(After the prayers, a month later Mercy received a call)
Mercy: Hello Aunty.
Aunty: Mercy dear, how are you this morning?
Mercy: Awesome ma.
Aunty: Our God is faithful, He has answered our prayers. Lest I forget, How is Monso?
Mercy: He is good ma. What happened?
Aunty: I got a call in the middle of the night from your father.
Mercy: My own father?
Aunty: Do you know he actually traveled to US?
Mercy: United States?
Aunty: He apologized for his silence and disappearance over the years, he promised to come to Nigeria to see us. The death of your mother really affected him. He said he never knew she had a daughter for him.
Mercy: How come he never know?
Aunty: Your mother wanted to make it a surprise for him. I told you he traveled to Ghana three months after their wedding and your mum did not discover she was pregnant until he left.
Mercy: What kind of surprise was that? What if she does not have a faithful sister like you?
Aunty: This is not the time to condemn your mother who prayed to live but God took her. It is time to thank God. It was like a dream until I woke up this morning.
Mercy: What time did he call you?
Aunty: Around 3am
Mercy: Hmm! Holy Spirit you are great.
Aunty: He is. I guess you had a vigil or something?
Mercy: Aunty, God is faithful. I can't lose both parents like that. Since mum died, I've always told God to search out my father. I can't live as an orphan.
Aunty: God has finally answered your prayers. I will keep you posted on whatever news I received from him. Although I forwarded your phone number to him.
Mercy: OK ma.
Aunty: He wants to meet you in person. You are his only child. He said he has not remarried. He loves your mother so much.
Mercy: For real! So, why his silence all these years? Why didn't he come for the burial? He would have seen me.
Aunty: God makes all things beautiful in His time. Your dad couldn't explain himself very well on the phone. Anyway, we should expect him next week. See me tomorrow evening so that we can plan for his arrival.
Mercy: Thank God I've forgiven him long before now. I will come ma.
Aunty: Alright my dear. Congratulations.
Mercy: I return all the glory to God who has perfected my life.
Aunty: OK dear. Bye.
Mercy: Bye Aunty. I appreciate you so much. You are indeed a mother.
Aunty: God be praised.
To be continued next week by God's grace.
