Lekki Sisi - S01 E11

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 11

Tola returned that night from her trip with sharwama and suya. How I finished two packs of sharwama after the efo and semovita I prepared that evening surprised me. Mercy didn’t touch any of the things Tola brought.

She shook her head and said, ‘It’s late. Besides, I just finished eating two wraps of semo few hours before you arrived.’

Tola pleaded with her to spend the night with us. When it was time to sleep, Mercy placed the extra mattress on the floor.

I was on the bed watching some Instagram videos when Mercy stood up and left the room. I checked the time. 1 a.m. I had been watching instagram videos for three hours?

I stood up to use the restroom when I heard Mercy’s voice from the living room. I peeped to find her kneeling in front of the center table, a bible opened in front of her. She was praying in tongues.

I was suddenly agitated. Who does Mercy think she is? All these holier-than-thou sisters. They are all fake. She knew her purpose. She wouldn’t eat with us because it was late. She stood up at exactly 1a.m to pray.

‘Rubbish!’, I hissed.

She would soon get tired. I have been there several times, praying all through the night and screaming my lungs out in church with Kunle.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had never prayed alone in my room for more than ten minutes. Kunle had been my fire and now that fire was gone. I felt empty as I climbed the bed beside Tola who was already fast asleep.
