"wow what a surprise. So pleased to see you pastor" i nervously murmured as i ushered the man of God into my sitting room. He smiled as he settled down quietly, his eyes all over me.
Chioma was in my bedroom arranging my stuffs. The last thing i wanted was her seeing the pastor nor listening to our conversation. It really would mess things up because i already knew the reason the pastor was in my house.
"would you care for a little drink?" i asked, desperately trying to appear composed. He shook his head, smiling in a relaxed manner.
"don't bother yourself ken. I actually was passing by the neighbourhood, before i remembered you live here, so i decided to stop by. However there are somethings i also intend asking you" he said calmly, while i nervously threw a glance towards my bedroom door, staring at Chioma as she innocently showed up smiling like a new wife.
"good evening sir" she greeted the pastor, who for the first time looked shocked and surprised. I had to do a quick introduction.
"meet my good friend and a colleague sir. Her name is chioma",
"Chioma meet my pastor. A wonderful father and Man of God" i introduced quietly. The pastor was too stunned to say anything. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind that moment.
Chioma disappeared into the kitchen a minute later, while i nervously faced the pastor.
"so why did you stop attending church programmes and what's actually going on between you and sister Mary?" he asked curiously. I quickly stood up, forcing out a smile.
"i'm going through a whole lot of crises right now sir. Please i will be coming to see you tomorrow afternoon. We can't talk here" i said seriously. He breathed deeply stood up and shrugged.
"make it thursday then. I won't be available tomorrow" he said as he offered his hand for a handshake.
"cool" i smiled as we shook hands.
Thankfully Chioma didn't listen to the short discussion i had
with the pastor. After taking her home hours later, i rushed over to Jboy's apartment and poured out the day's events to him.
"my man the worst is that i have tried my best to make Mary remove the unwanted blood, but she has adamantly refused, citing some religous bullshit reasons" i concluded unhapply.
"mehn. Hmmm. We have to grab the bull's horn this time" he said seriously, biting his lips while i nodded anxiously.
"make up with her, act as if all is well. After probably a week, a small sleeping pill and a hot injection will do. with the latest happenings, taking such a daring step is now inevitable" he suggested. I drew back with fear, swallowing hard, but as his suggestion settled in my head, i relaxed and smiled. His suggestion made perfect sense.
"it's risky but i have to do it. I have no choice" i agreed.
