“I don’t know, I’m perplexed right now. Someone was in this your room and I was the person’s target.” “Jennifer are you sure you are okay?” she inquired while placing her left hand on my neck. “I’m telling you something serious and you’re asking if I’m okay? In short what the hell is wrong with everyone? I told my mum the other day and she was finding it difficult to comprehend. I’m telling you now what just happened, you are telling me if I know what I’m saying. Please just leave me. I can’t sleep” I left the room and went straight to the balcony upstairs to get some fresh air. “Jennifer please you still don’t understand” she tried to draw my attention but I ignored her and left.
“I don’t even know what made me to leave my house in the first place. What is even wrong with me? oh God! I left my brother at home all because of a movie” I kept blabbing soliloquies with my left hand placed on my hair. “And by the way I just hope it’s not pastor that came to the room. “What was his intentions, was he planning to rãpe me? Just like what happened in the dream?” I kept talking to myself.”Jennifer, Jennifer “cynthia called and hurriedly dashed to where I was.
“What is it? Please don’t even think of telling me to sleep with you in this house. In short I’m not sleeping in this house. It’s better I stay awake till morning then I return to stay with my brother.” I snared seriously at her. “Jennifer, this is my house, just listen to yourself. No just listen to what you’re saying. I’m like a sister to you and you can’t even speak up and tell me what’s going on. Fine!! Go to wherever you intend to go. I’m leaving” she remarked adjusted her wrapper and left.
“Don’t you get it? Please just go. In short, I’m tired of explaining. I don’t even know what made me to come here in the first place” I exclaimed to her as she left to continue her sleep. When she left I overheard someone walking through the corridor and was kind of curious to know what was happening “Jennifer, what’s going on?” immediately I heard the voice, I retreated in great fear “Jesus! pastor, is that you?” I asked in complete shock.”It’s me. “Shhhh! it’s me. Reduce your voice” he whispered.
Immediately he said this I quickly gave him a thick sound slap on his left cheek and squeaked viciously at him “what kind of pastor are you? this is how so many pastor’s go round and be deceiving a lot of ladies out there. You’ll be collecting tithe and offerings to enrich your pockets. Who knows what you’re planning next.” “Enough!! Jennifer one word from you again and you’ll see the other side of me” he protested. “You think respect is all about age? You’ve already lost my respect for you long before now, and you should know that” I boldly told him right in his front.
“Who knows how many women you’ve had affairs with in that church. I give thanks to God for my life because I know I won’t become a victim. What do you think my dad’s reaction would be like if I told him all you’ve been doing to me? Because I know my dad very well, he doesn’t tolerate nonsensê at all. In case you don’t know, let me just tell you openly. That thing that you’re planning in mind, that thing you want from me, it’s never, ever going to work. You’re a pastor and I know you wouldn’t want me to tarnish your image. And you know I can do that. So you better respect yourself” I left him there as he continued to silently look at me with a menacing expression.
“I’ll be leaving your house tomorrow morning and I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Just leave me alone. You can do whatever you want with other girls I won’t mind but don’t ever try it with me. I hate what I don’t like.” “Jennifer please understand.” “Understand what nkwa? I exclaimed. Go and meet your wife! go and sleep!!” I shouted at him. His wife overhead me so she came over and was in great astonishment when he saw his husband awake during this time of the day.
“Ah ah, Leonard what are you doing with this girl by this time of the day. It’s almost 1am, I don’t understand. Wait let me get this straight! Is it my husband you were shouting at?” “Hey honey it’s okay. We will discuss this later please let’s all go back to sleep.” Leonard said to his wife. “Eh e e you better tell me what’s going on before it’s too late. How can a married man like you be awake with this little girl by this time of the day? And why was she shouting at you” she thundered at him like someone with a venom that was enraged.
“Honey please calm down” he appealed to his wife. “And you, what brought you to my house by this time of the day? because I was here throughout the afternoon and I didn’t see you in this house so you came during the night, so what was your intention? You better start talking because as you can see I’m not in a good mood” she asked, facing me, while shaking her left leg incessantly like someone that was ready to fight.
