Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5
Daniel didn’t know if he would be
served breakfast once he entered into
the house back, he felt he didn’t have to
embarrass himself by trying to sit down
and wait for the breakfast and at the
end of the day, Nora wouldn’t behave as
if she knew him at all.
Daniel paced into the living room and
sat down. He was a Christian but he
didn’t take everything so serious that he
had to leave for church as early as
possible. He even hated Sunday School
lessons, he liked getting to the church
for the service by ten am than getting to
church for Sunday School.
He picked up the remote control of
the 45 inches flat screen LG television
and that of the decoder that was beside
him and tuned the channel of the
decoder if he could see a movie for few
minutes before getting prepared for the
service.
He started seeing the movie when
Nora got to the dining room and served
the food there. She just sat down. She
didn’t know Daniel’s mind and wouldn’t
want a situation where she would call
him for his breakfast and he wouldn’t
answer her at all. I think if he’s hungry,
he would come for his food here. Nora
had thought as she began to eat her
own food.
Daniel who was hungry kept turning
his head towards the dining room,
wondering when Nora would stop her
bad attitudes. He didn’t know what
would become of him if he walked to
the dining, beside her to eat. What if she
packs her food? He had thought as he
faced the television set again.
Few minutes after Nora finished
eating, she walked to the kitchen and
got her plate washed. She thereafter
rushed inside the house to freshen up
and prepare for that Sunday Service.
Daniel motioned to the dining room
and beside the dining table as he
peeped inside the serving plates. He
opened one of them and the aroma
filled his void stomach. He felt like eating
the food, he didn’t know his boundary
since he hugged Gloria. Abeg, I no dey
eat. He muttered as he closed the plate
but not exactly as Nora closed it up.
He switched off the television set and
walked inside the room to take his bath
too.

“When will you give your life to
Christ?” Gloria suddenly introduced into
the discussion of herself and Alex.
Alex looked at her with leery eyes and
hissed. “I think you’ve done enough
here, Gloria.” He whisked to his feet.
“Enough here?” She smiled broadly.
“Let’s go to church, Alex.” She said.
“Gloria, I said I am not ready to go to
any church, na by force?”
“How would I get married to a man
who wouldn’t teach my children about
the ways of the Lord, Alex? No!”
“You have started again. Marriage is
all about take me or leave me! Several
ladies are out there and they want me
badly.”
Gloria chuckled and frowned almost
immediately. “Then get those ladies,
Alex! If you don’t follow me to church
today, that’s the end between us.”
Alex laughed. “I knew it, Gloria! I
suspected from the scratch that you’ve
been looking for my weak points so that
you can go on with Daniel, right?”
Gloria became indignant. “Hell no!
Why on earth would I do such? But why
on earth are you also an unbeliever?
Why? Why can’t you believe in God? Why
do you find it difficult to go to church?”
“I told you ealier, Gloria. A man who
would preach to an unbeliever, his own
life must glorify your God first. It’s only if
your God can show himself to me, if he
can show how mighty he is, then, I’ll
serve him.” He grinned.
“I’m off.” Gloria said and stood up.
“Alright, great!” Alex felt fulfilled as he
lead the way to the door and locked it
up immediately Gloria left.
