Ever Present Help

Roland's POV
"I told you I'd pay up my debts before the month ends but you keep threatening me...you knew what you were getting yourself into, I told you my terms and conditions...I know Randy but I lost a huge amount of money to some investors and I'm now trying to stand on my feet financially again...why don't you tell your cousin to lend you the money... please leave my cousin out of this... she's a doctor and I'm sure she's rich so why suffer when you can ask her? or would you rather I ask her for you?...no please, she doesn't know about this and I'd like to keep it that way, please give me a few more days...1 week and that's it...can you add another week?...1 week is all I can give you, otherwise my men and I would pay your little cousin a visit... I'll get you the money, just stay away from her...fine, do your part and I'll do mine"
What trouble have I gotten myself into, I just have to find a way of repaying the loan I took from Randy so that he can leave me alone. Maybe I'd find another job as soon as possible, but what job can get me $20,000 in 1 week. Vivian must not find out about this, I know she's worried about me but I'll have to keep making her believe everything's okay. I got home and found Vivian already home
"Hey Vivy, you're back already...yeah, I don't have work today so it's a partial holiday for me... that's good...were you able to take care of your stuff?...my stuff? what stuff?...you told me you had something to take care of so you'd go to the evangelism another day, when I asked if you would join me...oh yes yes, I took care of it...Roland... wow, what's with the full name today?...is everything okay? I mean are you alright, health wise, financially, emotionally?...yes I'm good...so why don't I believe you? You know you can talk to me right?...I know and I'm cool, everything's perfect...if you say so_I made dinner, would you like to have some?...yeah but just a little... okay, I'll get it for you...thank you, wait...yeah?...just keep me in your prayers okay?... I knew something's up, what is it?...don't bother your head over it, I'd take care of it...hmmm okay, let me dish your food... thank you"

Vivian's POV
While dishing the food, I remembered what I discussed with Greg concerning Roland and just as worry wanted to creep in, I let my mind wander to the Holy Spirit. After giving Roland his food, I excused myself and went to speak to the Holy Spirit, I didn't realize when I started crying but when I was done, I felt a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I called Greg immediately

"Hello Greg...are you busy right now?"

"Not really... what's up?"

"It's about Roland"

"Okay, what happened?"

"He came back few minutes ago and I asked again if he was okay, he said yes but later asked me to remember him in my prayers, then I knew my suspicions were right..."

"For him to ask you to pray for him means it's quite serious"

"Exactly what I thought but he still wants to keep it from me...I did as you instructed, I spoke to the Holy Spirit and it felt like a burden had been lifted, I felt lighter"

"That's it, just don't let it bother you okay?"

"Okay... please one more thing, I know you've done a lot for me but..."

"What is it?"

"Erhmm can you please pray with me concerning this, just till it's resolved, please"

"Of course, I would pray with you, we would pray a prayer of agreement and by the time we're done, everything will be alright"

"Thank you so much"

"Don't mention"

"Okay, I'd leave you to continue what you were doing..."

"Alright, bye"

I went to bed early because I had to go to work the following day. At work, I attended to some children who had been admitted and discharged them, I realized that my way of doctoring had changed, I could only attribute it to the fact that my outlook on life had changed because of the wisdom I've been receiving and it was a great addition to my profession. Mary was on a break so I had to attend to more work than usual which made me close late. The clinic's parking lot was at the basement and it was quiet by the time I was ready to go home, I almost thought I was there alone when I begun to hear sounds coming from the far end of the basement, I quickly entered my car, started it and drove as fast as I could, I was almost home when I noticed a motorcycle and another car following me so instead of rounding the curve to my house which I knew wouldn't be safe to do at that time considering the fact that it's a residential area and everyone would be inside, I also wasn't sure Roland was home, so I just continued driving ahead, and they still followed me, I went past my speed limit, immediately I realized what was happening, I tried calling Roland while driving but his numbers were not reachable, I didn't want to disturb Greg, since it was late, so I still kept calling Roland but to no avail. I just decided to call Greg and he also didn't pick up, I didn't know what to do at this point, fear was creeping in and I knew I had to get a hold of myself otherwise things could turn out worse, so I started speaking in the language of the spirit and I was emboldened. I drove really fast like I was in a car race and then I got to a traffic light, instead of waiting I sped off, used a rough narrow path till I got to a dead end, it looked like the people had stopped following me, then again I thought what if they lost me at the traffic light, so I got out of my car, took the key out of the ignition and locked it then I went to hide at the side of the building where my car was parked and tried the numbers again, this time Greg picked up

"Hello Viv"

"Greg, oh thank God you picked up, I need your help"

"Sorry I missed your call, I slept off"

"It's fine please, that's not important now..."

"but why are you talking in whispers?"

"Greg I'm being followed..."

"How?...where_where are you?"

"I don't really know but I'm about 30mins drive away from my house...they followed me from the hospital, I think they lost me but they could be looking for me, can you come get me, I'll explain everything later"

"Okay send me your location"

"right away"

I hunged up and sent the location but the network was bad, later I saw that he had seen it, he asked me to stay calm and just be praying till he gets there, then I heard the sound of a motorcycle...

What trouble has Roland gotten himself into, could it be the men he borrowed money from who came after Vivian?...let's find out in the next chapter, keep sharing, voting and commenting, the love is deep♥️♥️♥️
