Hear My Story (Episode 5)

HEAR MY STORY..Part 5
Finally,it was 1st of April.Bisi n some of d sisters of NCCF
came to my house to help in d cooking.D birthday was fixed for
12pm,since we would be having choir practise by 5pm.
We ate,drank n made merry,in fact,it was indeed a memorable
occassion. 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 dt some people
still came with gifts. D most surprising one was d 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 d one dt told her,n she said "no
wonder she came to buy many ingredients yesterday!"..she
then rushed inside her room n came out with a pack of 4 glass
cups.
"Help me to wrap ds n give it to her,tell her i wish her long life
n prosperity".
On hearing ds,i automatically fell in love with d woman. I
collected it from him with thanks n after d birthday,we went
to church for d choir practise.
We ended d practise around 7pm.
Everybody left for their houses. Bode was discussing with one
of d brothers when i left d church.
I got to my room around 7.15pm,d sisters dt stayed to clean d
plates n utensils we used for d birthday did a thorough
job,they tidied up everywhere,including my room,n set
everything in place.
I laid on my bed,closed my eyes,thanking God for d day n
everyone He used to make d day a lovely one,when i heard a
knock on d door.
"Who is dt?". I asked as i quickly came out of my thought.
"It's Bode o".
Of course,i could recognise his voice.
"Come in,d door is not locked" i answered.
Before he could enter,i quickly got up n sat on d bed,i adjusted
my dress n brushed my hair backwards with my right hand. I
wondered why he came back,afterall he's been in my house
since morning.
When he entered,he sat down on a plastic chair in d room. He
said his mum told him i came to buy ingredients from her d
previous day,n dt she loves my simplicity,n all those stuff. He
said some other things,n upon all,i could get dt he really didnt
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,moreso,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.

Keep d blessing.
