Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

At present , there were thirty active members of the choir out of which ten were present that evening. At the front of the group stood sister Ronke , a rotund soprano who always managed to get on everyone ’s nerve with her constant bickering and complaining , behind her was brother Wale , a quiet and reserved baritone who managed to get along with everyone , there was also shy Sylvia , Gossiping Gloria and Lazy Lanre . The odd mix and assortment of his members contributed in no small measure to increase the fun and intrigue in the choir. It took a while for him to get his members adequately prepared to begin rehearsals, and when he started, he was so enraptured in the flow of the music as he always was, despite the absence of any instruments and instrumentalists that he lost track not only of time but his hunger and weakness as well . It was about an hour into the rehearsal which was going on very successfully when the vice president sister ane walked in through the rear exit. Tonye had no idea she was there and kept on with his rehearsal for another full thirty minutes before he turned back and noticed her sitting on one of the benches in the hall .

He quickly broke up the rehearsal , looking at his watch , and deciding that it was time to call it a day . He told brother Lanre to lock up the valuables and rushed to where sister Jane sat , apologising profusely for not seeing her earlier . ” I am so sorry sister, I did not know when it was you walked in ” He started ” Oh no , its fine , it is not a problem , I was really enjoying the rrehearsal and I wished you had not stopped. You are doing a really good job brother , I must commend you” ” thank you very much ma” He replied ” Anyway , that is not why I am here today , there is an issue of extreme importance I want addressed as soon as possible” she continued ” Ah , ma, I hope there is no problem ?” he inquired ” No not at all , brother Tonye , as a matter of fact things are going on well , there are just some issues I want us to trash out ” she finished ” Oh okay . Please tell me, what are they ?” he asked ” No , wwe can not talk about them here .

I want you to come to my room at the secretariat on sunday evening after service . It is important that we discuss them in private ” she told him sunday was a good three days away, but Tonye did not allow curiosity to overwhelm him as he readily agreed to meet her there. She thanked him and walked away , and he could swear he noticed a sly grin cross her face. Somehow he could not help but shake away the uneasy feeling that settled in the pit of his stomach as his hunger and weakness returned with a rush .
