I thought I had died,I still couldn't believe what was happening, my skin had few burnt scars all over it.I still couldn't comprehend my present situation.
then the old lady told me that she picked me up by the river bank naked in chains and I was steal breathing, but I needed food urgently so she took me home to take care of me and now am awake.Suddenly I had full control of myself, I could remember everything, my memory returned and I told the old woman my story, and she had compassion on me,I wanted to come out and report aunt Nelly and uncle Joseph since I survived but the old lady told me not to border cause my husband would report to them to the police,though I had to obey her but I still didn't understand what she meant by that.she took good care of me untill three days ago she gave me some money for my visa and a passport so I could go make arrangements at the airport and book a flight in other to go back to Nigeria, honestly I didn't want to, I just wanted to remain with the nice old lady, but she insisted that,I come back here cause according to her, the hour had come.and that's how I came back to Nigeria, I arrived yesterday,same look you had on your face, was the same look vikky and her family had on their faces.until I told them my story.that's when vikky's mum suggested that vikky brings me over as your nanny.so here I am, when can I start my job?"
Rachel kept wiping off tears from her eyes,she just couldn't control it.
"The lord is good, when the enemy shuts a door the Lord opens a window.the word of the lord cannot lie, the same way I saw it in my dream is the same way it happened.my daughter you are welcome."
He turned to look at dad, mum, kate and I.
"Am sure you know what to do, that is your daughter, flesh and blood, the lord preserved her life cause he has a mission for her here on earth, indeed he is mighty, all supreme and power, mr Eric bundle your broom sticks with one rope"
Rachel survived? Am pretty sure that was the lastest question on everyone's mind.but in all we give glory to God.it was a miracle, indeed God loved Rach so much.
Dad nodded, after which he stood up, walked towards his wife and held her hand.he did the same thing to kate.
"Let's go"
They all stood up with sober faces, and began to work towards the parlor like people who's heart were broken into pieces, the minute they got to the living room, the gates opened, and a car drove in.we weren't expecting anyone, atleast I knew I wasn't.unless it's one of the marriage planners, then it would be kate's guest.everyone got distracted a little bit but became focused after few minutes.
Dad, mum, and Kate had water in their eyes, they just didn't know where to start from, they were quite scared and too guilty but the pastor kept nodding as a sign for them to go on with their action.
Few seconds later, dad, mum and kate went down on their kneels but Jack who was in mum's arms kept smilling and laughing at Rachel, like he wanted Rachel to carry him.
Immediately Rachel walked towards mum and carried him
"Your so handsome, woaw he looks like me.his like my male version.how cute"
Then she sat down.
Suddenly, Jake and kate's fiancee walked through the door.
They both find mum, dad, and kate kneeling, then they spotted Rachel.Jake squated and hid his face behind dad. Detective Williams only took three steps backward.
"Rachel if this is your ghost.please am innocent please,please don't harm me"
Cried Jake.
"The same kim who was roasted alive ?"questioned detective Williams.
The pastor stood up from his sit.
"Gentle men please take a sit."
"Am fine were I am "muttered the detective.
"Andrew please what's going on,"cried Jake.
But I didn't respond.just realized I had no words in my mouth to utter.
"My daughter I know that I, your mother and sister have wronged you deeply but please were still your family,and we love you.please find a tiny space in your heart to forgive us.we may have treated you badly, we may have looked down on you, we may have condemned you but please my child, we brought you into this world, nurtured and groomed up please my lovely, obedient, brilliant, and beautiful daughter forgive me.I beg you in the name of"
Dad paused the moment Rachel dropped Jack on the sofa, and ran towards him, mum and kate him.she embraced them with tears in her eyes.
"Please stop, I forgive you all, I can't be so heatless,God spared my life for a purpose,if he did that for someone like me then who am I not to forgive you.Please get up from the ground, it's okay"
