*PART EIGHT*
"It's Pastor Jimi and Bro Matthew" she said and opened the door.
"Welcome sir" she greeted
"Ah Pastor Jimi, welcome sir and also my brother, welcome" mother said as she greeted both of them.
"Thank you ma" they both replied and sat down. Mother excused them and Adura went to get them drinks with snacks.
"This is for you sir, help us eat it with love" she said and smiled. She was going back to get bro Matthew's own before he said "Sis Adura, don't worry about me. I am fine"
"Ah ah bro Matthew, why nau? First time in my house and you won't take anything. No o, you must take something" she said
He smiled faintly and said "Sis Adura don't bother, I am fine. More over, I will be leaving soon" he said
"Alright o but I just want you to know that I am not happy" she said
"Please, be happy" he said and smiled.
"Well, thank you sis Adura for this. I am enjoying it and if I may ask, where did you get it? Pastor Jimi said.
"Thank you sir. My mum made it" she said
"Wow, I love it. I am really grateful, God bless you" Pastor Jimi said
"Amen sir. Thank you sir and also for the other day. I did not get a chance to say thank you and I know you understand. She said as bro Matthew countenance changed
"No, you don't have to thank me. Even the bible instructed us to be our brother's keeper" Pastor Jimi said
"Hmmm, yes I know sir but only few people can do what you did. I never knew I could get assistance from you, I never for once thought about it. When I saw you that day, immediately a word came to my mind which is " Never judge anyone and never look down on anyone". God can send people who we didn't even have a thought about to help us. Thank you very much sir, I am so grateful. You ignited my hope, you didn't make me feel unwanted though I was embarrassed and I also cried because of the reaction of the people I saw as my family. I was pained, I felt unloved and then I remembered, it wasn't their fault. If I am the one, would I also assist the person or join the crowd to murmur. I couldn't even answer the question myself but you did, in spite what others were saying. You took your stand and assisted me. I realised how i look at men instead of God. God bless you sir" she said as she knelt down. By this time, bro Matthew felt so bad that he was about to weep.
"Those words really touched me and I must say, I feel guilty. I am so sorry" bro Matthew said
"Oh no bro Matthew, it isn't your fault. If I was to be in your position, I might have also reacted in such way" she said
"Thank you. I have to be on my way, I have an important meeting to attend. Now that I know your house, I will come back to greet you" he said
"Alright, thank you for coming. I really appreciate" she said as they both escorted him to the gate and turned back
"So back to our discussion, I would like to know how it happened. Your story" Pastor Jimi said
"Hmm....my story" she said and took a deep breath.
I believe we have learnt one or two things from this part. You can write out what you have learnt for others to learn from it.
