The voice of blood
Final EpisodeEpisode 22
....
The conducive environment, fascinating colours all round; colourful light at different positions; sounds sweeting the soul; cool air gracing the air.
Faces graced with heavy makeovers that transformed a mother to a 'sweet sixteen'; the ears was the pillar for colourful shining golds; hairs in different patterns and length; the body was decorated with different versions of gowns; they were higher than they really are; the look on their faces explains beauty better.
But beside each of these heads were another set of heads which were neither hairless nor short. They wore suits in common but of different colours and designs; their shining shoes and wrist watches were outstanding.
Welfare was perfect. A set of people in uniform served the drinks while the guests were going around to exchange pleasantries.
The chairs and tables setting was exceptional. Looked as if more of standing would be done and when the time comes to sit, it was already provided with maximum of two people on a table except Carolina's Parent's table which was three because they already informed the organizers about them bringing their daughter. This made the chairs to become one more than the hundred budgeted for.
In just about few minutes before the commencement of the program, Ademi and Catherine walked into the hall holding hands. Catherine greeted some people while Ademi just followed her about. Just because he wasn't comfortable, he pestered Catherine to reduce her pleasantries and let them go have their seats.
The were behaving as if everything was fine but Ademi keeps wondering why she chose to pretend in front of these people. Anyways he flowed along and enjoyed the moment while it lasted.
In no time, the event started and it was a nice place to be. After about an hour into the activities, Carolina and her parents walked in but didn't get attention at all. They had their seats and it seemed like they all looked tensed.
The varieties served was a course on it's own. Except the fact that you want to comport yourself in settings like this, you sure would want to taste every bit of what was being carried around but then, the life in the program will also take your mind a little bit away from food and junks served. The fun; advice, testimonies, games, music and many more lightened up everyone and it was as if they shouldn't go back to their homes.
In no time, it was the last person's turn to give the final talk for the day and they did think they had seen it all until this section. It was supposed to be a closing remarks but it turned out to be the best part.
OMAA was a good friend of the host and was asked to take the closing remarks. He didn't just do that, he also brought Ademi and Carolina close again.
Everyone watched him as he walked towards the stage and held the microphone with his two hands. Then he began:
"Hi everyone. I am so glad to be part of this program and i so much appreciate what this has done to my marriage. I know many of us have had this kind of nice time with our spouse(s) for a long time. I feel i need to say something quickly.
Everyone please look at your spouse eyeball to eyeball and tell him/her that 'do you know that i am attached to you with a strong cord?'.
Say again that 'Do you know that what we have together is not just love but an unnoticed covenant'. Everyone said this but with a surprise face.
I can see the reactions on your faces and if your question is how, then please listen.
Have you ever questioned the importance of blood? I don't mean its importance in the body but in other ways it's been used. Why do ritualists and other evil doers have to kill a living thing not for other thing but because of the blood? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever questioned how oath works just because of the blood included? Have you ever noticed why Jesus Christ (as the Christians believe) had to shed his blood to break the evil covenant? (Christians believe that you can be washed away from all sins and evil curses by the blood of Jesus. But why blood?)
There is this voice a blood has and we don't seem to notice.
Blood is the foundation or backbone of every covenant and it takes another blood to change such covenant" at this point, Ademi and Carolina were having more understanding of what they had done. On their different seats, they were already scared and Carolina almost started crying before she controlled it.
Omaa continued "Do you know that the night of a wedding where the newly married couple get to officially and legally have their first sex is another covenant to a new life.
One thing about sex that we don't know is that it is spiritual and an attachment that has no visible cord but has effect like a covenant. Just like a conjoined twins have no option than to do things together; that whatever happens to A also happens to B so also is sex. You don't want to curse someone you have had sex with because you are also cursing yourself and it's same as when you bless them.
So as we are couples here, let's know that there is a cord joining us and we should always wish our spouses well. Thank you." OMAA dropped the microphone and was heading to his sit but while getting down on the stage, he went back like he forgot to say something. He took the microphone again "So sorry to come back, i want to say that if there's anyone that thinks he/she is receiving the impact of a covenant, please see me at the end of this event. Thanks"
Immediately he said this, Ademi felt that he needed to see OMAA but he was scared of how to explain to his wife because she can end up asking why he wants to see him and all. Carolina wanted to do the same but was also afraid of her parents asking or wanting to follow her so she locked up and promised herself to get his contact anyway.
While Ademi and his wife was heading out, he reluctantly told her that he wished he could talk with OMAA and immediately, Catherine took it up and took him right towards OMAA without even asking why he wanted to see him but Ademi was still scared because she was going to stay with him.
Ademi's fear was killed when he met with OMAA and Catherine excused them to meet her celebrity crush. In fact, that was her own intention to use the opportunity to talk to the organizer of the event and since OMAA and her celebrity crush were friends, she quickly used the opportunity wisely.
Ademi started pouring out everything to OMAA and while he was doing that, Carolina was in the car with her parents heading home but in few minutes after, they turned back towards the hall like they forgot something. And truly her parents forgot to see their friends they planned to see and after receiving the calls from them, they had to turn back.
While they got to the hall, it looked to Carolina that her parents were going to stay long and so she excused them while she was going to wait for them in the hall.
As soon as she left her parents presence, she started looking for OMAA and while doing that, Catherine came disturbing the conversation between Ademi and OMAA. She took an excuse and was very serious.
As soon as they got out of the hall, Carolina met with OMAA and started discussing. Catherine gave Ademi his phone to pick a WhatsApp call from a foreign country. She was really boiling like someone who has been betrayed. Ademi picked the call and it was a voice of a female 'hello! This is Bimbola. You read my message and didn't reply and you think i will leave you alone? You better reply and let's start talking because you are the one behind it and i am sure of it" she hung up and Ademi was wondering what she was talking about.
He was about checking the message when Catherine snatched the phone and opened the same message to show him. "What is this? How will you get someone pregnant and you didn't tell me about it? So you have a wife and all you are doing is to play me to get a permanent stay here. No wonder you were pretending as if you are impotent. You played your game well but right now, you have failed because i am done with you and you are leaving this country tomorrow." She left with anger without hearing the side of Ademi. Another disaster at the peak of solving one.
He couldn't even think. All his mind was to get to OMAA and finish his explanations including the new thing that happened and beg him to help out by explaining all to his wife because he was scared to do so.
He walked towards OMAA and was praying he should still meet him there but another shock happened. At the entrance, Carolina was leaving while Ademi met her. It was a big shock to the two lovers and all you can hear was a very loud Silence. Both of them kept looking at each other.
'This is the person i was talking about,' Ademi and Carolina finally said to OMAA to break the silence but OMAA was already late for his flight. His escorts were already hastening him and what he did was to pray for them and led them to Christ. He told them that since they had a multiple blood covenant, that the only way to break it is to use another blood which is the blood of Jesus Christ.
In no time, he left them in the room and both of them continued to look at each other. Ademi took up the courage and told her everything that happened. She began to cry again and she was about telling him her own story too but couldn't because her parents were already calling her. All she said before she left was that she was already pregnant for another Person named Paul not knowing that Ademi knew him.
They couldn't finish the talk before Carolina left. Both of them managed to hug but it was a slight one. Ademi also left for home.
Catherine welcomed him with a divorce letter and in few days, he was back to his country. Bimbola received him into her house and they start a new life.
Carolina ended up marrying Paul before she gave birth to a baby boy- Carolina gave him Ademi.
Bimbola gave birth to a twin- two girls- he named then Carolina and Catherine.
The End
