2011

Bella was looking out the window one evening. The same evening Gbadamosi arrived from Anambra after his youth service. "What are doing?" She could hear her friend ask. "I'm window shopping for guys" She replied watching a car drive in.

"In this compound? It's like you want to have HIV. This guys here are womanizers, its like they've cursed them."

Suddenly she noticed Gbadamosi get out the car, he opened the trunk to get his luggage out. "Abeg who is this hot guy? Is this one cursed too? "I no get strength to see anything abeg. All I know is that the probability of every guy in this building having aids is 85%"

"Come now! It might be my future husband like that"

The girl hissed, "Future husband kor, you're twenty years" "Age is but a number" "I thought that analogy is only used when you're dating an older person" She walked to the window to see Gbadamosi, "Okay...." "You know him? See as guy fine now"

"He's one of the occupant of one of the apartment."

"Duh."

"The guy doesn't really stay here much but he pays rent, he only stays when he visits Nigeria. I heard he stays in America or one of those Yankee place, maybe Canada or Australia or the UK" She shrugs unthoughtful.

"Shey I told you that I've seen my future husband?"

"Future husband ke? Babes, i'll advise you as someone older than you"

"Just five years"

"Yes. Five year with wisdom. This one is a womanizer oh, the number of girls that comes in and goes out ehn. Although he hasn't been around for a year now, landlord said he went for youth service"

"He's a womanizer but you asked of him"

"As the good neighbor that I am. The guy is friendly, super friendly and jovial, I laugh at his joke but doesn't mean I want to have sex with him. They are potential carriers of STD and AIDS"

"He might be faithful to the French letters"

"Well I don't want him to make me his post office"

"Oh I want to me his post office, let him dump the letters on me " She confessed turning only to find out he was already out of sight. "Of this guy is out of service, he'll start working ASAP, he might he even travel abroad, i don't know why all these yankees guys bother to serve in Nigeria. Babe... This thing is beeping future husband alert"

Her friend laughed, "You do realize you're 20 right?" "Kukuma copy and paste it on my head. Who cares? This guy is looking like one hot plate of food and I'm interested in eating" "I pray you don't end up having STD"

"I just want to have sex with this guy, I should just pop in this night? No, let me give him time, what do you think of tomorrow?"

"You're not thinking of.... I'm telling you that women goes in and out of his house"

"I want to come in and out too, I want to have a taste of the national cake. What has he been dishing and keeps making them come"

"Wow... I know you meant that in the dirtiest form"

"You bet i did. I want a piece too"

"Use a condom at least"

"Before nko?"

Bella who was clad in a bathrobe knocked on Gbadamosi's door. After waiting for about three minutes, he opened up clad in a white round neck top and shorts. "Good morning" She greeted, "Good morning, do I know you?"

"No. I just moved in" She lied then she cleared her throat, "Oh. Welcome"

"I hope the building is safe?"

"I haven't been around in a while but it's been safe for as long as I remember. Is there something you want cause I was busy before..."

"Oh yeah.. I need an iron, mine is faulty. I don't know how missed it and I need to head out later in the day"

"Okay... Wait let me go get it" He shut the door then made way into his room to get the iron. By the time he walked back into the sitting room, he was in shock to see the lady he had told to wait outside. She was standing right there with her robes already loosen.

She had a smug smile on her face.

Gbadamosi exhaled, There was a woman stark naked in his sitting room. He shut his eyes, how could he have missed it? How could he have ignored the signs?

"What's going on here?"

"I think that's self explanatory, don't you think?"

Gbadamosi began to ask why, he just got out from the family house. Why will such temptation befall him so soon? He didn't want to go back to his old life!

He hates that life!

Then he remembered Jesus got tempted shortly after his baptism. If Jesus can resist the temptation, I can too.

"Sorry to barge in, you didn't lock the door so I welcomed myself in. Do you like what you see?" She asked seductively. He dropped the iron somewhere on the center table then he walked up to her with a grin on her face.

Her heart raced in excitement as he moved close, "I take it you don't talk too much" "I'm a man of action" "You have no idea what that reply just did" She answered watching him hold his bathrobe belt. Her heart thumped in excitement wondering what first move he was going to make.

She couldn't help but smile in anticipation.

He went ahead to grab the second then quickly closed up her nudity. Seeing this, Bella blinked. "I don't understand, all these are for you" "Who?" "You" "See, I don't know what you must have heard about me but here's a newsflash dear, Gbadamosi George is a new creature. I have a new life in Christ Jesus and I'm not turning back for a naked body and some hours of pleasure but if you're interested in being clothed with in righteousness. I can guide you to the way, the truth and life"

"Why don't you shove your fucking clothe of righteousness in your fucking mouth. Because you've seen me naked you feel you have the right to preach to me. Fuck you"

"Why are you doing this, you look young"

"Excuse you?"

"Okay, you are excused. Now can you kindly take your leave, you can take the iron too"

She blinked again then she shook her head, "Fuck you real good" "Thank you very much. Please take your leave, you can take the iron with you. Although I'm sure it wasn't the iron that brought you here"

Bella walked towards the door angrily, "Don't you want the iron still?" He asked but she opened the door turning back at him, "Fuck you!" "Jesus loves you too!" He replied watching her bang the door then he laughed letting out a loud sigh of relief.

Now

"Oh my God, it's the men's toilet. Silly me" Bella said with a believable gasped while Gbadamosi rolled his eyes. "Great, you again" He said and she broke out into laughter at this point. "I wish you can see your face right now. Oh my God, I'm actually honored that you still remembers me. I feel honored" She shrieked in excitement.

"Let me just assume you walked into the men's convenience by mistake. There's a door there, can you mistakenly find your way out?" He requested as blunt as possible. At this point, he was trying to conceal his irritation.

Bella laughed, "No. I think I want to mistakenly stay here, come on don't be too serious, you're not on the pulpit"

"What's up?" Bamidele's voice resounded on the phone, apparently the call was still on! Why are am I hearing a lady's voice at the background? Was it a lady that mistakenly entered into the men's toilet? What's up?" He asked and Gbadamosi sniggers, "A snake just crawled into the toilet"

"Ah..I want you to run faster than Joseph did in Portiphar's house and don't give her the chance to grab your robe or bite you?"

"I won't" "Godspeed and goodbye" He chipped in ending the call and he laughed sliping his phone into his pocket.

Bella chuckles looking around the toilet, "A snake crawled in? Where's the snake?" "Really? I'm shocked you don't recognize your colleague, they walk stealthily walk into places they're ng welcomed into, looking for who to deceive, they walk into people's house without notice and they also walk into the men's toilet by mistake"

"Really? Are you going to be rude again?"

"When have I ever been rude?"

"Let me remind you in case you've forgotten"

"Can we get out of this place?"

"No. I like it here"

"In an organization toilet? Is that your style?" "Oh no, I have many styles I'll like to show you but definitely not in a toilet"

Gbadamosi scoffed walking towards the door and Bella blocked him, "Remember how I came into your Church and you instantly started to preach against me. You called me a sinner and asked me to repent"

"Because God asked me to"

"Oh please! That's how you men of God do, you judge and criticize everyone by looking at them then you come preach about how Jesus came for the sinner. Bullshit"

"I received that message even before I left home, ten souls were won that day in church so I'm sorry 'Miss I feel I was convicted', I wasn't just talking about you. Now, please leave the door so i can pass through"

"No!" She exhaled and he groaned.

"Leave the door"

"No. Are you going to push a lady? Let me see you try"

"Oh God"

"I didn't know you weren't talking to me that day. I was hurt"

"Is this the point where I apologize? Please I'm begging you in the name of God, leave the toilet or let me pass through."

"No"

"Are you on an Agenda to ruin my image? Is that what this is? Was that why you came here?"

Bella shook her head, "No. My being here is purely coincidental. I was invited but I'm glad to be here. I didn't I'll be this excited, if you asked me yesterday, I'll swear on my grandparents grave that I hate you but now... Let's just say I don't feel that way. Why don't you give me a chance to apologize for getting angry all these years. I'm talking about a lot of years"

"All the best for you and your anger. Please leave the door, I'm trying to be as patient and gentlemanly as possible. Do you know what this can do to my image as a Pastor?"

"Don't be too serious"

"Miss"

"It's Bella, that's the name and its my real name"

"Even if it's your fake name, ugh! I'm not interested, the only interest I have is fleeing"

"From me? Are you turned on? Are you attracted? I know I look hot"

"Jesus Christ, see... You didn't turn me on years ago and I'm not right now" "Maybe i just haven't found the switch yet" She placed her hands against his chest then he moved back.

"Will you stop this?"

"I want you"

"All the best. Meanwhile..." He removed the tracts from his pocket handing it to her, "Where would you like to be when the world ends?" "With you"

He exhaled pointing towards the door, "I don't want to push you aside, my father thought me well. Please, leave"

"Kiss me first, let me see your stuff and then we can negotiate"

Gbadamosi gritted his teeth walking backwards then he brushed his finger through his low cut.

A guy stepped out of the toilet, "Madam, what are you doing in the men's toilet?" He asked and she gasped, "Oh my God, look at me. I must have entered by mistake" "Please use the door and locate the right toilet now. Thank you"

Bella walked out and Gbadamosi shut his eyes knowing how bad it looked, he hopes the guy doesn't recognize him. "Pastor, good evening Sir" "Good evening" He nods in shame.

"It's not what it looks like"

"I heard your conversation. I had to come out fast and help you oh. As she didn't want to leave now"

"Thank you."

"She's one of those people that wants to go around and tempt Pastors but mehn... You try oh, see that Kain hot babe"

"Who?"

The man laughed, "I guess as a Pastor, you're setting your mind on things above Sir" "You know the goal" Gbadamosi replied and he chuckled even more. "Wel done Sir, many wouldn't have passed that temptation but you did. My respect for you just increased, you didn't even want to push her because your parents trained you well"

"Thank you for stepping in"

"Any day Sir" He replied. Gbadamosi nods and steps out of the toilet.

Hilary rummaged through his son's clothes, "When last did grandma wash your clothes? They smell funny and..." She lifted one with a glaring palm oil stain on then she grimaced.

The moment they got to the Hotel, she took her bath and then gave him a chance to bath himself. She could hear the shower still running in the bathroom, it has been running for twenty minutes. "Baby, turn off the water now. Are you a fish?" She asked then she laughed at his excitement to finally use a bathroom shower for the first time in his life.

The last time she peeped, he was dancing under the pouring water.

"Ossy, I don't want you to catch cold oh" She chipped in but he didn't hear her. She returned her gaze to the disaster in her hands and all the clothes on the bed then she rolled her eyes..

"God knows that I'll change all your clothes. God bless you Kilahi for asking me to get my boy new clothes. What would he have put on to church on Sunday?"

She sat down picking up her phone from the bed then she turned on her data. Messages and application notification popped up so she checked her WhatsApp messages. There were about six messages from Manny so she clicked on it.

Hey dear? How is it going? Have you taken Ossy out of the house? Did she allow you or did she give you tough time?

What's going on? You're too quiet

Grey hairs are already growing on my hair

I hope by the time you respond, you'll be showing me more respect😂

Let me know if you're fine, I'm trying to have a good time at Sam's exhibition. I miss you💔, no one to cheer me up and you're not even online too😭😭.

Madam what are you doing?

Have you seen an Ebonyi man there? Is that it?

How's that little man doing? Did you successful take him away or did your late husband's mother prove difficult. Gosh, I'm in suspense. Do and answer my question or else, I'll be flooding this your DM with messages and memes 😂

Hilary laughed through the messages then she started replying to each one.

Hello Grandpa, I'm sorry you had to grow Grey hairs waiting for my reply. Did you also lose weight?

Manny replied almost immediately.

She finally answers🙄 I was beginning to think I'll write a formal letter to you before you have a look at my messages. Your royal highness

😂🤣

Did you call me Grandpa?

What nau? You wanted me to show you some respect now

Yes. I grew grey hair

Oga, you're inexcusably bald, you can't grow hair

😂🤣 Ouch...
That's because I waited till I lost all my greys

Pele, I hope you're not angry

I'll like to hear you say that in that your crooked Yoruba

If I was close to you, you know I would have pinched you

😂😂😂
I miss you💔💔💔💔

Awn💔💔

You didn't say you miss me too

Hilary rolled her eyes smiling then she exhaled giving it a thought. WTH? She missed him alright!

Well I didn't miss you😛😜

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I'm having a heart attack. Only three words can heal me right now. Say the magic word

Getat!

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I miss you too. Happy?

Joyful and contented.

I got Ossy, he's here with me

I was about to ask. Did she make it easy?

She didn't have a choice. It was disheartening and emotional when Ossy was saying good bye to the children. I cried, everyone cried.

Ehya. At least now you have your son with you

Yay!!! I'm so excited. That was what I was busy with, not with some Ebonyi man!

I deleted that message

I saw it

GB WhatsApp users will not let us have our own privacy. So I can't make any mistake in peace😂 Well, I thought it sounded pejorative and displeasing to the ears

I wasn't offended. Ossy's bathing

Are you not bathing him?

I didnt want to weird him out. He's playing in the shower. It's his first time using a shower

And you left him to bath alone? What if he slips?

He won't

How are you sure? The floor can be really slippery even for us adults

I was picking out what he'll wear for the night. He doesn't have a pyjamas

Manny drops a voicenote- We'll get him one, for now, go and watch him. If I'm the reason you don't want to go, please do. I'll still be online waiting for you, my battery is not going off any minute. I still have like fifteen percent.

Oh please! Don't flatter yourself, he'll be fine. I don't want to weird him out

He's just seven years Hilary 😂🤣 and he's your son.

I know, he's so mature

Go! If that boy falls, I won't be happy with you. Go and watch him!

Ugh!🙄
I've heard. TTYL

She replied turning back to see son shivering in the room naked but the bathroom tap was still on. His teeth were chattering, he clenches and unclenches them.

"I couldn't turn off the shower"

"Jesus you're cold" She complained grabbing a towel. "Shey I told you not to stay for long" "It's a gu..gu..good kind of shivering"

She laughed shaking her head, "Which one is good kind of shivering again? You this boy, you won't catch cold on my watch" Then she quickly wraps a towel around his body. "Be... Because I'm happy. The cold is making me stammer"

"I'll turn off the AC after turning off the shower"

Manny slipped his phone in his pocket. "When you see such smile, you just know there's a woman involved" Mrs George said from behind then he turned bowing his head at him. "Good evening Ma"

"Iwo naa good evening. Since we're doing first to greet, I said I should come and greet you first"

Manny rolled his eyes and laughed, "Are you really pulling that African mother card on me?" "Yes why won't i? Didn't you see me all these years?" She asked and they both laughed. "Good evening Mummy" "Good evening love" She replied stretching her hands and Manny leaned in for an embrace.

"If its not my favorite nephew"

"Actually, I'm your only nephew"

Mrs George faked a smile, "Did you just fake a smile?" "Do I have a fake smile" "That's Mom's fake smile and the last time I checked, you're both identical twins" "Your mom's smile is always fake, I've always been the one with the better smile"

Manny laughed, "You don't say?" "I say it with all manner of confidence, you can go and ask Teni" "I'm not going to sandwich myself into that Palava"

The thunder rumble, "Is that rain?" The both asked, "It better not be" Mrs George answered sharply. "So... How are you doing?" "I'm fine" "Bawo ni se? Sorry I don't usually tune in every time"

"It's fine. Work is also fine, at least you tune in once in a while, not like some people I know" "Some people or your mom" "How are you Ma?" He asked in order to avoid any topic with his mother as the subject matter.

"Nice try"

"I don't want to talk about that woman"

Mrs George gasped, "That woman is my sister and your mother" "Exactly why I don't want to talk about it. Let's just drop it" "Does Gbadamosi also call me that woman?" "Mummy..."

"Sometimes I wonder what we ate before giving birth to all of you! You all have the same character." "The both of you have failed to understand us. You're even better than mom, you understand us better than her, you practically raise me"

"Sweetheart, don't be hard on your mother. She's going through a whole lot" "What is she going through that someone has not gone through before? Why is she always so bitter towards her children, no excuse is enough. She has failed already and there's no coming back from it. I'm glad she didnt even come"

"You don't mean that. I'm sure you don't, you love your mother"

"Do I? Cause I don't know anymore." He blinked his tears in. "Please let's change the topic" ""Se o ngburo aburo re?"

"Yes. I spoke to her. Her honeymoon will be coming to an end on Sunday." "Her honeymoon will not come to an end in Jesus Name. Everyday will be like a honey moon for her" "Amen. I've missed her actually, I'll miss my Amala and gbegiri plug"

"Exactly what i wanted to talk about" She exhaled scanning him from his head to toe, "Maniola, O ti ru oh, (Youre pale), you've emaciated big time. When last did you eat good food?"

"What? I eat good food all the time"

"When last did you eat a home cooked meal?" "Is that the criteria for not emaciating?" "Don't sass me or i'll just hit your bald head" "Oh wow, you just had to rub it in"

Mr George laughed, "Because you were sassing me" "I buy food from the restaurant close to the studio" "I'm talking about home cooked meal" "All can be categorized as food, abi is there any class of food called home cooked meal"

"There isn't but I move a motion for it to be added cause there's something a proper home cooked meal does to a man. Haven't you seen your Uncle? How healthy he looks"

Manny laughed, "When last did you cook your own food by yourself" "You're sassing me" "No now, Mummy, be sincere. When last?" "That doesn't matter, I'm going to sixty and I need rest. Who was doing it all those years? Didn't you eat my food?"

"You've always had the best egusi soup"

"I still have the best egusi soup"

"That's if you can still find your way around the cooking gas" He teased moving back and she laughed, "Just move back cause if I grabbed you, you will not believe your eyes" "I'm thirty five years old"

"And I will disgrace this 35 years old man, in front of all these beautiful women. Try me, it's as if you've forgotten me"

Manny smiles and lets out a deep sigh, "No I haven't" "This is exactly the reason why you need to find a woman" "Because I'm thirty five" "Yes and because you need to return back home to a meal" "You're presenting women to be slaves"

"Every African woman, all women generally, has the ability to take on that responsibilty of being a slave in their own home. Take it or leave it, do you think it's easy raising three boys, the number of fights I had to separate when they were growing up. If its not Gbadamosi and Feyi, it's Feyi and Ere. What about when you and Temi came? I still took everything upon myself, it's by God's strength that i didn't break down."

"Thanks"

"For what being a mother? Find another thing to thank me for, not that. You know I love you two as though I gave birth to you" "Thank you Ma"

"That's why you need to get married"

"I knew the discussion was going to get there. I was just waiting to hear that marriage part. It's always marriage with the two of you" "Who's the woman that was making you smile earlier on?" Manny arced his brow, "Jesus... How do you know it's a woman? It might be a guy'

"Oh please! Tell me something I don't know. I'm a woman and I know the effects we have on men. Your Uncle is swoon till today"

Manny blushed, "God when oh" "Don't even try to maneuver your way out of this discussion, you're stuck. Answer my question. Who is she?" "So you can run tell Mom'

Mmes George gasped touching her chest in hurt, "Ouch! What do you guys see me as? A snitch or a cheap gossip" "My mother's sister"

She rolled her eyes, "I won't tell, you know can tell me anything. I cross my heart and I don't hope to die without seeing all my grandchildren grow" She moved closer, "I won't tell her, is there someone?"

"Yes"

"I knew it! Why don't you bring her home?" "I haven't even asked her out" "Why? I didn't raise a chicken" "I'm not chickened. You know how your sister can be!"

"If you want to know... We spoke today, don't tell her I told you oh. She said you can bring anyone that she'll accept her, as long as you get married and give her grandchildren"

Manny arced her brow, "Wait, she said that?" "Yes she did. Ask her out, if she says Yes, bring her home to the family. I'm sure she must be better than Gbadamosi's choice" "Mummy! See, Kilahi's my friend too, she's a good woman and I won't appreciate you bad mouthing her"

"You too?"

Gbadamosi sights Kilahi staring at a drawing on the wall. "Do you like that one?" He asked and she turned towards him with a small smile.

"Where were you?"

"In the toilet"

"What were you doing since?" "It's.." "It was a hard one" She interrupted and he laughed, "Yes. I had to squeeze my face and muscles to get it out" He answered and she laughed moving backwards.

"You're shameless oh"

"Ah yes, shebi you're the one that wanted to engage in that conversation" "Because I wanted to weird you out, toh you've ended up doing it to me. Whatever you do, don't touch my hand"

Gbadamosi laughed, "It's even your face I want to touch sef" He lifted up his hands to her face so she shrieked in irritation while moving backwards, "Seriously?" He askes letting out a hiss, "Look at how you ran like you heard i have chicken pox. I was just kidding though, I didn't use the toilet because of that" "I'll need proof"

"Geez!" He slapped his face, "I forgot the certificate in the toilet, let me just go back to get it"

Kilahi laughed cupping her palm over her lips then she moved closer. Gbadamosi held her by the hand, "Hey beautiful" "Hey... is everything okay?" "There's something I must tell you." "About what? Oh my God, are you a twin too? Is that it?" She asked but he bursted into a choking laughter instead.

"What?"

"I realize there might be a whole lot that I don't know about you. I know this relationship is fresh" "Doesn't feel fresh"

"I know right? but I still need to know things"

"After the evangelism tomorrow, what if we meet up at Ivory Health club? If you're not familiar with the place, I can't send an address. Remember I said you don't necessary have to come for it except you want to but Sefa, it's compulsory. There are things she must learn for the next level, ideas that will click. God is ready to use her if she's willing to submit herself"

Kilahi smiled, "Why does that sound scary?" "She has the grace of an Evangelist on her, don't tell her or it'll scare her" "Wow" "I see her and I smile because it's a prove that a generation is rising, God's armies are rising and there's no stopping us. Gates of hell can rise up but we'll dismantle them, it's hope for the future"

"Amen. That's a good news"

"Exactly. Evangelism is one of God's tool of my sweetest thing to do," "Evangelism gets tiring when people you preach to are adamant" "Kai, you can't force people to accept, you do your best to expose the person to the word and then leave it to the Holy Spirit to do it's work. You can't change a man. I've been trying to change Muyiwa for years, till the point I gave him space, I'll ignore him at any event I see. Until this year when he showed up with Manny, God brought him back to my doorstep. I don't know why but I believe there's a reason, I'm not going to force it all on him, gradually I'll try to crack through him. Muyiwa of that time was the most craziest person I've ever met but you see the Muyiwa I see today, I won't be talking to him if I didn't see the possibility of him changing his ways. I don't know how God is going to do it but I know he will. No matter how difficult a person is, God can still break through him or her"

Kilahi nods.

"You're quiet"

"I'm letting it all sink in"

Gbadamosi chuckles, "What i wanted to tell Is that. Every woman I knew in the past are here, even the recent ones" "Toh, i know now; Julie and I guess the Monica that woman was talking about and Tatiana." "Yes." "Shey you said, our relationship was your first" "Yes it was. I wasn't lying, the others, they knew I had other people I was seeing, can you call that a relationship? For real, you're dating someone but the person knows you're sleeping with another person. I didnt label them by girlfriend, they did. So... Officially, you're the first one I'm putting the label one, my girlfriend and my future Mama"

"Have you finally talked to all of them?" "I've not. I don't want to." He replied scratching his hair, his face was plastered with worry then he asked, "Are you bothered?" "Truthfully, I was a bit intimidated cause I noticed the Julie and Tatiana had this figure eight shape and that woman was talking about your type being the voluptuous type"

Gbadamosi smiled, "You're my forever type of girl. They.. they don't stand close." "See! That was my consolation, even if they have more curves than me, or hour glass shape, the beholder chose my own beauty so... Who cares?"

He smiled deeply, basking with pride. "God I love the fact you're so cocky and confident right now. It makes me so proud of you, I don vex, let's go to the altar, I just want to marry you right now"

Kilahi laughed, "Awn." "So.. There's this other girl that approached me several weeks ago while I was taking a run with the guys. She tried flirting with me but I gave her a cold shower and the tracts instead"

"Oh. She's here too?"

"Yes. She's the one who's was wearing that.... suit like dress"

"Oh. No wonder you had that look when she walked in"

"Yes and I just got blocked in the toilet by another person"

Kilahi blinked, "Who again?" "I didn't know her name until today" He sighted someone taking a picture of Bella close to a painting. " Look at your side, at 9 o clock, the woman taking the picture" He requested and she slowly did then she gazed back at him.

"There are two people taking pictures, one on emerald green, the other on turquoise"

"The one with the green"

"Oh. She came into toilet? Why?"

"What other reasons?"

"Who is she? Another ex?"

"She's not an ex, just someone from the past. Remember the story I told about the girl who wanted to seduce me"

"The one that came to borrow iron"

"Exactly."

"Why now? Why today?"

"She said her being here is purely a coincidence"

"Dan boro uba.. Being in the men's toilet is a coincidence"

"No. Being here today. What does Dan boru ba means?"

Kilahi exhales, "It's an exclamation" She scoffed.

"Funny thing she came to the church 2019 or ... I can't remember when but she left during the sermon. She said she thought I was preaching about her. I begged her to leave but she didn't want to, not until a guy stepped in"

"Maybe she came into the toilet to borrow toilet paper like she came in the last time to borrow a pressing iron"

Gbadamosi laughed, "Who knows for her?" "Looks to me like she has misplaced priority, how can you go into a stranger's house and suddenly get naked and now she's entering into the toilet with you. If you ask me, I'll say you're were her target"

He groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Ehya, sorry. This definitely drama night for you"

A rough laughter escaped his lips, "I just hope this drama doesn't end with you breaking up with me" "Why will i do that?" "I've put you through enough awkward situation today" "As exhilarating as it is, tonight has been an eye opener because I'm seeing a whole new side of you; not as a Pastor but as someone every woman wants. Toor, i guess i have to get used to that because I'm courting a fine man"

"I'm sorry. Temi told me your fears about dating handsome men, something about you having an heart attack"

Kilahi laughed, "It's true oh. I said that to her that time. How time flies" "The other one. Katherine, or Kitty Kat or whatever, she said she won't stop until I give in. I'm not scared of falling for her seduction, I'm just scared of taking extreme measures. Then they'll say, he calls himself a Pastor, look at what he said to that girl, then she'll start playing the victim"

"Do all Pastors go through this?"

"Yes they do, especially the ones that had their own ugly past. The devil will always fight to quench the light of God in you so he sends in temptation but what is my profit if I gain the whole world and lose my soul?"

Kilahi exhales, she knew she had to intensify her prayers for him. "Your mom seems to be closer to Manny than you. I saw them talking" "Manny isn't close to his mother, he feels that mom is better than Aunty Teni" "Do you?"

"I'm not close to her, I was when she was living in London but at some point, she flipped, became different, too reserved. Manny calls my Mom, Mommy, I call his mother Aunty Teni that should tell you a lot."

"She wasn't so nice too the day I met her, at first she was angry when Risi and i barged into the room. Then I mistakenly told Aunty Toyin that I invited my cousin to keep me company. She flipped, she said she didn't know who else Sewuese would invite" Kilahi laughed remembering that day.

"I just brushed it off, I assumed she was one of those people who doesn't like unfamiliar crowds in their party. Every family has one" She shrugged, "She doesn't even like her own family crowding around her l, much less strangers. That's why she's not here."

"She must have trust issues"

"Yes. Sometimes I ask God to give me insights to what she must have experienced at some point" "Maybe during one of her party in the past, a stranger made away with her meat cooler" She guessed forcing a laughter from him.

"Seriously?"

"It's always something with these people. One bad party experience that my aunt Pamela had once, she started locking guest food in a room. One time she lost her keys in between the whole gyration, we had to spoil the lock to gain access. The guest didn't eat till past four, the food was already cold by that time"

He laughed shaking his head, "Your family is a special one oh" "You have no idea"

Hilary and Ossy laid in bed facing each other, "From Monday I'll start school hunting for you. I need to enroll you into a good school" "I hope the uniform will be better than our school uniform that usually make us look like prisoners?"

"It will be better"

"Won't you go to work on Monday?" "No."

"Why?"

"Because.... I haven't applied for jobs yet"

"You don't have a job? But you always say that"

Hilary cuts in immediately, "I had a job but I was fired" "Why?" "Because ..." She trailed off in thought, she wouldn't want him to feel she lost her job because of him.

" It's nothing"

"How am I supposed to know you if you're hiding things from me." "I don't want you to think it's your fault" "What happened?" "I got fired because I asked for a week off so I can attend to you. I didn't even know I'll be leaving this week, I asked for a leave in advance but my boss didn't agree"

"Why?"

"She said I've been having too much week. She sounded let people go on holidays like that. She has been agreeing because of the work I do there. She didn't agree this time, so she asked me to choose between you and my job. You know what I chose baby?" She asked running her palm on his cheeks.

"Me"

"Exactly and i don't regret it"

"Don't worry, a better will come and she will regret sending you away" "Amen. Technically, she didn't send me away" "Still, a person that will ask someone to choose between work and his child is not a good person"

"Don't bad mouth Madam Tatiana. She has tried in her way. In life you don't expect everyone to think like you or or have the same soft heart that you have. She has done her part, I don't want you seeing her that way okay? Whatever she did is between the both of us"

"Okay"

"I hope you know that i live in a two bed room flat with a flat mate." "I know, you already told me before. You live with one woman" "Exactly. So, there are people I'll like you to meet, people that are dear to me. First, you're going to meet the twin sister God gave me"

Ossy arced his brow in surprise, "Mummy are you a twin?" "No. But God gave me a twin of recent, she's a sweet lady. You would have spoken to her if she wasn't in a gathering now" "How is she your twin?"

"Well... We've both been through a lot of insecurities and we understands each other better " "What's insecurities?" "Like... How should I put this, like now, I'm fat and she's slim. There are some people that mock us for having structures they don't like. Some people even call us ugly"

"They don't have eyes"

Hilary chuckles, "Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Initially I was affected by their comments but now, I'm learning to love myself" "Mummy, do you know you're beautiful" "You think so?"

He nods with a smile, "Yes." "Thank you Baby" She exhales, "Thank you. You're going to meet Uncle Osita's wife and children; who are your sisters and brothers" "We're not related by blood are we?" "No. Osita was your father's best friend. They were like brothers, that was why he named you after him. Your Uncle Osita has been a good friend over the years after his ...his death"

"What about Uncle Manny ?"

"What about him?" "I'll see him right?"

"Sure you will"

"How long has he been your friend ?"

"No. It has only been a month but it feels like forever" She replied biting her lower lips. "I thought he was your boyfriend, I asked him" 'Jesus Christ! You did?"

"Yes he said no"

"How did you meet?"

"It's a long story. You should sleep"

"I'm not feeling sleepy yet"

"Why? Are you missing them?"

Ossy nods, "Chinedu's leg would have been kicking my face by now" He replied and his mother chuckled, "I'll miss them, I'll miss waking them up, I'll miss having to drag isioma's leg to pull her out of her dream and she talks in her sleep. After playing in real life, they always continue the play in The dream. You will hear isioma shout, wait for me, wait for me now, that time, her leg is pounding your face"

Hilary laughed.

"Then you'll hear, wait make I piss small, by this time, the whole bed is soaked with pee. Even your body will be smelling like pee. Mummy I've suffered in Isioma's hand"

"Sorry" Hilary laughed watching his shake his head like an old man then he hissed. Suddenly he broke into laughter, "Now whenever I hear her say, wait make I pee, I'll just stand up with speed and slap her face. There was one day that she woke up crying, I told grandma that I was trying to kill mosquito on her face"

Hilary busted into a ribs cracking laughter.

Sam extended the wine flute to Sewuese while she had her eyes on a painting. "I thought you'll need one" He said and a smile curled her lips. She met his gaze, her sultry black eyes ignited a fire inside him. She grabbed it brought it to her lips, and took a sip.

His eyes dipped to admire everything about her from her head to her toe.

"Do you like it?"

"What? The drink?"

"No. The art." "Yes," She replied glancing back at it. "It's definitely giving the love feedback. Who doesn't like love?" "Only a fool and I can't help falling in love with you everyday. That's why I'm here, before someone steals you away."

"I think you already destroyed every chances of me being stolen by anyone" "The other Sewuese said you look like one lady, she showed me a picture and i looked her up. She's a human right activist who's practicing Medicine"

"Osas Osaze Briggs?"

"Yes"

"It's not the first time I'm hearing it, they said it to me but truthfully, I don't see the resemblance" She replied taking another sip, "Do you want me to let you in with a secret?" She whispered and his eyes lit in interest.

"What?"

"I hate siping drinks, i would have gulp the whole thing if I wasn't trying not to act like a village girl" "Guess what? I don't care if you act like a village, I'll still love you" He replied watching her blushed.

"Even if I embarrass you?"

"I'll just the embarrassing team just to make you look good"

"That's sweet."

"Wanna dance with me?"

Sewuese gasped then she looked around the environment. No one was dancing, people were having conversations, viewing paintings, taking pictures but no one was dancing. Why is this man bent on embarrassing her??

"There's no one dancing here"

"It's our last dance"

"God forbid!" She snapped, "It's not going to be our last dance" Her eyes were moist at this point,of course she understood what he meant. She wished he didn't have to remind her that he will be leaving the following day.

She only wants to cherish this moments together. Sam laughed half heartedly instead, "You know what i mean. May i have this dance?" He asked stretching his hand and she gulped the whole wine. Thank God one of the waiters circulating the room passed by cause she quickly set her glass on the empty tray.

"Let's do this" She accepted his offer then she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body against his. Vibrations rippled through him as they collided. His hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer as they swayed to the music.

"I hope you're happy now that you're disgracing me"

Sam chuckles, "I am happy alright. Happy to have you in my arms before I leave, I wish I can hold you in my arms forever. I wish I didn't have to leave" He confessed and tears trickled down her eyes.

Sam swallowed hard. He forced himself not to stare at Emma's lips, it looked quite inviting. "I want to kiss you but apparently, it seems like I won't get a chance before I leave"

Sewuese pushed Sam into the room then she pulled him in for a kiss, wanting to cherish this moment for eternity. He claimed her mouth, tentatively at first, then with a gentle pressure, he deepened the kiss. She opened her mouth to him and their tongues tangled, electricity surged through her body.

In attempt to take off his suit, Sam pulled back shaking his head, "No, not here, not now, I want to do this the African way, the right way. A way your parents will be proud of. I just want to kiss you that's all" " I only want you to be comfortable" "Oh." "Yes" She replied with a hearty laughter then She bit her lip, and that small movement sent a thrill of excitement through him.

She yanked his suit off then he leaned forward, exploring the softness near her collarbone, nipping gently and enjoying her sighs of pleasure while he slids his hands across her waist.

He claimed Sewuese's mouth, once again moaning his satisfaction until she breathlessly pulled away busting into tears.

"When did you say you'll be coming back again?"

"Before Mrs George's birthday, maybe 25th"

"That's 21 days from now. That's three weeks"

Sam lets out a frustrated hiss. He embraced her, nuzzling his face against the top of her hair. He inhaled her vanilla fragrance of her hair product and closed his eyes. "Wish I didn't have to go tomorrow. This is beyond my control" "I know... I'll miss you" She confessed sobbing.

Bella walked up to Gbadamosi holding on to a wine glass, "Hello sexy" She muttered and he groaned and rolled his eyes looked around in search of Kilahi who had gone into the toilet to ease herself. It was as if the universe was tempting him that evening. If he wants to react according to how he was feeling that moment, it won't look nice. Gbadamosi clenched his fist exhaling silently, "Holy spirit help me" He muttered turning back at Kitty Kat who raised her glass at him throwing in a seductive wink from a distance.

"Great!" He muttered.

"Apart from here, where do you think we can meet?"

"Hopefully in heaven when you give your life to Christ." He replied scornfully then he walked off towards Manny. "Oh we'll surely meet again." She replied with confidence, after all, fate made her among the people planning his mother's birthday party.

Katty👆🏼

Kilahi pushed the toilet door open in order to get out, only find a lady waiting, she seemed pressed. "Tell me this one is manageable. I don't understand how ladies can come to an event like this looking all touche and Porsche but will still make a mess of the toilet as if they don't have water closet in their houses"

She complained and a chuckle escaped from Kilahi's lips, "This one is clean Ma" She got out and the woman rushed in shutting the door.

Kilahi goes to the sink to wash her hands, beside her was Katty who was touching her body. Increasing the gap in between the suit she wore to expose more cleavages.

Kilahi was left with no choice but to pretend as though she doesn't know her. She has been trying her best to avoid clashing into any of Gbadamosi's ex lover. She didn't even want to meet their eyes, those contemptible stares they may be giving her.

"Hey darling" She said with a slight wave and Kilahi smiled at her, "Hey, good evening" She replied.

That was her cue to leave!

She arranged the tie on her neck then she made a turn to leave, "Your dress... Who made them for you?" Katty asked and she shrugged, "Myself" "Oh.. You're a designer"

"Not professionally"

"Makes sense now, I can spot a few mistake, I'm a fashion designer slash art collector myself"

"I guess you made your dress too?"

"From yours truly"

Where's the remaining part? She wanted to ask but she restrained herself. Wasn't she leaving the toilet for her?

"Pastor Gbadamosi is such a hottie you know. I live in the same estate with him. God that man does unimaginable things to me from afar. I'm so sure sex with him with be explosive"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you know I jack off from just looking at his picture, its crazy but I can't help it lately, let's just say he's my new fetish. Men like him, you just have no option but to share."

Kilahi nods in understanding, she's obviously aware of their dating status. But what will she gain from this cheap talk? Is it supposed to make her angry?

Katty finally faced her, "So you're the one he picked huh?" "Excuse me?"

"You're excused. Don't pretend you don't know what I mean. I mean you and the Pastor" "Who are you and what do you want?" She feigned oblivion. "I'm a collector, I came to collect arts but now i have another agenda. To collect your boyfriend, if you don't mind. You will have to share this guy oh, I'm sure his thing can go round for two"

"Jeez!" She gasped in surprise, the audacity she had to say it right in her presence.

"Are you aware we have history together?"

"That has to be the shortest history in the world cause you flirted and he gave you a tracts as souvenir. I heard you wasted 10 minutes of his time while he was out exercising with his friends. Or was it five minutes"

"It's still history, he couldn't help drooling"

"Whether you had history, government and civic education with him, its not my business studies. Please leave it in your CV, this Is not a job interview and I don't need need to know about it. Thank you very much, I'll be leaving you now" She turned her back leaving and she followed her out with a grin.

"Hm... Baby girl can growl too. He hasn't been able to keep his eyes off me. I hope you know"

Kilahi continued walking, "Perhaps he's only looking for the nearest wrapper to cover your nakedness. Trust me, I was tempted to use the velvet curtains" She didn't bother looking at her but Katty followed her keenly.

"Oh please, he was clearly drooling just like he did that day. But it's okay to be defensive after all... How can i say this without sounding petty. You don't exactly look like his type, quite franky, you don't look like anyone's type"

Kilahi stopped, she shut her eyes then she opened it, her heart tightened, she was hurt. What has she done to receive so much body shaming insult from people that evening?

"I hope you're not offended, I mean, I'm just being truthful. You don't exactly look like someone he should date, you don't look like the regular Pastor's wife. I usually think that when a Pastor finally settles down, he'll pick someone beautiful someone that should stop him from looking out but between the two of us. They never stop looking out. Do you know how many I've gotten down with?"

Gbadamosi quickly zoomed towards the both of them, "Katerine, what are you doing?" "Hey Tiger" She called out touching him but he shoved her hands away. "I was just telling your girlfriend how many men of God I've been with. I'm just waiting to add you to the list"

Kilahi scoffed, "Good luck with that. Are you done?" She snapped, "Choicest, let's go" She held on to his hand but Katty scoffed instead.

"Did you use jazz on him? It's jazz right?"

"Katherine" Gbadamosi called out, "I'll handle this myself" Kilahi said then she moved close to her, "Are you going to beat me?" "No. Just a word of advise Katherine" "It's Kitty Kat or Katty" "Your real name" "Kitty Kat , katty or nothing."

"I give up, you need Jesus in your life. You think messing around with men of God is the best? You're making men fall, that's a sin on it's own. I'm sure deep deep deep down you're better than this"

"Yada Yada yada" Katty interrupted rolling her eyes, "I'm bored. Why not try harder, is that how you won his heart? Through motivational speech."

Gbadamosi held her hands away, "Ignore her" He begged but Kilahi turned back instead, tears were building up in her eyes, "Who are you to think someone like me cannot end up with someone like him" She asked raising her voice.

A few attention turned towards their direction.

"My love ig.."

Kathy cuts in, "Well, you're not exactly the most prettiest, who am I kidding, let's be honest with each other, you're not pretty. Just take a look at me and then take a look at yourself, the difference is fucking clear" She ran her gaze once again at her, from her head to her toe.

"Ignore her"

"Gbadamosi please leave me alone" She cried out while she freeing herself from his grip.

"You're right. The difference is clear, since we're being honest with each other, trust me the difference is so clear and I don't want to be you. You're pretty no doubt but unlike you I don't equate nakedness to looking beautiful. No I don't, beauty is only skin deep."

Cameras were already up at this moment to capture the moment.

"I'm sure you must have heard this before but i hope it sinks into your head today. Beauty is not in facial appearance, no, it's in Character. A person should never be judged based on her appearance of how deficient she is beauty-wise. You can be deficient of beauty but sufficient in character and wisdom and that's all that matters, that's the real beauty. You define ugliness as lack of beauty but me, I see ugliness as a dent in your nature that takes you away from all form of morality and godliness. Whether you have scars on your face or body, freckles all over your face, whether you're black or whatever skin disease you have, as long as you have a good character backed up with respect for your fellow human, you're the most beautiful person ever. The most beautiful and oh your beauty will forever be cherished. Those with the bad characters, I'm talking about people like you who look at their fellow humans and call them ugly; they're the ugliest. Someone with good character might not have the best facial appearance but we've seen make up turn some scarred face individual into beautiful damsels but the truth is, you with the bad character, no matter the make up you wear, it can never cover it. Katty you look beautiful but even with the make up you wore, we can still see how unscrupulous you are. Make up does not hide bad character but Good character hides your bad visage. For everyone that has body shamed me tonight, newsflash guys, I am beautifully and wonderfully made by God. I'm not saying it to console myself, no! I know that i am and i show forth the character of God and that itself makes me more beautiful. We all have our ugly sides if you critically search yourself. I might not be the most beautiful but I'm beautiful inside and out and that my dear, is more enough" She exhaled.

Tension bound the room, the orchestra had stopped midway the speech, everyone's attention rapt on the both of them, including Gbadamosi.

Katty tried to keep her expression neutral, she was too pompous to let that word get to her.

Sam reacted by clapping his hands, Sewuese joined in matter of seconds there was an outburst of clapping from a whole lot of people.
But Kilahi she walked out instead while Gbadamosi followed her out, "Hey!" He called out holding her back. "I'm sorry about this, it's all my fault" "Its fine" She replied wiping her tears, "I'm sorry too for not listening to you. I just wanted to give her a piece of her mind"

"And you did"

"I feel ashame"

Gbadamosi laughed, "Why? You handled it the most mature way ever. It didn't end up in a cat fight" "Maybe I would have scratched her face and show her who's more Katty" She answered and they both laughed.

"The truth is, I don't even have strength for fight. Someone should not go and break the only surviving bone in my body"

Gbadamosi laughed again wiping her tears, "I was blessed by what you said" "I wasn't preaching, how can you be blessed"

"Still... I was blessed and a whole lot of people were too. You heard that applause at the end? People were blessed and proud of you" "Why did Sam clap? This is not an American movie" She pouts in shame.

"You deserved it. Character and wisdom, one of your many qualities and I love you and i become more proud of who you're becoming everyday"

"I love you too" She replied looking out at the rain that was beginning to pour outside, "How are we supposed to go home now? I didn't bring umbrella oh" "I'll drop the both of you home"

Kilahi pushed the door to Sefa's room open, she peeped and realized she was sleeping so she shut the door quietly moving away while fiddling with her phone. She had just turned on her data and messages were coming in from different corner.

Gbadamosi: Sleep well love❤💓

Hilary: Sends a picture of her and Ossy

Awn😍😘💓
Lovely

Did you tell him about me? You were online one hour ago. I guess you're asleep, I hope you prayed before sleeping. Good night to you and my nephew😘

She arced her brow on seeing a message from her cousin, Adiya. They haven't chatted in two months, the last time she chatted her up was to congratulate her after her final exams in January.

Adiya : Good evening Aunty Kilahi

How are you? I hope you're good.

How's work?

Please don't take this the wrong way... I've been looking for a way to do this for weeks now.

That's our wedding card... I'm sure you must have heard. I spoke to Aunty Mabel. I don't want to come off an insultive. There are two slots left for my bridal train. Mom said I should ask you and Aunty Sewuese, I didn't want to but you know how she can be. Its fine if you don't want to participate, I'll come up with an excuse for her.

This is the material

I'll sends other picture later. Let me know if you'll be interested. If your answer is yes, I'll like your measurement so I can give it to the fashion designer. If no, fine, i can still send the general Asoebi so you'll pick the one you like, pay for it so I can send it through Jennifer the next time she will be going to Lagos"

Thank you. Looking forward to your response.

Good night Ma

Kilahi gave it a thought the she sends in her report.

Congratulations💃🏽💃🏽.

Sorry this is coming late. I received the news of your wedding at a very busy point in my life. I completely forgot.

The material looks nice, is it polo or cotton? I'm sure they'll look nice on me so yes! I'll like to be on that train and I don't feel offended in anyway.

Congrats again. 🎉

As for the measurements, I'll send it in tomorrow.

Somewhere In Lagos

Tricia,a content creator, positions her phone on a tripod stand, "You wan create content this night?" Her sister asked and she nods, "Yes" "Why?" "Babes... Did you see that video I took? Before tomorrow everyone will be posting and sharing it. Let Tricia tales be the first to drop this one abeg"

"Na wa oh, you go come deg awake edit am"

"I want to start now, abeg carry your own go" She laughed pressing play.

"Halo to my special people"

"I just come tell you say make you dey try drink water small. That shit way you leave for inside toilet, on to say I don empty two pail on water o. top him head, the thing dey do odechi, e dey buga inside the toilet"

Tricia looked into the camera, "So assuming this thing dey live na so you for take disgrace your sister reputation" "As you rush to come post content, you wash your yansh well so?"

"Getat!" She screamed laughing loudly stopping the video. "You better come flush that stone" "Help me now" "On top two pail of water way i don use, water even flash for my face, on top shit way no be my own"

"Jesus Christ! Empty the tank if you like now. I love you! How many sister I get?"

"You better start to drink water. Pile is real" She hissed leaving and Tricia exhaled starting the recording all over again.

"Halo my country people, its ya girl again and I'm here to give you a load down of how the Art exhibition i attended. I already posted some pictures but I promised you guys gist and gist you must have. I'm happy i went for it, I don't regret it for a minute, everything was set and looking lit, from the sound to the light to the concept. Everything was Paranran and I'm talking about the Hebrew version. If you've never been to a classy cocktail party and you attended this particular exhibition, you'll feel like you just walked into an American movie scene. The whole thing was giving romantic sauce, even the kind of love that some people were doing was just entering into my eyes. I'll like to celebrate the convener of the gallery and the whole exhibition, Sam Thompson for selecting these Young and Talented Nigerians from different state. This guy was not partial in his choice, God bless you for believing in us. He was one of the people that pepper us with love with his girlfriend one TIV babe. The babe looks just Osas Osaze Briggs, the human activist that we all know that comes from Benin. It's from this situation that you'll know that God created us in twos..." She stopped the video shaking her head.

"The English sound crooked, abi should i say... Wo... make I use pidgin do cover up, I go join the thing together abeg." She paused starting another video.

"For there naim you go use know say God create us two two for this world. These two danced in front of everyone , it was so romantic. After, them disappear, where them disappear go, no ask me. I took a video of the moment, I hope I don't get sued for this but I think it's beautiful and you guys will certainly enjoy it. Now to the interesting part of the night, this was my favorite part cause I love violence and I'll like you guys to tell me what you think of the situation. I didn't hear the whole thing from the beginning but I was able to make sense out of it when this babe started talking. So... Apparently this shanky babe called this other babe ugly and I saw where a man of God, Pastor Gbadamosi George of the Most High, I celebrate you Sir, he was trying to push the babe away, you know men of God, they love peace but this babe was like, no, leave me alone I want violence" Tricia paused laughing.

"Just kidding though. What shocked me was the way she handled the Situation. Warri girl like me, if someone tells me that I'm ugly. I go make sure say you chop sand belleful, I would have gone violent but she didn't. The babe just started solving wisdom equation, X + Y equals Z but if you minus Y again, you'll have X. See, I cannot begin explain everything, you guys should watch the video. She rubbish that babe with wisdom, you don hear of wisdom way dey rubbish other people wisdom? The shanky girl think say she wise but this babe just drop silent wisdom like missile, the one way Solomon use to take rubbish that selfish woman for bible.

So what do you guys think of her actions? Should she have reacted that way? If you were in her shoes, how would you have reacted?

4:13 am

Kilahi paced side by side mumbling in tongue with an earpiece stuck in her ears while she listened to an instrumental. She had a whole lot on her prayer list.

She wasn't going to follow them in this particular order but as the spirit leads.

"My family shall wax stronger, we will not derail out of your will. We shall not die but live to declare Your works in the land of the living, we shall not die.." She paused nodding her head. "Sefa, you shall not die. Lord let your mercy speak on her behalf, God let your mercy speak. I counter the arrow, I counter it, wherever it's coming from, I soak your daughter into your blood"

During her sleep that night, Sefa dreamt she was being watched from a distance. Someone tickled her face, and when she opened up her eyes, she found to Buchi above her, just when she was about to scream he covered her lips with his palm.

She attempts to pull herself free of his grasp but fail. His fingers now clasping my wrist tighten, she now had the freedom to scream. "Please don't do this" She shove him in the chest but he didn't move an inch.

"You think say you don escape bah, you think say I no get you for mind." He laughed errily while other hand undo his belt. "I don tell you already, I no dey lose investment, not now, not tomorrow, not ever. If I no fit invest in you physically, guess where another kind of investment way I go do?"

With a startled gasp, Sefa awoke in a confused daze. She was sweating profusely. Kilahi pushed the door open, "Hey, you're awake." She noticed the horror on her face, "Are you okay?"

"Yes. I... I thought i heard the sound of rat" She lied with a straight face.

"Rat? I hope not oh. Are you sure?"

"I don't know... Maybe its the sleep in my eyes"

"Are you sure you're fine"

"Yes. I just want to go back to sleep"

"It's past 5 in the morning but it's okay if you still want to sleep. I'll advise you use this time to pray to God. If possible, pray towards the evangelism today."

"I've heard" She exhale watching Kilahi leave the room. The moment she did, she collapse in bed in one great sob, Sefa buried her head against the pillow.

What do you guys think about the update?

What's going on with Sefa? Is she going through post traumatic reaction from the incidence or what?

Who likes Kilahi's reaction?

Or would you prefer Vawulence?😂🤣
