Heaven on Earth

Part 19

She was in the store room taking her working apparatus when someone came to stand behind her, she turned and saw who it was

"What are you doing here?...I came to see you...what for?...Angel...my name is Rose please...Rose, I know you must hate me by now and I understand but please hear me out. I don't know what I was thinking, please forgive me...I don't hate you Erasmus, I could never, but you really hurt me by your actions and words...I know and I'm really sorry...it's okay, I've forgiven you...really, thank you, thank you. So you'll come back home right?...I live with a friend now, you don't have to deal with my baggage anymore...Rose please come back, I won't misbehave again. Okay at least tell me where you live...I'm sorry Erasmus but that won't be possible. Thank you for letting me live with you for those few months...hmmm okay, whatever you say, just don't shut me out, please...okay, I have to get to work now, see you later...have a nice day".

Erasmus could hardly concentrate at work, he went to Kirk's office to enquire about Rose's new place

"Hi Erasmus, to what do I owe this visit?...where does Rose live now?... why don't you ask her...If she had told me, I wouldn't be here...then I have no right to tell you, if she didn't tell you, it means she doesn't want you to know, I'm sorry...I'm trying to be polite here...Look Erasmus, Rose doesn't need you anymore, I can't decide for her though but it's clear" he just stormed out of the office in anger.

Kirk spoke to the MD like he told Rose he would do and he asked for her credentials. She told him she would give it to him the following day. After work, they left together in his car

"How has your day been?...good, yours?...it was good too, you okay?...yeah...Rose...okaaayy_ Erasmus came to apologise and wanted me to come back to his house...oh I see and what did you say?...I forgave him but told him I couldn't go back to his house...you did? Wow, that's admirable...yeah I truly forgave him but I don't want to take the risk of going to his place again...coincidentally he came to my office to ask where you live now and I told him it was your decision to tell, not mine...well, I don't want him to know, thanks for not telling him...it's fine...so how do you feed? Do you always buy outside?...no I cook...you cook?...yeah, surprised?...a bit, I know some men cook but I didn't peg you as one...I must tell you, I'm a really good cook...mmmm...hahaha, oh yeah, you better believe it... maybe when I try your food...you certainly will, one day.

Months Later;

Rose was now teaching the new converts class in church. It was something she always looked forward to with joy anytime she went to church. Some months back, Pastor Dan called her into his office before service started and asked if she would like to take the class

"Good morning Pastor...Good morning Sis.Rose😊, how are you?...I'm blessed Pastor... that's great, we thank the almighty God. I have something to discuss with you...yes please...Bro.Kirk spoke to me about your active participation in church activities since you joined us and I'm quite impressed, I've been monitoring your progress from the reports I get...thank you Pastor...since you've already graduated from the new converts' class, I would like to ask you to take the class from now onwards if you're okay with that...yes Pastor, how could I say no, I would love that, thank you so much for the privilege...I knew you would take it, one of the teachers there is going to put to birth so you'll take her class, though they're more of adults, I'm sure you can handle them...yes Pastor, with the help of God...that's good, so you can go and prepare for service...thank you Sir"

So this particular sunday, she went in to teach as usual and the class was growing larger and larger with different faces since she took it; for her, that was massive progress by God's grace. She entered the hall being used and proceeded to address the class. They prayed in the spirit, worshipped and made declarations, after which she continued from where they left off the previous week. During the question and answer session, a gentleman raised his hand to ask a question. He looked quite familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen him before.

"Mad. Rose, please are you saying that whatever sins I committed in the past are all forgiven because I'm now born again?... yes Bro uhm...Richard...Bro.Richard, that's exactly what I said, it doesn't matter what you did. Jesus forgives even murder and all forms of sin so you should just accept his forgiveness and live like a brand new person...okay, thank you...you can call me Sis.Rose"

After the class she approached the guy called Richard and asked if they had met before but he said no he didn't think so. She still thought she had seen him before. She went for the main service and participated fully but after church she remembered him.

"Oh God, please this can't be happening, no no no...Rose are you okay...Kirk, I saw him, I saw him again today in my class...who did you see?"

Who could she have seen?...hello guys, I trust you're doing well by God's grace. I would like to know what you think about these recent parts I published. Keep sharing, voting and commenting. I love you🥳🥳🥳😘😘😘
