JUST A LITTLE SIN - Episode 20

We came down from the bus and began walking towards the church.

“What made you changed your mind..”

Konji asked

“I will rather not talk about it..” I replied.

The truth is that Chumi makes the house very uncomfortable. I wanted to stay home but is never a safe place whenever Chumi is around.

I understand Yoara does not support her or her hate for me but he’s not cautioning her enough. She started gradually with her ill attitude and now she is no longer hiding or pretending about it.

I wonder how much I can take before I explode.

Yoara had asked me not to pay attention to her because is one of the attributes of some women.

He said women don’t like it when a man has nothing to do.

 he said that he will still be looking out for Job for me.

I appreciate that but what is her business with me, she should be focusing on her man not looking for ways to throw shades at me.

And when next she comes with her niece I will never babysit her again. I’m not a nanny or a houseboy, before she reduces my value to the dust which is the exact thing I’m trying to avoid.

I will use this week in searching for any type of job, even if is factory so that I can be leaving the house both on weekends.

I won’t allow anybody to disrespect me because of a plate of food or putting roof over my head.

I will rather sleep under the bridge and scramble for crumps than to be disrespected, especially by a woman with a sharp tongue like razor blades.

“Let me guess, the beautiful usher pushed you out of your comfort zone. I know just the thought of her alone wants to make you go crazy..”

“You’re wrong Konji, I will still be home getting my restful sleep if it was to be her. But is better we change line of discussion or keep quiet if our discussion is going to be centered on a woman, beside we are almost in church..”

Konji began to laugh

“Don’t tell me you’re shy, oh wait you’re inlove at first sight… hahahaha.. lover boy, why are you pretending..”

He was begining to annoy me even more, I thought of what to say that will make him keep quiet.

“So Konji, you shamelessly urinated on your body during the Friday Virgil, a full grown man with no illness pee on himself, very pathetic and shameful incident. if not that I witness it live, I wouldn’t have believed if somebody told me …?”

He turned and looked at me angrily.

“guy, please I’m begging you in the name of God, you can mock me with anything else but keep what happened at that Virgil away from your lips. Is not something to make fun with because I didn’t pee on myself deliberately..”

I pretend like I didn’t hear him and continue talking

“You still have the mind of going back to the exact place that you were disgraced, they even gave you a change of clothes and you accepted in honor. Wait, what if they announce it in Church today that there was a certain brother in the Lord that pee on himself during the Virgil, brother pee pee where ever you are.. please come forward to receive your honorable award of the first man that urinate on himself in a living church. Then I will watch you do a Walk of shame to the alter to receive your pee pee award. Brother pee..piiiiiiii”

I was dancing with my head as i went on singing with the “pii”

Konji face reddened up in anger.

“You don’t know when to stop, do you? Since you don’t then let me inform you that is time to stop. it is not even funny Tomasi, you don’t know that your joke is stale and dry. Stop it already before I use blow on your face..”?

I began to laugh, I haven’t laughed so hard for a long time seeing the anger on his face

“Which of them should I stop? The brother pee pee upcoming award or the song?

I was still talking as we walked into the church and the first person I saw was the Oni look alike usher.

I sighed as memories came rushing back.

Konji cleared his throat loudly, I ignored him.

“Tomasi the lover boy, you finally shut up your mouth. Her presence alone did the magic, I thought you will never shut up.. hahahaha! pretender, you lied that she wasn’t the reason you decide to follow me but obviously she is. You better stop pretending and come out of your shell because I know your type. Pretending not to have interest in a lady but will still sneak out behind to pregnant her…”

I turned to Konji “I’m not done with you, after your today’s award I will continue from where I stop. I may even add more interesting ingredients in the pee pee song..”

Just then she approached us

“Oh my God, I’m really happy to see two of you. I didn’t get your name the last time..”

“My name is Konji and this is Tomasi my friend, he never stopped talking about you, he has fallen in love with you because you’re too beautiful, he likes you alot and..”

I had to stamped my feet hard on konji’s leg, he screamed out in pain.

I have been pinching him, giving him sign to keep quiet but he kept running his mouth, giving the usher lady a wrong idea of the whole thing.

She was smiling shyly and suddenly screamed quietly along with Konji when I stepped hard on him

“Sorry sir, that must have hurt really bad..” she said to Konji, feeling sorry for him

“Is good to see you again..”

That’s the only thing I said to her before walking away.

Konji followed while obviously still feeling hurt from what I did to him.

We sat down beside each other as the service began.

It took about three hours and it was all over.

Closing early is one of the things i love about this church.

I also love the whole emotions they put into worship. The songs are great and the pianist put a total different mood to it reminding you that God remains the ultimate.

During the time the pastor asked if there’s any one that wants to give his or her life to Christ, as few people stepped out, I looked at Konji and he quickly turned and said to me

“I repented during that Virgil, that was when I gave my life to Christ. I’m a new creation now, old things has passed away except you. You’re the only old thing remaining..”

I chuckled ” it must be a half baked repentant because I don’t see anything different about you. You remain the same old Konji to me, there’s nothing new about you. You really need to give your life fully so that the embarrassing p… you understand, won’t return to hunt you again..”

He didn’t say another word to me until after service when he said that the pastor want to see him.

I stepped out to wait for him.
