Baptism episode 2

~BAPTISM

EPISODE 2.~

He stumbled out of the room and left. I was already scared thinking I'll be the next sermon topic or I and Naomi might probably be called the next Sunday to face the pastors and elders.

Naomi told me such isn't happening because pastor Michael like her and told her that the holy spirit informed him that she's his wife. He had been pestering her for almost three months.

So pastor Michael sef they find better things, this life no balance.
And here's pastor smiling at me when I got to church. My mind was telling me that it's a trap that I should run but I didn't have anywhere to run to.

I was very suspicious of the smile and instead of me to carry my bible and shoe and return home, I stayed.
Service started and I took my position as an usher.

After the service ended, I was summoned into the pastors office .
My heart was beating faster because I thought pastor Michael had reported me.

" Ah, Naomi, is this what you told me, this is not good oo", I used my eye to convey that to Naomi as I saw her on my way to the office.
I got to the office and met only the head pastor and pastor Michael inside it.
My heartbeat increased again as different type of scenario ran through my head.

" how are you brother Pelumi " head pastor greeted me smiling. I heaved a sigh of relief seeing him smile because it meant I wasn't in trouble.
I reciprocated his greetings also smiling.
" pastor Michael told me you didn't come to church upper Sunday " he said to me.

" yes sir " I replied nodding my head like an agama lizard.
" my grandma's elder sister that gave birth to the father of my niece's brother swallowed fork and we had to take care of her " I added.

" bad, it was the Sunday we planned to go and baptist all of you that are yet to be baptized and you're missing " Head pastor said. I knowingly skipped church that Sunday because I didn't want to get baptized yet.
