Third Person's POV.

     It was just 04:08p.m. at the Zamanis' house, a famous wealthy family.

  Akinlolu Coker was seated on the main house's veranda, opposite him was the gate, to his left there were flowers and sunshade and close to the gate, the gate keeper's house stood erect. The compound landscape design was catchy to the eye, it was a place for tourism.

  Akinlolu is a devout Christian who worked as the Zamanis' only daughter's driver whose name is Adaramola Halimah Zamani.

(Nigerian Actor Wole Ojo as Akinlolu Michael Coker. I hope you like him.)

She bags a degree in Mass Communication from the University of Lagos, UNILAG. She is a young cloth designer with immense talent and she loves Fashion to the core.

So, when she had worked at her father's radio station, Sunshine FM as an event manager for a year and some months, she decided to pursue her dream and she went to study fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York.

  She came back a year ago and Akinlolu was appointed as her driver. She started her own Fashion Store with the label 'Zamani' and it is growing.

(Nigerian Actress Adesua Etomi as Adaramola Halimah Zamani. She is beautiful, right? Do not mind the picture background please.)

  As Akinlolu sat on the veranda, he was muttering in tongues as he surfed the internet on his TECNO android phone, a habit he had inculcated since he accepted Christ into his life two years ago.

He looked up from his phone as he saw his boss come out from the side entrance of the house holding her phone, a glass cup and a bottle of wine. A beautiful young lady she is, he thought as she moved to the sunshade and made herself comfortable and just then he heard,

  " Go preach the gospel to that lady."

  He looked around, no one was talking, Dongo, the gate keeper was dozing and even the lady in question was busy with her phone, then it occurred to him and he almost laughed out loud, sometimes God's message could sound hilarious. First, this lady who happens to be his boss is a Muslim. Second, her father is an Hausa man who believes in Islam and goes to Mecca every year. Third, this lady herself is not a visitor in Mecca so Akinlolu shook his head in disagreement. Some minutes later, he heard again,

  " Go preach the gospel to that lady." Akinlolu thought, how would he go and preach to her, the Holy Spirit sure knows she was born and bred in Islam, what would he say? And what if he loses his job?

  It's still a surprise that Alhaji Danjuma Zamani, the father of the lady in question employed him to be in the circle of his home despite the fact that he is a Christian but nevertheless he decided to go because he would rather be caught dead than not fulfilling his old man's last wishes which was, 'But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8KJV.'

  As he approached her, she looked up and Akinlolu suddenly felt a surge of boldness crop up within him and he said,
  " Good evening ma."

  " Mr Akin, good evening, what can I do for you?" She asked, dazzling her white teeth in a welcoming smile,

  " I just want to discuss something very crucial with you."

  " Have your seat and I am all ears, oh, let me get you a glass cup." She said and she went inside. She came out almost immediately with a glass cup and she joined him under the sunshade then she served him  and  motioned to him to talk.

  " I want to talk to you about someone special to me, his name is Jesus Christ." He paused and she deliberately took her time to set her glass of wine on the table and gestured for him to continue with no trace of her dazzling smile.

  And he did, they talked, argued and clarified. By the end of the next two hours, Akinlolu was able to answer some questions that has been gnawing at her mind about this particular issue that her coworker, Meraola had not been able to answer when she had also talked to her about this man with wonder filled works called Jesus. Then Akinlolu asked,

  " Can I pray with you?"

  " Okay."

  " Father, I thank you for this day, I thank you for Sister Adara, I thank you because you have counted her worthy of your grace to hear the gospel and you shall endow her with the understanding that surpasses human's thinking and also open her eyes to see that your Son is the way, the truth and the life. Thank you Lord for answered prayer in Jesus name I pray."

  " Amin." Adara replied and Akinlolu walked away smiling.

   Akinlolu was still sleeping around 05:35a.m the next day when his phone sprang up to life and started vibrating, he groggily lifted his head and checked the screen, the caller ID read 'Boss Lady' and he answered the call and heard Adara's voice telling him to come to the main house quickly. So he pulled on a shirt over the jean trouser he had on and bolted from the boy's quarter where he lives and he went to the main house.

  As he got there, he knocked and she opened the door almost immediately then headed for the kitchen and he followed her. She sat down on a stool and faced him as he asked,

  " Is there any problem ma?"

  " I had a dream, I think I saw an angel, he talked to me, he told me that Jesus is real, God is real, hell is also real, and that God wants me to be his daughter and I agreed, he said if I can stay with God till I die, HE is going to use me to help a lot of people and he said I should not move away from you that our Destiny are entwined and you will help me grow spiritually,

  " Do you know the amazing thing? The angel actually touched me, he touched my shoulder and my stomach and I fell to the ground, then before my eyes, he disappeared in flames of fire, that's supernatural, what do you think? I think you should pray for me."

  " Are you sure? "

  " Yes please." She said and she knelt down before him and closed her eyes and he did and he began to pray in tongues then he told her to confess Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and savior and she did.

     The next Sunday, Akinlolu took her to his church, The Triumphant Assembly, the church he was led to attend since two years ago. After service, he took her to meet his pastor who prayed for her and she received the Holy Ghost baptism and he later encouraged her to join a unit in church and she joined the sanctuary and decorations team.

  All these continued for the next four months and during this time, her parents had travelled abroad and they had no idea what was going on. Adara's two brothers, Teju and Lanre were also abroad while Teju was furthering his studies at Harvard University, Lanre was heading a foreign furniture making company.

   On the fifth month, Adara's father called her that he would be coming home in a week's time with his wife, Alhaja Wuraola Suliat Zamani.
