Saved by Love - Episode 21
Epilogue
It's been four months since Akinola proposed to Adara and he just came back to Nigeria for two weeks to make preparations for his wedding with her.
One fateful Saturday, Akinola was lying on Adara's sofa,
“I need you to go somewhere with me.”
“Where?”
“Somewhere.”
“When?”
“Tuesday. I will pick you up.”
“All right.” Adara agreed without asking for more details.
Tuesday arrived and Adara hopped into Akinola's rental car.
“We are going to Lagos?”
“Yup.” Akinola said, staring straight ahead,
“What for?” Adara asked curiously,
“Wait and see.” Akinola said and she kept quiet. She did not understand why Akinola was behaving so mysterious but she decided to go along with it.
It was no longer a surprise when Akinola pulled up in front of the Zamani's Villa.
“What are we doing here? How did you even know this place? Why the hell did you bring me here?” Adara demanded angrily as Akinola parked the car outside her father's house.
He took her hand in his and said calmly, “Sweetheart, I talked to Akinlolu, I can't marry you without your parents' consent and you need to settle things with them before you marry me. Life is short!”
“They won't want me back.”
“You gotta try.”
“I am scared.”
“Baby, I am here for you.” Akinola reassured and kissed her lips lightly.
“Come on, let's go in, don't be a scaredy baby

. I got you, okay?” Akinola said and she nodded then they went to the gate. They knocked and their long-time gate man, Dongo, opened the gate,
“Kai! Aunty, you have heard about it too?”
“Alhaji slept and did not wake up.”
“What did you say? What the fuck did you say?” Adara asked and not waiting for reply, she ran into the house only to see her mother and brothers and some strangers, all teary-eyed.

. Akinola came in as she asked,
“What happened? What happened to my Daddy?”
“Halimah, he has left me. He has gone.”
“No!” Adara screamed as she ran to her father's room. Akinola went with her. As they got in, Adara sank to her knees in tears as she beheld her dead father and then Akinola said,
“Adara, get up! Let's pray.”
Adara turned to him, giving him the look to ask if he is crazy, “Pray about what?”
“We are going to pray and he is going to wake up.”
“Akinola, this is not the time for jokes okay?”
“Baby, death is an inevitable appointment. You can decide if you want to keep it or you want to postpone it. Now, we are going to postpone this man's appointment. Get up!”
Adara stood up shakily and took Akinola's hand in hers,
“Jesus promised us that we will do greater things than he did and we will do it right now, I believe in God, do you?”
“I believe in God. Let's pray.” Adara said, becoming confident.
And that was how the people in Alhaji's living room started hearing voices speaking strange tongues which prompted them to go knock on the door
The two of them drowned the voices of the people behind the door out and prayed, not knowing how long but stopped when Alhaji coughed back to life and registered his eyes on his daughter,
“Halimah?”
Adara was too overwhelmed to answer.
“Halimah.” Alhaji called again and Akinola nudged her to answer,
“Daddy.” Adara answered and the people at the door quietened.
“Where am I?”
“You died Dad. We prayed. I and my fiancé and God decided it was not time for you to go yet.”
“I want to know that God.”
“Praise God.”
“Hallelujah.” Adara shouted and that attracted the people behind the door to knock again. Akinola opened the door and they trooped in, disbelief coloring their face.
.......
Akinola and Adara, with God's help groomed the entire Zamani's family in the Christian way and of course, her parents blessings were totally given for their wedding which was the talk of the town for a long time.
The resurrection and conversion of Adara's father made the news and got her and her family even more popular.
