A Must Read Story: “I Trust Myself, I Can Never Commit Fornication” (Adesewa — Episode 3)

Daddy did not give me money that day. He was so crossed with me, it was mummy that gave me transport fare and a stipend
Which I managed till January allowance was paid. Thank God for the foodstuff I took with me from home, I would have learnt a wonderful lesson from "Mr Hunger". On getting back to Oyan, Bode was still around because there was no money for him to return to school. I told him what I went through because of him, and even then, I wasn't sure if my dad would send me money again as usual, so I couldn't give him money.
He felt sorry for me, and told me he would source for money elsewhere. I didn't know how he did it, but he went back to school the following week. Soon there was a rumour among the choir members that something was going on between Bode and I. Before I knew it, it became viral among church members.
One Sunday morning, Pastor Mrs Williams sent somebody to tell me she would like to see me after service. I wasn't myself
throughout the service. I kept thinking "what did I do?, why does she want to see me?….Anyway, I said to myself, if it's because of Bode, there's nothing between us, and that is just what I will tell her….Period!."
I didn't hear anything in church that day, I was already devastated by the rumour going on, and this?….
Finally, the service was over. I found myself sitting next to Pastor Mrs Williams on a three seaters sofa inside the pastor's office.
Good afternoon ma. How are you my dear?
I'm fine ma. "I know you would be wondering why I wanted to see you..said Mrs Williams". "Yes ma". I answered.
She continued….It's about a rumour going on in the church. Can you please shed more light on the relationship between you and Bode?.
"Ma, Bode is like a younger brother to me, nothing more. Believe me ma. I only render assistance to him whenever he's in need, and that has even stopped now." I told her.
Anyway, I've denied it on your behalf, I only wanted to confirm from you, because the very first day I set my eyes on you, I knew you came from a christian home, and I have no doubt in my spirit that you are well trained ..but then, I want you to be very careful because there is power in tongues. Don't give the devil any chance at all, and don't trust yourself.. if you see or hear a child of God saying "I trust myself, I can never commit fornication"..then, you have heard or seen someone at the verge of falling. Remember 1 Cor 10 v.12. So, please be very careful and the Lord shall help you IJN.
I said "Thank you ma", and left the office. As I was going home, I was telling myself "Now, I really need to be very careful…. though there was nothing between us really, but how could anybody think I could be dating a boy about the same age with Oyindamola ..our second to the last born?, not even the one next to me!..Well, I just need to be careful,help me Oh Lord!".
So, what happened next?. Watch out!!!
