The early sun was just coming up.
The trees swayed softly to the cool breeze. I walked on in the garden. I was happy but I was looking for something or someone. I didn’t stop.
I moved towards a small cottage.
And there he was sitting; he looked like he was waiting for someone too.
He saw me and smiled.
He stood up and stretched out his hands. They beckoned me to come. I ran ! Into his arms.
The hands of my Beloved..
“My sweetheart!” He said softly as I smiled.
A hand pulled me closer and my eyes stared open.
“So, it was a dream” I thought within me as I readjusted myself.
Someone was bending down in front of me. The person’s hands held me close. My eyes were not clear yet as I was not fully awake yet.
“But it can’t be Dabira. These hands are muscular.” I thought.
“Sweetheart!” I heard again. But I knew I wasn’t dreaming this time.
My heart responded to that voice. I recognised it.
“Dami!” That baritone voice that had always caused my knee to be weak called softly in my ear.
My eyes flew open.
There he was in front of me. He pulled me so close that he could feel his breath against me.
“Michael.” I called softly.
“Yes; Beautiful, it’s me.” he replied gently.
“Oh my!” As said as I looked at him very well. I had missed him. I had missed his voice. I had missed his arms. I had missed everything about him.
“Why did I leave this man? What was I looking for?” I asked within me.
“Oh, Michael!” I called again as I sat up. He stood up a bit and before I knew it I jumped into his arms.
“I’m sorry, Sweetheart. I’m sorry for leaving like that.” I said as I wept softly against his neck.
“Baby, it’s alright. I’m sorry too.” I shook my head in agreement as my eyes caught my Mum and Dabira at the slightly opened door.
Dabira winked at me.
“Thank you.” I mouthed as she nodded and closed the door gently to excuse us.
“Sweetheart”. Oh I had missed him calling me that.
“Yes.” I replied as he released me gently and made me sat down.
“Hmm; I had to surprise you this way this morning. I wanted us to attend Service here together with your Mum. So here I am.” I looked at his face, into his eyes. He was speaking with so much Love.
“I have really missed you, Dami. It was just like a part of me was tore away from me when you left. Please don’t ever do that again.” He said.
“No.. No, I won’t. I have missed you too.” I replied.
“So how are my two favorite people doing?” he asked causing me to be confused.
“Two?”
“Yeah. You and the Little prince or princess in your womb.”
“Oh!!” I said blushing. “We’re doing well. Though it might take sometime for he or she to get used to you.”
“And whose fault was that?” he asked tapping my nose playfully.
“Hmm. Never will we let the Devil drive a wedge between us again.” He said with a serious tune.
“Yeah; Never. I love you Michael. I love you so much.”
“I love you too. It’s like I just realized that.” He said moving close to plant a peck on my head.
“Oh yes I am never going to let the enemy take this man from me again.” I thought within myself.
The precious one in my womb gave a kick as if in agreement.
