ADELINE'S FAITH IN GOD ( PART 2 )

Adeline kept praying with the hopes that someone would come to her aid. She felt a touch on the shoulder and raised her head only to realise that it was Fred.
Adeline: How come you are here!, where are my friends?.....
Fred: They are in the car, some distance from here!.
Fred answered calmly and helped her to get up on her feet. He then offered her food and drinks.
Adeline: I'm sorry but I can't take it since I wouldn't be able to grant your offer.
Fred smiled shyly and touched her shoulders again.
Fred: You are a tough and honourable lady. He whispered to her.
Adeline: Those words won't work on me, tell me why you here and leave please.
Fred: I've  come to inform you that I'm in love with you!.
Adeline: hahaha! Funny you....Is that what you do to woo vulnerable women into your sleeves?...I can never fall in love with a man who sleeps with women before helping them.
Fred: I didn't sleep with your friends before giving them the food and drinks though I requested and to be frank with you I don't intend to do it. I only did it to test you guys. You have every right to be mad at me but kindly accept the food since I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
She accepted the food after Fred convinced her that he only said that to test their fidelity.
After eating, he asked her to join in the car and took them to their various homes.
Adeline was the last person to get home.
Fred: hope I am forgiven?...................
Adeline: Yes you are!  .....
she looked at him and smiled.
Fred: can I please get a hug to confirm that I'm forgiven?....
Adeline: No please.
He gave her his complimentary card and begged her to call him.
Two months later, Fred invited her over to his hometown.
When she got to the town, she learnt that Fred was not a man as she thought but a good and honourable Prince who has so much respect for people especially women and children. He had already arranged a royal party with his family to welcome her.
Adeline: I can't believe all these, I never thought of it......
He looked at her in the eyes and hugged her even before she could complete her statement. Two months later, they got married.
At the wedding reception, Fred took the mic and said.
"Adeline is a great & fearless woman who would never give up her pride even at the expense of her life, She helped me to know the importance of standing firm in faith as a Christian even in the midst of difficulty & inspired me to accept the Lord as my personal saviour".
He held her hands after his speech, drew her closer to him and kissed her forward to show his appreciation.
Lawrencia and Dorothy learnt a great lesson from their friend.They never thought that such a small incidence could be a test to their fidelity. They gave their lives to God.

Life will not always give us what we desire at the time we want but when we are able to stand the test of time, the rewards becomes bigger than the difficulty.
Take care and know that God loves you.
