Undefined (a story)

 

 The Waiting Series -Drama

UNDEFINED

Ella envisioned both of them sitting side by side, holding hands and speechlessly staring at each other. This thought alone gave her satisfaction. The satisfaction she needed to get away from her constant depression. At least her desire to be with Chuks was satisfied in her illusion.

While others may call it an illusion, Ella would rather see it as daydreaming.

 

[Hundreds of miles away...]

Chuks' conviction was about to be proven. Every part of him was getting ready to receive the long-awaited answer.  He kept staring at his phone’s screen, waiting for the message to pop up.

Hadn’t she promised to respond today? Did she change her mind?

“Maybe something came up…” he muttered.

[His phone beeps]

It's a video clip from Damipe!

In the video, all she said was, "Yes, I'll marry you, Chuks."

He couldn't hold in the joy.

So great!

Nothing as beautiful as the moment a deep conviction is proven true. He just got a 'yes' from the woman of his dreams. C'mon!

***

Ella practically lived in a cabin named, 'Chuks Whatsapp Status'.

For the umpteenth time today, she checked his display picture (DP). In a way, this aided her illusion. She decided to check his status afterwards.

Usually, she was elated checking Chuks' status, but tonight was the reverse. Rubbing her eyes with both hands, she wondered if she was having a nightmare.

Ella's eyes almost popped out of the eye sockets. She couldn't believe her eyes.

"What?!”

 “No...”

“This can't be..." She kept checking the video to be sure she was seeing correctly.

[ Lights off ]

Illusions, dead.

How could love be this fast replaced with utter hate?

...

Fam, the bottom line is -Damipe is engaged to Chuks, and Ella is in total despair. Chuks and Ella have been friends for a while now, but not once did Chuks show intentions of being more than just a friend to Ella. However, on the other side of the coin, Ella already named all their children and pictured a perfect future with Chuks. She was hoping that someday he'd see beyond ordinary friendship, but apparently, that hope died the same moment Damipe said 'yes' to Chuks.

Encouragement

Dear Abba’s Daughter,

Don’t swim in the River of Undefined. It can be costly.

Remember, Abba’s son will gracefully pursue you and the Holy Spirit will make it clear to you without any form of confusion because He is the Spirit of Truth.

Trust that. Trust Jeremiah 29:11.

 

I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.

-       Jeremiah 29:11 (GNT)

Please, note that it’s okay to politely ask a guy what his intentions are when the whateverSHIP, (lol) seems undefined.

Most of all, delight yourself in the Lord. Seek Him intentionally. Serve Him. Like the woman at the well, only JESUS can quench the deepest thirst of your soul. Only Him.

Have you heard the gospel? Well, ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.’ (John 3:16)
