I dropped the knife I was holding, washed my hands and wrapped them around his neck.
SAM: I missed you too, in fact I almost came to knock your door but I held myself.
PAPA: But why sam? What happened?
SAM: You should know better, you are a pastor, premarital sex is a sin before God we might think we are in control now, what if he lose it? And commit beside Iām eeh never mind.
PAPA: You are what? ( I gave him my babyish look) I know that look sam but it fine if you donāt want to tell me.
I sign and brought down my hands.
SAM: Go take a shower, breakfast we be serve in 10minutes.
PAPA: No, I rather join you in making the breakfast, I wonāt be going out today.
SAM: Wow! That means we are going to be in this house together? I love that.
He smiled and frown almost immediately.
PAPA: About the sex you talked about, I wouldnāt dare to touch you sam. I know itās a sin so you donāt need to worry. (he touched my cheeks). I smiled and hug him, this man is driving me crazy every minute. We finish cooking, he went to take his bath, and I did the same. Ate breakfast and sat down in his room, he brought out his iPad from his bag and started showing me picture, some he was holding a very dark and beautiful woman, and the rest he was siting with a sick woman in a hospital.
SAM: Who is this daddy? (pointing to one of the pic)
PAPA: Thatās my late wife, when she was in California.
SAM: Was she sick? What kind? (with concern in my voice) he smiled got up from the bed and went to stand close to the window.
PAPA: She had blood cancer, so we admitted her in one of the best hospital there in California, they said she will get better but she was going worse each day. (tears in his eyes). I felt pity him so his wife had cancer? Jesus wept I canāt begin to imagine how much pain he must have pass through.
SAM: Iām so sorry daddy, I never knew.
He smiled, no one knew I didnāt tell anyone that my wife died I told just my ministers.
SAM: So what about your kids?
PAPA: I have non, she could not keep any of her pregnancy due to the cancer, she always has a miscarriage. Oh my God this man has really gone through a lot yet he could act this strong before people?
SAM: But why didnāt you tell your people, the church what happened?
PAPA: I donāt know why, I kept it to myself every year I give them different reasons why ātheir mummy could not make it this christmasā
I really felt for him, his eyes has turn red.
