In my Ugliness

💕 Chapter 15 💔

"No"

"What about your in laws?"

"I will."

4:23 pm

Kilahi entered into the Sister's Coordinator's room where Sefa was all curled up in tears. Church service which usually starts by three was going. She could hear the loud sound of keyboard and drums coming from above the building.

"Sefa?" She called out and Sefa sat up shaking her head in guilt, "I'm sorry." She apologized and Kilahi embraced her.

"I didn't go to any vigil"

"I know dear. I thought I'll be angry," She pulled away looking at her, "Are you hurt?"

"Not as much as I deserved. I almost got raped, Aunty Kilahi, they almost raped me"

"Shh... It's fine" She embraced her again, "It's fine, you'll be fine" "Is Teju fine? I hope they didn't harm him"

"No. Too,  the guy has been worried sick about you. He was the one that came to tell Mom and ...Dad"

"Did Daddy do anything to him?"

Kilahi shook her head, "No, they only told him to leave. Teju is currently in his black book and you on the other hand need to brush your teeth" She snapped and a chuckle bust out of Sefa's lips.

"Mummy and Daddy?"

"They are happy you're alive but apart from that, they're disappointed. I must say the truth, we all are."

Kilahi stepped out into the sitting room afterwards to find Gbadamosi discussing with the president of the organization. She walked close bowing her head in gratitude. "Thank you very much for your hospitality Sir" "It's nothing Ma." He said with a northern accent while staring at Gbadamosi.

The President was from Plateau state. An unsure smile curled his lips as he returned his gaze back to Gbadamosi, "I hope you don't mind my asking Sir, is she your wife?"

Kilahi shook her head, " No! We're just..." She trailed off, "Friends" Gbadamosi completed. "You can say that"

"Oh. You two look like couples, you're both wearing white and black"

"Coincidence" She answered.

"I'm sorry for asking. When we received the call this morning. We were shocked when we heard Gbadamosi George, we were like is It the same Gbadamosi George"

Kilahi became confused, the guy had an northern accent, how in the world did he know him? Is he that popular?

"You know him already?"

"Yes, he's one of the father's in this fellowship"

Kilahi blinked, "I don't understand" "He's my great great great great great great great grandfather" "I'm lost"

Gbadamosi pats the President on the back, "Don't confuse her anymore, I'll take it from here" "Okay Sir. Let me return back to the service" He bowed his head running along towards the stair case.

Gbadamosi held Kilahi's hands to the wall of generational pictures from the 90's till present. He pointed at the 2011 generation where a young version of him was pictured with five other people.

"That's you"

"Yes. I was once a President"

"Wow. You look darker here, did you use bleaching cream?"

Gbadamosi laughed, "Nigerian sun wanted to finish my life. Orientation camp experience was horrible!"

Kilahi couldn't agree more!
