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 d 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 d 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 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 d rumour going on, and this?....
Finally, d service was over. I found myself sitting next to Pastor Mrs Williams on a three seater sofa inside d pastor's office.
Good afternoon ma.
How are u my dear?.
I'm fine ma.
"I know u would be wondering why i wanted to see u..said Mrs Williams".
"Yes ma".I answered.
She continued....It's about a rumour going on in d church. Can u please shed more light on d relationship between u 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 u, because d very first day i set my eyes on u, i knew u came from a christian home, and i have no doubt in my spirit that u are
well trained..but then, i want u to be very careful because there is power in tongues. Don't give d devil any chance at all, and don't trust yourself..if u see or hear a child of God saying "i trust
myself, i can never commit fornication"..then, u have heard or
seen someone at the verge of falling. Remember 1 Cor 10 v.12.
So, please be very careful and d Lord shall help u in Jesus' name.
I said "Thank u ma", and left d 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 d same age with Oyindamola..our second to d last
born? Not even d one next to me!..Well, i just need to be careful, help me Oh Lord!".
So,what happened next?.
Watch out in part 4.
Remain blessed.
