Listen To My story-episode 16

After writing his exams,Bode came

home.

One sunday after service,i saw Pastor

Williams holding his

hand n they both entered d pastor’s

office.

When they wouldnt come out after

about one hour thirty

minutes,Pst Mrs said i should let us

go home,dt she would

come back to d church later to pick

Pastor.

So we left to go n prepare lunch as d

children were hungry.

About one hour after we got

home,Pastor Williams trekked

home with Bode.

I didnt need anybody to tell me he

had been seriously

scolded.He was looking like a kid

whose mother didnt

remember to drop d key of d

cupboard where his lunch was

kept before she left d house.

Mummy n i were in d kitchen when

they came in.

Bode came to meet us there,greeted

mummy,n then turned

to me.

“Pls,we need to talk privately, Pastor

said i should come n

meet u,so we can talk n sort things

out.”

I wondered why,but then i turned to

mummy “Am i allowed

ma?”.

“Of course,my dear.Go to ur

room”.She answered.

We both went inside d room n left d

door widely opened.

Goodness and Mercy (Pastor’s five

year old twins) ran

after us to d room.

I heard their mum shouting from d

kitchen “Come here

o,Mercy!, Goodness!!..Aunty Sewa will

soon come n join

u,dont disturb them”.

As soon as d children left, Bode said

“Pls,i’m sorry for

everything i’ve put u tru. Pastor have

made me realise my

mistake,he really spoke to me.He

even asked if i’m born

again.I told him i am.I only yielded to

d call of d flesh.He

made me to pray a prayer of

forgiveness,n i believe u’ve

done d same,i also believe God has

forgiven us.I promise u

n God,just as i’ve promised my

Pastor,dt such will never

happen again,not with u nor any

other woman,except d one

i eventually get married to.Pls,find a

place in ur heart to

forgive me.” He started shedding

tears.

I asked him if he wouldnt mind going

to Lagos to meet my

dad.

He said he didnt want to go

initially,but Pastor Williams

told him to go,so he has decided to

go.He said he would go

during d week.I gave him my dad’s

number n he called him

right there.

Daddy told him to come on thursday

or friday,as he wont be

in Lagos from monday to wednesday.

When he left,i told mummy

everything we discussed.

She said “Thank God he’s able to

realise his mistakes. Dont

worry,God will surely perfect

everything. Let’s just keep

praying. He never fails.”

Again,we prayed about Bode’s

meeting with my dad,dt

God’s perfect will should be done.

She asked if i had an idea of what my

dad wanted to

discuss with Bode.

I said i had no idea,dt my mum only

told me dt she had

been talking to daddy everyday about

my case,n dt she

really begged him before he could

agree to come to Oyan to

meet Bode’s mum. And as God would

have it,they needed to

attend dt programme at Ikirun which

was just a few

kilometers to Oyan.

“Well,all shall be well”. She

answered.

Finally,thursday came.

Bode called me very early in d

morning,to inform me dt he

was in d park,waiting for d bus to be

full,n then,he would

be on his way to Lagos.

What happened in Lagos?.

What did he come back with?.

Watch out in d next part.
