Chapter 136: Make Up Dinner

So now I got back to my seat and began to devour the noodles that sat before me. Hmm, mom really took her time to make the noodle, I am sure she must have made it intentionally for the sole reason which is nothing but makeup. Well, what so ever the reason behind the noodle was, all I know was that the noodle was nice.

"Eat honey, eat and go and show sleep, we will be sleeping early today so that we can be able to leave early tomorrow. Please remind me after this meal to call my friend at the airport to help us book a seat on the first flight tomorrow"

So mom said as we munched on the noodles. So that night, we slept pretty early in anticipation for the next morning. Well, that night too, I had another stupid and non-sense dream again, I just cannot explain the head neither can I explain the tail of the dream. 

That night as I slept, I saw my self I saw myself in the river, with lots of fish, I was playing with these fishes and snakes, I even called them names as I knew them. And the funny thing was that again I saw those birds swimming again in the sea with me, now this river is not just any river, it is the deep blue sea, I was swimming in the sea so comfortable when a young man came to me in the sea, still, in the dream, I look at the man with a probing eye"Where are you coming from? And where were you going to? "

I asked the man who looked strange. But the man looked at me and say;

"Why must you ask me this question every time you meet pass here, you just asked me this same question a few minutes ago, why ask me again."

Shocked and surprised I was at the same time when did I stop you, are you sure that I the one who asked you earlier?"

I asked the man who now looked at me saying;

"Oh, sorry, it must be your Twin brother who asked me and not you."

Hmm, well, in this annoying dream the man thinks that I have one little brother who looked like me, so I do not blame the man for thinking of me as a twin. But the dream was just so confusing. 

Now, even in the dream, I wondered who the man was, and what he was doing at that is, I dont know but I found myself acting territorial, I wanted to know who he was that why he will pass my territory, funny enough the territory in the waster, with fishes and swimming birds. 

So, the next morning, we woke early and took showers, I couldn't tell mom about the dreams, because I do not even understand it not to say explain it to someone. So that day, after the swimming, the preparation mum quickly rushed us to take a meal, before then she had called aunty Paula telling her that we were about to go to the airport now. Well, before we could finish with all our rushing, and mom quickly rushed to the door to open it, she knew it was her friend that was why she never asked "who".

Well, as she came in, she helped mom out with some things and actually added to our delay, she started advising her not to go on the travel. She said that she have bad feelings about it, she kept on gitting against the travel, but mom has already made up her mind, before too long, we were already done, and she walked us to the car, mom had already called on that friend of hers asking her to keep three seats for us. And she also called him today to confirm if he did as she requested and it turned out that he did, but he asked her to haste up so that we can meet up on the first flight.

So when we got to the car, aunty Paula held my hand and prayed, something she had never done since mom told her about me. Since then, that day was the first time that she actually held me, I think maybe she felt that I was going to die there, so, she doesn't want to have her guilt punishing her for the way she treated me. Funny right, right? Well after the prayers we zoomed off. 

Mom drove to that place where we met that mad-looking prophet but she could find no one there, mom picked up her phone to call her, but she heard the phone ringing inside the church made of zink and plank.

"The man's phone rings inside, but, but where is he?"

Mom asked. As she asked this question we went inside only to find bags of clothes on the floor of the church. This was when we realized that the prophet was even sleeping in his church, it was just as we got inside there that the man came inside, he just finished with his bathing.

"Hey! You are here already, nice, sorry I won't take much time. Now you both may go out while I quickly dress, so the man said and we both left. Bith mom and I went outside to wait for the man.

"Mom, does he live there? How does he cope? This is bad mom, we have to help him."

So I said to mom.

"And do you know that he never asked me for anything, I even called him to know the money I will pay him with, but he disappointed me, he was the first Nigerian I know that I know will give me such a response especially when it has to do with money.

This man said to me through the phone, that he does not work for money, that he works for God, according to him:

"How much can you possibly pay me? Will it be enough to buy a seat in heaven?"

This was what he said to mom that left mom jaw stoping.

"Yes my dear, we will surely help him out, just wait let your health be ok, let me just be told by our doctors that you are out of danger.
