When her husband got the scholarship to study abroad for his Ph.D, she was full of joy! They were both in the academia and he had been a very strong influence on her career choice and path! He was a big brother, a friend and a guide!
Her husband was a genius, an academic star
They made all the necessary arrangements. It was not her husband's first time travelling abroad for academic purpose, he was an exchange student with a university in Norway as an undergraduate and he did his Masters degree in America! They actually met at a party in the states
She was an undergraduate then!
It was love at first sight for her.
There was something about him that called out to her, and unlike herself she positioned herself to be noticed!
He got the hint and gave her the chase she deserved!
They got married three years later in Nigeria
They had a wonderful marriage, the first year was uninterrupted by work or travel! Their second wedding anniversary was approaching when he got the fully funded scholarship!
He made all the preparations and travelled!
She was all enthusiastic, happy and positive before he left
But barely a week after he left, she started feeling out of sorts.
There was an "unsettled" cloud all about her! It had nothing to do with him! It was all her! They didnt have a child yet and she had hoped their farewell week everyday love making would leave her pregnant for him
When she saw her period, it triggered something!
The problem was silent, it was like tension building gradually! She started having all sorts of strange thoughts and ideas about their marriage! She didnt enjoy living alone & having no one to share her bed with!
Everything was odd
He called one evening and she burst into tears!
It was really tough for her
She was lonely and unhappy
He was really concerned for her
The next day, a friend of his showed up!
He was their best man
The friend was in the academia with them and happily married
He came with his wife
The friend and his wife drew very close to her
She was an orphan and had always longed for a family of her own
They tried as much as possible to bridge the gap
She was not helpless but she needed the company badly
They went to church together and she spent a lot of time with them
As days turned to weeks, she found herself developing a strange chemistry with her husband's friend
He was a good listener, caring to a fault
She had caught him looking at her "that way"
She knew when a man wanted to ravish her
He did
She knew he would, if she gave him the chance
She found herself fantasizing about him
She needed the sex
Plus, she really didnt know what her husband was doing to satisfy himself sexually where he was
She didn't want to be a faithful loser
Why not live in the moment
Enjoy the sex...
Nobody needed to know!
It's just sex!
Sex
Husband's friend noticed her girly flirts as soon as she started throwing them at him
It was a subtle green light
He measured up
They started meeting alone
Talking in abstracts
Touching each other with a warm familiarity
She knew they were building up a deliberate fire of lust
They would both jump into it and then claim they were overtaken by the moment
She knew the game
She knew how the devil will be blamed
Some tears and guilt would follow
They will end up stopping somehow
Or they may end up together
It would cause a scandal
Why think that far ahead?
They started going out without his wife
She told him where the extra key to her apartment was
She would call him and ask him to bring somethings by on his way back from work
They spent like an hour together twice a week
Just to talk
Eventually they kissed!
It was soft and tingly!
The day after they kissed, he called her and told her he wouldn't want to come around any more
He could see that they were playing with fire
She told him they can control it
He was the reason she had not committed suicide
It was all manipulations
He wanted to sleep with her!
She wanted to sleep with him
Neither of the wanted the burden of the guilt
So he created an excuse and she opened the door wider!
He said he would come and see her the next morning, they needed to talk
She knew he was coming to sleep with her
She was longing for the sex too!
6:30 AM the next morning, her phone rang
She picked!
It was the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt!
He introduced himself
She knew him from twitter
She didn't know how he got her phone number
He said she had sent him her phone number months before when he was creating a WhatsApp group
She remembered
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt said "I was praying and I feel a strong urge to call you, are you fine?"
She wanted to say everything was fine
To her surprise, she found herself crying like a baby and telling him everything
She tried but couldn't stop herself!
They spoke for over two hours
He listened
She unburdened
It was as if the Holy Spirit took a pin to a balloon!
She had been so pent up, so tensed up
By the time the conversation ended, she was feeling light
She was shocked by the timing of the Holy Spirit
It was very surreal!
They prayed together
She was filled with the Holy Spirit
She prayed in tongues
Her heart was full of joy
The call ended around 9am
Her husband's friend called at 10am
She told him not to come around again
Her weak knees had been strengthened!
She was gushing with living waters
Eighteen months flew by
Her husband returned
There was no guilt, no shame
She couldn't believe she was able to somehow keep it together
Jesus did it
He entered into his temple
His seed found life
She delivered a baby boy in September 2019

The Holy Spirit kept her from falling!
