my secret sin episode 5

I was surprised too because I thought I'd never go there again but it's like I was compelled.

No! It's not what you are thinking. Haba na! I did not go alone. I went with the Most High. I went to offer him Christ.

I stood at the door feeling reluctant to knock. After a while, I did.

He opened the door and was surprised to see me. He stood at the door confused whether to let me in or not. We stood in total silence staring at each other.

After awhile, I broke the silence, "Fred, I'm. "

"No! No! No!" he cut in. "You don't need to be sorry," he said emphatically. I should be the one apologising.

"Onyeche, I'm sorry, it's over between us."
"Over?" I asked faking the surprise just to hear more. "Please forgive me Onyeche, you're now my past."
"Fred, what happened? Did I do anything wrong?" The woman in me wouldn't tell him the reason I visited. I wanted to feed my curiosity.

"No Onye, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I have found true love."

"Fred will never change," I chuckled. "Is that why you couldn't even welcome me in? Is she inside?"

"Nobody is in," he said paving the curtain to give me a better view of the room.

"You mean your love for me was never true? Where did I get it wrong Fred?" I enquired just to hear his opinion because from onset, I knew we were into an illicit love affair that will lead to nowhere except hell.

"Onyeche, I must confess, you were not my first love. I left my first love for you. I thought I could hold on to both of you at a time but it's never possible. I've decided to return and start all over again with my first love."

"Hmm! Who could that be Fred? You told me you love me and promised never to let me go." "This love is different from what I felt for you then," he said confidently exuding great joy.
"This love is genuine. This love is pure. This love doesn't fail. This love has covered my past and given a future. This love is shed abroad in my heart." He was nodding his head as he spoke with total peace.

"Onyeche," he called placing his hands on my shoulders. "I HAVE FOUND TRUE LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS. I have returned to my first love. Onyeche, there is no better love than the love of Christ. There is no love outside Christ. What have we gained from the sin we called love? What has fornication added to our lives? Why not give this love a chance to find its expression in your life?"

The joy I felt in my spirit knew no bounds when I heard those words from Fred.

"Fred, this love is what brought me here. This love found me some months back. I came here just to offer you this love but I'm overwhelmed with joy to know that this love has found you too. This is miraculous."

"It is the Lord's doing," he said. "Do you mind coming in?" he added leading the way. "No, I don't mind," I replied as I followed from behind.
This time around, I was not on his bed. We knelt beside his bed in prayer thanking God for His unfailing love, amazing grace and His undeserved mercy.

I was dead, and now alive again; I was lost, and found.

I am Onyeche, I only exist in #Adogasimagination.
