PART 22
" ONCE UPON A TIME "

" I am her uncle, the two people who brought her are just good samaritans."

" Where are they? I must see them before discharging her" the doctor insisted

" Doctor, don't you understand what I am saying, am I speaking Greek? THEY HAVE LEFT...." Harry said

The doctor doesn't look convinced.

" I will have her discharged later in the day"

Harry knew he didn't have all that time...

" Doctor, I have told you what is wrong with my niece is more spiritual, and I need to take her to our family priest in Cotonou. I promise you if she dies here, I will make sure everyone hears about how you did not release a patient to their relative. Be ready for some bad publicity for your hospital, Doctor Dayo" Harry said emphasising his name as a form of blackmail.

" Ok...you have to sign some papers" Doctor Dayo said

" But first, I have to speak with the patient alone."

" Why?"

" Because I have to be sure this is not against her will, at least she is not a child"

" Ok..." Harry said standing up with the intention of going to the room to prepare Rachel for the questioning.

" No...you have to wait here, while I go see her privately " The doctor said bursting Harry's balloon.

" Why this lack of trust? This is very demeaning"

" I am very sorry...I must do things right"

" Sure!" Harry replied sarcastically

*******
Kemi felt the urgency to leave Janet...

" I should come back to continue the story. I need to check on Rachel" Kemi said

" Oh no please, you can't stop the story there... that's the point I am right now... How did you cope with your first in laws after their son's death. Right now, I heard my mother in law is presently sedated every night before she can sleep."

" For me, my first husband didn't have a mother, but a father who till now is my good friend"

" Really? How did you do it?" Janet asked

" First things first is to make them know you are in pain and never try to compare your pain to their pain. Make them see that you feel for them ... " Kemi started another story telling cum lecturing session.

*******
On a second thought, the driver stopped his vehicle.

" Not all Bible Carriers carry fire...Who knows maybe he is just one of those Church goers..." the driver said engaging the reverse gear.

*****
" Thank God! I am sure this
Man must be a man of the Spirit for him to reverse, he has seen the hand of God on me..." Pastor Greg thought as he saw the car reversing to where he stood.

" NO!" Pastor Greg heard the Voice of the HolySpirit say to him...

" Father! On this matter, I said I am not going back home.. God! Please don't tell me No! " Pastor Greg replied within

" Where to?"

" Anywhere you are stopping will be fine, I am going to Agbede...."

" Exactly, where I am headed!" The driver replied

" 1200!" The driver said

" Ha! Sir...actually...the thing is..I am looking for a free lift... I am a servant of God and I came to see someone, but erm...the thing is I couldn't see the person...the person ought to give me money...so please if you can honour the God in me..."

" Sir! How much do you have! You are spitting on my passenger." The driver said

At that point, Pastor Greg notices the sleeping passenger whose face was turned towards the passenger. He was only able to see the right side of his face.

" Sorry sir! Actually, the truth is I have nothing...I like to be honest"

" You can't be poor and be dishonest at the same time, that will be double calamity, please get into the Car."

" Thank you my brother... I am not angry that you just insulted me that I am poor, because you are correct, but one thing I know is that very soon my insults will give birth to results" Pastor Greg said while trying to open the door of the back seat. Just like the front seat, the door didn't bulge.

" Let me help with that!" The driver alighted and went to open the door as he did with Rogers

Padtor Greg saw what happened...

" Sir, I am not the only one that needs a change of story, this your car also need a change..." Pastor Greg said joking.

As soon as Pastor Greg sat on the Chair, a sensation ran through his Spine. Pastor Greg broke forth in tongues as a way of neutralizing whatever had happened...

" Jesus! Jesus!" Pastor Greg kept muttering as he felt glued to the chair...

" Father, I am sorry, please don't let me perish like this ...I am ready to go back to Nineveh oooo"

" Your Nineveh is right here in the car with you" The voice replied....

"It's okay," Tola said petting her on her back, Sarah cried for a long time then wiped her tears and rested on the back of the bed. "What would you like to eat?"
