Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 16

Wale gave up and sat beside Patrick. The two brothers looked at each other for a moment and began to laugh.

I had never been in a church gathering with so much warm ambience. It was all strange to me.

If Kunle were here, he would be so angry and walk out of the meeting, dragging me with him. Afterwards he’d give me a fifty minutes lecture on ‘The perils of bringing the world into the church.’

Finally, the noise died down and all attention was focused on Patrick. He wasn’t as attractive as Wale. No broad chest, no beards, no piercing eyes but in his ordinariness, something radiated from within that made you want to know him more.

‘I’m so happy to be back home. I missed Nigeria and I missed the people of God.’

Wale glanced at him. ‘We are sorry we couldn’t fly over for your convocation.’

He smiled. ‘I clearly understand. I got all your messages on the group platform. That was more than enough. Thank you for your support and prayers.’

Wale stood up. ‘Brethren I present to you Doctor Patrick Asemota.’

Hugs. Handshakes. More laughter.

‘There is a welcome party at my father’s residence this evening. You are all invited.’ Patrick said, as he returned to his seat.

Wale turned to me. I froze. What was he going to do now?

‘We have a new member in our midst. Her name is Sis Tinuke. Let us welcome her.’ I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me as I stood amidst hugs and handshakes.
