PART 3
"MY REVEREND'S SON"
©️ Opeyemi Akintunde
Inspired by the HOLY ONE.

"Ademide! Ademide!" I called for the second time. I rushed towards him yanking the duvet off his body, expecting to feel heat oozing out of his body. On the contrary , his body temperature was very normal. I touched his neck expecting hotness but instead it still felt normal...

"He..yyyy Big Sis, Hello BIL( Brother in-law)" Ademide said stuttering like someone who was shivering. 

" Ade, if I slap you, you will develop real fever... Get up fast! Who are you planning to deceive with this? Maybe Mum?" I said and the words had barely left my lips when my mother burst into the room...

" Ademi, Oko Mii"  My mother hailed her beloved and only son from the stairs and her world fell apart when she saw Ademide still curled up like a baby she had turned him into...

" What's wrong with my son?" My mother asked

" Fe..ve..rrrr" Ademide said

" Nothing is wrong with your son Mummy, he wants to stay back, he wants to watch the crossover online." I said

My mother touched his neck and to my (not-so shocked) shock, she said ..

" Moro, this boy is having slight temperature. He better stay at home and avoid the stress of the crossover service"

" Mum! But you know Ademide is pretending right?"  I replied

" My son is not pretending" My mum shouted back at me...

" What is happening here?" My Father's voice made me realize we were no longer alone. I turned back and saw my father and my other siblings.

" Ademide is under the weather, so he won't be attending Crossover with us" My mother had said defensively 

" That's impossible, he is coming with us, he will get his healing during the service" My father said with an authoritative voice which soon became history because my mother clapped back instantly...

" How many testimonies of  healings have we heard in church recently, Please don't use my son for experiment. Let him rest it out tonight. If he doesn't attend tonight's service, the world won't end." 

My Father felt embarrassed by my mother's insult. He hissed and walked out. That was the cue for the rest of us to follow him...

" I trust you not to leave me behind Muyiwa" My mother threatened.

In obedience to my mother's threat,My father waited for her to join us in my Father's luxury Family mini bus.

The ride to Church was very quiet. 

*******
As the Bada Dynasty sat in their usual spot, everything within me wanted to throw dignity away and ask one of the girls why Ademide wasn't in Church, however one of Adepeju's friend saved me the embarrassment...

" Where is Ademide?" She mouthed

" Under the weather"  She replied

" What demonic satanically orchestrated weather is that?" I literally wanted to Scream my guts out... 

" God , this is highly unfair. Why make the Devil mess me up like this" I said and you would not believe it, I was tearing up.

The next two hours was the worst time of my life. 
It became terrible when it was exactly 12 midnight and we shouted happy new year. We had a tradition of hugging ourselves. I had fantasized about hugging Ademide . He was going to be the first person I would hug in the year and based on romantic movies I had seen, I believed that the first person I would hug would be the person I would spend the rest of my year with...

Unfortunately, the first person to hug me was my co-usher; Brother Theophilus of all people...

My Phone started ringing and on checking on my screen, it was Rayo, my brother's girlfriend who I absolutely detest.

" Why is she calling me ? To wish me happy New year? No way!" I was getting mad by the second, how come it was the wrong people that were calling me and hugging me. 

I ended the call and went on hugging more people, though the person I really wanted to hug was not anywhere near...

A text message dropped and I checked to see who was wishing me a happy new year ... 

Instead of a Happy New Year greeting, I saw a Sorrowful New year News ...

" Please pick up, your brother has been stabbed by your Pastor's son, Ademide and he has escaped. Janet, Your brother is  bleeding to death .Come to River Club at Ajo Island ..." Rayo had texted

The entire church went silent in that moment...

"What did I just read?"

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
