PART 18
“ I AM PRESIDENT MAMUD”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
“You can’t run away from destiny, You have to run towards it despite your hurt!” Yenewa said
“ Who are you?” Mamud said as those words pierced deep into his soul..
Yenewa on the other hand was speaking indirectly to herself. She knew she was running from her destiny. She had co-founded the PFNM with Oriel with the mandate of praying for the Nation and it’s leaders. However, her past hurt was standing in her way of fulfilling destiny…
“ We have to face our fears and overcome them… because our greatest fear could be our greatest strength and propeller to doing the right thing!” Yenewa said thinking aloud…
Maybe her hatred for Mamud could make her pray for Him. She could tell God to take him away so as not to destroy the country…
“Who are you and why do you speak like you know me? Are you an angel?” Mamud said as he moved closer to Yenewa…
“Watch your step, 25 foot counts from where I am is a big ditch. Oriel told me that!”
“ Foot counts…!” Mamud didn’t understand what that meant but on looking closely to the girl who sat on the stone speaking with so much authority. He saw her cane…
“ You are blind!” Mamud exclaimed
“ Yes! But we love to be referred to as Visually impaired… Young man , what are you doing out here at night? By the smell of the night, I can tell we are in a new day…”
“ I should be asking you same! What is a young blind lady doing out here in the middle of the night? Are you homeless? I could get you a house in the morning” Mamud said as he intended to walk away
“Your voice, haven’t I heard your voice before? Sounds really familiar… Do you know me, my name is Yenewa, the goddaughter of Oriel of the PFNM”
“ No!” Mamud quickly changed his voice…“I am sorry for disturbing you from whatever you are doing here. I will just look for another spot!” Mamud said disappointedly. He thought he had seen an angel…
“ Disappointed, I am just a blind girl… but I can see through you! Your body burns with energy, I can feel you! Though I am visually impaired, I have been blessed to see with my nose, my hands, ears.. and right now I smell…!” Yenewa says and stops suddenly
“ What can you smell?” Mamud asked in fear
“ Can you come closer?” Yenewa said . Her intentions was to preach Christ to whoever this person was and she needed him close…

Isire sat on her bed in the hotel room. Something didn’t feel right about the previous day. Here, she was still awake at 2am. She had the strong urge to call Mamud to check on him, but things had gone past that level now!
Hidoko had made love to her 3 times within the 2 weeks she had spent in his private hotel.
