(Episode 35 Cont'd) LOVE AFFAIRS | A novel of the OmidanWURA_files By Segun Alonge Jr

———
I struggled to pull my body up as it vibrated vigorously. One thing was settled in my heart at that time - If I leave earth now, I would surely be back in a matter of minutes.

I was not through with my assignment; hence, I was not ready to lay down my life yet. Sons lay down their lives when they are finished.

By now, I was feeling an object move from the sole of my feet....like a poison travelling fast towards my chest region to stuff out life from my heart. I could tell where it was per second. I grabbed my chest as tightly as though that would prevent the blood from conveying the object and depositing it right there.

I stood unmoved with a great assurance of faith.
Suddenly, a very close neighbor walked into my room. She is more to me like a little sister. She came in with a bottle of oil in hand. I quickly motioned for her to move closer. I rested my head on Ayomi's laps as she stared at me perplexed.

She approached with the oil in hand and poured some out on her palms. I pulled her hands close and laid it gently on my head as I prayed with her and anointed my head with it.

‘It's done! Scriptures is fulfilled again,’ I affirmed.
I requested a meal and in no time I was devouring the content of the place. A minister friend that had been alerted when things got out of hand and I insisted I wasn't going to the hospital came in few minutes afterwards.

He hesitated to believing the message he got was true. There sat the man who someone just told him was at the verge of death comfortably having a meal.
