Tracy and Chigozie became so close and inseparable. They would call and text each other at all times,he was always the last person she talks to before going to bed.
There was no ministration Chigozie would go to without Tracy there. If she wasn’t there, then probably her work schedule must have been tight for her not to be available . Their partnership and relationship was what one would call “made from heaven”.
Chigozie won’t do anything without informing her first, his spiritual life began to dwindle. His prayer life reduced drastically because he’s either spending time with Tracy, they’re writing songs, recording songs, going for ministrations or calling each other on the phone. He felt the urge to propose to her but something would always hold him back. He thought about how she was good for his ministry and would make a good wife at that. He has made his decisions already, he took out his phone from his pocket to dial her number.
Tracy shook her head as she could hardly concentrate on the paper work her boss gave to her a week ago. She has a deadline to meet as the frown between her two brows increased.
Why hasn’t Chigozie called her since when he told her he had something to tell her. And apart from that, it was his everyday duty to call her first thing in the morning once she’s at work. They both had said it jokingly that it was as though they were dating or in a relationship because they behave so.
The day they kissed was the day she would never forget, she still feels the butterflies bubbling in her stomach.This was her first kiss. They had finished a studio session and prayed with the rest of the team. Chigozie had concluded to stay behind because he still had some unfinished business. He noticed Tracy wasn’t her usual self and told her to wait a while so he could talk to her. She told him of a contract they lost at her work place and how she was queried because she got late for the meeting due to rehearsal , she began to cry. Chigozie felt really sad for her, he didn’t know what came over him and they started kissing. Tracy felt happy because she got to kiss him and sad because it was a sin. Chigozie had an unrest in his mind, he knew they had crossed the line. He began to pray and ask for forgiveness. He sought for directions from the Lord.
“Your soul is more important son, focus on me”. That was what he heard the first time he prayed about Tracy.
He realised he hardly pray, read his Bible nor worship God anymore. He was so engrossed in his ministry, he thought that would make God happy. He was so happy with Tracy and his ministry that he got carried away. She was the right help mate he could ever ask for.
He had left his candle unshielded in the wind that the light has been blown off by it. He thought he was strong and could stand any temptation. Didn’t the bible even say “how are the mighty fallen”. Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he falls, he thought or knew he was standing, see how he has fallen yakata on the floor. God have mercy on him.
Her blindfolds was removed as she entered the room and was led by her friend Blessing. She saw beautiful scented candles arranged in a love shape on the neatly tiled floor. The red petals scattered on the floor added to the beauty she behold in the room.
She looked up at the wall and saw decorations of balloons on the wall. She sighed as she tried to read the inscription the balloons were used to write on the wall. She turned around to look at Blessing who was in the room with her only to see the handsome face of Chigozie with a knee on the floor and a ring in his hand smiling sheepishly at her.
“Will you marry me?” he asked. She was surprised, different rush of emotions ran through her. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry or be happy or sad. Nostalgic, oh that’s the word she thought. Her eyes became flooded, while her lips was slightly parted.
She suddenly became mute,so she nodded signifying a yes.She could not believe it,her dreams were coming true. Their hashtag name would be #TraChi# or #TraCie# for their wedding. She kept nodding and saying yes simultaneously till she heard a voice calling her name repeatedly. Did she faint? Why is the voice sounding so afar off.
‘Oh Jesus, I can’t believe it was all a dream’, Tracy lamented. She stood up from bed sluggishly and lamenting at the same time to the cause of her dream distractions.
She opened the door only to find Chigozie at the other end. He greeted her and said ‘we need to talk’ at the same time.She didn’t know what to feel,seeing the source of her dream in real life.
He walked in after her inside her self contained apartment. He sat on the only chair in the room and looked sharply at her,looked up at the ceiling then began to talk as she didn’t have the time to ask why he looked aloof.
Chigozie didn’t beat about the bush, he told her of what the Lord said and wanted them both to go their separate ways so they won’t do what will make God unhappy. Tracy began to cry as she begged him. She told him of the dream she had before he came and assured him it was the devil that was speaking to him.
He told her bluntly her dreams were from the devil too and that they’ve been following their lustful heart desires all these while. Their hearts wasn’t on christ any more but on their own selfish desire. Their souls were important to God. Their thoughts was filled with their own fleshy desires which didn’t bring growth to their spiritual life.
They’ve become too distracted by their callings that they neglected the place of God in it. Tracy continued to weep, as she begged Chigozie. He told her if the Lord wanted them to be man and wife he would bring them back together. He was ready to obey God even though he had feelings for her.
How many of us has a crush whom we think,fantasise about all the time. How many of us tell lies to the opposite sex that the Lord told us they’re our spouse when it is not so. How many of us go through sleepless night because our crush refuse to reply our chats on time. I hope we won’t be crushed though. I am not saying it is bad to have a crush or someone you admire. But let your heart solely be on christ so you won’t bring crisis into your life. Let obedience to God’s word be your priority.
Is it good to have a crush? When do you think the line of someone being a crush has been crossed?
