Hey, my God! Thank you. This is December again. Management has declared the holiday to enable our staff to celebrate Christmas with their family members. A month of blessings and opportunities to explore other things. I and my beautiful, gorgeous wife will use this period to spend quality time together. Mr. Johnson declared.
Excitement.
As Mr. Johnson steps out of his vehicle at his compound. Evergreen melody was coming out of his mouth with an undeniable smile.
Hmmm. Have you won the lotto? What is it all about? I didn't see you in this mood for some time. Said Margaret.
Johnson cut in.
“Yes! Yes!! I just heard what I have been waiting for. This is an option for you and me to spend quality time together.” Can you see that many things are missing in this marriage? Since we got married, it is as if we are strangers to each other. “If you can see, I used to yell at you, and likewise, you also used to shout at the top of your voice.’ and I wondered what could have transpired. Why a sudden change in our union? This is not the woman I married. “Work! Work!! Has taken a lot of things out of our family, and we must fix them.” “Please, my dearest wife. (He was on his knee). Let us go to a cool and quiet place, and enjoy ourselves. Before these children came on board, we understood each other.”
Alright, I concurred. “Actually, I had the intention to call your attention to what is happening in our home. I just want us to trash it out as a couple.” Margaret suggested.
While on the road.
Mr. Johnson sat beside his wife Margaret in an exotic car. They looked at each other's faces and smiled. As if they were just married, and headed to the place they planned to spend their quiet time.
Suddenly, smoke covered the clouds and people were running across the road to the extent that vehicles were unable to move forward again at some point.
Mr. Johnson steps out of his car to know exactly what is going on. As he looked at the other side of the road. He spotted a woman rolling on the ground with uncontrollable crying uncontrollably. Hey, my child! Is it the end of our journey in life? Ah! Help me! Save my child.
Hey, God, have mercy on this woman. She has been longing to get fruit of the womb for the past ten years of her marriage. And she was able to conceive this only child. Saying by the crowd.
Mr Johnson was curious to know more about the woman, and he called the woman among the people flanked by the mother of the child.
“How did this fire outbreak happen? Have you notified the firefighter to rescue the child?” Johnson asked.
The woman was furious.
She looked at Johnson with an angry face. Blinking her unfriendly eyes. Hey, Mr. Man, who are you? Are you a police inspector? How can you ask me such amazing questions about this incident? I was not there by the time it happened. Anyway, I was told that they have invited firefighters to salvage the situation, but we have yet to see them. And the woman left his side.
Mr. Johnson was disturbed.
Ah! You mean a child is in this fire? He moved closer to the spot and he heard the voice of a baby crying inside.
Suddenly, he was screaming as if something was happening to him. And he requested a bowl of water, detergent, and a blanket. All the people at the scene just look at him as an unserious person.
I know that you will soon be disgraced. When you were asking stupid questions. You know how I was looking at you. What is the usefulness of a blanket here? You are not in your right sense. Said the woman.
As the woman lambasted Mr Johnson. Margaret's voice was audible in the midst of the multitude that said Get him whatever he requested. Please…
Within the twinkle of an eye. One woman brought a blanket, a bowl of water, and detergent. This is what you requested Sir.
Mr. Johnson collected all of the items from the woman. He poured detergent into the water and mixed it. Later, out of the mixed water, he poured part of it on his body and soaked the blanket inside the remaining portion of the mixed water. Then, he removed the soaked blanket and used it to wrap his body and entered the flames of fire.
However, as he entered the building to locate the baby. A firefighter drove in. And they were setting up their instruments to stop the fire. Mr Johnson came out with the baby that he wrapped in the same blanket. The crowd hailed him and the mother of the baby ran to Mr Johnson and hugged him.
Joyous moment.
Everyone was happy to see the baby alive.
“Thank you. God will not put you to shame in life. She hugged him again. This is the only reason I am still in my husband's house. If you see what I have passed through before I was able to give birth to this child. Ah! You gave me hope again.” Said the mother of the child.
Margaret moved closer to her husband. Everyone was staring at them. Margaret said “Yes! Yes!! You did it.” They embraced each other. Later, they entered their vehicle and continued with their journey.
As they were going, Margaret looked at her husband again. Yes, this is the man I married many years ago. Do you know what you just did? That was a crisis averted. You've just become a hero now. You are my hero, and I love you more. You restored hope for that woman.
Mr Johnson gazed at Margaret and smiled. “Thank you for believing in me. I love you always.”
