Several months later, Wuse II community was treated to a big wedding as Chidube and I were married with our children’s and the entire community’s blessing.. It wasn’t a lavish affair and we seemed a bit like brother and sister. Then the whirlwind honeymoon with the kids. . . . Now, we slept on the same bed but there was no intimacy between us.
On our return, Chidube and his son moved into my much larger house and the family was one as Chidube and I shared a bed like a brother and sister. Life continued as it once had..
Our first day at home, after the honeymoon, was filled with little trials and tribulations as the family learned to live together. We enjoyed each other’s support as we built our new family. Next day, life went smoother and more efficiently as we continued our living together.
I thought about my life and what lay before me. Chidube was a nice guy, a great father and a gentleman. . . an example for the community! Of course, he could never replace Festus as my lover. . . I was sure that Festus was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me! I’d had s*x with Chidube when the occasion demanded and he made no demands on me that I found distasteful or not to my liking. I had done my best to please my new husband!
It was that night at dinner that I took notice of Chidube’s relationship with the children. They all three loved him and respected him as he set a good example; yet, he was strict with his rules for their behavior. As I sat, Chidube glanced around the table to get everyone’s attention; then, he asked the blessing on the family and the meal. Again, I noticed how he needn’t use words to maintain his discipline. . . I was impressed.
I am extremely grateful to God for Being merciful to me. It is a shame that I got involved in an adulterous fling that traumatized my family and led to my first husband’s demise. I can never be proud of my misbehaviour. I regret it.
I was beclouded by what other women were saying or appeared to be enjoying, and I got tempted into doing what I never envisaged, so my husband died as a result. But because my repentance was genuine, I am convinced God showed mercy towards me and blessed me.
I am married again!
When you make mistake, face the consequences squarely when they come no matter how tragic it may be. But above all, show genuine repentance as you make a strong volition never to repeat the mistake. God will forgive and bless you again! I wrote my story to teach the world these lessons. Thanks
