NNEKA'S DIARY VII

After a while, Priscilla left. Standing there, I heard myself talking softly.

"Angela, I don't know you and you don't know me. It's a pity you had to die the way you did. If given the opportunity, I will take good care of your husband and love your daughter like she was my own."

Immediately after those words, I felt a strong wind lift my hair and skirt. I held my skirt down and looked around. The breeze wasn't everywhere — it seemed to be only around me.
Goosebumps covered my body.
I let out a sound that made Priscilla rush back.

"What is wrong with you?" she asked, holding me. "You're shaking. I saw you talking to yourself. Why were you standing here staring at the graveside?"

She led me back to my room. I begged her not to leave because I was scared.

I stayed indoors until it was time to leave.

Back home, even my ever-curious sister Grace noticed something was wrong. I wasn't in the mood for stories or conversation. Feeling feverish, I asked her to boil water for me and prepare hot pepper soup.

That night, as I lay in bed, my mind returned to Kunle.
What was the meaning of what happened at the graveside, was it a message? And if it was, what was God trying to tell me?

For the first time, I admitted to myself that I was falling in love with Kunle.

I knelt down and prayed, asking God for wisdom and direction. I didn't want to make a mistake.

The next morning in church, during the prayer session, I found myself praying for Kunle and his daughter, Mary. It was only at the burial that I discovered Angela and Kunle had a daughter together — a four-year-old girl without a mother. It broke my heart.

The pastor's sermon that day was titled "God of Purpose."
He said that everything God allows has a purpose, and that instead of questioning God, we should seek understanding.
The message felt directed at me.

After service, I decided to seek counsel from Pastor's wife, Mrs. Chucks — a woman I deeply admire for the way she balances her faith, family, career, and ministry.

I planned to see her during the week.
