After writing his exams,Bode came home.One sunday after service,i saw Pastor Williams holdinghishand n they both entered d pastor’s office.When they wouldnt come out after about one hour thirtyminutes,Pst Mrs said i should let us go home,dt shewouldcome back to d church later to pick Pastor.So we left to go n prepare lunch as d children werehungry.About one hour after we got home,Pastor Williamstrekkedhome with Bode.I didnt need anybody to tell me he had been seriouslyscolded.He was looking like a kid whose mother didntremember to drop d key of d cupboard where his lunchwaskept 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 thenturnedto me.“Pls,we need to talk privately, Pastor said i should comenmeet u,so we can talk n sort things out.”I wondered why,but then i turned to mummy “Am iallowedma?”.“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) ranafter us to d room.I heard their mum shouting from d kitchen “Come hereo,Mercy!, Goodness!!..Aunty Sewa will soon come njoinu,dont disturb them”.As soon as d children left, Bode said “Pls,i’m sorry foreverything i’ve put u tru. Pastor have made me realisemymistake,he really spoke to me.He even asked if i’m bornagain.I told him i am.I only yielded to d call of dflesh.Hemade me to pray a prayer of forgiveness,n i believe u’vedone d same,i also believe God has forgiven us.Ipromise un God,just as i’ve promised my Pastor,dt such will neverhappen again,not with u nor any other woman,except donei eventually get married to.Pls,find a place in ur heart toforgive me.” He started shedding tears.I asked him if he wouldnt mind going to Lagos to meetmydad.He said he didnt want to go initially,but Pastor Williamstold him to go,so he has decided to go.He said he wouldgoduring d week.I gave him my dad’s number n he calledhimright there.Daddy told him to come on thursday or friday,as hewont bein 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.Dontworry,God will surely perfect everything. Let’s just keeppraying. He never fails.”Again,we prayed about Bode’s meeting with my dad,dtGod’s perfect will should be done.She asked if i had an idea of what my dad wanted todiscuss with Bode.I said i had no idea,dt my mum only told me dt she hadbeen talking to daddy everyday about my case,n dt shereally begged him before he could agree to come toOyan tomeet Bode’s mum. And as God would have it,theyneeded toattend dt programme at Ikirun which was just a fewkilometers to Oyan.“Well,all shall be well”. She answered.Finally,thursday came.Bode called me very early in d morning,to inform me dthewas in d park,waiting for d bus to be full,n then,hewouldbe on his way to Lagos.What happened in Lagos?.What did he come back with?.Watch out in d next part.
