CHAPTER TWELVE

Brian swung in his chair and contemplated the news he just heard from his mother. His father’s chest pains had developed into a mild heart attack and his mother had been inconsolable. His sisters had tried to calm her down but he had just hung up the phone on a very distraught lady. He felt like going back home now, his mother literally fell apart without male support and with his father ill he did not want her to have a nervous breakdown and give his father another heart attack.

There was so much news for him to process now; Pastor Green the pastor who was now in his circuit of churches in Canada had developed a terrible case of pneumonia and was making noises that he wanted to come back home.

“It is as cold as a witch's tits up here, Brian,” he had irreverently said, his breathing over the phone sounding like an old truck that needed tuning.

“I am just fifty,” he had wheezed down the phone, “and I feel like ninety now. The cold over here is going to kill me.” He had coughed after that a big wracking gurgling sound that had Brian thinking he was really dying.

“Its not too late to switch back,” Pastor Green had hacked out his voice petering out as he struggled for breath, “I already spoke to the conference heads and they agree.”

No doubt, Brian had thought, after they heard you speaking.

He had hung up from that conversation and his thoughts had immediately switched to Maribel, he had been praying about a relationship with her and had asked the Lord to give him a sign, but for the past two weeks she had been avoiding him. He was wondering if that was his sign—he was immensely attracted her. Her love for God, her smile, her walk, her sense of humour and how when he thought about her he ran out of superlatives.

Her birthday was next Sunday, which unfortunately for him coincided with his cousin’s wedding, a wedding that he was participating in as the best man. And it was in Negril. A place that he knew Maribel associated with some amount of trauma from her past.

He didn’t want to leave her behind either, but the invitation did say Brian Edwards and guest. He wanted her to be his guest. Whenever they went out together he had more fun and felt a lightness that was quite unique. He had this unshakeable feeling that she was ‘the one’ and when a man found ‘the one’ he did not wait around for long.

He considered all his alternatives, his father was ill and his mother was frantic, Pastor Green was ill and wanted to come back home. It seemed to him that all roads led to Canada. He had to run it by Maribel and see if she wanted to move to Canada. He would propose on her birthday. Have a simple wedding in church here and then a reception at his church in Canada; tie up all loose ends and then leave.
