*DAVID ATTROCITIES*
*Episode 25*
Tolani's break for the first semester was over, as she returned back to school. She attended Gcf (Global community fellowship) where her knowledge about Christ was renewed, as she came out of living a doctrine and religious lifestyle. She joined the church choir, which increased her knowledge about music.
One day, the church organized a program, where they invited ministers from their headquarters. While the program was going on, one of the ministers who prayed for her had a revelation, telling her to end her relationship that there is a greater one waiting for her.
She felt bad and if affected her mood throughout the day. She did not know what to do, as she told Tara and Mr Tomiwa [her school father]. She met him during their orientation class in 100 level and she seeks for their advice's before taking actions. He supported what the minister said, as he wanted her to be focused on her growth into the knowledge of Christ.
For days, she was thinking on what to do.
"Hmmm, Can a minister of God be lying or should I satisfy myself even though my mind is not at peace.
I need to break up with him" she said as she picked her phone to call him.
Ayomide pleaded but she didn't respond as she hanged the call and refused to pick his calls. It was a hard decision for her because, she loved him so much but after what the minister said, she lost her peace. Rebecca called her and begged on his behalf. Tolani explained everything to her but Rebecca insisted that she should think about it very well and the years, they had been together. She agreed to what she said as she needed time to sit down and rethink.
David could not come home because of his assignment of initiating new members. The school admin, called Mr Alabi and explained everything to him, and he got angry.
Mrs Alabi, picked her phone and called Tolani
"Tolani, how are you doing? See, your daddy has started again. He received several calls from your brother school, for the atrocities he committed. Can you believe your brother, has joined bad gang.
Your brother is a cultist, he and his assistant beat a guy and he ran out of the hostel. He also spent his school fees, to buy drinks and sleep with ladies. The house is now hot and your daddy keeps nagging and shouting at everyone because of him. He is even cursing him. I will leave the house o, because I am tired of everything" Mrs Alabi said to Tolani when she called her.
"For how long will this keep going on? Tolani said.
She was totally speechless as she told her to greeting everyone and ended the call.
As she dropped the phone, she remembered what her pastor usually says "The words of your mouth can go a long way in blessing people and also, the thought of your mind. Always reflect on positive things and pray in whatever situation"
She included her family in prayer, especially her siblings. She prayed for the salvation of their lives.
Tolani guided herself properly, as many guys were clinging to her and asking for a relationship. All the guys were coming after her body (the shape) and she ignored them because they were not serious. She thought about Ayomide and she still loved him. So, she decided to accept him back, partially because of self-pity.
Ayomide was very happy because, he could not think straight in class and he hasn't been eating well. Everyone in his department knew something was wrong with him, "Thank God everything has been restored" He said.
Tolani and Tara woke up late so, they couldn't meet the first class. They had to prepare for the second class. Getting to class, Tara observed Tolani. She noticed she could not look straight and her legs were crossing each other. She was too shy, and could not look at the crowd and walk confidently.
Tara decided to talk to her when they got back to the hostel.
"Tolani, I am sorry to ask but how do you feel about being shy? Do you think its complicated or normal because for days, I have studied you and its as if, you are struggling with low self-esteem? You can browse more on it and study but, I believe that is what is going on with you and I don't know if you know about it? She said.
Tolani could not talk, as she was trying to figure out if what she said was true. She thought about it, her shyness had gone beyond being shy but why is all this getting obvious now?
Stay with me as we journey together.
