EPISODE TWENTY-EIGHT
After eating her mom’s food, they had gisted for close to two hours as she went on and on to gist her of her experiences at mummy Grace’s place. She didn’t omit informing her of her amazing and friendly roommate too.
They had exchanged phone numbers before parting ways, just so they could keep in touch with each other, and in a way be accountable to each other.
It wasn’t long Debby came out of her bathroom with towel on her face that she received a call.
“Hello?” She said as soon as she swiped towards the green button.
“Hello dear? How are you doing today?”
“I’m fine and you?” She responded casually. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t tell who it was as the number wasn’t saved on her phone
“I’m okay too Debby. Do you know who you’re speaking with?”
“No, I was about asking sef.”
“Lol….okay it’s Charity.”
“Wait…..which Charity?”
“Haba, what audacity! Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about me because we parted ways for just six months Debby. Ordinary six months!”
“Oh oh oh, Jesus! Charity!!!! Babe I’m so sorry, my head has been full with a lot of names recently.
Kai, it’s such a crime to have forgotten your name o,infact it’s an abomination and I apologise deeply.”
“Hmmm! The Lord forgive you o. I’ve forgiven you sha.”
“How far na, how are you doing today?”
“My dear I’m fine o, I’ve been doing well. I’ve been trying to call you for sometime now, and it’s not been going through.”
“Sweetheart don’t mind me my dear. The place I went to be mentored, there’s hardly NEPA light there so we use gen at night. Plus I forgot my charger at home, making it very difficult to charge when the opportunity comes.”
“Oh okay, no problem. At least you’re home now.”
“Yes dear, I am.”
“So baby guess what?”
“Ah hmmm….this one you’re asking me to guess hmmm…..oya gimme the full gist, what has happened?”
“Ah ah. You’re bad at this guessing game o. I’m asking you to guess and you’re asking me to tell you without any trial.”
“I know I’m super terrible at guessing games, and that’s why I’m asking you to tell me what it is straight up.”
“Okay o. Well, I called you to invite you to my wedding coming up in a month’s time.” Charity said with ‘matured’ excitement in her voice.
“Wedding? Whose wedding?” Debby asked after looking at the phone twice. She wasn’t sure she heard right.
“My wedding na, ah ah.”
“Your wedding? Ha, Jesus. Praiseeeee the Lord!!!”
“Hia! Babe which one is Praise the Lord again na? Abi, don’t you want me to get married again ni. Or my turn never reach?”
“Ah haba na, it’s an innocent praise the Lord na….so tell me, how did it happen. In just few months sha…after waiting and being anxious for years.”
“Hmmmm…..my dear it’s God o. I just realised that I’ve not been doing the Lord’s will while he kept me in the waiting room. My sister it’s my blindness to what God wanted me to be busy with while waiting for this miracle that delayed this breakthrough o.”
“My love you’re speaking in parables o, how do you mean?”
“See it’s not something to be talked over the phone jare, before you finish my card for me.”
“Ah don’t worry. I’m coming to your house as soon as possible.”
“Really? All because you want to hear gist?” Charity said with a chuckle.
“My dear, anything for gist o. You know me now.”
“Lol…God will deliver you o. Okay now. Till you come.”
“I will dear, I will.”
” Something she’s been worried about for months happening in less than a year. Abeg I need to go and hear the details.” Debby soliloquized as soon as she dropped the call.
No words…..but I’m happy for Charity sha
