KEVIN STORY: “Love and Forgiveness”

It was a beautiful morning, everything seemed to be at peace and the beautiful bliss was coming from the window of the room where me and my best men were getting ready for my big day….MY WEDDING! I was going to marry the love of my life….Isabelle(Bella), she was the beautiful girl I ever seen on this planet..Innocent, her smile made me forget all my past of unfaithful relationships I went through. I felt that I have found whom God created for me, the person I will spend the all of my life with.

When I saw her in her long white dress, it all felt like a dream, she was soo beautiful till I felt that I don’t deserve her, We said our vows in front of our family and friends in church, I could not be more proud of marrying her. After the wedding, We went straight to our honey moon, it was a place which was near to the beach..she was the one who chose our honey moon place. This girl had taken the whole of my heart, I could do anything to see her happy.

After the honeymoon, We came back to our home ready to start a family, I was soo exited to do this life with my wife. Shortly I started my job which was hectic sometimes but I was getting a good salary from that campany and I was sure I needed a good job especially for now that I have started a family. My wife didn’t have a permanent job but she could get some projects to work on and get some money from that.

Every morning, she used to wake up early and make breakfast for me so that I don’t go to work hungry….I was lucky I could see that! Even at work I could be thinking about her and how I couldn’t wait to go back home to be with her, Me and my wife had decided that we weren’t going to wait for sometimes to have babies, we all wanted to have them anytime soon that God would bless us. After some few months my wife got pregnant, I was soo happy, I used to care about her with everything..I didn’t want her to be stressed or getting tired cause It could affect the baby or even her, and since we were having a house boy, the chaos at home weren’t too much cause he could handle them well.

When she was 7 months pregnant, she started having some health issues, high pressure and some headache, the doctor said that due to that, the baby may die or born premature. The doctor requested that my wife should stay at the hospital till she would give birth because they wanted to care for her and the baby. The hospital became my home too, because I couldn’t sleep alone at home when my wife that I love soo much is in the hospital even though she was with her mom, but I couldn’t help it….

Two months later, it was the time to receive our baby…finally he was going to be there! When that baby was out they found that his hemoglobin level was low, they were supposed to give blood aid to him…obviously I was ready to give to my baby, they tested me and found that my blood group is O+ in time for my son it was A+…the doctor said that also my wife couldn’t give him cause she was group B+, from there my worry rose and I was confused. It can never happen that a couple can have a baby of different blood group from the mother and the father…that mean… maybe the baby isn’t mine…nooooo, I didn’t want to think of that, my wife didn’t know what was going on because she was still on the bed not able to move cause she had a C-section. I was soo lost in thought till I didn’t realised that my mother in-law was talking to me. MY WIFE WANTED TO TALK TO ME.

I went to her room and found her with the baby, they had helped the baby with some donation blood, thanks to the giver even though I didn’t know her/him, I found my wife sobbing and I approached her trying to find the reason behind the sob, she started: “Am sorry honey, I was tempted and I really didn’t wish to hurt you that’s why I didn’t tell you. Sometimes you used to come home late from work and I could stay with that houseboy waiting for you….one day we were watching a movie and there was some romance there, I can not really remember how I slept with him. I felt soo bad after cheating on you but prayed everyday that the baby I carried was yours…but see what happened now…..

She continued to sob and on my side didn’t know what to do at that time, I felt like killing that house boy but I stopped my self and went outside of the room immediately so that I think properly. I was on the way thinking about the whole story she told me…and I was asking myself, why did she tell me all the truth…why?? I had promised to love her for better and for worse, this was the worse I could feel for my wife. I went home reaching there I found the houseboy doing some domestic work and If I could talk to him I could do something terrible, I left and call him in then gave him some money and told him to leave immediately…..maybe he found out what was the issue because he didn’t ask me the reason why I chased him. After I went into my room and called my friend to advise me…..he begged me to give my wife the second chance, I couldn’t understand why he is supporting my wife but one thing he repeated was how my wife told me the truth, she could just keep quiet and deny everything.

I decided to forgive her, It was a very hard decision and it can even look stupid to others but I think in life everyone deserves a second chance…..I went back to hospital with a bouquet of flowers and she was very surprised to see me, I gave it to her and hugged her, I whispered to her that I forgave her, She sobbed again, It was a long journey of forgiving and forgetting but it was worthy it because after that time we lived happily….Yvan my son…I treated him as my own son, Forgiving is the best decision to take if the sinner is ready to learn from her/his mistake…..Now I have other two kids with my wife a boy and a girl, and we are a happy family!
