Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 58

At a point, Patrick looked at me and said,

‘See the way your eyes lighten up when you talk about business. Are you sure God is calling you to be a missionary?

‘Yes. See, you and Mimi cannot stop me.’ I started singing.

I have decided to follow Jesus

No turning back, no turning back.

Patrick laughed. ‘I don hear you.’

We were interrupted by a staff of the eatery. They wanted to close up. It was then we realized we had been sitting down there for hours.

Instead of driving home, we sat in the car and talked. When Patrick starts the engine, another gist would come up and he’d turn it off and then we’ll talk. We went on like that for about an hour.

‘You’ll be leaving Lagos for Ibadan tomorrow?’ I asked, as we drove towards V.I where Mimi’s house was located.

Patrick nodded his head as he reached for a bottle of water. ‘I’ll be very busy for the next two weeks.’

‘So you won’t come to Lagos at all?’

He shook his head. ‘Nope.’ He winked at me. ‘Are you going to miss me?’

‘Who will miss you. Go joor.’

Patrick laughed. His eyes fell on the car clock. ‘Oh my God! It’s 11:30.’

My eyes widened. I brought out my phone. ‘Oh no! Mimi has called me several times.’

When we got to the gate, it was locked. I had never stayed out this late before.

‘Patrick, what do we do?’

Patrick dialed Mimi’s number.

‘Hello.’ I could hear her voice over the speaker.

‘Good evening ma. Please we are at the gate.’ Patrick said.

‘Ok.’ She ended the call.

When Mimi opened the gate, I couldn’t tell if she was upset with me, but when I saw her husband standing beside her, my heart fainted. Mimi might not say much but you see Bro Femi, he does not take nonsense.

‘Patrick, look at the time you are bringing Tinuke back home.’

Patrick prostrated. ‘I’m very sorry sir. It won’t happen again.’

‘Don’t try it again. Good night.’

Patrick left and I walked quietly into the house like a teenage girl ready to be spanked. How did time fly so quickly. Patrick had been away from Lagos for almost a month and it felt like we hadn’t seen in years. He was my best friend. There was nothing Patrick didn’t know about me.
