EPISODE 4
Finally, it was 1st of April, my birthday. Bisi and some of d sisters of NCCF
came to my house to help in the cooking. The birthday was fixed for
12pm,since we would be having choir practice by 5pm.
We ate, drank and 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 because I
remembered I didn’t tell her when I saw her in d market d
previous day, he said he was that 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
and 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 practice.
We ended the practice around 7pm.
Everybody left for their houses. Bode was discussing with one
of the brothers when I left the church.
I got to my room around 7.15pm, the sisters that stayed to clean the
plates and utensils we used for the 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 the 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 n sat on d 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 d
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 d 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 and said “ok, Sis Sewa, good night”.
He came over to where I was, and gave me a very tight and warm
hug.
I could sense a feeling from that hug, but I ignored it.
Anyway, he left that night.
