Story: Hear My Story - Season 1 Episode 8

It was Pastor Mrs.She was on her way to school dt monday
morning as she taught in a primary school at Oyan,but she
quickly branched at my place to check on me.
She came with a basket containing pepper soup,jollof
rice,vegetable soup and obe ila alasepo (okro soup with stew
ingredients).
She said she didnt know d one i would love to eat,but i
should try and take d pepper soup as it would deal with dt
malaria fever.She told me to warm them as i could see she
brought them out of d freezer dt morning,and couldnt wait
to warm them before leaving d house to prevent her from
getting late to school.
I collected d basket from her,appreciated her and sat on
my plastic chair.
“Can i drop u at d health centre for ur injection?,since its
on d same route to my school”.She asked.
“I’m not ready yet ma,i will take a bike.Thank u ma”.
“It’s a pleasure my dear.So,how are u feeling now?.”
“I’m better today ma”.I answered.
“Oh!.Thank God.My mind was with u throughout d night.I
really couldnt sleep soundly.I started blaming myself for
allowing u to stay here all alone,i should have forced u to
come with us yesterday.But,hope u slept well,and….”
I switched off!..I was hearing in my spirit “Open up to
her!.Open up to her!!”.
Then i heard another voice contrary to dt one saying “Dont
try it!.U’ll disappoint her.U can see how she loves and
cares for u,she’ll withdraw d gesture..What if….”
Suddenly,i felt Pastor Mrs’ hand on my shoulder.
She tapped me and said “Are u okay?.I’ve called u
twice,but u didnt respond.
What is bothering u?.What are u thinking of?.Feel free to
share it with me,i’m a mother..”
Before she could finish her sentence,i cut in “Nothing ma”.
“Hunhun!.Dont tell me there’s nothing when obviously
there’s something.Dt’s a lie,and i dont expect u as a child
of God to tell one,if u dont want to share it,just say u dont
want to share it,instead of saying there’s nothing when
there’s something.”
I was dumbfounded.I didnt know when i said “Okay ma,i
will tell u later”.
“Dt’s better my dear.See u later then.Hurry up so u can go
for ur injection on time.Make sure u eat before u go.” She
said.
“Okay ma.Thanks Mum.”
She left.
I got to d health centre dt morning and saw Bisi.She was
surprised to see me,and also to hear dt i didnt attend d
burial of Bode’s dad.
When she asked “why?” i told her i was sick,but didnt tell
her beyond dt.
As i was getting back home,i met Bode coming out of d
corpers’ quarters.
I was a bit shy to look at his face,remembering what
happened between us.I was no longer free with him.I wish i
didnt see him.
He gave me souvenirs of his dad’s burial,and said his mum
sent her greetings,and dt she promised to come and visit
me as soon as she could go out.
I took those things from him and thanked him.
Then he said “Sis Sewa,i’m indeed very sorry for what
happened last week.Its d devil.Pls forgive me..”
He wanted to hold my hand,but i didnt allow him.
I said “Its fine!,Its fine!!”.Just go.”

Then what happened next?.
