Last episode

Different emotions swirled within her. Surprise. Relief. The joy of reciprocated love. And fear.

‘Do you remember the words I’d spoken to you the first night I found you in the bar?’ Gavin asked.

She swallowed and nodded, she had just been dumped by Paul after telling him about her past. He wasn’t interested in her tale of woe, and informed her without waste of time, that he was more interested in getting married to an untainted woman.

Now she thought of it, Ore realized she had been crying for a different reason. It wasn’t because Paul had chosen to leave her; it was the term of description used by him- to describe his ideal woman: “untainted woman.”

His words had made her feel incomplete and defiled.

‘What did I say?’ He asked.
Without permission, he grabbed her hands and raised them to his lips.

Blood rushed in her veins by this innocent display of affection.

‘You told me that the Holy Spirit had led you to find your destiny.’ Ore hadn’t forgotten any of her conversations with Gavin.

In fact, the memories of the times she had spent with Gavin were all that had kept her alive when her sister had kidnapped her.

‘Good. I fought with this feeling for a long time, because I wanted to be sure of you.

But, I have come to the truth that you are the woman for me and there is no one else.’

He loved Ore right from the moment he had set his eyes on her, but she had always been the one to block him out.

‘I love you Ore. The worst time of my life was during your absence. I had sleepless nights. I was confused and lost, until the Spirit assured me that you were fine wherever you were. And he also told me to give you space, because you were struggling with something.’

Ore’s heart skipped on hearing this. She had not shared her secrets with Gavin yet, neither had she shared her experience at the hospital.
‘Did the Spirit really tell you this?’ She was surprised.

‘Yes. Remember the night you rushed out of the car into Walstreet Odoja?’

Ore quickly nodded, while waiting for a response.

‘I wanted to pursue after you, but the Spirit told me to leave you alone. He even sent some Angels to block me.’ He added.
His confession made Ore realize that they were both destined to be together from the beginning, but she was still afraid…

‘I love you Ore, even when my mother brought Delilah into our home, my heart was still with yours.’

Ore knew about the woman that Gavin’s family almost forced upon him, she was still the woman whom her sister had been dating. And she had died right there in the Hotel room, before Ore’s eyes.

‘Gavin…’ she dared to look him in the eye. A feeling of warmth spread over her, as she saw naked concern in his eyes.

‘Yes?’ He smiled and held unto her eyes.
‘I saw Jesus in the Hospital and he fixed me.’ She licked her lips nervously.

This came as a shock to Gavin. His brows furrowed together and his lips parted into a wider smile.

‘I was a very broken woman…I have a past and I don’t know if you could handle that.’ She bit her lip, not knowing how to begin.
Gavin sensed her inability to break this news to her, so he decided to help her, to make it less awkward.

‘You don’t have to talk about it Ore. I know everything. I know what those repugnant men did to you. I understand why you were always pushing me out and avoiding me at first, but I don’t care about your past. I don’t care about the lies people spread about you…’ he wanted to say more but she chipped in.

Ore laughed, ‘Did Lily tell you what we discussed?’ Only his sister could have told him this.

Gavin nodded, ‘Are you mad about that?’ Ore shook her head, she wasn’t angry at anyone, she was in a good place.

‘My sister is also sorry for everything that happened, I hope you two becomes friends one day.’

Ore sniggered, ‘Let’s see how things go. Are you really sure she told you everything?’ She needed to be sure Gavin was prepared to accept her as she was.

He gave her hands a light sq££ze, ‘Let me be honest with you Ore. Your past was never in question. Even if you were a call girl or a murderer, I would forgive you and still be with you. I love you more than anything else, and when there is love, the shadows of the past have no power.

What matters is the present. You cannot change what happened in the past, but right now, you can determine what you want in future.’

She was so excited that he had accepted her like she was. His love for her, confirmed what Jesus had said to her.

‘Jesus told me that we are destined to be together.’ She relayed this excitedly.
Gavin was equally thrilled with the message, ‘So what are we waiting for?’ He pulled her closer to him.

Ore’s heart spiraled on a high wave of happiness and satisfaction, ‘I love you Gavin. You make me complete.’ She released herself into his arms and buried her face in the valley of his chest.

She felt home. She felt secure. She was done fighting the world on her own.

‘You don’t know how happy I am to hear that.’ He raised her head up, and cupped her face between his large hands.

‘Say it again,’ he licked his lips.
‘I love you Gavin Adediran.’ She was not done with her amorous confession when he evaded her plump lips with a sweet and innocent kiss which felt like heaven.

Ore felt fulfilled, her journey to true happiness and everlasting love had just begun and nothing would destroy this second chance that life and Jesus had offered her.

Now they were bonded, they would help Oye find her own path to freedom and righteousness.
