PASTOR HELENA
Written by Nicholas Stephen
Episode 1
(How we met)
Mum and dad traveled and left me in the house although I was a grown up man which means I could literally take care of myself. I was only 26 and I was present with my junior sister that was just 22. Everything we needed was in the house, food, clothings, and so many things. My sister was the one that loves traveling. I had a girlfriend back then but it later turned out to be that she’d been cheating on me with another man so I withdrew myself from her.
I was done with my BSC although I was a bit chubby. Most of my friends gave me a nickname while I was still on campus “Bigi”
One thing I despise the most was being religious. I rarely go to church even while I was on campus my friends had to force me to attend if peradventure, I attend, I’d just stay outside, then look for a pretty damsel to gist with till the whole service had elapsed. The truth be told I love women and having séx was a hobby of mine regardless of not having a girlfriend. There’s how I normally do it.
I go to church with my parents once in a while but I hardly enter inside the church. I’d just hang around till service was over then we head home. My dad had warned me countless times about it but I wasn’t obliged, each time he’d steer up such conversation, this is what I always tell him “I don’t believe in Christianity but I believe that there’s something good and there’s something bad. I’m a philanthropist. I also believe that there’s right and there’s wrong and we should treat others the way they’d want them to treat us.”
My sister and I visit my aunt primarily on weekends to spend time with them; one of her sons, “Collins,” was a very dear friend of mine, and we still keep in touch. My junior sister works in a restaurant. Then what I do is that I’m good in making shoes. That’s what I use to manage myself, once I get the size of your leg, I go ahead and start making the shoe, I present it to you and then I collect my cash.
I actually came across the pastor one particular day that I went to present shoes to someone, although I don’t know the person but he had noticed that I was quite good at what I do. So I did what he asked and handed him the shoes, he gave me my money, and I departed. On my way back, A woman of average height stopped me. I considered ignoring her at first, but as she approached, her shape alone caused me to pay attention to her.
“Hello, my friend please can I get just 3minutes of your time if you don’t mind?” she hastily asked.
“Okay. I’m victor by name. Alright I’m listening.” I answered while seriously looking at her.
“Alright my friend.” She answered and walked me to a spot adjusted her skirt and then we sat down.
“Victor I’m truly sorry cos I know you must have something you’re doing or probably somewhere you’re heading to….” She muttered, bringing her bible alongside with a pen from her handbag.
“It’s okay ma, I comprehend,” I replied her.
“Okay I’m Helena by name and I’m the Pastor of Peace redemption ministries a church I started few months back. Something from the spirit actually told me to talk to you. I’m glad to have you here” she smiled while giving me a handshake.
“Okay peace redemption ministries I’ve heard about the church numerous times, so you’re the pastor wow that’s wonderful. I don’t really like this religious stuff of a thing but I had to give you my attention because of the way you approached me.” I swiftly retorted.
“So how do I reach out to you because this is actually our first time of seeing each other” I added while adjusting my bag.
She brought out the pen, brought out a note from her bag and gave it to me adding that I should drop my contact and address.
When I finished, she assured me she’d give me a call, then she greeted me, handed me one of her flyers and we parted ways. I was at the corner, gazing at her back view as she walked away.
“Hmmm, what if this woman is married? Hope this is not what I’m thinking but this woman is damn good so beautiful and…, anyways let’s see how this one goes.” I said to mysélf.
