In Love With My Pastor

Episode 6

Continue from the last scene

I began to feel sleep, even papa too was but was too tire to stand or so I thought.

SAM: Papa, you should go inside, if you are feeling sleepy sir.

He looked at me as if I had said something wrong, for a second I got sacred and wanted to apologize, then he smiles and said

PAPA: Hey calm down, it wasn’t you I was staring at, I wanted to say thank you for the food it was ok, and about people who wash my clothes and cook for me, we have worker that help men like us, besides some member come to help me at time.

SAM: Oh, daddy I was sacred oo, I thought I had say something wrong. I should go inside before I fall asleep here again.

I stood up and wanted to go but he stopped me with he sweet voice.

SAM: Do you pray before you sleep at all?

I didn’t know what to say, because his right I don’t pray before I sleep, after the hectic day at the office, I just take a shower and then the next thing I’m off to dream land. But I can’t tell him that, so I had to lie.

SAM: Eeeh yes daddy I pray before I sleep sir.

But it sometimes when I’m not too tired.

PAPA: My child, always pray before you sleep, it’s pace way for God to protect you.

SAM: Alright sir, I will pray before I sleep sir, goodnight sir.

PAPA: Alright my child. Goodnight God be with you.

I thanked him and went inside, that night I prayed, and I enjoyed it, why? Even me I don’t know but I liked the fact that papa cared about my spiritual life. I slept peacefully.

The next morning was sunday, papa woke up before me usual, he knocked on my door, that I should wake up else would be late for church. I almost told him to go alone but d–n it that would be very bad so I got up, without saying my morning prayers and open the door for him.

PAPA: You don’t want to be late for church, do you?

I rub my eyes lightly and looked at him very well.

SAM: I’m sorry daddy, I over slept. I will be out in 5minutes.

He left without saying a word.
