…Daddy did not give me money that day. He was so crossed with me, it was mummy that gave me transport fare and a stipend

Which I managed till January allowance was paid. Thank God for the foodstuff I took with me from home, I would have learnt a wonderful lesson from “Mr Hunger”. On getting back to Oyan, Bode was still around because there was no money for him to return to school. I told him what I went through because of him, and even then, I wasn’t sure if my dad would send me money again as usual, so I couldn’t give him money.

He felt sorry for me, and told me he would source for money elsewhere. I didn’t know how he did it, but he went back to school the following week. Soon there was a rumour among the choir members that something was going on between Bode and I. Before I knew it, it became viral among church members.

One Sunday morning, Pastor Mrs Williams sent somebody to tell me she would like to see me after service. I wasn’t myself

throughout the service. I kept thinking “what did I do?, why does she want to see me?….Anyway, I said to myself,  if it’s because of Bode, there’s nothing between us, and that is just what I will tell her….Period!.”

I didn’t hear anything in church that day, I was already devastated by the rumour going on, and this?….

Finally, the service was over. I found myself sitting next to Pastor Mrs Williams on a three seaters sofa inside the pastor’s office.

Good afternoon ma. How are you my dear?

I’m fine ma. “I know you would be wondering why I wanted to see you..said Mrs Williams”. “Yes ma”. I answered.

She continued….It’s about a rumour going on in the church. Can you please shed more light on the relationship between you and Bode?.

“Ma, Bode is like a younger brother to me, nothing more. Believe me ma. I only render assistance to him whenever he’s in need, and that has even stopped now.” I told her.

Anyway, I’ve denied it on your behalf, I only wanted to confirm from you, because the very first day I set my eyes on you, I knew you came from a christian home, and I have no doubt in my spirit that you are well trained ..but then, I want you to be very careful because there is power in tongues. Don’t give the devil any chance at all, and don’t trust yourself.. if you see or hear a child of God saying “I trust myself, I can never commit fornication”..then, you have heard or seen someone at the verge of falling. Remember 1 Cor 10 v.12. So, please be very careful and the Lord shall help you IJN.

I said “Thank you ma”, and left the office. As I was going home, I was telling myself “Now, I really need to be very careful…. though there was nothing between us really, but how could anybody think I could be dating a boy about the same age with Oyindamola ..our second to the last born?, not even the one next to me!..Well, I just need to be careful,help me Oh Lord!”.

So, what happened next?. Watch out!!!

….Episode 4….

Finally, it was 1st of April, my birthday. Bisi n some of d sisters of NCCF came to my house to help in d cooking. The birthday was fixed for 12pm, since we would be having choir practice by 5pm. We ate, drank n made merry, in fact, it was indeed a memorable occasion.

I really enjoyed myself. Pastor Mrs Williams gave a short exhortation. She titled d message Unique Grace, citing practical examples from her own life experiences. We were all blessed. Despite d short notice, i was so surprised to see that some people

still came with gifts. The most surprising one was the one sent to me from Bode’s mum.

When Bode gave me d gift, i asked him how she knew bcs i remembered i didnt tell her when i saw her in d market d previous day, he said he was the one that told her, and she said “no wonder she came to buy many ingredients yesterday!”. She then rushed inside her room and came out with a pack of 4 glass cups.

“Help me to wrap this and give it to her, tell her i wish her long life n prosperity”.

On hearing this, i automatically fell in love with the woman. I collected it from him with thanks and after the birthday, we went to church for the choir practise. We ended the practise around 7pm. Everybody left for their houses. Bode was discussing with one of d brothers when i left the church. I got to my room around 7.15pm, the sisters that stayed to clean d plates and utensils we used for d birthday did a thorough job, they tidied up everywhere, including my room, and set everything in place.

I laid on my bed, closed my eyes, thanking God for the day and everyone He used to make the day a lovely one, when i heard a knock on d door. “Who is that?”. I asked as i quickly came out of my thought. “It’s Bode o”. Of course, i could recognise his voice.

“Come in, the door is not locked” i answered. Before he could enter, i quickly got up and sat on the bed, i adjusted my dress and brushed my hair backwards with my right hand. I wondered why he came back, after all he’s been in my house since morning. When he entered, he sat down on a plastic chair in the room. He said his mum told him i came to buy ingredients from her the previous day, and that she loves my simplicity, and all those stuff. He said some other things, and upon all, i could get that he really didn’t have anything important to discuss with me, he only wanted to see my face again.

When the time was moving to few minutes before 9pm, i told him to be going,as its getting too late, more so, his mum had been calling. Finally,he got up n said “OK, Sis Sewa, good night”. He came over to where i was,n gave me a very tight n warm hug.

I could sense a feeling from dt hug,but i ignored it. Anyway,he left dt night.
