*PART TWENTY TWO*
After the service, Adura sat down at the back inside the church, expecting those that told her to wait behind.
"Sis Adura, congratulations one more time. When are you now going to school? Bro Matthew asked
" Tomorrow sir. Thank you very much for the visitation, I really appreciate. I also remember, what about our discussion? She asked
"Really, I will miss you and about our discussion, I don't it is necessary again. If it's still important, I will let you know" he said and smiled
"Okay sir, no problem" she said
"I will be leaving now, I have something's to attend too" he said
"Alright, thank you very very much" she said as they waved to each other.
Where she sat, others going home came and greeted her. She smiled and thanked them.
"Can we be going home? You know you have to rest for tomorrow's journey" mother said as she took a chair and sat beside her.
"Yes o. I guess we can be going, I have seen those that asked me to wait but are we not going to go and greet pastor Jimi before going? She asked
"Yes, we are going. Let's go now" mother said as they stood up. On their way to his office, they met Pastor and his wife who called both of them
"We are sorry, for how we reacted towards you Adura. I know we ought to be there, and stand by you but we were carried away by fear. Please forgive us" Pastor said.
"Daddy, I have forgiven you before now" Adura said
"Thank you so much my dear and I pray God continue to be with you. You will be a blessing to your generation and nations in Jesus name . I wish you well in your academic" Evang (Mrs) Gbolahan said
"Amen!!!" Adura and her Mother chorused.
"Thank you so much mummy and daddy, we are grateful" mother said and they hugged each other. After, they proceed to pastor Jimi's office to thank him for everything and his support
"No o, all glory to God. Sis Adura, please don't be carried away by the school activities. Always remember to stand as God ambassador, and to that which the lord has done for you. I pray God reveal more of your purpose to you, and you won't miss it in the journey of faith. We love you and we will keep praying for you" Pastor Jimi said
"Thank you very much sir. I will always hold unto those words" she said
"Alright sir, we will love to go now. God bless you" mother said
"Thank you ma" He said and escorted them to the door. When they got outside the church, Danielle and Darasimi rushed to stop her and they congratulate her. They also apology for their actions and seek for her forgiveness.
"It's fine sisters. I have forgiven both of you" she said as they wished her safe journey to school and left.
"Only God can do this. See how your life turn around. Hmm, thank you Jesus" mother said as they continue talking while trekking home.
Our God is able, there is nothing he can't do or turn around.

*PART TWENTY THREE*
"Adura!!! Wake up" her mother said as she opened her door but she was praying.
"Ooh, I am sorry" mother said and closed the door. She continued with the house chores till she was through with her prayers.
"Mummy, Good morning ma" Adura greeted her as she came out.
"Morning my dear. How was your night rest? I hope you are ready for today's journey" mother said
"Yes mummy by God's grace. Is there anything I can help you with before I leave" she asked
"Woo..leave that for now and sit down. If you go now, who will be helping me. I need to start practicing" mother said as they sat down and were both smiling.
"Adura please, always remember the home you came from. Always be the good and devoted lady you use to be. Never depart from God and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call me. You know I don't have anyone except God and you.
When you get to Nsukka, don't start saying anything about Igbo guys. Remember you are in another land, love everyone as you love yourself. Be good to everyone and the lord will bless you my dear" mother said
"Thank you Mummy. I have heard everything" she said as she knelt down.
"Go and dress up so that you won't be late" mother said and she went inside. Her mother continued with the house chores.
Few minutes later, Adura came out all dressed with her luggage's. Her mother tried controlling the tears coming out of her eyes as she said "Come my daughter, let us pray before you go".
Adura knelt down as her mother prayed and anointed her. She helped her with the luggage's, as she had already booked pick up bus with God is Good motors(GIGM). By 6:30am, the bus arrived. Her mother hugged her and she entered the bus as she waved to her. They both felt like crying but then, it's all for her good.
Adura called her mother immediately she got to school in Enugu state. It was a day journey and she got there in the evening. Her mother was happy as she rolled on the floor to thank God. After some minutes, she picked her phone to call Pastor Jimi.
Adura was still struggling to pull her box and other bags, when someone decided to help her. Her name is Pelumi...
Hmmm...What were you thinking???
" Thank you so much ma. I really appreciate " she said
"Never mind, at least it's the best I can do since I don't have much luggage" Pelumi said.
"Are you also a fresher? She asked
" No, I am in my final year" Pelumi said
"Wow, unbelievable and you decided to help me. Thank you very much ma" she said
"You don't need to thank me, someone also helped me during my time. So, why shouldn't I be of help, when I have the capacity. By the way, do you have somewhere to stay? Pelumi asked.
" No, I am yet to secure an apartment and it's already late" Adura said
"You can stay in my apartment till you get one" Pelumi said and she thanked her.
Hmm...when God set path for a man
