

    Yinka: Haa, my wife, please, forgive me. For the sake of our son and that of our unborn child, please, forgive me.

    Simi: The plan I had yesterday was to inform you that I am pregnant but all I got was beating.

    Yinka: I am sorry.

    Simi: I have heard you. I am sorry for all I said too, please, forgive me.

    Yinka embraced his wife, kissed her forehead and belly, and then, they knelt to pray. After rounding up the prayer, Yinka felt at peace, he encouraged his wife to get some rest while he went to Toun’s school to get their son.

    Getting to Toun’s school, Yinka went to the admin’s block to speak to the Principal. Toun’s class teacher was invited who narrated all that happened to Yinka. Toun’s class teacher was taking her pupil’s social studies when Toun took permission to go to the restroom. His teacher waited for his return but didn’t see him. She went to the restroom and met his absence which made her alert the school authorities.

    What saved the school was that they had a CCTV camera planted in every corner of the school. They all went to the control room where they saw all that happened. The moment Toun got to the restroom, a gunman put a handkerchief in his nose which made become unconscious. The gunman carried him out of the school through the deserted path in the school and then drove away in a black van. Yinka became weak instantly, he didn’t know how to relate the news to Simi considering her condition.

    The Principal advised them to report to the police. The trio then drove to the nearby police station where they reported the case after presenting the clip from the CCTV camera. Then, Yinka was urged to go home and pray that the police help find Toun.

    Yinka walked dejectedly to his car, being the emotional type, he broke into tears the moment into his car. He wiped his tears some minutes later and encouraged himself with the fact that Jesus was with his son. As he walked into his sitting room, he met his wife and mother acting restless, he had ignored their call earlier because he didn’t know what to tell them.

    Mrs. Alake: Yinka, where is my grandson?

    Simi: Where is my son?

    Yinka: I need you two to calm down, Simi, you need to take things easy. Toun was kidnapped by a gunman but the police have begun a search. Let’s just back their efforts with prayers.

    Simi: Yeee, I must not lose my son. Jesus, where is my son? Please, bring him back to me.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Thirteen:

    Mrs. Alake arrived at her son’s house the following morning, she was shocked to meet her daughter-in-law shaking while asleep on the floor. She quickly dropped her luggage on the floor and helped Simi to her feet, she was heartbroken to see her face swollen. After Toun ended the call the previous night, she thought he was playing pranks on her because she knew what her son could do, she didn’t raise her sons to be wife beater but seeing Simi in a bad shape shows that Toun was saying the truth.

    Mrs. Alake knocked on the door countless times but Yinka refused to open up, he thought Simi was the one knocking. He ran downstairs to open the door immediately he heard his mother’s voice. The moment he opened the door and set eyes on his wife, his heart broke. He wished he hadn’t laid hands on her the previous night but it was like an unseen force pushed him.

    Mrs. Alake helped Simi into the sitting room and ensured she laid down on the three-seater chair before going after her son. She walked up to him and gave him two deafening slaps, at that point, she wished she could still beat him.

    Mrs. Alake: How dare you treat someone’s daughter like this? You even had the gut to lock her out, when did you become heartless? Was this the way I raised you? Have you ever seen your father beat me before? Wait! What type of father do you want to be to your son? The boy watched you beat up his mother, I am so disappointed. I came here to prove that all my grandson said over the phone was a lie, I am ashamed to say that you came out of me.

    Yinka: (crying) I am very sorry, ma. I never wanted to touch her but she pushed me to the wall by reminding me of my past, a story I don’t want to remember.

    Mrs. Alake: Is that an excuse? You even made her sleep outside. This isn’t the son I raised.

    Yinka: I am so sorry…..

    Before Yinka could finish his statement, Simi ran into the visitor’s toilet to throw up. Mrs. Alake looked at her and sensed that she was pregnant.

    Mrs. Alake: Yinka, you beat up a pregnant woman.

    Yinka: Not at all, mummy. She isn’t pregnant.

    Mrs. Alake: So you beat her up because she isn’t pregnant, right?

    Yinka: Not at all, ma.

    Mrs. Alake: Your father will hear about this. I am going to inform your brothers. Expect a family meeting very soon and if you dare absent yourself, you will hate the outcome.

    Simi came back to the living room and returned to where she was lying. Her look was pathetic which made Mrs. Alake unhappy.

    Mrs. Alake: Sorry, my daughter. Leave Yinka to me, I would report him to his elder brothers who will discipline him. He will never try this again.

    Simi: He can’t try it again because I will be giving him a divorce paper this week. I will get across to my lawyer later today. I am no longer interested in him, let him go back to his mistress.

    Mrs. Alake: Simi, please, you are the only one my family knows and accepts as his wife. Any other woman is a counterfeit.

    Simi: Mummy, Yinka beat me and threw me out of the house. Yinka claimed to love me but he made me sleep in the cold. What if something had happened to me? Well, maybe because I am an orphan.

    Mrs. Alake: Not at all, Simi. You mean so much to my family.

    Simi: During those years you were away, I didn’t even think of giving guys my contact talk more of discussing with them. I never harbored the thought of sleeping with any man. You now believe I cheated on you just saw a picture of me and a man together. See, I am tired of fighting battles, let’s end this and go our separate ways.

    With that, Simi went into the room leaving mother and son to have their discussion. She fell on the bed immediately after she got into the bedroom and slept off.

    Mrs. Alake: Have you seen your life? You will be the first divorced man in our family. See, if she gives you a divorce paper like she said, don’t ever step your foot into my house because if you do, you will regret ever coming out of me.

    With that, Mrs. Alake went to Toun’s room to prepare him for school since that was the last thing on his parent’s leaving Yinka in the sitting room. He sat on the chair looking sad, he wished he could turn back the hands of time, he wished he hadn’t let his emotions get the better part of him. Still, he couldn’t understand why it got to the point where he had to beat his wife.

    Simi had been asleep for four hours when the ringtone of her cell phone woke her up. She sat up and saw her husband sitting beside her on the bed. She ignored him and went ahead to pick up her call only to discover her foster mother, Mrs. Adepoju was the one calling.

    Mrs. Adepoju: come online, let’s talk through WhatsApp call, there is something I need to tell you urgently.

    Simi: okay, ma.

    Simi logged in and dialed Mrs. Adepoju’s WhatsApp line.

    Simi: Mommy, you called me.

    Mrs. Adepoju: I saw that a battle has been staged against you and your husband but you are on the losing end. I also saw that you are carrying a seed which nothing must happen to. Simi, what’s happening?

    Simi: (burst into tears) Mummyyyyyy……

    Mrs. Adepoju: Where is Yinka? I need to discuss this with him.

    Simi: He is here, ma.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Put the phone on speaker.

    Yinka: Good afternoon, mommy.

    Mrs. Adepoju: What’s happening, Yinka? What are you two doing or should I say what have you two done that is making you lose the battle staged against you?

    Yinka: I have a confession ma, I saw a picture of my wife and a man in a compromising situation yesterday and I lost it. We had a disagreement which led to a fight and I ended up beating her. Mummy, I am very sorry, I still can’t pinpoint what came over me.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Are you two okay? You are fighting a spiritual battle physically. Those pictures were bewitched. Kai! You two need to forgive one another and start fighting this battle the right way. Simi, I don’t know the seed you are carrying but you must not lose that seed.

    Simi: Mummy, I am six weeks pregnant.

    Yinka: what?? How?

    Mrs. Adepoju: Ehn ehn, my God isn’t an author of confusion. That child in you is the light of your family, the seed was sown in you that night you and your husband made love the first time after his return. Simi, don’t lose that pregnancy. Let go of the grievances you have against your husband and fight this battle like the strong and wise woman that you have been made to be.

    Yinka: Thank you, very much ma. We will do just as you advised us.

    Mrs. Adepoju prayed for the couple before ending the call. As soon as the call came to an end, Yinka received a call from Toun’s teacher.

    Mrs. Alex: Good afternoon, sir. Please sir, did you come to pick Toun?

    Yinka: What sort of a question is that? Please, hope my son is safe?

    Mrs. Alex: Sir, we have a situation here, Toun is missing.

    Simi: (jumped up from the bed) No oooo, nothing must happen to my son. You people should find my son before I get there.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Twelve:

    After that event, the love the couple had for each other grew rapidly, they suddenly couldn’t do without one another. If any of them had to travel to another state or village, they would go together. Not only that, they didn’t joke about praying together, they also created time to have a heart-to-heart discussion. They did everything they could to make their union interesting and fun-filled.

    Yinka got the job that Mrs. Adepoju’s younger brother offered him, it was more like the job of a manager and the pay was good, even if it wasn’t up to what he earned in the former company he worked for before he suddenly resigned.

    That morning, Yinka was filled with happiness, there was this joy bubbling inside him as he drove to work. Before leaving for work, his wife had said some sweet words to him and then made some positive declarations about his life. Five minutes later, he received some money he had been expecting for months. He smiled and thanked God for giving him a spirit-filled and sweet woman like Simi.

    Getting to the office, he sat on his chair and muttered a word of prayer before commencing the day’s work. Then, he picked up a file he was to work on and realized that there was a white envelope on it. He opened the envelope and what he saw almost broke his heart to pieces.

    In the envelopes were pictures of Simi and a random guy. In one of the pictures, Simi was in bed with the guy, in another picture, the random guy was kissing her. Yinka didn’t know when he burst into tears, if there is one person he doesn’t joke with, it’s Simi. If not for what happened, he wouldn’t have had any reason to touch another woman talk less of having children with her.

    He felt Simi had an affair with a man when he was with Tonia but what pained him was the fact that she hid it from him. Throughout that day, he was restless, at a point, it looked like his heart would break. When he couldn’t take it again, he fell on his knees and cried. For the first time since he came back to Nigeria, he got home late.

    Simi had been sick which was unlike her, she was the type that hardly fell sick. Since she was a nurse, she decided to run a test on herself, and surprisingly, the test revealed that she was six weeks pregnant. With joy bubbling inside of her, she pleaded with her colleague to stand in for her while she went home to have some rest.

    On getting home, the joy in her didn’t allow her to get a nap, instead, she went into the kitchen to prepare her husband’s favorite meal and then thought of a sweet way to break the news to him Done with cooking, she went into the bedroom to have a shower and then, rest for a short period only for her to wake up by 8 pm and discover that her husband wasn’t back. She was grateful that her son’s teacher brought him home.

    At that instant, she began to dial her husband’s line but he didn’t pick up, she called him over twelve times, yet, he didn’t pick up. Afraid that something bad must have happened to her husband, Simi began to pray for him.

    Some minutes later, Yinka walked in dejectedly. Simi quickly muttered a prayer of appreciation to God before going to meet him where he sat in the living room.

    Simi: Babe, are you fine? I was worried about you.

    Yinka: (wiped away his tears) I am fine.

    Simi: No, you are not, you are crying. Oh my God, you have been crying. Baby, please, talk to me.

    Yinka: I don’t think I should, can I just be alone?

    Simi: No, you can’t, my love. A problem shared is a problem solved.

    Yinka: (brought out the pictures and showed it to her) Can you explain this?

    Simi: (became shocked after looking at the pictures) What? Don’t tell me that you believe this, I can’t do that, please. Wait, is that why you have been crying? Please, wipe away your tears and stop acting like a baby.

    Yinka: I am acting like a baby, right?

    Simi: (becoming pissed) Sure, you are. You should know what I can do. If I didn’t mess up myself when things were hard for me in my university days, why should mess up myself now? I was celibate for the seven years you spent with Tonia, shouldn’t that make you trust me? I should be the angry one here, I should be angry that slept with my friend for seven years.

    Yinka: Don’t go there, Simi. I didn’t do that intentionally.

    Simi: Intentionally or not, you did it all the same. So, why are you now acting like an immature mummy’s boy when you saw this?

    Yinka: Simi, I have never laid hands on a woman before, don’t make me start.

    Simi: (moved closer to him) I dare you to touch me. Yinka, you will regret ever doing it.

    In the twinkle of an eye, more hurtful words were exchanged and as if being pushed by a force, Yinka slapped Simi, Simi retaliated with two slaps which led to a big fight between them. Yinka ensured he gave her the beating of her life and then, locked her out of the house.

    An eight-year-old Toun wept as he watched his parents fight in the sitting room. He watched his Dad beat up his mom and then, push her outside. Luck smiled at him when his father walked into the room leaving his cell phone in the sitting room. He picked it up, dialed his grandmother’s contact, and explained all that happened to her.

    Simi: But mommy……..

    Mrs. Adepoju: Shut up, Simi. You should be wiser now, you should do everything to safeguard your home now. The devil used you to destroy your home the first time but God’s mercy spoke for you. Do you want the devil to destroy your home the second time?

    Simi: No, ma.

    Mrs. Adepoju: One thing you should know is that Tonia is coming back to fight, she won’t give up till she learns a hard lesson. This is the time for you and your husband to rekindle your love and bond well so that when Tonia comes to strike, you two will be able to join hands and resist her attack.

    Simi: Mommy, I am being honest here, I can’t get over the fact that he had been sleeping with another woman for years. It still hurt me.

    Mrs. Adepoju: then, you have to first work on your mind. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you love your husband the way you should.

    Simi: Alright, ma. Thank you, mommy.

    Mrs. Adepoju: How far with his job? Has he gotten any?

    Simi: Not yet, ma. He submitted applications to different firms but he hasn’t heard anything from them.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Send his credentials to me, my younger brother needs someone to help him overseas with his new company.

    Simi: Wow! Thank you, Mommy, he will be so happy to hear this.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Anything for my baby girl, just ensure you take good care of him and see to the fact that a strong bond is created between you two.

    Simi: Alright, ma. I will do just that ma. Thank you, very much, ma. I love you, Mommy.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Love you, too baby girl. Don’t forget to get a a mind-blowing lingerie, it will do a great job. You need to make your first sex after seven years memorable.

    Simi: Mummyyyy….

    Mrs. Adepoju: wetin? Do as I said joor.

    Yinka had been worried about his relationship with Simi, he could see that she was finding it hard to relate freely with him. It’s been almost two months since he got his deliverance and reunited with his family, but then, Simi hadn’t been able to put the past behind her. She had been caring, loving, and a source of encouragement to him but, she found it hard to give her body to him. Where he sat, he muttered a word of prayer to God asking that Simi’s heart be opened to him so that he wouldn’t have any cause to be unfaithful to her.

    He was assisting Toun with his assignment that particular evening when the bedroom door opened. He saw Simi walked into the room looking happy and a little nervous. She asked Toun to go to his room with the claim that she wanted to discuss something important with his father. As soon as Toun left the room, Simi locked the door and removed the overall she was wearing revealing the seductive lingerie which she had hidden under the overall.

    Simi: So, tell me, darling, do you like what you see?

    At that instant, Yinka lost it. He stood from where he sat and went to meet her, and engaged her mouth in the business of kissing. Then, the couple took a journey to the world of sexual ecstasy.


    Tonia: Mom, what’s happening, it’s almost two months and you aren’t saying anything. I need my man back.

    Mrs. Mike: Calm down, young woman. We will strike when they least expect it. I have gone to see Baba and very soon, we will strike.

    Tonia: But mom…..

    Mrs. Mike: No but, you will come to Nigeria next month so that we can begin. Baba said we have to be tactical. First, we will break them asunder then strike. Keep calm, daughter, you will laugh last.

    Simi walked out of her car slowly, she was still trying to believe that her husband who had been away for seven years was back. Before she could say anything, her son asked her a question.

    Toun: Mommy, who is this?

    Simi: Yo……..ur d…….ad

    Toun: (became excited and ran to hug his father) Daddy!!!

    Yinka: (embraces his son emotionally amidst tears) See my son! He was a baby when I saw him last. I missed you, so much.

    Simi couldn’t stop tearing up where she stood, as she watched both father and son embrace each other emotionally, she wept more. She left the duo and went into the room where she knelt beside the bed and continued weeping. At that point, she didn’t understand why she was crying, she just found herself crying.

    She suddenly looked up the moment she felt a hand on her shoulder, she saw Yinka kneeling beside her.

    Yinka: My wife, I am sorry for all that happened. Tonia brought a flask of food to my office with the claim that you sent her. The Holy Spirit whispered to me not to eat food but I did because I felt you can’t hurt me. After eating the food, I had a strong urge to sleep with her and before I knew what was happening, I had sex with her right in my office.

    Simi: Jesus!

    Yinka: I came to my senses the moment I had ejaculated but I couldn’t reverse the situation. I tried to tell you what transpired between us but I couldn’t, I was afraid that hell would be let loose if I did.

    Simi: You should have informed me, we would have destroyed her plans through prayers.

    Yinka: She brought another flask of food the following day and commanded me to eat it, I didn’t know what came over me, I obeyed her again. The next thing was that I found myself in Canada with her. She claimed we got married and have two sons together. Simi, please forgive me, my life is a mess and I don’t know how to fix it.

    Simi: I was told you resigned.

    Yinka: I was under serious manipulation. If I had obeyed the nudging of the Holy Spirit, I wouldn’t have fallen into the pit she dug for me.

    Simi: You have two boys with her.

    Yinka: I am not sure, I don’t even know what to say. What if they are not mine, I will need a DNA test to prove that I am their father.

    Simi: (wipes her tears) They are yours, first you had sex with her, second, they look so much like you. They look so much like Toun.

    Yinka: My life is in a mess, I just need God to have mercy on me. How on earth would I have resigned from a job where I am being paid seven hundred thousand naira per month? How?

    Simi: (crying) I caused this for us, only if I knew how to close my mouth, only if I understood that not everyone who claims to love me truly does. But then, I have learned my lesson in a hard way. God will restore all we’ve lost, I believe that.

    Yinka: I am very sorry, my wife. I am sorry for all the troubles you went through, I am sorry for not being there when you and Toun needed me.

    Simi: it’s fine. Welcome back home, my husband. I missed you so much.

    Simi led her husband in songs of praise and together, they asked God for forgiveness and further asked for His divine intervention in their home.

    Mrs. Mike: How dare you, Tonia? Why did you let him out of your net? How dare you waste my efforts?

    Tonia: I am sorry, Mom. I didn’t know how he got the bottle.

    Mrs. Mike: So, where is he?

    Tonia: I don’t know, mom. His lines are not going through and he isn’t at work. I hope he hasn’t gone back to that witch.

    Mrs. Mike: I sense that he is with her.

    Tonia: Mommy, I will fight for my man. I will not be on the losing end, Yinka is for me.

    Mrs. Mike: Are you sure you can give it what it takes?

    Tonia: Mommy, I am ready. I can’t lose him now, not when I am pregnant with my third child.

    Mrs. Mike: I will send someone to check if he is with Simi, then, I will ask you to come back to Nigeria. We will fight the battle here in Nigeria.

    Tonia: Thank you, mom. I love you so much.


    Mrs. Adepoju: Congratulations daughter, I am so happy for you. Thank God for the victory. I hope you are taking good care of him. You need to spoil him with love and care so that he won’t think about the other woman.

    Simi: Hmm, Mommy, I am doing my best but I still bring myself to have sex with him.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Are you okay, at all? It’s like you want me to come to Nigeria and give you a deafening slap.

    Tonia had a very stressful day at work and all she wanted was dinner, a good body massage, and a good night’s rest. She thought of Yinka’s massaging skills and got laughing, she was happy to have him to herself even if she got him the wrong way. She thought about his sexual prowess and laughed harder. She then promised herself that she would do everything within her power to ensure Yinka remained hers.

    While she drove herself home, she couldn’t but appreciate her mom for having a hand in her union with Yinka. Yinka is the type of man every woman needs like, he is the dream man of every woman. He is caring, loving, and domesticated to the core. His soothing words were another thing she loved about him. Tonia was no longer concerned about how Simi felt, all that mattered to her was happiness.

    After driving for forty minutes, Tonia arrived home and as she stepped into the room, she began to have a strange feeling. First, her boys were not home yet and Yinka was peacefully sitted which was unlike him, he would have driven to the boys’ school to pick them up. The next thing was that Yinka was cold to her, the normal Yinka would have run to her and plastered her face with kisses but he remained on the sofa looking like someone who lost something. Suddenly, Tonia’s eyes fell on the bottle her mother gave to her, her mother got it from an herbalist and as long as she added the content in it to Yinka’s food, he would never remember Simi and her son. The warning she was given was that he mustn’t set eyes on the content of the body otherwise, the charm will lose its potency.

    Tonia: (acting like she knew nothing) Babe, what’s on the table? Did you get drugs? Are you ill?

    Yinka: What am I doing here? Why is this house filled with pictures of you and me? Who are those boys? Where is my wife and baby? When did I come to Canada? The last time I checked, I was the managing director of a company back in Nigeria and I am happily married to your friend. So, what happened?

    Tonia: Fine! You want to hear the truth right? The day I walked into your office with lunch claiming Simi asked me to give it to you, Simi never sent me, I came on my own, and that food was laced with a love portion.

    Yinka: Jesus! I can remember. Oh my God, why are you this wicked?

    Tonia: wicked you say? I am not the wicked one here, Simi is. Why did she take pleasure in mocking my singleness? Listen, we are legally married with two boys and nothing can change that fact. So, let’s act like nothing happened because if you try to play a fast one on me, I will get you arrested for rape and irresponsibility.

    Simi slept off after praying praying for some hours, she then had a dream that scared her to the bone marrow. She saw Yinka bound with chains but a light from above came and broke the chain, he screamed for joy and made to leave the room where he was held bound but his captor came in, pushed him back and tied him with the chain. Simi began to cry and pray again, it was obvious her prayers had been answered but the enemy wanted to reinforce. At that point, the Holy Spirit told her to use the covenant and bond of their marriage to draw her husband back to herself. Simi prayed and prayed till she felt a satisfaction in her spirit after which, she began to give glory to God.

    Where Yinka sat in the living room, it was as if something entered into him and pushed him out of the house. He wanted to be anywhere but not in the same house with Tonia because he knew that she would be working on tying him down again. Luckily for him, he had taken his ATM and vital documents immediately he came to his senses. As he left the house, he told himself it was best he returned to Nigeria so that Tonia wouldn’t implicate him.

    That evening, he took a cab to the airport, bought a return ticket back to Nigeria, and was lucky to get an airplane traveling to Nigeria the following day.

    Simi was depressed that day, she had been praying for her husband’s return for almost seven years and it looked like nothing was happening. She tried to encourage herself with the fact that everything would be fine but she soon found herself wallowing in unhappiness. Her son would be turning seven in two weeks and the birthday gift he wants from her is to see his father, she wonder how she would grant that request.

    As soon as she closed from work, Simi went to Toun’s school to pick him up and together, they went home. A look at her son showed she wasn’t happy but she had no strength to deal with his tantrums that evening.

    After an hour’s drive, Simi drove into her compound and was surprised to see someone sitting in front of her verandah. She came down from the car and came face to face with Yinka after seven years. How could she have forgotten the face, the stature, and the look that awakened the butterflies in her tummy years back?

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Eight:

    Within two minutes, Vera sent thirty pictures to Simi on WhatsApp. At first, Simi was afraid to check but she later summoned courage. The first picture almost made her run mad, in it, Yinka and Tonia were holding one another tightly like a couple in love. The second picture was that of Tonia’s two boys who were twins and they shared a strong resemblance with Toun, her son.

    As Simi kept looking at the pictures, she felt her heart break, the betrayal was too much for her to bear. At that point, one thing came to her mind and that was giving Yinka a divorce. She wanted to be free from the shackle called marriage. She had been praying and fasting for the return of her husband with the mind that he was probably kidnapped. Simi glanced at one of the pictures and concluded that Yinka wasn’t under any kind of spell.

    Simi began to regret getting married to Yinka, she wished she had traveled out to meet Mrs. Adepoju after her graduation. Right there, she picked up her phone and dialed Mrs. Adepoju’s number, and luckily for her, Mrs. Adepoju picked up immediately.

    Mrs. Adepoju: How are you, daughter?

    Simi: (weeping) Mummy, I am not fine oooo. Do you know where Yinka has been all this while?

    Mrs. Adepoju: Where? Have you seen him?

    Simi: Mummy, Yinka is in Canada with Tonia, They got married over there and now, they have two boys.

    Mrs. Adepoju: This is unbelievable, how do you get this information?

    Simi: A friend of mine who traveled out and saw her sent me the pictures. Mummy, I am done with this marriage, I am getting a divorce. I have been here crying, fasting, and praying for him not knowing that he went away with another woman.

    Mrs. Adepoju: calm down, daughter. Getting a divorce isn’t the solution, do you want the devil to win this battle?

    Simi: (wipes her tears) Mummy, I am tired of fighting this battle. Can I just come over and move on with my life?

    Mrs. Adepoju: not yet. Getting this information is a sign that God has shown you mercy and has started fighting your battles for you. You will intensify your prayers so that God can fight this battle to the end. Something tells me that you are the root cause of this situation but then, let’s not dwell in the past. My husband and I will join you in prayers, let’s make it every night vigil and I believe that God will do something huge very soon.

    Simi: Thank you, mummy. God bless you, ma.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Crying won’t solve the problem. Appreciate God for this revelation and tell Him to perfect all that concerns this situation.

    Simi: Alright, ma.

    Mrs. Adepoju: Please, take good care of yourself and Toun.

    Simi: I will ma.

    Two years later,

    Yinka was washing the dishes in the kitchen when his hand mistakenly hit something in a polythene bag. The previous day was his wife’s birthday and since today happens to be his off, he decided to help clear the dishes. While washing, he tried to pick something from the cabinet when his hand hit a bottle tied inside a polythene nylon. The bottle fell to the ground and broke, Yinka untied the polythene nylon and as soon as his eyes came in contact with the content in the bottle, he regained his senses.

    Simi couldn’t hold back tears as she drove back home, she didn’t even mind the fact that her son was looking at her. She just wanted to know what she did wrong that made God angry with her. She needed to know the exact thing she did, she didn’t keep any friend save Tonia and Tonia happens to be a genuine child of God. She wanted to know the strong woman holding her husband captive because she was sure it could never be Tonia.

    Tonia is happily married to a man who loves her with everything in him so, it’s not Tonia. On getting home, Simi ensured her son was fine before going into her prayer room, that’s the room she and Yinka go to whenever they need to communicate with Heaven. As she entered the room, she fell flat on the floor and began to ask for God’s mercy after worshipping Him for one hour.

    For months, Simi kept on asking God for mercy but it was like He wasn’t listening to her, there were days she would fast and pray just for forgiveness, and there were days she would cry like her life depended on it. When she became tired, she went back to the Pastor who told her to keep asking for mercy because God wants her to learn before giving her the answers to her prayer.

    After one year of praying for mercy, Simi woke up one morning and was preparing her son for school when one of her coursemates back in her university days who knew about her husband’s disappearance called her. At first, Simi didn’t want to pick because she was yet to know who the powerful woman who held her husband captive was but on second thought, she decided to pick and hear what she had to say.

    Vera: How have you and Toun been?

    Simi: God has been watching over us?

    Vera: It is well. How are you coping with getting money?

    Simi: I got a job with my certificate, remember I studied nursing.

    Vera: Awesome one, dear! I am sorry for keeping this away from you.

    Simi: what’s that?

    Vera: I am currently out of the country, I left six months ago but I was told to be quiet about it so that it would be successful.

    Simi: okay……….

    Vera: Three months after I got here, I bumped into Tonia. I was shocked to see her because she didn’t tell anyone that she relocated to Canada and to think she was married with two children. She apologized and said she had to keep everything secret because we can’t trust people.

    Simi: Yes, she relocated to Canada. She actually met her husband on Social Media, he lives in Canada so, she traveled to meet him and they got married there.

    Vera: can you just shut up? Which husband did she meet on social media? The baby in her arms that day shared a strong resemblance with your son which made me curious. We said our goodbyes after talking for some minutes but I didn’t go away, I followed her to where she lived and discovered that the man she was calling her husband was your Yinka. That girl is evil, she is married to Yinka and to think she now has two sons for her.

    Simi: Never! Tonia can never do that, she isn’t with Yinka. Tonia is a good woman and I can attest to that.

    Vera: See this one, that was why I kept the information to myself all this while. Let me send you the pictures.

    πŸ™Ž The One I Called Friend Episode Six:

    Simi came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around her body, her eyes fell on her sleeping son and she couldn’t just hold back the tears, she let it flow freely hoping she would feel better after letting it out. She wiped her face, moved closer to her son, and played with his hair. Toun reminded her of Yinka every single day and one miracle she has been asking God for is that her husband be brought back to her.

    She remembered the last day she saw him, he came home late looking tired and unkempt, a closer look at her husband made her realize that he had been crying. She stopped what she was doing and ran to him trying to know what was wrong but all he kept doing was crying. Simi led him to the bathroom and ensured he freshened up before taking him to the bed to get some rest.

    Getting to the bed, Yinka held Simi’s hands and asked her to forgive him for committing an unforgivable sin against her. Simi who was now afraid tried to know what went wrong but he promised to tell her the following day. The following day came but Yinka didn’t return home.

    Simi who thought he had been kidnapped reported the situation at the police station but the efforts of the police yielded no results. She searched everywhere she could for her husband yet, she didn’t find him. Her inlaws did all they could but no one was able to get Yinka. His lines never went through and to worsen the situation, his social media handles were disabled.

    Simi was advised to visit his office and on getting there, she was told he had resigned. Simi was shattered but she kept praying and hoping that her husband would come home one day. It had been four years now and Simi hadn’t set her eyes on her husband.

    Her alarm clock rang bringing her back to consciousness, the alarm reminded her that she had a program to attend. She watched a television program hosted by a man of God, the message the man preached touched her greatly and his prayer gave her hope. Then, she decided she needed to see him and discuss her husband’s disappearance with him hoping the Lord would give him a message for her.

    Simi woke her son, bathed him, and dressed him after which she dressed herself and left for the Pastor’s church. She drove for almost two hours before she finally located the church and luckily for her, she met him in the church speaking with some elders and their wives. She was later allowed to speak to him after he had discarded the elders.

    After listening to Simi, the pastor held her hands and prayed with her, in the course of the prayer, his eyes were opened to the cause of Yinka’s disappearance.

    Pastor: We believers make great mistakes after we receive God’s blessings. We tend to forget the agony we went through before the blessing came. In a twinkle of an eye, we throw away the blessing that took us years of sacrifices to get.

    Simi: You are speaking in parable, sir.

    Pastor: God gave your husband to you as compensation for serving Him even when things were tough, He gave your husband to you because only Him can be the mother and father you didn’t have. But, you threw that great blessing away with your mouth.

    Simi: Yeeeeee, Have mercy on me, Lord.

    Pastor: Your husband isn’t dead neither was he kidnapped. God hears your prayers but He isn’t happy with the way you handled the blessings He gave to you. Hear this, your husband is in the custody of a powerful woman and only your prayers can liberate Him. But, your prayers can’t be answered until God forgives you and sees that you are ready for restoration.

    Simi: Ha

    Pastor: I will advise that you go and begin to ask God for forgiveness because He is the only one who can give you the right prayer point that can liberate your husband and, bring him back to you.
