LOVE SO PASSION

CHAPTER 29.

 
Waking up to a bright light on her face Sofia manages to open up her eyes, she felt a presence beside her and she felt different as she looked around the room she recognizes that it was the smaller living room.

Looking down on her side her gaze fell on Elvis who looked so at peace in his sleep. Enjoying the view she kept looking at him as memories of last night came back to her afresh. She wasn't expecting a kiss from her husband but he did kiss her. She felt more comfortable, peaceful and receptive than she was the night Malvis had kissed her.

Her husband had kissed her last night, blushing at the thought she tries to get up and leave the living room before he wakes up she just knew within her that she wouldn't be able to look at his face once he woke up.

After a little effort she was able to wriggle herself out of his warm embrace, she adjusted the blanket over him and leaves quietly to her room.

Once in the confinement of her bedroom Sofia couldn't hold back her smiles. She isn't a huge fan of romantic novels,movies and such but she felt like a heroine from one.

Looking at her face in the bathroom mirror after she had showered she encouraged herself to be happy and that memories of Malvis may take time to go away and  that they will remain but she has to allow fresh new memories of Elvis to fill her heart.

Today was Sunday and they had to be in church by 11:00am prompt.

Due to the accident the doctor had advised that Elvis shouldn't drive for a time period so he wouldn't trigger certain emotions linked to the accident.  So she had about three hours to prepare before the driver arrives.

Thank God that he wasn't so critical that he would have needed a physiotherapist.

As Sofia prepared a quick breakfast she was so lost in her work at the sink that  she didn't know when Elvis had reached her, but she felt warm  hands snake around her waist.

Comfortably she leaned in when she recognized his perfume. She was getting so familiar with it that it pleased her senses each time she perceives them. But she wasn't expecting the words that came out of his mouth.

"I have forgiven you,my love",it sounded so real and genuine. Even a hardened heart will melt at such sincerity.

"I forgive you now and in the future. I am not perfect but I will always find it in my heart to forgive you and I pray that you always forgive me in return as I promise to you this beautiful morning that I will never do anything that will hurt you", Sofia felt her eyes water but she allowed them drop while closing her eyes to take in all she had just heard. Right there in front of the sink in the kitchen she received love and forgiveness.

Her husband and herself have reconciled after she almost lost him roughly wo months ago.

Not minding her silence Elvis felt her tears drop on his hands. He was also trying to keep his in because when he had woken up that morning much earlier and had seen her lying beside him he had cried.

Last night after he had kissed her they had both laid down talking intimately about life.

He was so ready to confess his love to her but his heart was more content with her presence close to him. She had told him all over again about her childhood,the friends and people she had met while he was away.

He didn't feel left out but he was so glad that she never mentioned Malvis in it all,not like she was avoiding his topic but more like she never had such chapter in her life.

Not so long she had slept and he could hear her sweet snores. They sounded more like melody in his ears.

Elvis overwhelmed with joy wept silently,he had stood up quickly so that he wouldn't wake her up she needed so much rest.

He had watched her work hard to watch him get back on his feet, he was so grateful to God  with that he had every more reason to pray now so once he was up he went into the other room within the living room to pray.

He thanked God for deliverance from the ghastly motor accident,he thanked God for patience and answers to the prayers he made long before they had married, before the entire revelation of who Don Malvis was.

Back to the kitchen Sofia turned to face him. She looked into his eyes and there he saw that emotion he has seen twice. Before he could say anything more she declared her heart without missing a beat.

"I love you too"..yes I love you Elvis. Not as a brother, nor as a friend neither as a boss...but as the love of my life",she said while smiling through her tears of joy.

Not minding the kitchen he leaned in to kiss her again when the electric kettle began to hiss.

So close were their lips that he could feel her anticipation. Her eyes were already shut and her ears deaf to the sound the kettle made grateful that the kitchen appliance was quite close he switched it off and kissed his darling wife.

Eventually after more romantic moments together they headed for church and Elvis was grateful that his parents had sent a driver to take them to church. He wasn't ready to drive after what he went through but on a good note he wanted to be so close to his wife.

As though God was joining them together afresh the topic of the service was in relation to marriage. The Pastor had taken so much time to address matters that ruined marriages subtly and eventually in devastating ways.

He had admonished both men and women to be obedient to God's word and maximize His sufficient available grace to deal with their spouses. His parents were paying rapt attention to every word so was Sofia who took down notes.

In no distant time service was over and well wishers who knew of the incident that occurred almost two months ago gathered around to speak with his parents as well as Sofia and himself.

The Pastor had requested to see the entire family and he proceeded to pray for them. The Damilolas' were leaving for London that week so they had gone to see Livinus and Martha before they left.

Elvis expressed his profound gratitude to the couple and gave Arlo a huge sum for his upkeep. His parents and his friend, Martha were full of gratitude.

The family talked at length and had  both a sumptuous lunch and dinner but the older couple left after lunch. Charlotte hasn't been feeling too well lately even before his accident but according to his father she was getting better. Although still complaining of aches and nasueous feelings.

After an amazing weekend, Sofia had to continue working at the office whist her husband continued from home. He still had headaches from time to time but he was alright said the doctor but that he needed much rest.

After series of meetings and the beginning of the countdown to the end of the year. Sofia took time to appreciate the staff for every effort they have put in to ensure a successful business year.

From their acceptable welcome to her as Secretary, secretary general and a stand in for their wonderful boss.

They also talked about a welcome party for their boss which will hold soon after he is ready to resume work.

Driving home Sofia felt dizzy. Yes she has been busy for weeks now but she had enough rest over the weekend and she was at peace in her marriage after Elvis and herself had reconciled but she shouldn't feel this way.

But glad that she wasn't driving she decided to sleep a little since the drive home was almost an hour.

After what felt like ages Sofia woke up but she felt strange because the room and environment didn't look familiar. As she tries to get familiar with her environment she hears the voice she never wanted to hear in her life any more, Don Malvis'.
