Previously…FemiI knew how people always died from third degree burns or just never recovered from them. He was fighting for his life right now. The pain must have been so excruciating that he had to be put on sedation. I sighed. I really and truly blew it."Femi... why did you leave like that" Tunde asked me.I sighed and looked at him "I am the cause of all this. I am just bringing destruction to their lives and it sucks." I said."No no don't say that man. You're not the cause. It's evil people who have refused to move on and get a life, they are the ones who caused all this and not you, do you understand?" He said and held my neck looking me dead in the eyes.I started to tear up this was all so overwhelming for me."Do you understand? It's not you. You're not at fault. The people who are at fault have been apprehended bro do you understand me?" He said. I nodded slightly.The guilt still laid on my heart. I wanted to run far away. I didn't want to be around to cause more damage
Previously...Femi.She looked at me and the. At the ring. "Oh the ring. No..." she said. "I protected it with my life." She said.I laughed "my gladiator baby." "You know these things..." she said back making me laugh."Are you okay with the way you're sitting though." I said because she now looked uncomfortable."Chile I'm fine.." she said."Are you sure?" I asked her because even though she was trying to convince me it didn't look fine in the least bit."Okay no I'm tired. Let me lie down now." She said chuckling."Girl you are really finding my triuble." I said before standing up to help her on the bed.Once she was laid, I sat at her foot where I always liked to sit at."I can't wait till we finally leave this hospital. I'm tired of hospitals. The stench makes me sick." She said."I know right. You're probably tired of hospitals. I am too to be honest." I said. It was true. When the kidney failure happened. It was the same thing. We went to two hospitals and spent weeks. It wasn
Previously..Femi.First was to see Dan, the head of POSSAP. Then I would see the criminals. First Ife. I wanted to know why she would even think of setting my fiancée on fire. I cringed just thinking about it. Everything felt so out of place now. I was physically and emotionally drained.I was driving and was almost at the POSSAP station when I made a u turn. I had so much anger in me that I couldn't go before them right now. I'd probably kill somebody.My brother was lying in there with third degree burns fighting for his life. I couldn't even go into the ward to properly see him. He was sedated because the pain was too excruciating.It was heartbreaking, gut wrenching and all in all excruciating to see what had happened to my brother and my love even though her situation was a lot more bearable, she was still suffering.I stopped the car by the side of the road to breathe properly. How was I going to quench the fire in me before it lit another person up. I wasn't up for this.Then
Previously...Femi.I sat and waited. My heart was heavy and there was a reason why his face came and stayed on my mind while I was experiencing this.I noticed how my mind cleared as I sat in the church. Very slowly but I was feeling the weight being lifted.After a few moments, the door opened and I saw the man. Pastor Iren or Pastey. I stood up. The man was much smaller in person. He was wearing a shirt that said Imago Dei on the chest which was brilliant. He looked well put together but also casual at the same time."Hello, Femi. How are you?" He said once he got to where I was standing.I was in shock. His presence carried electric. He had a burning stare and his aura was just too powerful. I felt like falling to my knees and all he was doing was staring and smiling."Femi..." he said and I shook my head, coming back to reality."Hello Pastor Iren." I said and held out my hand he took. I felt a shock go up my arm.I took my hand away immediately and looked at my palm. The skin w
Previously…Ama."Radike. Is there an issue?" He asked. He sounded calmer than he did before he left."No but it is just that it is getting late and we actually want to get going so is it possible that you start coming back?" Radike said.I heard him sigh "Okay give Ama the phone. She's awake right?" Femi asked and Radike handed the phone to me."Hello?" I said."oh hey baby. Look i am so sorry that I am spending so much time out. I had to go see see someone real quick. It appears it is of utmost importance." He said."O.. Kay... so when will you be back to the hospital? It's really late and they need to go." I said."Can you stay alone for a few... like thirty minutes. So they can go and I'll join you later." He asked."Yeah sure. I don't understand why y'all keep babying me anyways. I hope you're fine though. I miss you." I told him. My heart aches because he wasn't here."I miss you too sugar. Just give me a second. When I come back I'll tell you all about it" he said."Okay babe.
Previously..Femi."If you ever want to reach out to me that's my card" he said while holding out a business card to me.I took it and it said "Emmanuel Iren, Pastor, Apostle, Speaker, Singer-Songwriter, Lead Pastor Celebration Church International.""It warms my heart that you want me to have this kind of access to you. I know you don't give it out any how" I said."Well no I don't even though I'd much rather have everyone having access to me. My Instagram is always open to everyone though. I reply almost all direct messages I get but my number is just for people who I want to be able to reach me at will. In this instance, that's you." He said.I knew this man. He was dragged almost every week on Twitter sometimes because of his teachings or his threads or when he said that he would like for social media to be sensored which was actually a very valid point but people always got defensive because of his tweet. He was very audacious online and he would never let anyone bully him. I tho
Previously....Femi."Um so I got there and I met Seun...""That goat." She said smiling."You know him?" I asked."Know him? Everyone knows him. He's like the personal handbag of Pastey. You'll see him hover around him like fly every time. Pastey loves him too much." She said."Oh wow no wonder I saw him in the church by this time of the night." I said."Yeah. He goes to covenant. Pastey is paying his fees there. Because of Pastey he can leave any time he wants from the school. The school does not allow that normally but Bishop David loves Pastey so he allows Seun out of the school. He can come and go as he pleases even though it's not exactly allowed. You're aware. He helps Pastey and that's because he wants to. Pastey would rather he remains in school after all, Pastor David is there to help him." She said."This is really eye opening about the dynamics and it really just showed me how amazing he is. Why is he paying for Seun's schooling?" I asked. I was curious about that because
Previously...Femi.Ama's relationship with Kola had really changed. I was very surprised that Kola asked for Ama first when he got better and we were able to go into the room to see him. They now talked, laughed and gusted about everything that sometimes I felt like I was third wheeling them.Today was Sunday and we were supposed to Celebration Church today. Ama also was getting discharged today so we tried to get them to discharge her wary so that we could meet up for the service which was at 9 am.I had called Pastor Iren during the week and he asked me to come to the church and see him after service. It was important that I did that today. I decided to have the church experience as well as Ama wouldn't shut up about how blessed and amazing the worship was so I decided to go. I could have easily decided to wait till noon when the service would end and then go but it didn't seem right anyways.Ama was already ready to go to church. She was in Kola's room waiting for me to finalize w
