Episode 31
Arinola walked straight into her room as soon as they got home. She didn't even wait to have any conversation with Funto and Ewa as they were both surprised.
She couldn't eat and sleep as she was totally lost in thought with different words running through her mind.
"Oh God...what am I going to do? This is the secret of my life that no one knows about, even my so called friends. I have slept around with different rich guys to get money, just to pay for my school and also take care of myself.
It all started when my first boyfriend Jide, disvirgined me. He said, I have to give myself in exchange of money and now, I am addicted to it and also use it as a means to collect money from guys and no one knows about it.
God, please you just have to forgive me because I don't think I can leave the old ways and I don't think I can fully trust you. I trusted my father but he left me alone on earth with my mother that has little contribution to my life. I am all alone" Arinola said to herself as she was crying profusely
Then her phone buzzed. She picked up her phone to check who was that as tears were dripping from her eyes. It was a message from Pastor Theophilus. He was actually checking on her well being.
She wiped her tears and thought, "Can he be my helper? Should I just tell him everything? No, he can see me as a whore. So, I won't tell him everything now but I can ask him some few questions about trusting God"
Arinola replied his message as they began to chat and it lasted for 4 hours. They didn't just talk about spiritual matter but, also discussed about themselves and even exchanged photos. It was an interesting moment for Arinola, as she didn't want the chat to end and moreover, she loved the way he addressed them on Sunday before Pastor John came to speak with them.
"I think, I have found someone I can trust" Arinola said to herself and that night, marked the beginning of mentoring for Theophilus as Arinola said "I accept you as my Spiritual Guide and Mentor"
Arinola, felt like a burden was loosed in her heart after discussing with Theophilus even though, she hasn't told him all about her but she felt it's a gradual process

"Hmmm...this is a huge responsibility that this sister, has placed on my shoulder. God, I pray you will help me or has pastor John seen this coming before giving me the responsibility to lead the new converts? He said to himself as he turned off his data, prayed and sleep.
