*EPISODE 20*
“What is wrong with you mercy? Her mother asked
“Ehn… nothing mummy” she said and smiled falsely
“Hmmm…. mercy it’s written all over you. You are scared. I can see it and sense that because of your body movement. Tell me, what is it? Or do you know that busayo guy? He looks somehow or what do you think? Her mother said as her heart beat fast.
“Oh no… has he told her anything about me? If not, why is she asking me all these questions? Mercy was lost in thought as her mother tapped her.
“Mercy, this is a sign that something is wrong with you. Common my dear, you can always speak to me” her mother said as she held her hand
“No… I won’t say anything. The last time I told her something, she still went ahead to tell my dad, I look so untrue to them. I won’t walk down that lane this time. I will rather pretend” She thought and finally said
“Mummy, I am okay and I don’t understand what you are saying. Today is the first time I am seeing that guy. I can’t even remember his name” Mercy said and smiled cheaply
“Hmmm…. if you say so. What have you been up to? Her mother asked
“I have been sleeping, watching movies, packing my loads and thinking of how the East is going to be” Mercy said and smiled
“Oh… that’s true my love. Awwn… you are going next week. I will seriously miss you. I know you can’t wait to go but always remember the child of whom you are. Meet up with positive people and don’t forget the gathering of believers” her mother said
“Yes mummy. Thank you so much ma and I believe your prayers will always go with me” She said
“Always baby. Okay, let’s get to the kitchen to prepare what we are going to eat” her mother said as they both went to the kitchen.
