Tears of a helpless woman 34 (conclusion)

TEARS OF A HELPLESS
WOMAN 34 (Finale)
We stood outside greeting guests as they
congratulated us on our nuptials. Indeed people
were impressed with our beautiful love and romantic
wedding.
As we cheerfully spoke to everyone, my mind kept
dreading the thought of going to our room. If only I
could delay things.
We couldn't greet everyone but managed to greet a
few and finally got into our car. A beautiful room
was waiting for us at protea hotel.
As the car headed to the hotel, i suddenly went
quiet and Atusaye noticed I was nervous.
"Honey... Are you OK?" He whispered.
"Yes my love I'm fine... I can't believe we're
married" I said.
"You're nervous aren't you?". Atusaye said as he put
his hand on my shoulder.
I just smiled at him without a word.
The vehicle finally pulled over at protea hotel and it
was time to go to our room.
Goodness me, my tummy was boiling and my heart
was racing. Was I going to be clumsy? Would I
irritate him?.
Many thoughts rushed my mind.
We got into the elevator ready to go up and I could
notice Atusaye was already getting too comfortable
and it made me more nervous.
" baby I'm your husband.. " he said as he pulled me
closer to him.
I smiled nervously and waited patiently for the
elevator to open.
"You are so nervous" he said again.
I quietly lay my head on his chest until the elevator
opened.
We walked hand in hand to the hotel room and I
was blown away by what I saw. The petals on the
floor, chocolate, cake and some champagne.
The room was beautifully set and Atusaye had
actually got me a a few clothes.
"We're here" Atusaye said as if trying to remind me
of what had to happen.
"Honey I want to shower" I quickly said.
Atusaye giggled, he knew I was just trying to buy
time.
"OK so do I" he responded.
"Huh... Honey I said it first" I opposed him.
"Well we shall shower together... As a couple" he
emphasised.
"Oh dear Lord should I be regretting my decision to
stay a virgin, maybe things would not have been so
awkward" I thought.
"Honey I'm waiting for you to change so we go and
shower" Atusaye said.
My heart raced but after some convincing and some
sweet words I gave in.
**********************************************
It was the morning after the wedding and I had just
opened my eyes, still feeling very tired and finally
getting used to the idea of being married.
"Good morning" my husband said as he turned to
look at me.
"Morning" I shyly responded.
"Your innocence amuses me" he teased.
"Honey don't start..."
"What??? I'm just saying.. You look beautiful this
morning Bana mpundu (mother of twins)" he
teased.
"What?? No way" I opposed as I covered myself.
"Well will see about" he giggled.
"Do you already feel like throwing up?, loss of
appetite??" He teased..
"So soon?" I asked as I uncovered myself.
"Well then I should discredit myself.. I'm not a
man" he said.
We other other burst into laughter and continued
chatting and cuddling all through the day.
**********************************************
We had to go home and prepare for our honeymoon
which was in two day's time. We still had to pack
up a lot of things in the house too.
Luckily, Joy and Clara came in handy and they
helped with packing up all our items. Merging
everything we separately owned wasn't easy but we
had to meet half way on many things.
I was so tired on the morning of our flight, the past
two days had been hectic and I hardly rested. We
travelled first class to Dubai and we both actually
spent most of our flight sleeping.
What better way to put this .........
Our honeymoon was great, Atusaye and I made the
best of very moment and made sure we captured
every moment.
We visited many places and did quite some
shopping. It was just amazing.
Going back home to finally kick start our marriage
was something I looked forward to, I really wanted
to be domestic for my husband.
Each day I spent with the love of my life was filled
with so much joy and laughter, we stood by each
other and always prayed together I believe this kept
us stronger.
*********************
2 WEEKS AFTER HONEY
One Saturday morning Atusaye was in the living
room watching television while I was stuffing
beddings in the microwave. I had a cup of hot
chocolate on the side and I kept drinking it.
All of a sudden I felt dizzy and a strong urge to
throw up and I rushed to the bathroom, Atusaye
heard me and he rushed to the bathroom.
"Bans mpundu (mother of twins) are you OK?" He
asked me.
Atusaye always referred to me as a mother of twins
since our wedding day.
"I don't know honey guess I've had had too much of
the hot chocolate" I said
"I've noticed you've been drinking that stuff a lot,
since yesterday" he said.
"Have I? Ohhh.. It's always been my favourite brand"
I said as I gathered myself up again.
" too much of anything is bad honey.." Atusaye
warned.
I quickly prepared lunch but I felt really awful and
no appetite for the food. However, I wanted to lick
peanut butter.
After I finished setting the table, Atusaye asked me
to join him but he noticed I had a peanut butter
bottle in my hands with a spoon.
"Are you licking that stuff?"
"Yes homey I'm not hungry" I said reluctantly as I
folded my legs on the couch.
"That's it honey.. That confirms it" he said as he
stood up.
"Confirms what? What are you talking about?" I
asked in shock.
"You're pregnant he said excitedly as he came to lift
me.
" honey wait.
Are you sure... Its just fatigue" I opposed.
Hubby and I quickly rushed to the hospital to
confirm the suspicions and just like he guessed, the
pregnancy test was accurately positive.
The excitement on Atusaye's face and the dance he
did in that ward was ecstatic, the nurses were
amused at how excited he was and one of them
mentioned that she had never seen such excitement
before.
**********************************************
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
All along Atusaye had been sure we would have
twins but the scan results were shocking, we were
expecting triplets. I was so overwhelmed hearing
the news and it made me really excited to meet the
babies.
All through the wait, Atusaye had proven to be the
best husband a woman could ask for. He helped
with all the house chores and made sure I was well
rested. He attended to all my needs even when I
happened to be very impossible.
The morning of February 14th on Valentine's day,
my husband and I welcomed our three children. 2
handsome boys and one beautiful girl.
What long debate it was to finally get the names for
the children but we finally agreed on one thing. Our
first boy to be born was named King, the second
boy was Duke and our baby girl was named
Princess. The boys resembled so much and were a
clear copy of their father while Princess had a little
of our features combined, she was beautiful.
My uncle was finally released from jail and he was
so apologetic. Though it wasn't easy, I took it to
the Lord in prayer one step at time
**********************************************
Well I finally had my happily ever after, my home
had 3boys and two girls (mummy and Princess).
Every step of the way has been a blessing,
watching Atusaye teach our boys how to ride
bicycles and play soccer was so beautiful. Princess
and I played with dolls and cooked together.
All in all, we are one big happy family. I surely had
my fairytale and so can you. God is never late, he
is always on time and it doesn't matter what stage
you're at in life... Its never too late to surrender to
him because he alone is capable or turning your life
around. He turned my life around.
OH AMAZING GRACE.
