Married to a Thief – Episode Eight

Now that Egwu has found the source of the problem disturbing his wife, he is interested in knowing the solution.

Egwu sat in silence for a long time. His eyes were fixed on the prophet, but his mind was far away. He could not believe that all this was happening to him and his wife.

"But thank God I now know where the problem started from." He said.

After some time, he cleared his throat and spoke with an emotional voice.

“Man of God, please, tell us what can be done to save my wife. I do not want to see her disgraced again. I do not want to watch her steal again. I am ready to do anything it will take. Please, show us the solution to this problem.” Egwu said.

The prophet looked at Egwu and Ndidi. He spoke slowly.

“The only solution is confession. Your wife must go back to the family of the girl whose life she spoiled. She must confess everything with her own mouth. She must open her heart and admit that she was the one who stole the N50,000 naira school fees. She must say it openly to the girl’s parents. That is the first step. If she does not confess, the curse will remain. No fasting, no prayer, no sacrifice can replace confession. Confession is the key.” The prophet said.

He continued speaking. “After the confession, the stolen money must be returned. But not only the same N50,000. You must add interest. She stole the money many years ago. The money had value then, and the money has more value now. You must pay it back with interest so that the family will know that you are serious. That is the only way the curse will release her. After paying the family, there is another important step. Without this step, the confession will not be complete. That step is going to the girl’s grave.” He said.

Egwu and Ndidi listened with close attention as the prophet explained further.

“Yes, after you confess to the family, you must ask them to show you the grave of your classmate. You must go there with humility. You must kneel down before the grave. Ndidi must confess again, this time not to the parents but to the girl’s spirit. She must say it with her mouth, ‘I was the one who stole your school fees. I was the one who caused you pain. I was the one who cut your future short.’ She must say it and beg for forgiveness.” The prophet said.

The prophet’s voice became very serious.

“After the confession, another step will follow. Ndidi must place another N50,000 naira on the grave. That money is a symbol. It is a sign to the spirit of the girl that the money Ndidi stole has been returned. That is what will break the curse. Without that, the spirit will not let her go. She will keep on stealing. She will continue to disgrace herself. She will continue to disgrace her husband. But if this step is followed, the curse will be broken. And she will be free forever.” The man of God said.

Ndidi was trembling as she listened. Her tears were flowing like a river. She knelt down before the prophet.

“Man of God, I am ready to confess. I am ready to do everything you have said. I cannot continue like this. I am tired of disgracing myself and my husband. I am ready to go. I am ready to kneel before the grave. I am ready to pay the money back with interest. I am ready to do all. Please, man of God, pray for me. Please pray that I will find the family, because I do not know them. I have forgotten where they live. This thing happened many years ago.” Ndidi said.

Egwu nodded his head. He placed his hand on his wife’s shoulder. His heart was filled with pain but also with pity and compassion.

“Man of God, we will do exactly as you have said. If it means confessing, we will confess. If it means paying, we will pay. If it means kneeling at the grave, we will kneel. I cannot continue to see my wife disgraced like this. I cannot continue to see videos of her shame on the internet. We are ready to obey. Just point us in the right direction. Show us the way. We will follow.” Egwu said.

Ndidi lifted her head slowly. She looked at the prophet with red eyes.

“But man of God. I do not know where her house is. I do not know where her family lives at the moment. I cannot even remember her surname again. It was many years ago. I have forgotten so many things. How will I find her family? How will I know where to go? I am afraid I will not be able to trace them.” She bent her head again and began to cry. Her body shook as she wept bitterly.

The prophet stood up slowly. He walked around the room and placed his hand on Ndidi’s head.

“You must look for them. You must trace them. You must ask questions. Even if it takes you months, you must not stop searching until you find them. If you do not find them, you will continue to steal. If you do not find them, you will continue to disgrace yourself. This is the only solution. If you joke with it, you will pay a heavy price. But if you do it, you will be free. That is the only way out of this curse.” Said the prophet.
