“Sir I’m not obliged to go to your church, not today. As it stands, I don’t feel at ease sitting down here with you in your car. Please take me back. I want to go home.” “Shhhh Jennifer! you talk too much, do you realize I’m driving? I’ve tried to explain to you several times but you’re still finding it difficult to comprehend. Could you please do me a favor by remaining silent till we get to the church?”
“I’m just giving you this little respect because you’re my pastor. If not, I should have told my parents what you did to me long before now. Who knows what you’re planning to do next because as it stands, I don’t even trust myself talk more of thrusting someone else. Please just let me go, I didn’t ask for any of this.”
“I said you should shût up!!! Pastor thundered viciously at me. I remained silent till we finally got to the church.
When we got there, prayer service had commenced and they were watching it live from the mother church. “Go and join them, we will talk when time is up to 2pm” Pastor whispered to me. I joined them as instructed. We had series of prayers, ministering, counseling and all that. I wasn’t with cash so I couldn’t give an offering. Pastor came and he wrapped everything up and everyone started exiting. Although few members were present had it been it was on Sunday, members would’ve been much.
“Jennifer, where are you.” “I’m here pastor,” I replied him as I hurriedly dashed to where he was. “Sit down, and hold my hands. Close your eyes as well,” he said. He held my hands and started praying as usual “Oh lord my father! As you’ve said in 1 Thess 5:16-18, Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Lord we worship you, we give you praise, we thank you for the gift of life, you are worthy o lord.”
I opened my left eye to observe him as he kept praying and speaking in tongues. In my mind I was like “I don’t even know if I should trust this man, look at how he’s praying seriously like someone that seen Christ one on one. It’s alright,” I said to myself, closed my left eye as I joined him in the prayers. He finished everything and told me to follow him to his house that he’d take me back to my house before 6pm that I shouldn’t worry about anything that he’d take care of it.
I told him I can’t. Could you believe that this man knelt down to appeal just for me to follow him to his abode. He knelt down like someone that was about to propose. “Pastor please stop this thing you’re doing. I’m just a young girl, why would you be kneeling for a girl like me, please stop. I’m not comfortable with this” I said to him while barely covering my face with my right hand.
I felt terrified. I couldn’t even speak. He threatened not to get up if I don’t say yes. Because the shame was too much for me to bear, I hastily accepted. I was only looking at him when he rushed to give me a hug. He drew his lips closer and was about to insert a kiss when I glanced to the left and pretended I was unaware of the situation. He kissed my left hand instead when he saw I wasn’t interested.
“Jennifer, it’s just a kiss, don’t think too much okay, the bible says love your neighbour as yourself and I’ll never get tired of loving you. Okay, let’s move on. He quickly picked up his bible and adjusted his suit before taking his car keys and directing me to his vehicle. I only followed his instructions. As soon as we were in the car, my mother called, and the pastor assured me that he would take care of everything.
“Hello Jennifer my sweet daughter, hope you’re fine?” “Yes ma, she’s fine, it’s pastor that’s speaking. I told her not to take calls because I don’t want her to be distracted.” “okay, but let me just hear her voice.” I turned towards Jennifer and motioned for her to say something. “Mummy I’m fine.” “Okay I’ll be expecting you in the evening okay, we’ll talk better when you come. love you dear” She said, gave me a peck and aborted the call. Alright let’s go. He started the car and was driving on moderate speed.
After few minutes of driving we got to his house. Pastor took me to meet his daughter. “Ahh where mum” pastor asked his daughter unity. “She left for a walk, probably to see someone.” “it’s alright” pastor responded. “Jennifer, come let’s go inside but before then, have you took your bath?” “Not really.” “Go over there that’s the bathroom, go and take your bath and meet me in the sitting room. we have alot to discuss” he said while pointing to the direction of the bathroom.
So I dashed over to Unity’s in the garden, where she was watering the flowers. To assist me with one of her pads, which she gave me, she also showed me the room I could use before leaving. I grabbed it, quickly strîpped nàked, and dashed to the bathroom to take a bath. I was already on my period, and the pad was completely soaked. So, after I finished bathing and was ready to put on the new pad, I heard a knock on the bathroom door. My heart pulse quickened. “Jesus! who could that be?” I said to myself.
